Including six gam*-* againat big nine colleges and an other with Notre Hume. The schedule Sept 27 lll.noia at t'rbana; ()<t 4 Notre Dame here; O*f II .Michigan at Anu A bor, Oct.

Oct 29 (t l’i Great quarterbacks are both a tradition and a football success formula at Notre Dame and today the fighting lri**h were willing to pin their hopes for another nation al championship squarely on th*' field hadershlp of 21 year old Johnny Lujack. Notre Dame captured the fancy of the nation's gridiron funs ha* k In Hie days when the immortal Knute Ro* kn<- had Harry Etuhldr*her directing the "four horsemen" and they've belli it down through the years as the Irish have been directed by talented field generals like Frank t'arideo, Angelo Bertel Il and now Lujack Lujack has been the kingpin in the Notre Dame team that has rolled over llllnoh, Pittsburgh, Purdue and low.* without taking a deep breath along the way. Saturday at Baltimore the Irish play their annual gume with Navy. In a game that will give Lujack a chance to perform before a critical eastern audience for the first time since th*- Army game of 1943 Lujack proved in that debut three years ago he possessed the makings of a brilliant quarterback The week liefore th*- crucial test with Army. Bertelll was called to active marine duty and direction of the team fell to the unknown Lujaik The 190 pound Conners ville. Pa youngster responded by completing eight out of 15 for ward passes, two of which wengood for touchdowns a* Notre Dame won 26 to 0. Lujack finished the 11'43 cam palgn as the regular quarterback, but by the time the next season rolled around he was In the navy He returned to the collegiate scene this fall. Frank Leahy, Notre Dame coach who ranks as one of the profess ion's most conservative members, unhesitatingly ranks Lujack over Bertelll. "Lujack is the better allround player." Leahy says, "he Is a superb defensive player, a fact that Is often overlooked in view of his fine offensive ability and excellent team direction." Leahy, a perfectionist himself, admires the same trait in Lujack. “Lujack is a tough taskmaster and exalting in his demands on the practice field and In a game." Leahy says, "when things suit Johnny, then we know the per formances will be satisfactory to the coaches." Notre Dame hasn't been forced to open up with a full-scale pass Ing offensive yet this season, but Lujack ranks well up among the mid west leaders with 25 completions In 46 attempts. I*ast Saturday against lowa, he connected with seven out of 11 chances for a gain of 133 yards. Leahy complimented latjack In the dressing room at lowa on his passing and the Irish quarterback replied "Coach, with the kind of pro 1 tection I get back there anybody I could complete 'em.” i Other games Involving mid west . teams this week pit Ohio State against Northwestern; HJlnois I against Iowa; Michigan against I Minnesota; Wisconsin against i Purdue and Pittsburgh against Indiana!

And the former Lafayette athlete just cant lielleve the formula that broke a 22-game losing streak a* CCNY topped Wagner, 27-6. for Its first victory since the opening game of 1943.
