Notre Dame To Play Trojans On Saturday South Bend. Ind , Nov. 25. itlf’t Notre* Dame's football | team, loaded with power, speed ■ and savvy, meets crippled Southern California tomorrow with a ; "revenge" motive But fe*r the Trojans, the Irish string of conse*< utive victories woulel be* 30 instead of eight Ami It was just a middling South-1 ern California football dub which broke* a 21 gam** winning streak fe*r Notre Dame* with a 14 tee 14 tie* at Isis Angeles in the* final game* of the* season Still Notre* Dame will be seek- | ing Saturday to extend its string of games without elefeat to 3. It was favoreel to win by three touchdowns. or 2" points. There* was certainly a chance. I though, that the- Trojans, younger ami metre beset by injuries this year than the* 1918 team was. will have the* same determination of the 1948 club and come just as dose* or closer to an upset. Coach Frank Leahy of Notre* Dame*, always worried about a griel contest, feared this game* as much as any of th** season. "They're* a high scoring team. ! as the* record will show,” he said There was also an intimation from the Irish coaching staff that perhaps the Notre* Dam** team reached its peak too early in the season, maybe in the* annihilation of tlie fine* Tulane squad. 46 to 7. ami now might be "over the hill." And there* was a coaching staff fear, helped bv scout Jeehnny Druze* report that •'they're* ready for us now just as they were* last year.” that Southern California woulel out-spirit the* usually highstrung Neetre Dame eleven.

Nationals, Packers Play Five Overtimes By United Press Consider today the plight of the Syracuse Nationals ami the Ander•on Packe rs In the* National Basketball Association. They battleei through a record five- overtime period* last night before* the Nationals finally won out. 125 to 123. and now they are faced with the- possibility of playing the game over. It seem* that when the regulation game ended in a 76-76 tie, I coach Howie- Schultz of Anderson filed a protest over a substitution technicality. So if the protest Is upheld by league officials, the game will be erased from the rec- , ord beeoks. Should the game* he called "official," here* are* the* records that , will go into the books: five overi time periods: most total points In on** game. 248; most points one team. 125 for Syracuse, and most tertal fouls. 130 An estimated 7.004) fans spent four hours of their Thanksgiving night to see the game at Syracuse anti undoubtedly sighed thanks when the marathon struggle was ovt r. For the non believers, here's the ; scores at the end of each period: Syracuse ■ 17 30 50 76 83 87 95 H>7 — 125 Anderson is 41 55 76 83 87 95 107 — 123 In a single overtime period at Sheboygan, the local Redskins turned back Tri-City. 120 to 11.3. Th** Fort Wayne Pistons dumpeel the Boston Celtics. 99 to 85, despite a Sfkpoint effort by Tony Lave III: Lt s Pugh's set shot with one second to play gave the St. Louis Bombers a 65 to 63 victory . over the Baltimore Bullets, and the* New York Knickerbockers gained their fifth straight victory by edging the Philadelphia Warriors, 75 to 70. to California am) Stanford anti tied Ohio State But Tretjan determination could tfirn the result tomorrow upside down.
