ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 7.-Opera-
tions of the Chesapeake Bay ferry
system were termed most gratifying
from financial viewpoint" today by
Gov. O'Conor. in a report on the new
Sandy Point terminal

month in 1912, and added that there
was considerable increase since the
new terminal north of Annapolis

the elimination of the Annapolis

Notre Dame, Army, Navy and

Duke Tackles Tough Rival.
Judging from the anticipated
crowd of 10000 at Cleveland's Mu-
nicipal Stadium, tomorrow's leading
game pits Purdues unbeaten and
united aggregation against Ohio
States all-civilian outfit. Although
they displayed possibilities in losing
to Great Lakes last week, Paul
Browns Buckeyes don't figure, on
paper at least, to stop the onrushing
Boilermakers.
Duke, beaten l4-13 by Navy's
strong eleven last week, likewise is
favored to defeat North Carolina,
but the Tar Heels may play an in
spired game against their arch
Southern rival
Holy Cross and Cornell appear
evenly matched with an edge, if any,
going to the Crusaders on the basis
of their showing against Dart
mouths poWerhouse. Cornell took
licking from Navy, but bounced
back last week to wallop Princeton.
VI lAlS wy 1oui 4Nd' y, dIoilc, may

a notoriously poor road team, but
the Nittany Lions never should be
underrated.

other November opponents of Notre
Dame. Angelo Bertelli may still be
around at that time.
For although Accurate Angelo, the
whip arm and brains of the Irish
T formation, is due to depart for the
Paris Island marine base right after
the Navy game October 30, there's
an outside chance he may remain
at Notre Dame long enough to round

Here's why:

game-and Reserve Halfback Ray
Davis are marine trainees due to
finish the college end of their school,
ing November l. But word has been
flltering in to the various Midwest
marine e-trainee schools that not all
of the boys can be taken to Paris
Island on that date.
That means, only percentage Of
each group may go, and the ones
left behind will be determined by
some method not made public, but
possibly by chance. Thus by the
flip of coin Bertelli may miss the
Army, Northwestern. Iowa Seahawks
and Great Lakes games-or he may
be right on hand with his heady
operation of the formidable Leahy
aggregation.
Even if all four players go to
Paris Island the loss of key men
like Filley and Bertelli still doesn't
stack up as the ruination of this
great football team-and the incom-
ing class may contain some new
prizes for Frank Leahy.
