Things hit bottom in 1943 when the Lion went through an eight game schedule and lost every one, and they weren’t much better last year. The Lions started out with two victories in 1944, then dropped six in row. Highlight game throughout the nation is at Yankee stadium Sat urday when Army meets Notre Dame. The Cadets were installed over the week end as 20 point fav- orites, but in view of their 59 to victory over the Irish last year it is the consensus that Notre Dame is pointing for this contest as fol no other.
