Rockne Documentary On Television Sunday Rekindles Memory To Football Fans By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) — Notre Dame’s far-flung “subway alumni.” and football fans in general, will be served up a series of thrills and laughs Sunday when “The Twentieth Century” TV show presents a documentary on Knute Rockne. Composed of film clips of the great gridiron mentor, and narrated segments of Irish teams in action, the program reidndles many a memory for football buffs. “Cheer, Cheer for Old Notre Dame. . the film starts out, and moves quickly into streaked and blotchy old celluloid shots of the great Rockne’s practice sessions. ' Devoted To Humor Unlike the Pat O’Brien portrayals of the famed coach, this halfhour show is devoted to Rock’s humor arid philosophy on college football, interspersed with pulsepounding shots from spectacular games. During one practice workout l Rockne can be heard raising cain with his quarterback, Frank Leahy, when he goofs an assignment. Though he was killed in a 1931 plane crash, Rockne’s humor was recorded on thousands of feet of film. During a battle over his controversial backfield shift, he said: “If they abolish the shift I’ll change my kind of play from the intelligent, smart, slim - ankled player like the Four Horsemen I and I’ll go in for the cow-minded i hippototamus fatty type that so i many schools use now. And so, jwhen you see a football picture lof a Notre Dame team about four years from now, you’ll notice the bovine expressions and ox-knuckle ankles predomination. "And the fellow with the mustache doing his best to exudp an aroma of cunning—why, that'll be me.” Oldtimers Get Preview At a preview of the half-hour show CBS-TV invited 16 Notre Dame oldtimers to see themselves in action. Such Irish greats as Clipper Smith, George Trafton, Curly Lambeau and Leo Ward were on hand to swap experiences with teammates they hadn't seen for 30 years. Their faces were wreathed In sidlles as they listenfed tri Rockne's old dressing room pep talks, and they howled happily when the coach barked: “Hey! I guess that fellow didn’t know who you were, All-Indiana halfback Next time he comes by he won t dare run past you. Show him your clippings again.” Shots of the Four Horsemen in action caused a stir among the old-timers when it was recalled the famed backfield averaged only 157 pounds—-lighter than today’s average high school team. Rockne's concern for his players’ future was brought out, too. In one sequence he asks: ■ "After you graduate from school. Tommy, are you going to be a football coach, a bond salesman or are you going to work? IKE TO STAGE (Continued from page ing the summer crisis reassured small nations that help is avail-| able to maintain their independence. He called the Middle East situation improved even though all problems are not solved. —Termed highly speculative a report that U.S. military personnel aboard a Chinese Nationalist plane had fallen into Communist hands. —Conceded that efforts toward disarmament have moved at a snail’s pace. But he said he felt some progress was being made since the West was talking with Russia about a possible nuclear test ban and soon will start technical talks to prevent surprise attack. However, Dulles said in noting that Russia has set off two nuclear explosions since the Oct. 31 British-American test suspenion that the United States may resume testing if the Soviet explosions continue. He declined to say how long this country might wait. Paper Savings NEW YORK (UPI) — The average firm spends 91.25 checking paperwork in order to save 87 cents, according to the New York State Commerce Department.

Record Crowds Expected For Pro Football By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The National Football League, the nation’s fastest growing professional sport, figures to set a crowd record Sunday for the second straight week by attracting nearly 350,000 fans to its six games. The New York Giants, 2Mt point underdogs, expect a record home attendance of about 70,000 for their Yankee Stadium clash with the undefeated Baltimore Colts. The Browns, leading the Giants by one. game in the Eastern Division, also expect about 70,000 for their game with the Detroit Lions at Cleveland- • At Los Angeles, the Rams have erected temporary bleachers in the huge Coliseum and are preparing to seat 105,000 for their game with the San Francisco Forty-Niners. The same two clubs set an all-time NFL attendance mark of 102,368 when they met last season. The Chicago Bears, who trail the Colts by two games in the Western race, expect their usual capacity throng of 48,500 for their Wrigley Field game with the Green Bay Packers. Cards Play Redskins The Chicago Cardinals play the Redskins at Washington and the Eagles entertain the Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia in the other games. Even if these two games average only 25,000 fans, the league appears virtually certain to top the six-game record of more than 295,000 paid it set last week. New York <4-2> was a HLpoint underdog last Sunday when it upset Cleveland (5-1) and tightened the Eastern race. If the Giants upset the Colts and the Lions (1-4-1) surprise the Browms, New York and Cleveland will be tied for the Eastern lead. If the Giants win and the Bears (4-2) defeat the Packers (1-4-1), Baltimore will be only one game in front of the Bears. The Browns are favored by 9 points, the Bears by 14, the Rams by 7, the Redskins by 3 and the Eagles by I*4. Baltimore, which has a Nov. 16 date with the Bears in Chicago, faces the Giants minus two of its top players. John Unitas, the quarterback who leads the league in touchdown passes with 12, and L. G. Dupre, veteran offensive halfback, were injured during Baltimore’s 56-0 rout of the Pack-, ers last Sunday. Unitas Injured George Shaw will take over for Unitas while Jack Call and Lennie Lyles will alternate at Dupre's post. New York is in its best physical condition of the season although Frank Gifford, all-league left halfback, still is nursing a knee injury and may see little action. Cleveland is a heavy favorite although it is 0-3 in regular season competition and 1-3 in championship play against Detroit The Lions are the only team the Browns haven’t dominated since entering the NFL in -1950. Detroit handed Cleveland a 59 - 14 walloping in the 1957 championship game. One of Detroit's tasks will be stopping Jim Brown, Cleveland fullback who leads the league in rushing with 928 yards and in touchdowns with 15. The Bears, second to the Colts in scoring with 193 points, meet a Packer team that suffered the worst whipping in its 40-year history last Sunday. The Bears and Packers, who began playing when 500 was a big pro crowd, are meeting for the 80th time. , Trade in a good town — Decatur.
