From week to week, good
old Gloomy Gil Dobie was a SATIL-
ING FRESHMAN compared to the
pessimiStic announcements of
friendly Frank Leahy of Notre Dame.
Franks latest tear-jerker is entitled:
"Notre Dame and Northwestern next
Saturday is a TOSS-UP". Yeah,

Freddy Hall a fine entertainer,
has a letter from the local Ma
TIONAL WAR FUND AND CON-
MUNITY CHEST directors that he
is proud of, given in recognition
of his direction Of the outdoor show

strongest teams in the Elks pin
league. captained by James Sof-

Quilter, whose death occurred last
night, was member of the Null

be sorely missed by many who knew
him well. To his family, brother
Jack. in particular, my sincere con-
doIences.

Relative to THAT Notre Dame
football team again. it is not too late
to point out that one of the best
Jobs of the day against Army was
,urned in by short, blocky gent,
whose name was hardly mentioned

stories of the game. He was Herb
Coleman, who used hut one hand
to pass the ball through his legs
