 From every angle, the annual Army game is the most important on Notre Danes schedule. For years the South Bend intSitution has been regarded as the nations No. l football school. It has a larger following of self-appointed alumni by far than any other uni versity. It's annual clash with Army has captivated the public, year after year, in fashion never achieved by any other college con- test-not eevn the Bowl games post-seaSon affairs that are staged long after the hurly-burly of the campaign has let down.

 The Cadet-Irish classic has more tradition behind it than the, Navy Notre Dame game. The South Renders first invaded the soldiers at West Point in 1913; but it wasn't until 1927-14 years later-that the MiddieS and the fighting Irish be- gan play. It was the initial Army encounter in 1913 that first elevated Notre Dame to national football prominence. The late Knute Rockns was captain of the Ntre Dame team that year.

ThrilIers Recalled

Just naturally, LaMotta's name
recalls the Bronx book-end col
lector's ring thrillers with Ray
(Sugar} Robinson at Olympia a
couple of years ago. Especially,
since Robinson is coming back to
Olympia Friday night. when he
will battle Vic Dellicurti.
1t is not likely Detroit fans
fortunate to see those bouts will
ever forget the stirring settos be-
tween Robinson and LaMotta.
LaMotta blazed into great fame
when he won the decision In the
first of the two meetings. That
was Robinson's only defeat in a
long and brilliant career. OF
course, Sugar gave away a good
share of weight. But despite the
weight difference, Robinson made
a great comeback and beat Jake
in the rematch.
Since then, Robinson has been
in and out of the army, from
which he was given a medical dis
charge recently.

Two Runs Do II

There wasn't much to Michi-
gan's attack except those two<
long runs for touchdowns, Bill
Culligan's 85-yard dash and DON
Lund's 56-yard gallop ii. two
dances down the sidelines which
gave the Michigans their victory.
The Badgers brought several
carloads Of spirit and dash to
Ann Arbor. The tip-of on their
zip is shown in the figures, as
the sports writers always say.
The Madison boys made Is first
downs to six for the Wolverines.
But although Wisconsin had
ample dash they fumbled a dozen
times and Michigan was alert
enough to recover on five occa-
sions. Wisconsin recovered two
of the three Wolverine slips.
The Badgers nevertheless never
let down. II you were to look for
the reason they lost you might
even blame their seemingly ever
lasting zippiness. A spirit that
made them overzealous.
/ But you can't win on spirit
that Is uncontrolled as the figures
showed on the scoreboard at the
conclusion.

WHICH WASH Dad, AFTER all.
Freeman Rexer, Luke Linden
and Alex Wojciechowicz turned in
extra special performances. BY
his fine play at center. Wolfe
added strength TO his claim to
all-league honors.
Van Tone fashioned the most
spectacular running play of the
day-a thrilling 92-yard gallop Tor
a touchdown after catching a
kickoff late in the third period.
All OF the seven Detroit touch.
downs were packed into the first
three periods. The first came an
the opening heat and was scored
by Van Tone on pass from Sink
WITCH after the Lions had taken
over the ball on a punt on The
Chicago teams 46-yard line. rhe
pass came on first down and
took the Bears completely by sur
prise. Van Tone had previously
intercepted pass which broke
up what looked like the start of
a Chicago march.
SECOND Is BUSY PERIOD
With four touchdowns damned
into the period, two for each
team. from a scoring point the
second was the big stanza Of the
murky afternoon. The Lions
scored early when two Sinkwich
passes clicked in quick succession.
Diehl took one for AZ yards TO the
Bears 5 and Matheson took the
other in the end zone.
Thus the score was ii to o in
favor Of the Lions.
But the Bears, enraged, struck
back for a touchdown a little
later. 1t was scored by Connie
Berry on pass from Luckman
from the 20. Pete Gadauskas
kicked the extra point and the
count was IA to 7.
Flushed with this success. the
Bears added another touchdown
in quick order-again Berry on O
pass from Luckman after the oval
had been rushed to Detroit's s.
But the Chicago joy was short
lived.
Before the chukker was ended,
the Lions had another touchdown
the fruit of Van Tones ire
mendous jaunt. Art took Gu
dauskas' boot and ran 80 yards
up the sidelines for the count.
Only Gudauskas got in his way
and he ducked Peter rather
smartly.
The half ended with the score
II 10 Ia in favor of the Lions.
Chicagoans in the press box
just smiled.
well, ha ha, it's q long time
yet" they chorused. Tho Bears
aren't hot yet"
Nor did they get hot. The Lions
got hotter and the third period
was their big one. They scored
three more touchdowns in this
session and then called II a day.
Keene, the good ex-University Of
Detroit boy, took one of Sinkys
passes for one of them. Matheson
took another for another score
and Hackey turned an end in a
rush for the third.
Oh, yes-the Bears net loss
was 70 yards. Ever hear Of the
Bears being thrown back like
that? Nor had we. Luckman
lost a total of a yards in three
failures p get away passes.
