Towa Cadets Favored Over

[Ohio State

By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Nov, 27.—Bernie Bierrecords he carried away from the

when he sends his Towa naval cadets

final full grid program. In other games Iowa plays Michigan at Ann Arbor; Illinois faces Camp Grant at Rockford, Ill.; Indiana opposes Fr. Knox at Louisville, and Notre Dame resumes its intersectional rivalry against Southern California at Los Angeles. When Bierman left Minnesota he took with him a record of 17 victories in a row, 12 of them were against Big Nine foes. He ran the string of games in which he was the winning coach to 21 before it was snapped by Notre Dame,

Best Records in Nation

Still intact, however, is Bierman’s skein of victories over Big Nine To the 12 he had when he left the Gophers, four more have been added this season at the expense of Northwestern, Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana. Thus Bierman has 16 triumphs in a row over conference teams. His last loss to a Big Nine team game in the semifinal game of the 1939 season when Nile Kinnick and his “iron men” mates at Iowa beat Minnesota, 13 to 9. Twice during Bierman’s regime at Minnesota his Gophers played Ohio State teams coached by Francis Schmidt. In 1939 the Bucks won, 23 to 20, but Minnesota avenged the loss the following year with a 13 to 7 decision. Ohio State and the Cadets go into tomorrow’s game with two of the best records in the nation. The Bucks have won eight out of nine starts, while the Cadets have a mark of seven triumphs and on setback. ’ Seahawks Favored

Bierman’s team rates as the favorite because it appears doubtful that youthful Paul Brown can keep his team at the peak form it flashed against Michigan to clinch the undisputed Big Nine crown a week ago. One of the outstanding stars of the Seahawks is Dick Fisher, who in 1941 was the offensive mainstay of the first team Brown coached at Ohio State. Fisher has carried the brunt of the Seahawk’s offensive all season and his duel with Gene Fekete, the Bucks’ brilliant sophomore fullback who leads the Big™Nine ground gainers, promises to be one of the contest’s highlights. Iowa can clinch third place in the final Big Nine standing by defeating Michigan. A triumph for Michigan would enable them to end in deadlock with Illinois for the third spot and push Iowa down to a .500 rating in league competition. Indiana and Illinois rate as the top-heavy choices over their service team rivals.

Bruce Smith, former Minnesota all-America, led the Sailors’ powerful offensive by scoring three touchdowns, passing for anbther and converting five points after touchdown. The Sailors: have won six consecutive games in which they have held their opponents scoreless.

Hunters caught without a license, carrying game above the legal bag limit and in possession of out-of-season game will be arrested on the spot. Any one convicted of any violation faces confiscation of his prized gun in addition to a stiff fine.

peak for this encounter. He said three of his key men would be ready for entire-period assignments for the first time since the Columbia game, Oct. 17. He emphasized that Capt. Hank Mazur, Ralph Hill and Bud Wilson were ready and sharp, as they indicated briefly in last week’s 40-7 victory over Princeton. Moreover, the entire team seemed prepped to go. Coach Blaik admitted that this team is much stronger than the outfit of 1941 which lost to Navy, 6-14, before more than 100,000 at Philadelphia’s municipal stadium. Army holds an advantage in the series with Navy, having won 22 games, lost 17 and tied 7. But Army hasn't beaten the Middies for three seasons—not since the Cadets’ 14-7 triumph in 1938.

Best Since ’38

Blaik believes this is ‘the best Army team since ’38, because it comprises so many plebes and “yearlings,” or sophomores. It is a fresh team which-functions well despite the loss of last year’s players. Only three men of the squad were among those who started last season’s game against Navy—Hill, Mazur and Wilson. But new and fresh men —Kenna, Anderson, Lombardo and Hall—have come up and may prove the deciding factor against Navy. We saw Army play last Saturday when the Cadets bowled over Princeton, 40-7. This was the same Princeton team that on Oct. 10 downed Navy, 10-0. During the ' Army-Princeton engagement, the Cadets were so superior to the Tigers that Coach Blaik used virtually his whole squad, including Anderson, Lombardo .and Hall
