IRISH So OVER
Northwestern

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Nov. 10
GN.SD.-The Fighting Irish of
Notre Dame, victorious in seven
straight starts this year, today
faced the semifinal hurdle in
their path to the national foot
ball championship when they met
Northwestern.
A crowd of 48,500 braved win
try winds to jam every inch of
space in Dyche Stadium here for
this 18th renewal of a 49-year-old
rivalry.
Coach Elmer Layden brought
from South Bend a squad which
is hailed as the greatest Notre
Dame team since Knute Rockne's
national champions of 1929 and
1880, and possibly the greatest
team in Notre Dame history.
Against this fast, powerful and
rugged squad, Coach Lynn Wal
dorf of Northwestern matches a
tough and husky team, which has
lost one game and tied two Of its
first seven.
Betting odds favored the Irish
at S to 2.
Though Northwestern has big,
fast men and plenty of reserves,
the Wildcats cannot match the
speed Of the Notre Dame back
field. And all year the Wildcats
have proved vulnerable to forward
passes-a weapon the Irish use
to especially good effect.

HARVARD CHOICE.
TO BEAT YALE.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 10 G.N.S0.
Yale and Harvard today renew a
football rivalry started SO years
ago. Harvard won that first game
and is a strong favorite to win
today.
Harvard's share of the first
game was $40. It probably will
be more than $4,000 today.
There was a time when the
Harvard-Yale classic was "the
football game of the year" That
was when they and Princeton had
most of the football players.
Yale has had a poor season. 1t

Penn, Michigan. Dartmouth and

BeIosco Calls
Back Hit

So many requests have been
received by the Belasco Theater,
and so great has been the insist
ence for a continuation of the
engagement of Grand Illu-
sion," that it has arranged to
reopen Jean Renoir's brilliant
motion picture on November 7.
After running for almost three
solid weeks, the BelaSco was
compelled to cut short the sue
cessful run of the film because
of a conflicting previous book
ing. Grand Illusion" which
has been widely acclaimed
wherever it has been shown, will
remain for a limited engage
ment Of one week only.
Grand Illusion" which stars
four brilliant international play
ers, has been patterned after
the film of the future. 1t is not
consciously realistic, but is in
tensely real. Renoir, in direct
ing it, has demonstrated clearly
his heritage as the son of Pierre
Renoir, famous French painter.
The characters are treated
throughout as human beings;
their actions and reactions are
living experiences, not merely
dramatic adventures.
