SPORTS. By Eddie Ash

“ | HAD planned to come back to Minnesota and finh school after the war all the time, so it really feels well to be back now,” so spoke Vic Kulbitski when asked a Minnesota Times sports writer how it felt to be ‘member of the Gophers’ football team again. Vie, who received a medical discharge from the marines due bad feet, is still having his trouble with them, but he is willing. ‘wo give football a good old try, . Rulbitski was bothered so much by his feet last year at Notre ‘Dame that one time he was thinking of giving up the sport, but “with the Irish marching for a national title, Frank Leahy, then ° “Notre Dame coach, sold Vic on the idea of staying out for football, which he did and he wound up by having a real good season. Vic was second string fullback at Notre Dame, being first understudy for Jim Mello, now regular fullback for Great Lakes. . , . Although a sub he saw plenty of action as the Irish marched through a tough schedule with but one defeat, that to Great Lakes in their last game,

Raced 80 Yards for Touchdown

KULBITSKI'S biggest thrill at Notre Dame was playing in the Navy game. , . , He really had a day for himself against the Sailors as he ran wild and scored one touchdown of 80 yards. Vic puts Frank Leahy in about the same bracket as Bernie Bierman when it comes to coaching. “You really know your stuff when you play for those guys,” said Vic. . . . He marveled at the football spirit at Notre Dame. . . . He's never seen anything like it before. @ » o 2 » = o PLAYING with Kulbitski at Notre Dame in 1943 was another former Gopher, Johnny Perko, now stationed at Quantico, Va. Vic thinks that he'll be back some day at Minnesota, too. Now that he is back Kulbitski is raring for action and hopes to really get a good start in the Ohio State game this week. -

Transfers to Change Grid Picture

THE navy is calling the college trainees after the fall exami‘nations now in progress. . .. Several college grid teams will be forced to make replacements. ... Of course, the average major ‘college squad has many reserves and the coaches have known since the start of the season what to expect along about Nov. 1. Nevertheless, it is no easy matter to replace a key player and the grid picture doubtless will be changed considerably by the time the curtain drops in late November. In Hoosierland Notre Dame and Purdue aren't likely to be as--strong as they have been in their October games. . . . Indiana university isn't touched by the transfer problem and probably will be the favorite over Purdue in the annual Hoosier classic. ... Last year Purdue won, 7 to 0.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27 (U. P) —Six perfect record football teams, more or less dominating collegiate competition thus far, are going to be hard put tonight and tbmorrow to maintain their positions in their hardest tests of the season.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Oct. 28 (U. P.).—A 20-year-old memory and the prospect of the greatest backfield duel of 1944—Buddy Young of Illinois vs. Bob Kelly of Notre Dame—will draw an estimated 70,000 fans into Memorial stadium here tomorrow to witness the Midwest's top football game.

totals better than 550 in league play.

Ohio State or Notre Dame, should be defeated it hardly would be in the nature of a major upset. Penn, facing a Navy team that failed to live up to advance notices, was rated a touchdown inferior, mainly because football experts expected the Middies to come through at last. Notre Dame, which showed certain vulnerabilities against Wisconsin, may have even more trouble against the speed-keyed Illinois eleven, but rates 8 to 5 to come through. Army’s Cadets, thus far untested, are 8 to 5 over a fast improving Duke team in New York's first major game, while Ohio State is 8 to 5 over a Minnesota team that has shown scoring capabilities.

Tulsa Faces Big Test .

Tulsa, which has traveled afar and iemained unbeaten, gets its sternest opposition of the season against its upstate neighbor, the Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys, also unbeaten and untied, but the bowlminded Hurricane eleven isa 7 to § favorite. Georgia Tech, deserving something easier after its bruising battle with Navy, faces the proloaded Georgia Pre-Flight squad tonight and on the chances for a let down, the Engineers are only a 6 to 5 choice. The top game of the week-end for service teams finds the perfectrecord Randolph Field Fliers: and Third Air Force Gremlins of Morris Field, N. C., squaring off at San Antonio tomorrow night and the odds are strictly even, with the winner likely to rate as the top military eleven in the nation.

Tennessee Over Clemson

Other perfect-record squads may have it easier. Yale is 3 to'1 to top Rochester, Wake Forest is 9 to 5 over Miami tonight, and unbeaten but tied Tennessee is 8 to 5 over Clemson. Alabama, tied but unbeaten rates 8 to 5 over Kentucky tonight. Twice tied Southern California is 3 to 1 to beat St. Mary's youngsters. In other eastern contests, Colgate is 6 to 5 over Columbia, Boston

mouth 3 to 2 to top Brown, Penn State 2 to 1 over West Virginia, Lafayette 5 to 2 over Rutgers and Holy Cross 6 to 5 over Coast Guard Academy Sunday. Purdue, titularly ambitious in the Big Ten is 7 to 5 over Michigan, which lost its potency through naval transfers, Indiana's spunky Hoosiers are 8 to 5 over Iowa and Great Lakes is a 3 to 2 over Wisconsin in games involving Big Ten teams. Iowa State and Missouri, out for Big 8ix Laurels rate 3 to 1 respectively over Kansas State and Nebraska, while Oklahoma is a one-touchdown underdog against Texas Christian in an inter-confer-ence game. The big game in the Southwest pits Texas and Rice, battling for the conference lead at even mone Southern Methodist is 6 to 5 ov Tulane in a clash between the Southwest and Southeast and Arkansas is 5 to 4 over Mississippi in another game between the same eircuits. Texas A. & M. rates 2 to 1 over North Texas Agriculture. Georgia is 6 to 5 over Louisiana State, Virginia 3 to 2 over Virginia Military, North Carolina state and William and Mary are even money, and North Carolina Pre-Flight is 3 to 2 over Jacksonville, Fla. Naval Air base. In far western games, California is 3 to 2 over the Washington Huskies, while U. C. L. A. is a touchdown favorite over Alameda Coast Guard. Denver is posted at 2 to 1 over Utah State, the Second Air Force Superbombers 5 to 2 over Norman, Okla., naval and Utah 5 to 2-over Nevada in the Rockies.

Donara Mercuri of - Brighton, Mass., said today that she never had picked a horse in her life, although she has been identified as the mysterious “Lady in Red” who reportedly bet $250,000 at Rockingham race track, Salem, N. H., this season. She explained that she had merely followed her husband's selections. ; The dark-haired woman in the maroon suit described as “highly” exaggerated the claims that she had wagered $25,000 to win $2500. She insisted that she and her husband never had bet higher than $10,000. Her husband explained that she had started with $500 two months ago, and had hit 110 show bets in a row, bringing his bankroll up to $14,000. “But now I've stopped playing, and haven't sent in a bet in two weeks,” he said.

Tex Hager to Seek Mat Victory

Tex Hager will try for victory No. 5 in the main event on the Armory wrestling card next Tuesday night where he tangles with Gil La Cross of Boston. Hager is from Eugene, Ore. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter reports that La Cross asked to meet Hager in a “showdown” and that the popular Oregon matman willingly accepted. It will be for two falls out of three, Tex first saw local action on Oct. 3 when he teamed with Rene La Belle and won over La Cross and Steve Nenoff in a tag-team bout. The match ended when Hager pinned Gil for the deciding fall and La Cross has insisted that he was “ganged” on and unable to get as sistance from his team mate. Although he scales but 180 pounds, Hager has been spotting oppenents 15 to 25 pounds. La Cross weighs 195. In recent matches, Tex has beaten Nich Billings, Angelo Mar-

The big gate attraction is the clash of Notre Dame's undefeated Irish Ramblers, rated the nation's No. 1 team, against once-beaten Illinois, the nation’s fastest team. But the Young-Kelly match and nostalgic memories threaten to overshadow the team fight.

Young, Illinois’ celebrated “swish” back, has a chance to break a record tomorrow which was set in 1924, when Red Grange scored 13 touchdowns. In 1924 and 1925, Grange's last year, the “Galloping Ghost” drew three of the largest crowds ever to pack Memorial stadium, and now a fleet Negro freshman is scheduled to draw even a larger crowd while taking a crack at Red's mark.
