Navy Is Expected to Find Out If the Irish Really Are Good

By JOE WILLIAMS

limes Special Writer

NEW YORK, Nov, 8 —It will be interesting to follow the operations |

of the Notre Dame and Army foothall teams tomorrow, interesting to observe what effect, if any, their recent head-on collision in Yankee

Stadium had. ; There seems to be no that the Irishers, under-rated the Cadets and as a consequence were lucky to escape with thejr lives. This kind of experience frequently has 'a stabilizing effect on a group of youngsters. They quit [reading their press notices and start playing football. If Notre Dame has the skill and strength that was claimed [for the South Bend outfit by Western critics before the Army fright, it| will be dh display | against Navy, better than average team. If Notre Dame doesn’t take charge of this game you can put it down that the Irish were over-rated from the start.

Army Should Profi

Conversely, it may be that the Cadets needed | just the kind of game they had against the [Irish to find themselves. They suddenly started to click after floundering all season. Their performance| against Notre Dame should be sti to morale and ambition. should go against Brown the vital imponderables favor. We weren't surprised to James Lynah came to the | defense of Carl G-for-Gloom Snavely in the signalling incident.- Mr. the type of gentleman wh ously stands up for his men when he feels they are right. Ohio State had charged that Snavely guarterpacked the Cornell team from the pench, implying that these tactics may have had something to do with the result of the game. Whether it was meant to. be or not, the a had all the earmarks of an alibi by a beaten team anc, Mr. Lynah didn’t hesitate to fnake known publicly his resentment in a ‘letter to Ohio State's director of athletics. This could be the being of a very warm hostility, and it probably means that it will pe a long time before Cornell and Ohio State enter into another foot-

|

ball contract. f

That Ivory League without going into any extended ’ discussion as to whether coaches call plays from the bench or not, it "does seem that Mr. Snavely is paying the penalty for success. He has put together one of the great teams of football and it just naturally follows, in- the minds of cynics, that everything isn't entirely on the up and up. You have a right to expect.a more generous attitude in the sports world, but unfortunately you don’t always find it. 1f Mr. Snavely had come up with 3 team in some other league there would have been no sniping from the sidelines. The fact that

he plays in the Ivory League, the circle of the very, very pure, is what is causing eye-brows to lift and flutter. That could be extremely silly, couldn’t it? Just because the East hasn't ruled that good foothall players no longer grow on the Atlantic Seaboard. We have done a lot of traveling in our time and it has been our .pbservation that the size and zeal of youngsters is not regulated by geographicul boundaries, What we're trying to say is that it is altogether possible for an eastern coach to put together a winning team without robbing a bank or poisoning a well. A fairer attitude would be to ad-

good coach—which he is—and that he has been lucky in getting together at one time a number of youngsters who have a flair and an enthusiasm for football and their university. That has happened in other Eastern schools in the past and we don't recall that anybody initiated a smear campaign as a result. This certainly wasn’t so when Lou Little took his little band of Columbia Lions out to the Rose Bowl and knocked off a big and powerful Stanford team. On the contrary, the football world united and hailed Mr. Little for his. coaching ability and his youngsters for their skill and spirit. We feel that Mr. Snavely and his youngsters are entitled to the same tribute. After

league and under tions. : We happen to know a number of the Cornell squad. They are fine youngsters, strong, healthy, spirited and gentlemanly. We feel sure they are good students, too. They have that look about then. know some of the fellows and ad-

Time—2 p. m. tomorrow. Place—Memorial Stadium, Bloomington. Broadcasts—WFBM, WIBC.

By J. E. O'BRIEN

Regardless of what tne invitation said, Michigan State's football team is going to a rush party tomorrow at Bloomington. In accordance with campus decorum, Ind#na juniors and sophomores will conduct the rushing, without caring especially whether the visiting Spartans enjoy themselves or not. After all, complimentary clippings and flattering figures aren’t much boon to a team that has lost four of five and failed to see its touchdown total mount. So don't expect the Hoosiers to be the perfect hosts.

Seeking Sophomore Tonic

There's no putting the finger on any one fellow who will carry the Hoosier attack. But Bo has turned to the underclassmen for the touchdown tonic I. U. needs to win. This week he promoted Bob Rhoda, former ace passer and runner for Valparaiso High School, to the varsity left halfback post. That was thought to be Hurlin’ “Hal Hursh’'s spot for keeps, but Hal doesn’t profess to be a ball-carrier.

Purdue a They'll Give Added Punch to |. U. as Spartans Invade

Rhoda apparently is, and he fires a nice bullet pass, too. Another first-string post is almost sure to go to either Earl Dolaway, possessor of triplethreat abilities, or Al Rucinski, also a sophomore and brother to Eddie, regular right end. Dale Swihart, sophomore quarterback, has heen in indiana’s starting lineup since the Iowa game, and apparently there's no|

for Jumpin’ Joe Tofil at the fullback spot. x The injury jinx has struck the Indiana camp and laid low Archie Harris, senior end; Gene White, guard, and Harold (Red) Zimmer, Indiana’s chief ground gainer to date. There's no estimating how much action each will see. McMillin, however, is expected to start Mike Dumke at left end to replace Harris and Al Bragalone in White's position.

Bachman Frets

Although Coach Charley Bachman professes to be fretting over tomorrow's game and moaning that his Spartan line will be outweighed 15 pounds to the man, the word from Lansing has been that he was particularly happy over the blocking of the linemen and the speed of the backfield in last week's 23-0_victory over Kansas State. Recent backfield juggling has given the Spartans added kicking and passing power. Walter Ball was moved to left half, leaving the right halfback post open to Walter Pawlowski, one of the best re=-| ceivers on the squad. Bali, along! with Fullback Maro Miller, is be-| ing counted on for the Kicking, ! while Wy Davis and 11s twin! brother Will, at quarterback, do the' tossing. Chuck Carey, 190-pounder, also stands ready for halfback service. His weight makes him valuable on defense, and he also runs when the Spartans are on attack. The Spartans were to take a final. workout in Butler’s half-sau-cer this afternoon, bedding down this evening at the Indianapolis Athletic Club before going on to Bloomington in the morning. Along with the team will come Michigan State's band to swap tunes with Indiana's Marching Hundred and the co-ed group. So! if this Dads’ and High School Day | game can't be a victorious one for | Indiana, it surely should be a noisy | one. :

BALTIMORE, Md. Nov. 8.—Still the boxoffice’s best in football, Notre Dame will play to 62,315 fans and the S. R. O. sign in Municipal Stadium tomorrow. The occasion will be the Irish’s annual game with Navy. Although the Middies have invited their guests to dinner at Annapolis after the game, Coach Elmer Layden has made it plain to his squad that the dinner invitation does not extend through Saturday's game.

“We have a tough assignment on our hands,’ said Elmer, “and if any repetition of the Army game occurs we are going to be two or three touchdowns behind when dinner time rolls around.” Navy will be especially durable at tackle tomorrow and the Irish running attack is going to find the going real rough, especially if tackles and ends continue guessing like they did against the Army. The Middies’ backfield talent is equally as potent. Their ace is triple-threat William Busik, whose tosses have accounted for 392 yards this season. Hard-hitting Clifford Lenz, the other halfback, likes to run low and hard—and often. Although they lost, 20-0, to .Penn last week, the Middies have only their own blunders to blame. They

Butler Defends Its State Title as Ball State Threatens to Put Bulldogs Out of Race

PROBABLE LINEUPS BUTLER BALL STATE Crawford .... Rabold

Time—1:30 p. m. tomorrow. Place—Butler Bowl. Broadcast—WLBC (Muncie).

Ball State's Cardinals, who never

have scored a major athletic victory over Butler University, hope to feather their own nest, tomorrow afternoon, when they meet the Bulldogs in the Bowl at 1:30 o'clock. Meanwhile, Butler is pointing for a victory to gain at least a tie for its seventh consecutive Indiana College Conference title. Dads’ Day and Boy Scout Day will be observed tomorrow by the university. Wearing their sons’ jersey numbers, fathers of Butler grid players will sit on a special sideline bench. Several hun-

outrushed, outpassed and outdowned the Pennsylvanias, were inside the 30-yard line seven times and the 25-yard. stripe four times, and even got as close as the four. Navy’s gridders haven't believed a word they read about Notre Dame lacking fire in the 7-0 victory over Army. Coach Swede Larson sent his boys through two lengthy scrimmages this week and the whole team appeared to be at its physical peak for the game. Two new faces are likely to be in the Notre Dame starting lineup, Bernie Crimmins of Louisville, Ky., has been used in the No. 1 fullback spot and John Lanahan as firststring center this week and both showed well, Layden was to give his machine a final tuneup in Grifith Stadium at Washington this afternoon.

dred Scauts will participate in a pre-game flag raising ceremony. - Both teams concluded prepara-

t y tions this afternoon for the league

battle. Coach John Magnabosco of

n | Ball State announced that he would

start an all-Indiana team including nine lettermen. His first string lineup is the product of Indiana high schools.

Hinkle ‘ probably will start the same team he used a week ago with his offensive built around Ralph (Red) Swager, little senior halfback. Hinkle’s reserve power has been lessened by the injury of Joe Guenel, a sophomore halfbdck who received a minor jaw fracture in last week's game after he had reported the preceding day. Oscar Hillring, reserve junior tackle, is handicapped by a sty over his right eye.

Magnabosco, likewise, 1s vesting all his punch in a little halfback, Jimmy Phend from Goshen, and Garland Frazier, a 190-pound driving fullback from Bicknell. Defense, both ground and aerial, has been Hinkle’s major problem ali

season. In seven games, the Bulldogs have had 99 points *scored against them, 80 more than opponents registered all last season. As a result, the Butler mentor drilled his varsity squad against Ball State formations until dark yesterday. Ball State will come to the Bowl with a record of three victories, two losses and one tie. Manchester, currently co-sharing the conference leadership with Butler, is ithe only state foe boasting of a victory over the Cardinals. And that was a 7 to 6 affair. Butler's conference: decisions have been scored against St. Joseph, Wabash and DePauw. Pur-

due, Xavier and Washington University of St. Louis hold ‘victories over the Bulldogs while Ohio University was played to a T to 7 tie. Ball State literally handed the 1939 state title to Butler when they whipped ‘Manchester. Tomorrow,

the Cardinals can wreck. all Blue and White hopes for the title.

Their morale bolstered by last week’s victory over Iowa and the return of Mike Byelene to unitorm, the Boilermakers are figured to give the Rams a busy afternoon at the Polo Grounds. N Coach Mal.
