' Regardless of the method of reckoning employed the Iowa ‘Cadets rate ‘as the pronounced favorite over Notre Dame. The Cadets greatest edge is in their superior reserve strength. That has been an important factor in the Seahawks’ triumphs over Kansas, Northwestern, Minnesota and Michigan thus far. Notre Dame’s one chance of victory appears to, be the accurate passing of Angelo Bertilll. Bertilli showed he was back at peak form last week when he completed 14 out of 20 tossed as the Irish downed Stanford, 27 to 0.

Passing Duel The game easily could develop

into a passing duel between Bertelli and Dick Fisher of the Cadets.

‘| Fisher, former Ohio State star, has

the better aerial record for the season. The Seahawk halfback has completed 18 out of 29 passes for a gain of 370 yards as against 2¢ completions in 49 attempts for 882 yards by Bertelli. Fisher has had only one of his tosses intercepted, while six of Bertelli’s have been caught by opponents. Notre Dame again will be under

Both come from Youngstown and both are captains of their Fespettive elevens, Tulane Coach Monk Simons was quoted as saying that his charges were going to take care of Sinkwich very carefully. His use :of words—“we are going to pop him” —brought ‘some sharp retorts from bulldog supporters. Simons explained, later, however, that the word “pop” in his repertoire didn’t allude to fisticuffs or such, as some might think, but was his descriptive. word for good, hard football,
