Notre Dome Is Again Football Fashion Show; Irish Have the MoterioI, Yes, and the Plays;
 Leohy Gives Young Lujock and Kelly Poise

there all his life. And at right half back was 18-year-old Boby Kelly, a freshman who became eligible in time to spend all 20 minutes of his previous college football experience in the Navy game.
 Despite the youth of Lujack and Kelly, Frank Leahy sent them into a big game before 76,O0O persons with the boise of veterans. Kelly ran well, ran back punts, inter- cepted passes.
 This Notre Dame team, called by Lt.-Col. Red Blaik of Army and others in position to judge the greatest of them all, is a young outfit Freddie Barley and Bob Pal ladinof1 backs, are only IS. Rykovich and the ends, Paul Limont and Jim Flanagan, and Center Coleman are 20.
 If this isn't the best of all Notre Dame teams it will do until more formidable one comes along.
 Anybody can run behind our line," says modest Creighton Miller, but Leahy has backs to match his forwards. In no other way could you account for Georgia Tech being smacked, 55-13; Michigan, 35-12; Navy, 33-6; and Army, 26-0.
 Notre Dame against any college team this fall looks like men play ing boys.
 Notre Dame has the material and the formations.

Boxing Has Big Wartime Pickup Ln State
From Wrong Side Of Tracks, Goodman Rode Cattle Train To His First Open; Western Boy Made Golf Elite Like Him

precisely on the beaten path, but Del Monte, Calif., boasts first class hotel accommodations, and the U. s. G. A. was not worrying about gallery-not with Bobby Jones in the field, fresh from his 23-stroke playoff victory over Al Espinosa in the Open at Winged Foot.
 Following the qualifying round, speculation was rife as to Jones' op- ponent in the final.
 While many still were attempt ing to figure who would have an outside chance with the Great Jones, the Goodman boy from the other side of the tracks was taking care of the situation nice ly by bouncing out the immortal Georgian in the first round.
 There was an exodus from Del Monte that night and the next day. Goodman didn't win the title. But he certainly left mark. GOT THERE THE HARD WAY
 Three years later Goodman again popped up in the U. S. Amateur, this time at Five Farms in Balti- more. He belted his way through to the final, climbing to the ultimate round over defending champion Ouimet.
 c. Ross Somerville, Canada's out standing simon-pure, proved too much and Johnny was forlorn fig- ure as he sat, utterly alone, in the locker room following his defeat.
 Goodman wasn't licked, how ever, and the next summer he stuck out his chin and banged around Chicagos North Shore in less strokes than any of the lead ing professionals. When the totals were added, Goodman was Open champion of the United States.
 Four years later, Goodman, now a prosperous insurance broker, won the United States Amateur in Port land, Ore.
 By this time his wrong -side-of- the tracks days were forgotten.
 If there was 8 distinguishing fea- ture of Goodman's game 1t was his accuracy with wood clubs, especially from the tee. He was butter Of no mean ability, but above all he had sufficient intestinal fortitude to fight back hardest when the going was toughest.
 That is how Johnny Goodman got there-the hard way.

 New York, Nov. When Knute Rockne reigned supreme, the Notre Dame team in November was foot balls fashion Show-showing the latest styles.
 Between Rock and Frank Leahy, Old Notre Dame begged down some what in the football department, but is back on top again with all the old time tricks, savvy, vicious ness and verve. In fact something has been added to famous setup.
 Again football men go out to mar vel at everybordy faking at once, clockike precision, expert ball. handling, hidden ball tricks, passes of all types, explosive backs fight ing for every inch, cross blocking in the line, etc.
 Leahy is the master line coach with the imaginative play-making brain of 8 veteran quarterback. He doesn't miss trick and all of his kids are just like him
 Herb Coleman, the center, for ex- ample, passes with one hand and either one, depending on where the play is going or in which direction he is faking. That leaves the other hand and shoulder free for blocking purposes.
 Notre Dame came into Yankee stadium for the Army game minus Angelo Bertelli, perhaps the most accomplished passer in the history of college football. Julius Rykovich, the right halfback, was out all week with stomach ailment, was em- ployed only sparingly.
 But with all of Bertelli's all-round ability the Golden Wop was missed about as much as Leahy would miss the measles. Eighteen -year-old Johnny Lujack directed operations as the man down under in the T and passed as though he had been

BENNETT TAKES ON PATTERSON
 AGAIN TONIGHT

Hartford, Nov. 16.-The best fight of the year in the judgment of the fans themselves will be restaged at the Hartford auditorium tonight when Joe Bennett of New York bases Verne Patterson of Hartford again.
 The distance has been set for ten rounds this time, two more than their slated trip three weeks ago. But popular opinion in the distance means nothing. Either Joe or Verne will be stretched out for the count if their first scrap is any criterion.
 Bennett wound up with a seven- round kayo in the first battle, but only after surviving knockout threat himself earlier. Each was knocked down three times before the festivities were interrupted by merciful referee. Patterson, 8 2-1 favorite, found Bennett,s mid- section a particularly inviting target during the first three heats, sinking sickening left hooks in there Ben- nett came roaring back after the local veteran had spent himself try ing for kayo and Patterson bowed before pulverizing rights lombard ing his jaw. A comparative new- conner in having won 9 of Il pro- fights since copping the national Golden Gloves middleweight crown, Bennett Is an 8-5 favorite this time.
 Another promising match is the eight-round lightweight semi-final pitting Jerry zullo of Boston against Jimmy Anest of New York. Both have proven their mettle in past ap. pearances, zullo winning two and Anest whipping Harry Gentle in show-stealer in recent months.
 Unheaten Johnny Cesario, local lightweight prospect, seeks his 18th victory in facing Milton Bell of New York in six. Two fours com. plete the card.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-16
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

John G. Goodman was a good looking kid with an infectious smile showing glistening teeth and a warm handshake. He was the typi- cal American boy.
 Johnny Goodman isn't rated among the great shotmakers, but he inscribed his name indelibly up- on the United States Open and Amateur championship trophies.
 The exclusiveness of that per- formance is attested by the fact that only five other American-bred golfers have accomplished the feat Jerome D. Travers, Francis Quimet, Chick Evans. Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., and William Lawson Little.
 Goodman possessed a flaming spirit, seemed to be toting an etern- al chip on his shoulder.
 He started out in tournament golf with two strikes on him. Rear ed on the wrong side of the tracks in Omaha, he didn't actually find the doors of fashionable country clubs thrown wide at his approach.
 He learned the rudiments of the game caddying at one of the country clubs of the stockyards town. When he thoug-, he was good enough to try his luck with other amaeturs of the west, he pon- dered on the best way to reach St. Louis for the impending Trans Mississippi Championship. Being al- most entirely without funds, the best way was slow freight and John- ny, although he later denied 1t, rode the rods to his first bic champion ship.
 RUINED BEST COT PARTY
 Perhaps all this would have been forgotten and Goodman would have remained Omaha's loc-' golfing cause celebre had he not popped up at Winged Foot in 1929 amid stories of the poor but honest western boy who rode a cattle train fro:-" Neb- arska just to play in the Open Championship in Westchester.
 The United States Golf Associa- tion likes publicity, but not that kind.
 All might have been forgiven and forgotten had Johnny not ruined about the best golf party ever plan- ned.
