NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Can the

defeat pro eleven?
Such a learned professor of the
gridlron as 1t. Comdr. E. P. (Rip)
Miller of the Navy has suggested
that the Irish would fare success

Notre Danes unbeaten opponent at
South Bend this afternoon, lists six
former pros on its roster and five of
them are certain to see action with
Frank Maznicki also a possibility
despite his injury.
That's as close as the Irish will
come to facing pro team-and the
collegians are favored by IA points.
At the start of the week the game
loomed as the toughest on the Notre
Dame schedule, but transfer of six
Seahawks ana the injury to MAJ

sure.

Ranking next to the South Bend
fray, which is expected to be wit
messed by $4,000, is the Duke North
Carolina affair. The Blue Devils
have lost only once-to Navy, IA to
13-and hold an earlier decision
over the Gamecocks.
1t is the final game for Duke,
sought by various bowl officials who
apparently have been stymied by
the Navy's rule against long trips

3-Year Grid Jinx

With a three-year jinx against

its 1943 football book with one Of its
best records, five victories and only
one defeat, after turning back the
Eagles, 1910, before a crowd of 5000

Gonzaga made numerous threats
during the first half. 1t got inside
the Johnny 20 five times, while pass
interceptions stymied all st. Johns
attempts to get moving. Bill Muir
ply, Angelo zanger and Joe Hickson
led Gonzaga's early drives, but stiff
fened Johnny resistance stopped
them at crucial moments.
A revitalized st. Johns eleven
came back to score touchdowns in
the third and fourth periods. It's
first drive, led by George Hughes
and Andy Hayden, was halted by a
tumble on Gonzaga's /, but the
Johnnies took the return kick to
pound their way across. Two long
runs by Walter Bauman and Hay
den set up the score and Bauman
went across.
In the final frame a succession of
short gains got so yards to the Con-
zaga S. Then Hughes circled left

Two pass interceptions halted Con-
zaga's late and desperate attempts
to pull the game from the fire.

being counted out.
In the last two rounds, especially,
Montgomery seemed to be on the
verge of knockout triumph, but
somehow the Beau stood up to cart
off unanimous decision. The two
judges each gave him 10 rounds
while the referee gave him seven
rounds, Montgomery six and called
two even. The way we saw it Jack
won eight, Montgomery six with
one even.
Perhaps the punch that swung
the fight to Jack came in the ninth
round. AS they came out of clinch
Jack smashed a vicious uppercut on
Montgomery's mouth. Blood started
flowing from cut on the lip and
Bob went on the defensive.

Philadelphia Bobcat might have
started his rally sooner. At any rate
it won Jack both the 9Th and 10th
rounds and kept Montgomery on
the defensive until he hurt the Beau
with a right just before the bell
ending the 10th stanza.
Before the fight Jack signed
articles agreeing in the event he
won. to give Montgomery another
crack at the title within four
