Chicago, Oct. 6.-The situation at tRIotre Dame is ripe for name-calllng, and it takes no great mind to put kwo and two together, get five and label Frank Leahy the goat-of-the- lTear. ,l
 It would be terrific come e-down lEor the coach-of -the-year of 1941, but the facile logic contributing all lDf Notre Danes unforeseen ills to Ia change in system is certain to be |khrown into Leahy's face.
 The bright adjectives and black I Hng of advance publicity notices, Ill (which his team was labeled as the lpreatest since Knute K. Rocke's 1880 lSuggernaut, will not soften the crit icism. The experts, synthetic and Inenuine, are certain to point an ac- lrusing finger at Lahey for inaugu- lgnting the complex T formation and destroying the cohesion of the Irish
 Leahy defends his change in strat- leRv on the ground that in his opin- lion that T is best suited for the type EOf material on hand. All he asks is q chance to use that material.
 Fred (Dippy> Evans, who was Inounted on to play George McAfees sroIe in the T, has been sidelined by lsniuries. His understudy, Creighton InaiI1er, lacks Evans speed and haS been further slowed up by bac Innkle.

ther, who wrote Whitey after the first series game in which the Red- bird famed three times. The letter expressed elation that the Cards were in the series but requested: Don't strike out three times again, please. You'll make me the laugh ing stock of the platoon" that future Marine, Johnny Beazley started the Cards on their four straight series string and finished it incidentally, the Cards proved good f1nishers, scoring in their last inning of every game IT the classic they didn't have tc bat in the ninth of the second tilt ta St. Louis.
 Lefty Gomez, who didn't appeal in the series, was donning his civ. vies in the Tanks dressing room after the finale when reporter said, tough luck, Lefty!" Senol Gomez gazed innocently at the re. porter and asked, "Why?-What die I do?"
 Dodger officials and some sup. porters were so vociferous in charg. ing that Cincinnati was making i easy for the Cards to win in tht pennant stretch that we expect any day now to hear the Brooklynite' accusing the Tanks of sluffing of in the series just to make the Cards look good and show up the Flat bushers, who took a licking iron the Tanks last year.

 New York, Oct. 6 - UP) = In cleaning up the press box after the world series. we discovered that:
 Phil Scooter" Rizzuto of the Tanks, smallest player in the classic walked off with the biggest batting average, .381. We hope he bats that well against the Japs after joining the Navy soon weahnwhile Joe Flash" Gordon, star of the 1941 Dodgers Tanks series, became the goat in this one, getting only two hits in 21 trips to the plate, and being thrown out in costly fashion in the ninth inning of the final con- test.
 Casey Stengel of the Braves in sistS the Cards are a track team" :" not ball club. He says they're so bloomin' fast on the bases that, one day at Braves field, Johnny Hopp walked and when the pitcher pulled his cap bit tighter "and looked up to watch Hopp, he learned to his dismay that Johnny was on third"
 Money Hungry
 The Cards were the youngest team ever to win the series and, likely, the lowest-salaried outfit to turn the trick in 20 years. It is re- ported that no player on the club gets more than $10,000 year and that most of them get less than half that. To some of those Chain Gangers", the $2,841 difference be- tween a winning players share and losers cut looked almost like a years salary. No wonder the money hungry lads were inspired.
 Al Schacht, clown prince of base ball, was asked, whats wrong with the Tanks in this series?" Schacht replied, "The Cards" Anyway it will be relief not to hear the cries of 'rbreak up the Tanks Il seems the war, the years and the Cards have taken pretty good care of that.

to lock in a game. This injury was aggravated in the Georgia Tech setto and may shelve Ziemba for the season.
 These bumps and bruises are new to Leahy. Last season the Irish did not suffer a serious injury. He was equally fortunate at Boston College.
 Angelo Bertelli is passing well from the T and calling plays with satisfactory acumen. He misses Steve Juzwik, his number one receiv- CT last season, who has graduated. Bob Dove, who worked at guard dur ing the spring and fall drills, was shifted back to end four days before the Wisconsin opener and IS not playing up to par.
 The Irish are grinding out yard age victories which, of course, mean nothing on the Scoreboard. They out gained Wisconsin 226 to 194, and Georgia Tech 194 to 154. Leahy calls Bill Alexander's Engineers the fast est college football team he's ever seen.
 The Irish roster is sprinkled witt, sophomores, especially the second and third teams. Three have beer in the starting lineup.
 Don't you think the T formation may have confused your team, VI asked Leahy.
 My team is so young" he re- piled thoughtfully, T think theI would be confused no matter wha' system we used"
 The whole attitude at Notre Dame is one of expectation. You get th' impression that one fine Saturday it does <. well hold your hat the lids going to blow off. and wher broother.

YALE PREPS FOR PENN

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 6.-(UP) Yale university's football team, full of confidence after its one- sided victory over Lehigh last Sat- urday, today began heavy workouts in preparation for the Penn game this week end.
 Gordon s. Miller, husky end who has been out of action for week with a cold, has returned to the squad, making Coach Howie Odell much happier. Miller probably will start the game against Penn.

It was the first time the Yankees had lost a series since 1926. when the Cardinals whipped them. They had won eight, six of them under Mccarthy, since that year.
 It was q heartening victory for the National League. The circuits world series victories have been few and far between. To make matters worse from the National Lague viewpoint. the American League had thumped the senior circuit represen- tatives scundiy in a majority of the All Star games.

Standard took over all of the oil
patents, especially the patents on
synthetic gasoline. One most I'M
portant part of the agreement was
that the Germans were permitted
to make synthetic gasoline inside
Germany, while Standard Oil was
not permitted to make synthetic
rubber inside the United States.
However, according to evidence
placed before the Senate and House
committees, 1.-THE American cartel
was so interested in relieving COM

they gave their home market away"
Evidence also has been UNI

ufacture of synthetic rubber in the
United States by these particular
patents. Documents have been
found in Standards files referring
to the Hitler government" in
dicating that the "Hitler govern
ment" was opposed to the develop
ment of synthetic rubber here.
Whether this was because Hitler
even then was scheming to cut off
our natural rubber supplies from the
Dutch East Indies, is not known.
Dividing AFTER War
What is known, however, is that
the two companies contemplated the
possibility of war. For they wrote
into their secret agreement the fol-
lowing provision:
'In the event the permform-
ance Of these agreements or of
any material provisions thereof by
either party should be hereafter
restrained or be alienated to
a substantial degree by operation
of law or governmental authority,
the parties should enter into new
negotiations in the spirit of the
present agreements, and endeavor
to adapt their relations to the
changed conditions which have SO
arisen"
Justice departments experts, called
to testify before the Congressional
committees. said they interpreted
these changed conditions" to mean
war, and that Standard sought to
dominate the synthetic gasoline
market and I. G. Farben the syn
thetic rubber market after the war
was over.

the giant deal between Standard
Oil of New Jersey and I. G. Farben-

in the United States Of patents for

As a result of this arrangement,
Goodyear Rubber and Dow Chem

Oil for use of these patents in
1884, were turned down. They did
not know at the time-nor did
anyone else-of Standard Oils

Meanwhile, Hitler was building up

HELP FOR MAC ARTHUR
BY an odd twist of fate, Gen.

plies today from man whose am

squelched by Macarthur.
The man in question Is Carroll

Gone comes from Arkansas. So
does Macarthur. When Macarthur
was Chief of Staff, Cone was in
Washington with the Commerce
Departments aviation bureau,
sought to become assistant Sec
TeCdTy OF WIT lOr air.
The job was vacant, and Cone
had the support Of the late Sen
ator Joe Robinson of Arkansas
and other potent figures. How
ever, Macarthur sat on the idea.
He wasn't keen about the air
arm of the army at that time
and abolished the job of an as
sistant secretary who would devote
all his time to promoting the Air
Corps.
For eight years the Army was
without an air executive-reyived
only year ago when Secretary
Stin1son appointed Robert A. Low

Today, as Pan American Air
