Dispatch to The Star.

A NNAPOLIS. November 3-In
~ spite OF the interest which at
~ taches to the games with Notre
Dame and Harvard in them
selves, the Navy is thinking of those
contests largely in terms of the Army
game.
Navy people would like to win against
Notre Dame, which their team has de-
feated but twice in nine tries, and
would be delighted to triumph over
Harvard in the first game played
with it since 1908, but it wants VIC
tories still more because it needs them
to have much of a chance to win from
the Army.
That is the particular reason why
the Navy coaches and players are get
ting to work this week in a spirit OF
grim determination to break into the
winning column. and do it right away
No Changes Planned.
NO CHANGES in the team or sys-
tenn of playing is anticipated un-
less forced by injuries. The first-choice
team is now well settled and it knows
enough foot ball to be dangerous to
any opponent, but its equipment of
plays will be gradually increased and
every effort made to get them letter
perfect.
One thing that is being done is the
grooming of possible substitutes for
John Miller, who has been playing
such a good game at center. Miller
was injured in the Princeton game
when the end of one of the line sticks
punctured his hand and did not play
at all against Pennsylvania.
1t is hoped that Miller will be able
to play against Notre Dame, but it is
doubtful. Dick Fincher, plebe center
two years ago. and AL Wallace, a
plebe tackle last season, are the chief
change players in the position.
Coaches are pleased with the work
Of Ken Hysong at tackle. He came
up from the plebe team this year and
is the leading alternate to Ed Hessel
at right tackle. On the other side,
Duke Ferrara and Frank Lynch are
neck and neck, with Ben Jarvis and
Karl Van Meter, also plebes last year,
forming another strong pair.

~ heavy smash on the chin and
got more headlines than the Detroit
contender for the title. Brescia was
figured a soft one for Louis. The
fact that he was knocked out in

count with those who hailed the Ar

Brescia's ability has been stated.
Frankie Connolly is six-round

him to secure engagement on big
shows, and to make the matter worse
instead of better, by elevating him
into a star bout, he was beaten by
Brescia. Pitting this pair as the

n n INNEAPOLIS, November 81
M The referees decision penal
izing Minnesota for unneces-
= sary roughness and thus
putting Northwestern in position to
score a winning touchdown over the

tionable today by Coach Bernie Bier
man.
The Gopher mentor said motion
pictures OF the game, which the
Wildcats won. 6 to 0, and ended
Minnesota's victory string at 81, re-
vealed the foul called on Tackle Ed
Widseth was not a serious breach
OF the rules"
Referee John Getchen imposed the
penalty. 1t put the ball on the I-yard
line and Northwestern subsequently
scored.
THE pictures do not show def
nitely just exactly what happened"
said Bierman. But after carefully
studying them am convinced that
Widseth's foul certainly was not a
serious breach of the rules.
Blows Couldn't Have Hurt.
HE pictures show that Widseth's
arm came up and then down,
but it is impossible to determine
whether he was slapping the ball
carrier on the shoulder, showing him
down or just slipping off balance.
Certainly, they do show that in
the off-balance position he was in
at the time, even had he lost his
temper. he could have slugged all day
without hurting any one"
Bierman declared the pictures
showed plainly that the 5-yard pen
atty against Charlie Schultz, Mime
sofa guard, for charging the North
western center late in the last period
near midf1eld after the touchdown
had been scored was definitely un-
deserved"

was Damski's retort.
Brescia's manager. Luigi Soresi,
thought differently when the Louis
match was offered. The massacre
failed to teach him a lesson. He
accepts Connolly as though the
Argentine was the victor over Louis.
The Boston Irishman is plenty tough
and carries plenty of force in his
blows. The licking Louis administered
does not show any outward effect on
Brescia. How much good it did the
big, good-looking Argentine will be
proven tomorrow evening when Con-
nelly goes to work on him. If the
fight does not ruin Jorge Brescia
it will be long time before he gets
over the effects Of the hammering.
