'IRISH' RULE 5-3 GRID FAvORITES
 OVER TROJANS
Southern Cal Spotted 2 Points as Even Money

 Los Angeles, Dec. 2-UP)-You could have turned back the calendar a full eight years today and except for the automobiles, and the wom- ems hats, the citizens of Los Angeles wouldn't even have noticed it.
 Because for the first time in that many years, an undefeated, united Notre Dame team is coming to town to play University of Southern California eleven that is nobody's pushoyer. Los Angeles again had a one-track mind-football.
 Natural
 Not just football of an aged-in- wood, extra-thick holiday brand. On one side is the leading claimant for the mythical national champion ship, an Irish machine that has rfd- den over eight powerful opponents without a setback. On the other is a tough outfit which already has the western bid to the Rose Bowl tucked away in cold storage.
 Add to that a 13-year-old rivalry that easily ranks as one of Americas $ most intriguing and you have some idea of the football party that will be held before 95,000 or more paying guests in Memorial Coliseum tomor- row. It's terrific in the best Holly wood tradition.
 First Notre Dame was favored lO-7, then 8-5, and then 5-3, or seven points and even. Even rabid Angeleons, notoriously biased on the subject of football, looked for the strongest Notre Dame team since the days of the late Knute Rockne to take home the marbles.
 Halfback Hurt
 In Tucson, Ariz., the Irish drilled on thrusts of tackle and on long passes, the two offensive weapons which have enabled them to shake men loose for long touchdown gall lopS in most of their games this year.
 A sharp blow was struck at the Irish when Halfback Ben Sheriden collided with teammate while run- ming down under one of the passes, injuring his shoulder. Coach Elmer Layden was undetermined as to whether Sheridan could play.
 At use, where passing was &C., cented in 8 signal drill, another key

BIZ HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, December 2. = CUP)- Benny Friedman, one of the great football players of all time, is happy today because at last he is coaching a team that has some real stars on it.
 Tomorrow he sends that team-a combination of all-stars from New York City schools - against the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Professional League in charity game for the benefit of Catholic, Jewish and Protestant refugees from Europe.
 Friedman, forward-passin pio- neer when he played quarterback for Michigan in 1924-25-26, has been coaching at City College of New York since 1884. Before that he was backfield coach at Yale for year, a professional player and coach of the Dodgers.
 But never did he have such an array of talent playing for him as he will tomorrow. At City College he freqeuntly had squads that contained only 13 or IA regulars. Today he gleefully talked of substituting five and six men at a time so he can keep Fordham, Columbia, Manhat- tan, c. c. N. Y. and N. Y. U. men together on the field.
 Friedman has been working with his dream team" only since Sunday and will have but 12 plays tomorrow. But some of them are so complicated that writers watching the practice session had to ask Friedman how many men handled the ball on some of the formations.
 In the lineup are the best local players of 1888, headed by Colum- bias great passing star, Sid Luck man, and including five captain - Mike Kochhel, Fordham; Phil Swia- don, N. Y. U., Jerry Stein, c. c. N. Y, Al Caruso, Manhattan, and Jack Wright, Columbia.
 The Dodgers, who finished their regular National League season on Thanksgiving, hope to win the game in order to support the professional theory that a good paid team can, when it is in shape after a hard season, lick any college team - regular or all-star.
 Friedman's big theory is the unus- ual spirit which the team possesses.
 At a dinner the other night" Friedman said, "a couple of our players made speeches and said they thought the Dodgers were pretty terrible and that the whole all-Star team felt the same way. know what happens when the pros get mad so I tried to hush them up. But then another player gets up, says the same thing and then adds that Friedman agrees with the players

Chicago, Dec. D. UP) - Ernie Meyers will be back as head coach of the Chicago Cardinals profassion- al football team next year.

Meyers, who played with and coached the Cardinals from 1929 to 1882, has been backf1eld men, tor at Iowa for the last two years, but was caught in the shakeup that sent Eddie Anderson of Holy Cross in to succeed Irl Tubbs.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.

WHILE the era of promiscuous
psychic bidding has long since
passed there is one psychic that is still
used very successfully by good players
namely, the third hand bid for lead.
While the third-hand lead-directing
bid is lacking in the requisite high
card values, we do not consider it en1
tirely a psychic, since it is used mainI
to inform partner of the best open
contract. This bid should be made
only in third position on suit with
tops" when not vulnerable. While
an intelligent partner will recognize
this bid for what it is worth, We fear
that the West player in this hand
cannot be placed in this category.
West, dealer.

he decided to stick by his guns, fig

He opened the jack Of clubs, and since

been defeated by spade opening and

Economic Axis Extending From North Sea +
To Black Sea Has Been Created

strucuon Of France" Hitler writes,
merely . means Of being able to
give our people at last = possibility
of expansion at another point" I"
That point lies to the east. Hitler
is characteristic Of his race and in
the stream Of the great German ex-
pansionists.
When he took Austria he was OK
ecuting Alfred Naumann's scheme
for Mitteleuropa and with the con-
quest of Czecho-S -Slovakia he was
started eastward with the Hohen-
zollern scheme of Berlin -Bagdad.
In his tactics, as he plays East
against West, British colonies against
French allies, the Russian Ukraine
against the bombing OF London and
Paris, Hitler has perfected the tech
nique of Frederick and Bismarck
dividing and isolating his foes, de-
stroying them singly.
His Balkan axis has world sig
nificance as we'll. Maxi expansion
is not to be arrested with hegemony
over the European continent. With
southeastern Europe as a vast Ger
man colony Berlin will be strong
enough at last to struggle for
world markets. The Nazi tactics
with which he has won there against
Britain and France will be the same
tactics pursued from now on in Gen.
trail and South America against the
United States.
He needed the Berlin-R Rome axis
to achieve the Berlin Balkan axis.
He already has the Japanese fleet
and he may come to terms yet with
the British fleet. He will challenge
the supremacy of the United States
In this hemisphere. 1t is inevitable.
