President Roosevelt has been
punctilious to ask Congress for such
power as he is exercising, and has
never asked until he was assured in
advance that the powers would be
granted. And, up to now, there
has been no suggestion of disregard
ing the Constitutional provision
that the military shall always be
subordinate to the civil power of
the Government. Incidentally, 10
is that provision in the Constitution
that prevents the President from
naming an Army officer as Secre-
tary of War a Navy officer as Sec
rotary of the Navy.

Ball State Indiana State

For a while it looked like poor
quarterbacking might cost Ball
State a victory. The Cardinals took
a six-point lead in the first half
against Indiana State when Sutton
passed to Cole for thirty-five yards
and Barley plunged over from the
three-yard line. The Cardinals held
the margin through the third
period, but lost it in the fourth
when, instead of kicking from their
own ten-yard line, they tried three
plays. Carr fumbled as he tried to
punt on fourth down and Indiana
State took the ball. BibbS. Syca-

yards in two plays to score.

Navy-NOtre Dame

The report of the Navy-Irish
game is one of those statistical trag-
edies as far as Hoosier fans are con-
cerned. The South Blenders excelled
in everything but scoring and de-
Tense.
Coach Elmer Laydens boys
pounded out 2O6 yards in running
attack that. represented fourteen
first downs against forty-seven
yards for the Navy and three first
downs. The Irish, who tailed nine
ty-three yards on four of sixteen
forward passes, and scored their
touchdown with one Of them, Slight
ly shaded the Navy in that respect,
too, because Navy gained seventy
one yards with seven completed
losses of eleven attempted.
In punting the Navy held slight
edge, averaging 34.4 yards to 32.5
for the Irish. On defense the sea-
men had an edge that told, because
they mustered the power to stop the
boys of Notre Dame when it APP
peared they were headed for the
goal line.
Early in the game the trusty toe
of Slade Cutter gave the Middies a
80 lead with a goal from placement
that ended scoring until the last two
minutes of play. Burns, Navy guard,
broke through and blocked one OF
Bill Shakespeare's punts and recov-
cred it on the Irish 37-yard line.
Berries tossed a pass to Dornin, who
reached the Irish 11-yard stripe and
from there Cutter booted the field
goal.
Time and again through the Sec
ond, third and practically all of the
fourth quarter the gallant, fighting
little Navy eleven, undefeated in six
games this season, battled deSper-
ately to hold the three-point mar
gin. Driven back deep into its own
territory by first downs reeled off by
the pile driving Don Elser, the
shifty Andy Pilney or the rambling
Mink Melinkovich, the Navy de-
tense would suddenly rise to the oc-
casion. take the ball on downs and
Bill Clark would punt it out of i'm
mediate danger.
Then, as numerous of the $1,000
watched the game gradually become
ra eyed and began leaving for home
the struggle suddenly became filled
with thrills. Bud Bonar passed
from his own 40, hoping to take the
bal! irto Navy territory and score
The oval fell into the hands OF
Clark and before Notre Dame
hauled him down he had reached
the Irish 7-yard line. Taxing to the
sideline on the next play, Berries
suddenly reversed and sent pass
to the opposite side where Dornir
hauled it in for touchdown. Dick
Bull came in to place-kick the extra
point.
With the Irish fighting like wild
men, Andy Pilney took the next
Navy kickoff, darted over to the
sideline, where he was surrounded BY
several interferers, and ran seventy
yards before he was brought down
by Berries on the Navy 20. With
seconds left, Andy dropped back ano
sent pass to Notre Danes big sut
end, Marty Peters, who scored g
touchdown. The try for point was
missed. 1t was too late for the
Irish to score again, but imagine
the thrills packed into those final
few seconds.

Wabash Franklin

Wabash climaxed its preparation
for the all-important De Paw RI
valry tilt at Greencastle next Satur-
day by winning from Franklin at
Charlottesville. The Grizzlies held
Pete Vaughan's Little Giants score
less in the first half. Wabash
played 90 tie games with Butler
and Evansville, but Riggs, a reserve
half back broke the chain of ten
zero quarters of Wabash with touch
downs in the third and fourth quar-
tiers that meant victory.
A tumble by McCarty as the
Franklin offense reached the Wa
bash 17-yard line was recovered by
Stierwalt and on the first play
Riggs dashed eighty-three yards as
his team mates blocked out all
challenging tacklers. Mueller kicked
the extra point.
The wabash march for a second
marker stopped once on the Is
yard line, but on another occasion
the Little Giants started in mid
field and worked a triple pass for
long gain and Riggs skirted end
for another marker.

Lions and Bears
Remain Unbeaten
Detroit Club Has Narrow
Escape Against Cards.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Undefeated,
the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears
are roaring down the stretch still
deadlocked for the lead in the west
ern division of the National Pro-
fessional Football League.
The New York Giants cling with
a firrner hold to the top rung in the
eastern division as result of VIC
tory yesterday over the Green Bay
Packers, while the second place Bos-
ton Red Skins we're losing to the
Bears.
Bill Hewitt caught two touch
down passes and Bronko Nagurski
led march and scored on plunge
as the Bears whipped the Red Skins,
81 to 0, to preserve clean record
of nine straight, keeping pace with
the Lions, who won, but got a close
call, II to IS, against the Chicago
Cardinals.
The st. Louis Gunners, who last
week took over the Cincinnati fran
chise and position at the bottom of
the western division standings with
eight straight defeats, inaugurated
their entry with a 6-to-0 victory
over Pittsburgh.
Ralph Kercheval kicked a field
goal in the opening period and ran
forty yards for a touchdown in the
second quarter after taking a pass
as the Brooklyn Dodgers whipped

l0Wa-Purdue

1t came near being a similar story
for Purdue as Duane PurviS and
Jim Carter, frequently termed the
Boilermaker touchdown twins, "
piled up twenty-six first downs, but
no touchdowns. The HawkeyeS were
equal to the occasion when it came
to stopping the Purdue running at
tack near goal. About that time
Noble Kizer tossed another pair of
twins, the two Franks, at the Iowa
boys and a passing attack with
Haas and Loebs on the receiving end
netted two touchdowns.
Iowa scored first. early in the Sec
ond quarter when Dick Crayne
passed from his own twenty 10 ia
koubek and he raced to the Purdue
eleven. Crayne then followed per-
feet interference for a touchdown
Duplicating the same feat. Purvis
and John Drake smashed the Hawk
eye line for seventy yards. When
running plays failed, Purvis passed
10 Loebs in the end zone and the
count was tied as both Russ Fisher

extra points.

EarIham-De Paw

Earlham played a bangup game,
threatened with passes and once
reached De Pauw's 8-yard line, but
a steady De Paw machine led by
stalwart Bob Fribley hammered out
a touchdown each quarter to down
the Quakers, 300. A poor punt in
the first quarter from behind the
goal line gave De Paw the ball
on the 10-yard stripe and Fribley
dashed over. Hickman blocked a
kick and ran to the Earlham 6 from
where it was easy for Fribley to
score again. Pierce added the extra
point to lead 1870 at half time. A
pass, Fribley to Hickman, and a
thirty-f1ve yard run registered the
third Tiger marker. Another toss,
Bishop to Bailey, was good for the
final one. Kinnally drop-kicked the
extra point.

For forty-eight minutes, divided
into four twelve-minute quarters,
the spirited 12-to-14-year-old war
riors battled back and forth on the
field, and when the final gun cracked
Holy Trinity had battered out a 200
decision. Benjek, Holy Trinity full
back, followed stiff blocking forma-
lions, amazingly executed in big
time" style, to score three touch
downs, and the winners added two
points on a safety when a punt was
downed behind the st. Anthony goal
line.
Al G.. Feeney, former Notre Dame
star, now state police chief, was on

the youngsters an inspirational grid

Three penalties we're imposed by
