Green Bay retains its second place

Skins 10 Spring New
Tricks on Chibears
In Sunday Game
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

The Redskins have some new and
supposedly potent surprises in pros
pect for the Chicago Bears when the
two pro football teams clash at 2 pm.
Sunday at Griffith Stadium.
Mixed in the pot of what some
hope will be a bitter brew for the
huskies from the Midway is George
Cafego, the new back obtained last
week from Brooklyn. Cafego is
being groomed as a replacement for
Sammy Baugh, and has been the
tosser against the starting team in
practice, with the opposition and
Cafego using Bear plays, and par
ticularly the formations out of which
Sid Luckman throws forward passes.
Cafego looms as strong addition
to the attack, according to Coach
Dutch Bergman, who is hopeful his
team can mix its passing with the
ex-Dodger and former Tennessee
star.
But Bergman isn't too sanguine
about others on the squad, particu-
-larly Guard Dick Farman, an all
league choice last year, and Tackle
Willie Wilkin. Both were injured in
the game with the Detroit Lions last
Sunday. Baugh was knocked around
in a practice scrimmage Tuesday,
but is okay and will start.
The Skins head coach was en-
thusiastic about the play of Ray
Hare, regular quarterback Not
many people noticed it," he said.
but Ray gained a lot of ground
against Detroit. He usually is used
AS blocking back. but he can carry
that ball, too, and do a good job.
I hope We can use Ray more as a
ball carrier. He has lot of speed
and drive"

The Bears will arrive here Satur-
day. They'll work out that day at

Arlington After Two Bombers
In War Bond Pin Tourney

gathered $22 1000 In bonds with q
one night, slightly ballyhooed duck
pin show. Staged to help an Amer
lean Legion bond drive, this affair
was to be accounted success If it
produced 5000.
All the bowling promoters in the
county are lined up solidly with
Goldberg, notably Gait DaYis of
Rosslyn and Wade Pearson, who,
besides operating an alley, SUPER
vises string of theaters in the
county. He'll employ these in the
ballyhoo.
A bowler may buy or sell his way
into the tournament. The purchase
or sale Of a non-payroll bond in
series E, F or G will entitle one to
compete. Thousands of non-bowlers
are expected to join in Metropolitan
Washington's first major special ef-
fort to purchase war equipment.
Those heavy bombers will be named
for this area.
Incidentally, the bowling bonds
sold In Virginia and Maryland will
be accredited by the Treasury De-
partment to their general totals.
Within few days every issuing
agency in this section will be SUD-
piled with bond application blanks
stamped with the name of the tour
nament and the receipts from these
will function as entry blanks. They
must be turned in to an alley at
tendant before the entrants take
their turns. There will be no cost
for the three games boWled, the OPP
orators having absorbed this besides
going $3.50 with The Star in pro-
viding $4,000 (bond maturity
yalue) prize fund.
Tourney Rules Are Simple.
As customary in The Star tourna-
ment, full handicaps will be given,
based on a scratch Of 1913 for men
and 118 for women. Alley attend
ants will be provided, in printed
form, with the few simple rules Of
the tournament, which will be am
plihed from time to time in these
columns.
In the meantime. bowling leaders
have responded to the bond venture
with will and in the coming weeks
the bowlers' slogan of Keep 'em

Better Teams Beaten
By Irish Than Iowa
Navy Has Met
BY BUCKY O'CONNOR,
Associated Press Sports Writet.

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-Fortunetely
for Frank Leahy and 1t. Don
Faurot the social dictum that it's
not polite to point doesn't hold
true in football circles.
So the coaches of Notre Dame
and the Iowa Preflight Seahawks,
the Nations top ranking teams, are
hard at 1t this week pointing their
respective unbeaten and united
elevens for Saturdays showdown
engagement.
The result should establish one
or the other definitely as the coun-
trys greatest football team-college
or service A crowd of $4,000 is
expected to watch this unofficial
championship battle at Notre Dame
Stadium
Both teams have spotless records
of eight consecutive victories. The
Irish string, however, is far more
impressive. 1t includes decisive tri-
umphs over such front ranking
teams as Georgia Tech, Michigan,
Navy, Army and Northwestern while
the Seahawk opposition has been OF
second-rate variety.
Notre Danes Record Better.
Notre Dame, practically unani-
nous choice as the Nations No. /
team, has rung up 312 points while
holding its formidable foes to 81.
Only one team-Georgia Tech-has
scored as much as 13 points against
the sturdy Irish line. Michigan,
with Bill Daley playing, managed
to register r. Navy and North
western got six apiece and the other
four, including Army, had a grand
total of zero.
The Seahawks, standing in No. 2
position in the latest Associated
Press national poll, have trounced
Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa State.
Iowa. Missouri, Fort Riley, Mar
quette and Camp Grant. Not
first rater in the lot.
In rolling over such opposition the
Prefighters have scored 235 points
against the enemy's 80. Only VIC
tory starved Iowa was shut out.
Five teams have scored 13 or more
points each against Faurots ex-
collegiate and professional stars.
Comparing scores may be as USE
less as comparing waterboys. never
theless it is interesting to note what
the Irish and the Seahawks did
against a common foe-Illinois.
Seahawks Fear Loss of Star.
The Seahawks whipped the Illini,
30 to l8. making IA first downs and
1855 yards on the ground. That was
the SeahaWks' season opener and
the second game for Illinois. More
than month later, with the Illini
having shown steady improvement,
the Irish walloped them easily, Al
to 0. Notre Dame made 25 first
downs and 545 yards on the ground.
Faurot has turned on the tears
this week, bemoaning an injury
which is expected to keep Frank
Maznicki, his star halfback, out of
the game. Notwithstanding his pub
lie pessimism, however. the Sea-
hawk coach is priming his boys for
an upset to reserse the 28-to-O de-
feat handed the team last year by
the Irish. Leahy, of course, is point
ing in the opposite direction.

Shortage Of Fighters
The boxing business isn't doing
so well but only because there aren' t
enough good fighters around. Put
on a fight that promises any sort of
competition and the customers will
come across. There wasn't a big out
door fight in New York this summer
only because Uncle Mike Jacobs
didn't have any fighters. OF the six
top divisions champions, five are in
the services.
The lightweight title is vacant,
and the National Boxing Association
also lists Phil Terranova as its
feather champ, but it must be pretty
much embarrassed at this. Willie Pep,
who is the best feather around, is in
the Navy. Terranova is carrying on
the same sort of business as did
Jackie Callura, the champ" before
him. That is, taking part in lot
of nontitle affairs and getting
beaten. Harry Jeffra decisioned him
the other night in Baltimore.
This sort of thing knocks down

This is in the extra point depart
