New York, November 2-(UP)-
Football hits the November payoff
stretch today-the final month Of
the season on which coaching jobs,
conference championships, ALL
America hopes, perfect records and
bowl bids are riding.
The undefeated, united clubs will
be under more and more strain,
and elevens away to poor start
will be trying all the harder to SAL
wage some glory by kayoing one Of
the upper crust. When so-called
November teams hit their stride, the
Monday morning quarterbacks be-
gin to moan.
One of the 16 perfect record teams
is bound to fall and another is
bound to survive today. The certain
casualty will come In the North
western Minnesota game at Evans
ton, only game in the nation In
volving two undefeated, united
clubs. The survivor will be Michi-
gan, which does not play.
For years Notre Dame-Ar has
been the No. / game Of its partic-
ular Saturday, but todays meeting
the 9th of the series-is no more
than a breather for the powerful
South Bend outfit. So good that
Elmer Layden has used his first
string but total of 65 minutes in
overpowering four opponents, Notre
Dame can call its own shots against
one of the weakest elevens In West
Point history, team that has been
able to win but one game, and that
by single point over little Will
liams. Nevertheless, New York's
subway alumni will send the games
attendance soaring above 10000
