Los Angeles Group Fights Land Transfer LOS ANGELES — W — A group of citizens opposing transfer of 300 acres of valuable land to the Brooklyn Dodgers for a ball park plan to start ringing doorbells today in an effort to force a public vote on the issue. C. A. Owen, a former Civil Service commissioner, said the doorbell ringers are members of a "Citizens' Committee to Save Chavez Ravine in exchange for their present ball park in the city, week to force a referendum on a City Council ordinance involving land for a Dodger ball park. Under terms of the ordinance passed last Monday, the Dodgers would get 300 acres of land in Chaves Ravine in exchange for their present ball parkin the city, Wrigley Field, when they move to Los Angeles next year. Opponents of the ordinance charged that the Chaves Ravine property is worth far more than Wrigley Field and branded the deal as a "give away." Dodger President Walter O'Malley said the club needed 300 acres of land for a 50,000-seat stadium he plans to build when the team moves to the West Coast for the 1958 season. Opponents of the transfer need nearly 52,000 signatures from voters within 30 days after the ordinance is published in order to force the referedum. * H/g/> School Football South Bend Washington 26, Fort Wayne North. 0.

IRISH UPSET ARMY, 23-21 BiMgr *

NICK PIETROSANTE (center), Notre Dame fullback, climbs over a tangled pile of Army and Notre Dame players to score a first quarter touchdown at Philadelphia’s Municipal Stadium before a crowd of 95,000. Notre Dame in renewing the ancient rivalry between the two schools, took up where they left off ten years ago by coming from behind in the final quarter to defeat a favored Army team, 23-to-21.

Cleveland And Baltimore Top Pro Gridders By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sports Writer The Baltimore Colts and Cleveland Browns, doling out points like misers counting gold pieces, hit the National Football League’s one-quarter mark today with 3-0 records and became the teams to beat for the division titles. Baltimore, "needled" by coach Weeb Ewbank when it trailed 10-7 at the half Sunday in Milwaukee, scored more than a point a minute in the last two periods to crush the Green Bay Packers, 45-17. It was the season's biggest offensive spree and the Colts have allowed their first three victims to average just 13.7 points. There was virtually a fight a minute at Cleveland as the Browns tamed the Eagles, 24-7. The Browns and Eagles have been feuding for years and seven players were tossed out of Sunday's game for fighting. The Browns have allowed their first three opponents to average only 7.3 points and are beginning to look like the team that won six straight Eastern Division titles before losing the crown to the New York Giants in 1956. New Yorx, still not showing the power that made it league champion last year, edged the Washington Redskins, 24-20. and the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Chicago Cardinals, 29-20. The Giants and Steelers (both 2-1 > trail the Browns by a game. Each has lost to Cleveland. The Detroit Lions and San Francisco Forty-Niners (both 2-1* won thrillers and are a game behind the Colts in the Western race. The Lions intercepted six of Norm Van Brocklin's passes during a 167victory over the Los Angelis Rams at Detroit and Y. A. Tittle’s pass to R. C. Owens in the last 30 seconds gave the Forty-Niners a 21-17 victory over the Bears at Chicago. " \ Attendance Lower In National Loop By UNITED PBESS The National Football League attracted 242,451'fans to its six Sunday games but has fallen almost 50,000 behind the record attendance pace it set last season. Sunday’s individual crowds: Rams - Lions at Detroit, 55,914; Browns-Eagles at Cleveland, 53,493; Forty-Niners-Bears at Chicago, 47,190; Redskins - Giants at Washington, 30,086; Steelers - Cardinals at Pittsburgh, 29,446; ColtsPackers at Milwaukee, 26,322.

Not re Dame In Win Saturday Against Army By TIM MOBIABTY United Pres# Sport# Writer They settled Army’s hash and, who knows, maybe Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish now can help settle the 1957 college football championship. Oklahoma and Michigan State, the leading contenders for the national title, unforttunately are not scheduled to meet this season. | However, both play Notre Dameon successive Saturdays next month. So if the Sooners and the Spartans remain unbeaten, those games with the Irish may decide who wears the crown this season. Notre Dame conceivably could join in the titie :*ase if the Irish continue their strong comeback, but the odds—and the scheduleare against them. Irish Idle Saturday The Irish draw an open date in their murderous schedule next Saturday — and they deserve it after that comeback 23-21 victory over Army at Philadelphia. Trailing by two touchdowns with one minute remaining in the third period, Notre Dame fought back to edge the powerful Cadets on a field goal by Monty Stickles, a third-string end from Poughkeepsie, N.Y. It was the first field goal Stickles ever attempted and it traveled 39 yards—a good boot even in the pro ranks. Oklahoma, meanwhile, spotted Texas a 7-0 lead and then bounced back to down the Longhorns, 21-7, for its 43rd straight victory while Michigan State emplpyed the rushing of Walt Kowalczyk and the passing of Ninowski to over-, power Michigan, 35-6. .' Fourth - ranked Minnesota kept pace with Michigan State in the Big Ten Conference by whipping Northwestern, 41-6, as Bobby Cox and Billy Martin each figured in two touchdowns. Except for Michigan and Army, the other top-ranked teams rolled merrily along the unbeaten highway. Winy Carlton scored on a 68ytrd run and kicked the decisive extra point as Duke edged Rice, 7*6; Auburn edged Kentucky, 6-0. on Billy Atkins’ third period TD; lowa opened defense of its Big Ten title by crushing Indiana, 47-7; Joe Francis scored twice as Oregon State blanked Idaho, 20-0, and Texas A&M, breezed to a 28-6 victory over Houston. Arkansas Edges Baylor Arkansas gained a toehold in the Southwest Conference race by edging Baylor, 20-17. Dartmouth and Princeton shared first place in the Ivy League, Auburn was tied with LSU and Mississippi for the lead in the Southeastern Conference, Duke and North Carolina shared the top rung in the Atlantic Coast Conference, VMI and The Citadel paced the Southern, while Oregon State, Oregon and Washington State each had 2-0 records in the Pacific Coast Conference.
