Great Lakes Gets 6th
By Defeating |rish;
Seahawks Second
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Notre
Dame remains as the top football
team in the country despite its 49,
to-14. movielike loss to Great Lakes,
but it's popularity took drastic cut
Eighty-six Of 131 sports experts
voting in the final Associated Press
poll of the season, marked the Irish
No. l on their ballots, and their
decisions kept Notre Dame on the
throne for the ninth straight week
The remaining As voters were
definite in their opinions that the
loss had robbed the Frank Leahy
machine of much of its glamour
Some dropped the Irish as low as
seventh, in contrast to the poll of
three weeks ago, when Notre Dame
established record by snaring every
flrst-place ticket.
Irish Lead by 231 Points.
As it was, however, the Irish
finished with 1859 points, to take
over the mythical national cham
pionship in succession to the 1912
Ohio State eleven.
Not only did Notre Danes loss
cost it heavily in points, but it lifed
the Great Lakes aggregation from
21st to 9Th place and made the Iowa
Pref1ight, Irish victim No. by a
14-to-13 count, strong runnerup to
the South Bend stalwarts.
The Seahawks grabbed IL first
place votes and total of 1923 points
only 231 less than the total COM
piled by Notre Dame.
Michigan. with single expert re-
garding it as the country's best, was
third, while Navy's 13-to-O victory
over Army hiked it from sixth a,
week ago to fourth
Purdue, undefeated and whom a
dozen experts hailed as the No !
outfit, came next. just above the
Great Lakes Bluejackets. The
Sailors received one vote for No. l.
Duke Is Tops in South.
Duke, again a Dixie powerhouse
and the Southern Conference cham
pion, landed seventh place and an
neXed the seven votes as the best,
while Del Monte (CalifD Pref1ight
was eighth and had nine writer's
hailing it as the outstanding eleven.
Northwestern and the 4th Air
Force outfit of March Field, Calf,
completed the top 10.
Great Lakes took the sept in the
select circle vacated by Army, a
member of the first 10 all season
until shunted among the second
group by its loss to Navy.
The first 10 thus is made up OF six
teams from the Middle West. two
from the Far West. one from the
East and one from the South. The
Southwest is not represented for the
first time in recent years, although
both Texas and Texas A. and M.
were included in earlier polls this
fall.
80 Teams Get Consideration.
Thirty-two elevens received con-
sideration, including all eight OF the
squads named to the four January l
major bowl games.
The leading teams, determined on
a basis of 10 points for each first
place ballot, nine for second, etc.

Five Different Years
Recognized by Science

Many. races through many CEN
turtles have governed the length
of their year by various phenome-
na-the seasons, the temperance
of certain stars in certain places,
etc. Today science recognizes at
least five different "years."
They include: 1.-The civil or
calendar year of 1865 days, or 366
days in Leap Year. 2-The anon
alistic year, the time between two
passages of the sun through the
perigee of the earth orbit, during
it's apparent movement through
the star field, 365 days, six hours,
IS minutes, 40 seconds. 3-The
sidereal year, the time it requires
the sun to reach the same posi-
ton among the fixed stars, 1865
days, six hours, nine minutes, 9.3
seconds. 1.-The tropical year,
the time between two passages
through the vernal equinox or
First Point of Aries,'' about II
minutes less than 1854 days. s.
The synodic year of IL lunar
months, about 355 days.

PREPAREDNESS
BY = the
AMERICAN RED CROSS

TOTAL global war is bringing to
N the American people in March
an appeal from their Red Cross
for funds, in an amount common
surate with the largest army the
nation has ever known.
Just as vast numbers of the men
in the armed forces come from the
smaller communities and rural
territory of America, so must a
great part of the money to assure
the welfare of these men far from
home come from the home folks.
The 1943 War Fund goal of
$125, 900 is the greatest ever set
for any single campaign in the his
tory of the American Red Cross.
But the nation is reminded by
Chairman Norman H. Davis that
the usual membership roll call was
not held last November. There
fore, the combined enrolment and
War Fund appeal in March is in
tended to finance the work of the
organization until February %,
1914.
"Our goal" Chairman Davis
said, "is based upon realistic esti-
mates which, careful study shows,
are actually needed to meet the
heavy wartime obligations and re-
sponsibilities of the Red Cross.
This sum covers local, national
and international wartime needs
of the organization for one year
barring unforeseen emergencies
or disasters. It was established
after the Central Committee ex-
amined budget estimates of the ma
tional organization and it's $3.50
chapters and 6,154 branches.
Case figures prove why these
Red Cross services to the armed
forces are so vital During the
past year these more than two mil
lion servicemen' cases have eased
minds and matters for Americans
on fighting fronts and home front.
AS the armed forces expand and
as war problems are multiplied
the importance or the Red Cross
service to the soldiers will be re-
f1ected in a figure of additional mil
lions.
To the serviceman the Red Cross
is dependable link with his fam
lily at home. No matter what hap
pens the Red Cross will keep him
in touch with his loved ones. The
Red Cross, he knows, is interested
not only in his personal welfare
but in that of his family as we'll.
He depends on his Red Cross field
director and staff who follow the
troops to the ends of the earth.
The field director depends on the
home chapter of the Red Cross to
look after matters on the family
end of this long line of communi-
cation.
