The Tentative Program.
The program may shape up some
thing like this:

Savold definitely is the fastest
puncher with whom Billy has had
to contend. and he's riding along

knockouts.

been sending open letters and such
around, claiming the Pittsburgher
is giving Burman the brush-off. As
result, Ray turned thumbs dowr
on Burman, and Mike may match
Burman and Buddy Baer, possibly
in Washington.
Out of all this, with one or two
more punch-parties tossed in, Mike
hopes to line up respectable
enough foe for Louis. The chances
are it won't be Conn, win or lose
because Mike still is convinced Billy

Georgetown Among Teams
With Bowl Prospects


With four major bowls already
scanning the skyline. eight teams
will be needed to make out the New
Years Day schedule.
AS the case now stands. the three
bowls away from Pasadena-Sugar,
Cotton and Orange-all are giving
three cheers because the California
situation is tangled badly with so
many defeats and ties thrown into
the early records, with further
snarls on ahead
Among the leading bowl con-
tenders we now have Texas A. and
M, Tennessee. Mississippi, Alabama,
Fordham, Boston College, George
town, Nebraska, Clemson and pos
sibly another Texas entry.
Undoubtedly there will be changes
later on in the swift turns that take
place from week to week. A defeat
doesn't necessarily mean a bowl
elimination, since there will be few
undefeated or united teams left
when the season ends
While yearning eyes have been
east in the general direction OF
Notre Dame and Cornell, there isn't
q chance In either case.

George Washington University's

Equipped with a sensationally &C
curate passer in Ermal Allen and
highly regarded receivers in Dave

is expected to darken the sky with
aerials, against which G. w. dis
played little flnesse in winning over
Mount st. Mary's, Manhattan and
Washington and Lee.
Less troublesome to Coach Bill
Reinhart is the fact the Colonials
also figure to be disturbed by the
punting of Noah Mullins and Allen,
also the most feared offensive
weapons of the Wildcats. Kentucky
has averaged 46 yards from scrim-
mage on punts, ranking only behind
Texas Mines, but Reinhart feels his
sturdy line is capable of decreasing
the efficiency of that kicking.
The Colonials are in top physical
condition for the engagement and
will be bolstered by the return of
End Dan Douglas. Stricken by ap-
pendicitis before opening practice,
Douglas saw slight service for the
first time this season against Wash
ington and Lee, but is expected to

Gipp, Notre Dame Grid Marvel,
Lazy but Great in All Sports
He Tried, Bergman Recalls

as they did. quite often, he'd inter-
cept the pass.
He was a master at repartee. I
remember when we played Nebraska
those Cornhuskers kept riding him
early in the game. Let the great
Gipp carry the ball they'd chal-
lenge and Gipp answered. Now, fell
lows. after all this is just a football
game and we're out here to have
some fun. I'm not going to carry
that ball today-Bergman will han
die that for u.s.
Criss -Crsss Fooled 'Huskers.
He deliberately looked bad the
whole first period of that game. He'd
slow up at the line of scrimmage
and let those Nebraska tackles
smear him. Finally the Cornhusk-
ers reacted to it. They thought the
great Gipp was overrated. When
Gipp thought the opposition was
nursing the proper mental attitude
he opened up. He swished through
tackle for 10 yards to a touchdown
the first time he actually tried"
It was on the opening kickoff of
that game that Hunk Anderson. a
guard on that Notre Dame team
and currently line coach Of the Chi
cago Bears, received his biggest
thrill in football
"The Cornhuskers were wary of
Bergman's speed" recalled Ander-
son recently, so on the kickoff they
aimed at Gipp. Gipp took the kick
off and swung toward the right.
Bergman loafed and then suddenly
broke to the left. with the ball
handed to him by Gipp-the old
criss-cross. 1t caught Nebraska
flat-footed and Dutch sprinted 80
yards to a touchdown"
Yes. that's true" smiled Dutch.
"but the only reason I got the ball
on that play was because the Clipper
felt like loafing Anderson, by the
way, blocked out dangerous guy
for me.
Refexes Were Razor sharp.
There wasn't anything Gipp
couldn't do on a football field
beamed Bergman. He drop-kicked
a 52-yard field goal and that record
still stands. His passes were accu-
rate, thrown like Sammy Baugh's
They were easy to catch-I know
because I caught a lot of them.
George would stick 'em right in my
hands"
"Gipps ref1exes were razor sharp"
supplemented Chuck Egan, tele-
graph editor of The Star, who
played freshman football with him.
Everything he did on that field
was right. He was a marvel.
Il like the story about the time
Rock was giving his club pep talk
between halves Notre Dame was
losing and Rockne poured it to 'em.
When he was finished Gipp said,
Rocks right, fellows, and not only
that, I've got heavy bet on this
game. Dammit let's get going

monia and a strep infection of the

George Gipp was a genius. fond
IL reminisced Catholic University's
Coach Dutch Bergman, shifting a
cigar into the end zone of his mouth
to accelerate conversational touch
down. The three best football
players I've ever seen have been Jim
Thorpe. Bronko Nagurski and Gipp
and I guess Id have to stick the
Clipper on top.
Il don't imagine there1l ever be
another one like him-at Notre
Dame or anywhere else" continued
Bergman, who performed in the
backfield and roOmed with Gipp at
Notre Dame in 1919. HE was lazy
but a genius nevertheless"
Bergman and Gipp were halfbackS
on that undefeated Irish team of
1919 with John Miller and Pete
Bahan completing the backfield. 1t
was a team that mauled Army,
Nebraska. Michigan State and Pur-
due, among others, and the famous
Clipper was the sparkplug Of the
mighty machine.
Gipp. portrayed by Ronald Reagan
in the current film. "Knute Rockne-
All American" lived his life to the
hilt. He gained his fame on the
gridiron but. says Dutch, he was
exceptional at everything.
Rockne Humored Gipp.
"He was the pool and three
cushion billiard champion Of South
Bend in the days when fellows went
in for that in a big way" said
Bergman. He was good enough at
baseball to receive an offer from the
Chicago White Sox and he could
have made any basket ball team in
the Nation.
"Gipp even was an exceptional
gambler" laughed Dutch. He was
! a great craps-shooter and poker
PLAYER. He PLAYED percentage to
perfection and it seems he always
won. There were times when he
would sit in a poker game for "a
| hours and then report for football
practice late
"Rockne knew the boy like book
and humored him" but Gipp prob
ably was the only player he ever
babied. When Gipp reported late
for practice Rock would say. That
asthma still bothering YOU GEORGE
to make the rest of the squad feel
Gipp had an excuse.
"He was lazy. He never played
basket ball for Notre Dame, sticking
to interclass competition, and he
quit that when thev put pressure
on him to play for the varsity. He
was great at it, though, like he was
in baseball, but he quit baseball for
| the same reason. He was a bril-
liant outfielder and the White Sox
wanted him badly.
Clipper Didn't Overwork.
"He was lazy. but in foxy sort
Of way. Before game he would
approach the other 10 of us on the
football team individually and give
us private pep talks. He'd say,
Bergman, Notre Dame is depend
ing on you today. Don't let us
down Then he'd give Miller the
same dose and so on down the line.
The idea was to get us to work
extra hard so he could take it easy
and 1t worked.

than necessary, but when he went
into action 1t was poetry. Some Of
his loafing was deliberate. He'd
