 The three, on large bob sled, had started from Seventh Street to speed down Gold Street, which, with it's smooth and hardened sur face, is lightning fast. c U
 Turned to One Side

 OF INTEREST

 Call 1t Political Maneuver

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31- The news of the threatened break of the independent Republicans in the Northwest from the Republi- can Party next year is naturally drawing interest from party leaders throughout the country. While it furnishes the topic of greatest con- cern just now among Republicans, neither President Hoover nor Sena- tor Simeon D. Fess, Chairman of the Republican National Commit tee, are commenting on the situa- ton.
 There is an inclination among the regular Republican leaders to scout the importance of the Third Party talk and to regard it as Q political maneuver, coming, as it does, so early in the Presidential race.

 Seven packages were received but only three exploded. The packages, it has been learned, were mailed by two men in what investigators suspect is an anti-Fascist plot !

 Investigators said it is believed the packages were intended for prominent Italian Americans in Pittsburgh, New York and Balti- more. The addresses on the pack ages are misspelled and the authori- ties are having a hard time to determine just to whom they were intended for.

MACK AND NENA CURV|CH READY FOR HOT FIGHT
Main Eventers on Legion Card Tonight Are in
 Tiptop Condition

PICK THE WINNERS


 . Freddy Mack vs. Nena Cur . vich. - Six rounds-welter- . . weights. Sammy Nelson vs. Slugger . Weaver-Six rounds-semi- . final. Philip Joseph vs. Tony Garcia . six rounds-special event. . Louis Nabalis vs. Billy Jacks Q -four rounds. Rudy Del Monte vs. Pete Ia . . laka-four rounds.
 
 Freddy Mack and Nena Gurvich in the main event of the New Years Eve smoker staged tonight at the A. B. Hall arena by the American Legion, are expected to put on a battle that for speed and strength of attack has seldom Ii ever had an equal in this city.
 The lads are almost perfectly matched as far as size, weight, and general build are concerned. They are true welters and are trained to just the right pitch
 Both In Fine Shape
 Both lads are in great shape and have conditioned so as to be at the peak of form for the scrap. Neither suffered any injury in their train ing. It ought to bea battle long to be remembered.
 From the point of local interest the semi-final match that bring' Sammy Nelson and Slugger Wea- yer together ranks alongside tht nightcap. Sammy is the heavier ot the two boys, but Weaver is ran- gier and is credited with being the superior boxer. Sammy is tht harder hitter and may have some thing in reserve for the Slugger. Usually Nelson takes his fight: casually, and does his training by proxy. Not so this time. He ha: worked faithfully and will entel the ring in shape to fight 1( rounds instead of the scheduled six Weaver, too, is in fine form ane will set pace that will keep Sam my dizzy if he tries to follow it.
 Joseph Fights Garcia
 The special event, the first O. three -rounders, brings twt speed merchants together wher Philip Joseph, one of the cleveres Indian bantam son the Channel takes on a little brown brother named Tony Garcia. The two boy: tip the beam at 128 pounds.
 Louis Nabalis, scrappy little Fill pino who is willing to fight anyone under the welterweight class al though he has to put sash weight in each pocket to make the light weight grade, has been matched

IRISH AFTER
new RECORD FOR
STRAIGHT WINS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 5. W.P)-The out
standing football game of the week,
and perhaps of the year, will bring
together Notre Dame and North
western arch enemies of the grid
iron, at Soldier Field Saturday.
A crowd of 100000 IS expected to
pack Chicago's big lake front sta
dunn for this game, which may
send the winner on to the national
championship as it did year ago.
Both Notre Dame and Northwest
ern have been pointing towards this
battle since the opening of practice
three weeks ago and indicated in
their first games last week that they
apparently are as formidable as in
1880.
Notre Dame, using three teams.
showed plenty of power and speed
in defeating good Indiana eleven,
$50, and scoring its twentieth
straight football victory The pres
ent string ties the all time winning
streak made in 19l9-29-21, and if
Notre Dame wins from Northwest
ern it will be a new record for the
fighting Irish.
Obviously covering up thei 7
strength after scoring three touch
downs in the first 10 minutes of
play, the Northwestern Wildcats
won their opening game from a
powerful Nebraska team, 1877, a
tumble and two forward passes
netted Nebraska its touchdown.
Notre Dame hasn't located anoth-
er Frank Carideo as yet, but they
uncovered trio of slashing backs
to go with Marchy Schwartz. They
are Joe Scheeketski, Carl Cronin and
Mike koken. Scheeketski, a sub
stitute for Marty Brill last year,
staged a 70 yard run for Notre
Danes first score. Cronin reeled
off 34-yard touchdown run.
