kotre Dame Puzzle
May Be Solved by
Iowa Saturday
Irish Need Decisive Win,
Then Must Score Over
Wildcats, Trojuns
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Nov. 13-
The football gentry, as patient and
long suffering as ever, still is seek
ing the lowdown on the strange
behavior of the 1910 Notre Dame
grid machine.
Maybe Iowa's much defeated
Hawkeyes can throw a little light
on the situation Saturday.
Just one year ago the Irish came
up to the Iowa game after rolling
over Purdue. Georgia Tech, Southern
Methodist. Navy, Carnegie Tech and
Army and they were heavy
favorite to cool off the then red
hot Hawkeye eleven.
But the Hawks took the Irish to
add another incredible upset to their
string.
Now Notre Dame approaches the
same game again with six rivals
beaten and behind them while Iowa,
suffering reprisals all along the line,
has lost four straight after opening
with victories over South Dakota
and Wisconsin.
LaydenS eleven must have a
decisive victory this week and we'll
earned triumphs over Northwestern
and Southern California in the last
two games before anybody starts
comparing them again to the last
undefeated Irish outfit in 1880.

Houghton Given Great
Chance as Barneft's
Helper al Miami
Affords Leading D. c. Pro
Crack at Big Events;
CIoeett Also Aids

The silvery hair of Al Houghton,
Beaver Dam professional and the
Districts foremost pro golfer of 1910.
will be a familiar sight in Southern
winter circuit tournaments this sea-
son, the popular local figure having
been signed to assist Bob Barnett
this winter at Indian Greek Golf
Club on the outskirts of Miami.
Houghton, 1910 winner of District
and Bedford (Pa) Opens, has been
playing consistently fine golf lately
and may cut a wide sWath in the
Southern Journeys. He will resume
his post at Beaver Dam in April,
when Barnett will return to his pro
position at Chevy Chase.
Claggett Stevens, a local youngster
who is pro at the Richmond Gnd)
Country Club, also has been signed
to assist Barnett, who was unable to
handle booming business at Indian
Greek by himself last season. Clag-
gett is a brother of Eddie, assistant
pro at Manor Club, and is ex-
pected to remain at Indian Greek
six weeks or so after Houghton and
Barnett return TO Washington.
Barnett, Houghton and Stevens
will leave for Indian Creek late this
month and the assignment is ex-
pected to be particularly beneficial
to Houghton, who recently has
PLAYED some of the smoothest COM
petitive golf of his career.

Frostbite Sailors to Battle
Any and All Winter Hazards
In Series of Sunday Races

allied with the suicidal frostbite
movement, reported last night that
similar series in penguins have al
ready begun at Seattle, at the
Manhasset Bay Yacht Club on Long
Island Sound and at the Richmond
County Yacht Club on Staten
Island.
Seattle alone has seen more than
20 penguins competing, according
to Youngs.
Races Short and Snappy.
In case you are wondering now
frostbiting is done, each race OF a
Sunday series is short and snappy,
with plenty of time out for warm
ing the inner man. Shippers also
rotate in boats, which tends to give
each contestant a chance to sail
the fastest boat. Whether the Sc
ries will be sailed on a team basis
has vet to be worked out.
Sailors who have promised to risk
their lives in the sport this coming
winter include Walter Lawson and
Charles Runyan of Washington,
Don Kanode, Youngs and BIZ
Heintz, national association presl-
dent, all of Arlington, and Speed
Lambert, r. Milton Harding and
Paul Art of Alexandra.
Take it away, boys. Well sail
our frostbite series before the clubs

They are back again, those wild
eyed, never-say-die sailing enthu-
siasts who think racing little boats
in suz-zero weather is great sport.
A small group of them met last
night at Old Dominion Boat Club
in Alexandria, Va, and solemnly
swore that come what may-blizzards
or gales-they would open the FROST
bite season on November "a.
Have Choice of Courses.
From that date on, in fair weather
or foul, the group plans to hold a
series of races every other Sunday
off Alexandria. If the wind and
tide is fair, they will race off the
club. If it blows up and the seas
build up, against the current, then
they will tow their boats over to
The Cut and race in protected waters
across from Alexandria.
Ringleaders of the sport-often
begun, but seldom completed in the
District-are local and nearby men,
bers of the National Penguin Glass
Dinghy Association. All races will be
in the smart little ll12-foot pen
gums, which began their life in this
area and now spread as far West as
Seattle, Wash.

Southwest Gets Golf
PIums in Bunches
In 1941 Awards
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Nov. 13-Big-time
golf, Graded in the East. appears
headed for a lively explorative eX-
cursion into the great open spaces
Of the Southwest, producer of some
of the games brightest stars.
The 194l National Open cham
pionship is set for June ST at
Fort Worth, Tex. and the annual
convention of the Professional
Golfers Association in session here
brought the announcement that the
Western Open will be played jan
uary 31-February 2 at Phoenix,
Ariz.
Never before, several veteran pro-
fessionals pointed out today, has
the National Open been played in
the Southwest. And to man they
believe that this section, training
place of such stars as Byron Nell
son, Ralph Guldahl, Jimmy Dema-
ret, Ben Hogan and Dick Metz,
will rally behind the l94l Open for
a record-smashing attendance fig
ure.
Attendance at last summers Ma
tional Open in Cleveland, won by
Lawson Little, was the best in years,
approaching the huge turnouts of
the Bobby Jones era in the late 20s.
While the Colonial Club of Fort
Worth will be a real championship
test, the average course in the
Southwest is conceded to be short
err and easier than those in the
East. Nelson, current P. G.. A.
champion and former National
Open titlist, has expressed the be-
lief that these shorter courses, call
ing for expert short iron play, are
responsible for the large number OF
Texas-developed stars now making
golf headlines.
The P. G. A. convention went
through a routine business session
yesterday and today was slated to
re-elect President Tom Walsh of
Chicago for another year.

Might Prove Telling
Factors in Saving
Hoyas' Record
Quarterback Is Tricky,
Willing to Gamble;
Mate Cool Booter
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

II Slick strategy and good punt
ing can get Georgetown home
against Boston College this Saturday
YOU may as well erase the Eagles
from the list of unbeaten football
teams without further ado, because
borrowing a phrase from Publicity
Man Joe Holman, the Hoyas have
everything in this respect.
In quiet, freckle-faced Joe Nc
Fadden Georgetown has one of its
smartest, coolest field generals in a
decade-a lad who doesn't have to
puncture the program with a pin
point to find the proper play. In
Mike Kopick, an end, it has the
best kicker to wear the Blue and
Gray since the colder era of Jim
Mooney. Both rate with the best
in the East and possibly in the
country.
Knows How to Pick Plays.
Any coach whose team has tried to
figure the unorthodoX ticking of
McFadden's football mind will tes-
tify to his ability. He's a good
mixer, as the saying goes, and is
Just as liable to run the same play
through the same hole five times in
succession as he is to pass on the
first or last down and get away with
it. He'll gamble when necessary,
play safe when that appears to be
the wiser course, or 90 halfway
down the line if it'll get better re-
suits, but you can wager he'll hit the
strategic nail on its head.
Kopcik's kicking generally has
has been overlooked this season be-
cause of the teams brilliant offenSe,
but 1t was an important factor IN
those first two undefeated seasons
and is an ace in the hole for Just
such a game as the one coming
up Saturday. His punting average
is a fraction of 46 yards for the
year, a plump figure when you con-
slider it includes a few short boots
angled outside from deep in enemy
territory. Saturday he'll get an
opportunity to increase it if the
attack KNOCK wood fiZZles.
Coach Jack Hagerty, who seems to
be the gent with whom all present.
day Georgetown backs are compared,
can cite innumerable examples of
smart strategy and quick thinking
on McFadden's part and Of good
kicking in tight spot by Kopcik. In
the Syracuse game, he recalled, after
"Bunky' Morris punt was returned
to the Orange 40 by Lou GhecaS he
(Hagerty) turned to End Coach
George Murtagh and remarked that
Syracuse'S right halfback was out
of position and that the No. 78 pass
was the play to take advantage of
his lapse.
Mind Works With Coaches.
The very first trick out of McFad-
den's bag Of black magic was No
78-a long pass to Ghecas, who went
over for touchdown without a hand
being laid on him.
Later in the game Rigan and PRO
broke through as Kopcik took the
ball from center for punt. Some
body had missed his assignment and
the kick was almost certain to be
blocked, but they hadn't reckoned
with Kopcik. He sized up the Stu
alton at a glance, shifted position
and got off a 60-yard drive in soccer
acknowledging between the two
Orange linemen as they charged
him.
They are merely two examples Of
quick thinking, expert playing by
the two Hoya stars. Hagerty thinks
we'll see mere Saturday in what
shapes up as the Hoyas' most i'm
portant test of the year and he can
use it then.
