Noire Dame Having Injury Troubles South Bend. Ind.. Sept. 23 i ( t'P) The loss of halfbacks and I other key players due to ‘ and graduation may keep Notri Dame from winning another mythical national football championship this year. Frank Leahy, still hardly recov ered from the loss of his two outstanding tackles. Ziggy Czarabski and George Connor, and quarter hack Johnny Lujack. found his key backfield prospects In poor shape, Terry Brennan, a light footed and i classy left half. Ernie Zalejski. Brennan s replacement, and fullback John Fanelli all came down with bad kneet. and their chances to do a good Job season-long were slim In addition. Emil Sitko. the right halfback regular, went out this week with a bad thigh. This combination left Leahy with a makeshift backfield for his open- ; er against Purdue Saturday. Either Hilly Gay. a newcomer, or 147I ound Coy McGee, probably will be | he left half while Sitko may make it at right half. At fullback Fanelli may start, but Mike Swistowicz can tarry the bur den satisfactorily If necessary To replace Lujat k at quarterback Leahy has to rely on Frank Tripucka in the early games. After hat sophomore Bob Williams, labeled as a "good prospect." may j become a capable reserve. Tripucka understudied Lujack for three sea suns, in both spring practice and .he fall campaign, but he lacks, game experience. Ralph McGehee ard John Falon probably will stait at tackles Saturday, hut Leahy still is beating his material laden squad for better luallfled men. Otherwise the Irish line will be| good Jim Martin and Leon Hart are veterans for the ends while aptaln Bill Fischer and Marty) Wendell could be the liest pair of :uards In the nation.
