During the 1940 season, he stirred the Red Birds out of what had become almost chronic lethargy and hoisted the team to third place in the National league. The following | year, under the Southworth thumb, the team moved up another notch to second place and then roared into high gear to take league pennants in 1942, 1943, and 1944. In 1942, the Cardinals won the world title from the booming New York Yankees and ‘trimmed the St. Louis Browns in like fashion in 1944. They finished second to the Chicago Cubs in the 1945 league race. 8t. Louis fans were stunned by Billy's resignation—and none less stunned * and shocked was Sam Breadon, who had known it for over a month and kept the secret.

1944-45 Season

Indianapolis bowlers are rot faring so well this season as compared the 1944-45 campaign as far as individual high scoring is concerned. A survey of this season's top performances shows that men bowlers have turned in but five 700 series as compared to a total of six one year #go. The top series last year at this time was Bob Holdeman's 742 in ithe Sport Bowl Recreation loop. At present Gene Zweissler, the ? pace-

§ ene | During last season male leaguers garnered 20 series of 700 or better, and inasmuch as they are but one behind the 1944 pace at present, it is a pretty safe prediction that the 1044-45 figure will be topped by the time the curtain drops next spring. Women bowlers, however, will have to step up their pace if they are to be near or equal the (135 600-series that were credited to their leaguers during the last campaign.

At day's end it was no contest, Davis and Blanchard never were made to look so futile, Of course, it actually wasn’t Davis and Blanchard. It was a couple of other guys named Josef O’Doakes whose duty it was to impersonate the -Cadets’ explosive onestyo punch. I am no authority on such impersonations but it seemed to me these two unidentified gents; though representing ~ Army, took keen delight in being stopped by the Irish. - Head Coach Hughie Devore was back on the job, having returned from New Jersey where he attended his mother's funeral. As he watched his charges interpret Army plays as sketched by his scouts, he appeared pleased. Stopped on Paper “It's always like this,” he said. “You can’ stop any team’s attack on paper.” Another Interested observer of Notre Dame's first preparation for Army was Devore's head scout, the large and pleasant Jack Lavelle, who was present to see for nimself that his blue prints were faithfully applied. Mr. Lavelle has scouted the Cadets in all their games. “I know ‘em like a book.” he admits. “It is a most depressing book, 100.” At that Mr, Lavelle created a mild sensation among the visiting scribes by insisting the Irish have better than an outside chance to win. “If they play up to. their Navy game you must give them a. chance to beat anybody,” he added, Answer Is “No” . “You don't rank the Irish backs with the Army backs, do you?” Mr. Lavelle was asked. “No.”

Famed Gopher Power Attack.

versity grid team concentrated on defense today in preparation for the all-important game at Minneapolis against Minnesota, which may decide whether the Hoosiers will retain their Big Ten lead. Coach Bo McMillin, who personally scouted Minnesota's 26-to-0 loss to Michigan last Saturday told his team that the Golden Gophers were a great deal stronger than the score would indicate. McMillin also pointed out that the team would have to be prepared for a strong Minnesota power-attack. During Tuesday's scrimmage session, Indiana's, first-strinig squad shared the drills with the second team.” McMillin used a backfield composed of Ben Raimondi at quarterback, George Taliaferro at left half, Pete Pihos at full and Mel Groomes and Dick Deranek, sharing the right halfback duties. The Hoosier mentor indicated that Ted Kluszewski, 205-pound second-year end, has sufficiently recovered from a knee injury to per-} mit him to play in Saturday's tussle.

It was almost as if some one had laughed while Charlie Chaplin was discours-ing-on the future of the human race. “I'm serious,” moaned the gentleman as he stroked his third chin. “I know how good Army is but remember this Irish team has been underrated all year. After all, it's still unbeaten and I notice practically everybody in the country, including the top admirals, now concede Navy was more than lucky to rescape with a 6-6 stand off. I read that the Irish played their best game of the year against Navy. How can any one say for sure they won't play an even better game against Army—and if they do you can be certain it will be a tremendous ball game. For my part I've got to see the Cadets beat ‘em before I'll believe it.” The reader must be reminded that Mr. Lavelle is an old Notre Damer himself and it would be an item for Mr. Ripley if any one ever caught him conceding defeat before it ac-
