THEg-Mf-0ICAN -DAIS PYt ttii I olverines, Irish Tangle In Nation's V V f '? Ia I ENCHCOMBER By BUD HENDEL Dvily Sports Editor SOUTH BEND Nov. 13.-It's Michigan and Ntre Dame here tomorrow, and not even the latest war news can steal the centerof conversation wherever groups of people are gathered. But there was one spot in the lobby of the Hotel Oliver here to- night where the talk didn't revolve around the impending struggle in picturesque Notre Dame Stadium tomorrow. Instead a group of prom- inent athletic officials were discussing the-future of football in war- time. THE PREDOMINANT OPINION among these gentlemen was that foot- ball should not be dropped from the American scene. One man in particular, whose name is being withheld by request, stated that if the gridiron sport is discontinued after this season, it will"be only because of the same athletic-haters who have been crying for the banishment of football for the last decade and more. He said, and it's worth quoting, "The heads of various colleges in this country have been trying to abolish football for a long time, and they see their opportunity now because of the war. They disguise themselves as super-patriots and in the name of a more successful prosecution of the war, they seek to cut out a great builder of Ameri- can youth and spirit. "And they won't stop after the war is over. Once they've succeeded, they'll make it tougher than ever for football to get back in the good graces of American universities. All that is needed'now for them to have their way is an announcement from one of ,the leading universities that football will not be on its program for the duration. That will send all the others flocking into line, and the grid sport will be out, and not only for the duration. Mark my words, if they once gain control, we'll never get it back. "On the otherside, if some large school would announce that it will continue football regardless of the gate losses, the puny brand of football played, and all other consequences, most of the nation's uni- versities would swing into the procession. After all, the government has told us that it wants football to continue in order to build up mor- ale and to Make American youth more competition minded and more able to face the perils of battle. "The president of the university who has the guts enough to look the dwindling receipts in the eye and exclaim that his school will not stop playing football will be doing the country and youth in general a great favor. The boys want to play football, and what's the difference how good they are as long as we give them their chance? It won't sabotage the war effort." We thought we'd pass his ideas along to you. It's the best we've heard on the subject, and quite frankly, we agree. Bucks, Illinois Battle for Lead Spot inBigTen Gophers, Iowa Meet inother Top Contest CLEVELAND, Nov. 13.- ()- Ohi State and Illinois football teams wen through nippy workouts in Cleve land's icebox-Lakefront Stadium- today to wind up preparations fo their Western Conference game which will decide tomorrow the title aspira tions of both elevens. "Ohio's got the edge on us, but we'l give a good account of ourselves,' said Coach Ray Eliot, whose Illini are tied for the league leadership with Ohio and Iowa. "Our boys are showing a lot of zip but we all know that we've got a tough afternoon ahead of us," ob- served Coach PaulBrown of Ohio. The contest is expected to attract 65,000 to 70,000 persons. -ophers eet of MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13.- ()- Minnesota, plagued all season with injuries to its ball carriers, once more will present a makeshift backfield in its attempt Saturday to stop Iowa, currently holding the Western Con- ference football lead. With Bill Daley and Herman Prick- ey, 'the left and right halves injured, Dr. George Hauser, Gopher head coach, planned to start sophomores "Red" Williams and Dick Kelley at those spots. Badgers, Wildcats Clash EVANSTON, Ill., Nov. 13.- (P)- Wisconsin's Badgers, still on the trail of the Big Ten Championship despite last week's stunning loss to Iowa, come to Dyche Stadium tomorrow for a game with Northwestern's last place Wildcats. A crowd of 35,000 is in pros- pect. Northwestern, heading for its worst season in Coach Lynn Waldorf's eight years of service here, has not won a Big Ten game and this is its last chance. Spartans Face Purdue EAST LANSING, Nov. 13.- (A)- Purdue's erstwhile crippled Boiler- makers invade Macklin Field tomor- row to face a favored but uneasy Michigan State team before an ex- pected throng of 10,000. Reports dribbling from Lafayette, Indiana, during the week indicate that Purdue will be its strongest in three weeks. At least three regulars, including shifty Kenny Smock, left halfback, are -expected to return to action after missing the Great Lakes and Iowa games. Sammy Angott NEW YORK, Nov.13.- 0P)- Little Sammy Angott, the swarthy slugger who has made a habit of upsets in his seven-year career of throwing punches, today announced his abdi- cation as World Lightweight Cham- pion and his retirement from the ring. "I've quit for good," he said flatly at his Washington, Pennsylvania home, after Abe Greene, president of the National Boxing Association, had disclosed that 27-year-old Sammy's manager, Charley Jones of Louisville, hd wired the NBA the news, which comes just a few weeks after Heavy- weight Champion Joe Louis startled the fistic world with a similar an- nouncement. Beau Jack Upsets Stolz with T.O.. in Seventh. NEW YORK, Nov. 13.- (P)- Scor- ing one of the outstanding fistic up- sets of the year, Beau Jack, a swarm- ing, charging little negro, stopped the No. 1 lightweight contender, Allie Stolz, tonight with a badly gashed left eye after seven rounds of brawling in Madison Square Garden. Michigan Batil for First Time Varsity Pits Running Ga Attack; Ramblers Rule. (Continued from Page 1) t cope with the dangerous passing arm - of sensatiorial Rambler quarterback Angelo Bertelli. The Irish, operating from both a r T - formation and a conventional - Notre Dame box, call upon Bertelli for the brunt 'of the offensive work. This season the brilliant junior has added running ability to his al- ~.ready famed pitch- ing arm, and that combined with his deadly punting makes him the best triple threat back Michigan hasfaced Angelo Bertelli this year. His poor- est passing performance occurred last week against Army when he com- pleted only five out of 20 attempts, i but he was still good enough to toss a *perfect strike to Bob Murphy in the. i end zone fr the second touchdown of the day with only 20 seconds re- maining of the game. Evans Will Not Play Chief running threat of the Irish, however, Owen "Dippy" Evans will not participate in tomorrow's fray. r Evans, leading Notre Dame scorer last year, -has been plagued by a knee ail- ment throughout the present cam- paign and will witness the struggle tomorrow from the bench. He has seen action for only two minutes this season, that coming in the Illini en- counter. At the halfbacks, sophomore Bob Livingston, who has taken Evans' place without hindering the Rambler attack any, and Pete Ashbaugh will likely draw the starting assignments. Ashbaugh's starting status was still in doubt today because of a charley horse he received in the Army clash., In case he is unable to be used, Coach Frank Leahy will undoubtedly call upon Bill Early, pint-sized right half from West Virginia. Fuback Clatt Starts for Irish Corwin Clatt, 198-pound sopho- more, will be at fullback for the Irish when the starting whistle blows here tomorrow. He was only third team line smasher when the season started but injuries to Jim Mello and Gerry Cow- hig gave him the opportunity to prove himself, which he did so well that only a two ton blast of dynamite will displace him from the starting berth. Other Irish running threats are Dick Creevy, senior left half from Chicago, who scored the first touch- down against Army last week, and Tom and Creighton Miller. The Miller brothers are sons of Harry "Red" Mil- ler who paced the Irish to their sole victory over Michigan in 1909, the score being 11 to 3. Notre Dame will start a line which outweighs Michigan's forward wall by ten pounds to the man, and the Irish bulwark is well stocked in reserves, whereas Michigan's is not. Dove at Left End7 All-American Bob Dove will be at, left end for the Ramblers, and he's one of the finest in the nation. He'd' rather play football than eat, and his 195-pound bulk will bear watching here tomorrow. Captain Bob Murphy, at the other flank, is the lightest man on the squad, weighing only 170 pounds, but his fighting leadership has held the Irish band together. Left tackle Lou Rymkus has made his 220 pounds the strong forte of the Rambler line this season by his great defensive play. At the opposite tackle will be Bob Neff, senior, who was withheld by injuries last year but who has been making up for lost time this season. Bob McBride, left guard, is the only junior in the Irish first string forward wall, while Harry Wright at the other guard is one of the out- standing linemen in the country. Wright backs up the line on defense, and he calls the plays on offense. He was regular quarterback last year and was shifted to guard to take up the les Notre Dame since 1909 Mme against Bertelli's Air Six to Five Favorites slack caused by the graduation of All- American Bernie Crimmins. The Irish haven't lost a game since he's been the field general, relieving Bertelli of the chore following the Georgia Tech defeat. Ramblers Have Ziemba at Center At center, Notre Dame will use 225- pound Wally Ziemba, who returned to action last week after a four game ' layoff because of injuries incurred in the Georgia Tech clash. A pre-season All-American, Ziemba will be basing, his bid for the honor on his showing against the Wolverines. Irish coach Frank Leahy has made it no secret that he fears the Wolve- rine's style of attack more than any other.

Most of the Michigan line and probably Captain George Ceithaml at quarterback will be called upon to resume their 60- minute duties which were relaxed in the Crimson fray.

Both Tom Kuzma and Don Robinson, stel- lar Michigan halfbacks, are recovered sufficiently for full time duty. In the Michigan backfield it will be once again, Ceithaml at quarterback, Kuzma at left half, Paul White at right half and sophomore Bob Wiese at fullback.
