= NEW YORK, Nov. 1-Notre Dame
VS.. Army-regarded as the game of
the year-headline this weeks COL
lege football program as the season
swings into November, traditionally
q month for upsets.
Although the unbeaten and united
-1rish-proclaimed the best team in
the country-will be minus Angelo
Bertelli, their nifty forward passer,
and the Cadets lost degree of
prestige in being tied by Pennsyl-
vania, the game will unfold before
capacity $4,000 crowd at Yankee
Stadium. 1t was sold out weeks ago.
Another sellout crowd of some
10000 is expected at Franklin Field
In Philadelphia where Navy, crushed
by Notre Dame, seeks to rebound
against Penn. This game ranks
second billing for the week. 1t lacks
only the lure of Notre Dame and the
possibility that the Irish may lose in
a sensational upset.
While few expect the Cadets to
ehatter the Irish hopes for perfect
season it is we'll to remember that
the Cadets should benefit from their
unexpected 1913 deadlock with
Penn There is no doubt the West
Pointers will be up for the game and
1t remains to be seen how the Irish
will react under pressure without
Bertelli. Johnny Lulack has been
eroomed to step into Bertellls shoes,
but can he duplicate the feat of COM
pleting l6S of 32l aerials under
stress?
Army's Big Chance.
In any event 1t seems that It Is
now or never for Army. The Cadets
have not even scored on Frank
Leahy-coached Notre Dame eleven,
In fact they have not licked the
Irish since l94l when 60-yard run
by Ray Stecker in the last quarter
seWed up a 12-0 victory. If the
Cadets can shake loose Doug Kenna
Or Glenn Davis the law of averages
may catch up with the South
Benders.
Bertelli bowed out in great style
before $4,000 at Cleveland Saturday.
throwing three touchdown passes
and scoring a fourth himself as the
Irish routed Navy, previously un-
beaten, 336.
The most exciting game Of the
day, though, was at Philadelphia
where 1900 thrilled as Penn,
81 -to-1 underdog, came from behind
twice to tie Army. OuruShed, l8l
yards to 46, Penn scored both its
touchdowns on forward passes with
a wet ball. The second and the most
thrilling came in the last quarter on
a toss from Joe MiChaels to Bob
Odell Odell caught the ball on his
fngertipS on the Army 40 and outran
the Cadet secondary. 1t was IL
yard play. Not since Penn beat Cor
nell, 1920, in 1910 has a game been
so exciting at Franklin Field.
