  65, 5,OOOSee Notre Dame Defeat HopIess Navy Eleven, 28 to O big gun, tearing of big gains until he finally plunged across from the 2-yard line. Navy made its best showing in the third period, outplaying the Ram blers most of the time. After kick ing of and regaining the ball on a punt by Lujack on their 81, the Mid die tore the Irish line apart until they lacked only a yard for score. That yard was more. however, than they could make. Williams hit off Notre Danes right tackle and was an inch or so shy. Clipping Nullifies Run.

  Big Game This Week; Army, Navy NEW YORK, Nov 4-They’ll play the usual quota of college foot ball games on the white-striped fields around the ‘ctuntry this week but to the average fan the only thing that matters will be the National Championship struggle between Army and Notre Dame. Not since the Titanic struck the iceberg has a head-on collision at traeted as much attention as this important clash bringing the na- tion’s two outstanding gridiron powers face to face at New Works Yankee Stadium on Saturday af- tenoon. These two outfits still remain unbeaten and untied-a condition shared only by UCLA and Georgia among all the major elevens in the land. Warm Up Both Of them warmed up to the battle of the year by scoring shut out victories last weekend week end in which Pennsylvania and Harvard were hauled rudely out of the all-victorious class and such once-tied team as Northwestern, North Carolina and Oregon ab- sorbed their first defeats. Metre Dame whipped Navy 28–⁠0 for it’s fifth triumph of the year. In running over Illinois, Pittsburgh. Purdue, Iowa and Navy, the Irish have piled up TIT points while holding these worthy opponents to total of Is.

Mere Than Sollout A crowd of some 80,000 will squeeze into the park that Babe Ruth’s bat built to see the seasons top attraction, and anyone calling it a sellout would be guilty of understatement. Officials say at least million tickets could be sold at S480 a copy if they had the seats. Pennsylvania, upset by Prince ton l7-l4, also plays in New York, against Columbia, which was sur- prised by Cornell 12–⁠0 Harvard, clipped by Rutgers l3–⁠0, returns to Ivy League play where it now tops the standings to invade Dart mouth.
