Irish, '43kings, Ninth;
Randolph Field Third
With Navy Fourth
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Army re-
places Notre Dame as the national
collegiate football champion.
The Cadets, who mastered Navy
by 23to-7 score in their Baltimore
War Bond fray to close an unde-
feated season, were named first on
95 of 121 ballots received today by
the Associated Press in the final
weekly poll to determine the 10
top football teams.
Army was among the leaders in
every one of the tabulations during
the season and was in first place
throughout the last half of the CAM
paign following its $50 romp over
Notre Dame.
The Irish finished ninth and Navy
grabbed fourth. Ohio State, also
unbeaten and the 1914 champion
of the Big Ten, is second, and RAN
dolph Field, another eleven with an
unsullied record, is third.
Bainbridge, Iowa Preflight, South
ern California, Michigan, Notre
Dame and the 4th Air Force of Cali
fornia trailed the Midlies in that
order.
Lone Voter Passes Up Army.
Army was mentioned on all but
one of the ballots received, the dis
senting voter declaring that it was
unfair to class the Cadets in the
collegiate ranks. All told, Army
garnered 1.165 points on a basis of
10 points for each first-place vote, 9
for second, etc. The Buckeyes picked
UP GAL.
Not only is this Army's first un-
official national title, but 1t also is
the first time the Cadets have been
in the elite grouping at the end of
the season in nine years of the poll.
Previous winners were Minnesota,
which triumphed in 1896, 1910 and
194l; Pittsburgh In 1887, Texas
Christian in 1898; Texas Ags in
1889, Ohio State in 1912 and Notre
Dame a year ago.
There is only one change in to-
days tabulation from that of
week ago, 4th Air Force replacing
Tennessee in 10th place. The Vols,
unbeaten but tied, and the Eastern
team in the Rose Bowl, skidded to
18th place.
Navy Drops Two Places.
Navy, erstwhile runnerup, dropped
to fourth making it possible for Ohio
State and Randolph Field each to
move up notch behind the Cadets.

basis of 10 points for each first-place
vote, 9 for second, for third, etc.

Theater Has Film Fire: Sargent Residence Hit

A fire which broke out outside the Fred Sargent residence Tues. day was quickly brought under control and extinguished with minor damage to the house. which was especially fortu- nate considering the high winds that day that could have caused serious spreading of a blaze of any size.
 Smoke and flames at the northeast corner of the house were seen first from the Joe Heitman residence almost a block away. Joe Heitman and an other man ran to the scene and attacked the fire with water soaked sacks. The yard was full of wooden trash from a reshing- ling job on the roof.
 The fire siren sounded at 5:41 pm and in exactly nine minutes the fire was entirely out. Both trucks responded to the alarm and water was drawn from a city hydrant at the corner after fire extinguishers were used first. Be- fore the water reached the scene the flames went up the outside wall, under the caves and burst forth inside the house. The blaze inside was quickly put out by members of the fire department with an extinguisher.
 The fire started in the trash a. longside the house, but the ex- act cause is unknown.
 MT and Mrs. Fred Sargent are Outside at present on trip.
 Only casualty of the incident occurred in 9 minor fashion to young Alvin Petrich, Sargent's grandson, who was interrupted in the midst Of his bath.

Sunday, October 8, marks the 150th anniversary of the arrival in Kodiak of the first mission aries of the Russian faith, ac- cordlng to information furnished by Father Gerasim Schmaltz, resident of Monks Lagoon on Spruce island, who is visiting Kodiak at present.
 In commem oration of that historic date, special services will be included in the Russ ian Church Services at 10 Sunday morning. Father Ger. asim will oficiate, in the absence of Rev. Gregory GIeboff, who is on trip around the island.
 It was on October 8, 1794, Father -Gerasim said, that II monks arrived at Kodiak to be- gin their work after a trip of over half a year that took them across Siberia and by boat from Kamchatka to this island.
 One of that group was the famed Father Herman and an- other was Father Joseph, both of whom are now buried at Monks Lagoon.
 The monks work was the very foundation of the century and a half of the Russian Greek Orthodox religion in this terri tory and North Amerlca. All eleven were from Valaam Mon- astery, located on an island m Europe's largest lake, Ladoga, situated in northwest Russia and southeast Finland. During the Bolshevik uprising and regime the same monastery was the only one untouched by the Bol- sheviks.

 Official peak velocity for any one gust was recorded on Tues day at a maximum velocity of 86 miles per hour, but the over all average from 6 am to 6 pm on the same Aday was a '3l-mile average.

AhS VI PIOuhl OlCdOCl Wdo nlO by fire just at the beginning of the first show last night when film of a Technicolor short sub ject broke and caught fire inside the machine. Manager R. R. Lunday, who was operating, ran downstairs to notify the audi ence and then returned to the booth to fight the blaze with a hand extinguisher.
 The heat of the burning film was so intense that the reel in the other machine 4 feet away also caught, and flames shot up in the booth and reached as far as the front window.
 The fire was turned in and both trucks answered the call and other extinguishers were rushed to the booth. As the film burned out all the fire was ex- tinguished without the use of water. The asbestos lining of the booth prevented more serious spread of flames.
 The audience left by the two front exits in orderly fashion as two men stationed themselves at the doors and told the people to take their time.
 It was too early to determine the amount of damage up to the time the Mirror went to press this morning, but Manager Lun- day said a preliminary survey indicated the machines were not so badly damaged as first thought, and it is hoped-to have them in operation by Sunday. The machines will have to be cleaned and tested before their true condition can be determln- ed, he said.
 Insurance is carried on the equipment but not on the film, which is expected to be the great est loss of the fire. Two reels, a Technicolor short on skiing and a Three Stooges comedy, were completely destroyed.

Night Club Is Robbed

The Club Montmartre was robbed sometime Thursday ev- ening between 7:30 and midnight by someone who climbed a lad der to oil tanks in the rear of the building, broke a pane of glass in a bathroom window to reach the latch and then walked the length of the building to the office at the end of the hall. Here they opened the safe door, of which the lock was out of order, and extracted $251 in bills, talk ing time to sort out one check and leave it in the safe.
 Then they apparently left the same way by stepping on the batbtub and climbing out the second story window on to the lean-to roof of the kitchen and back down the ladder.
 All this happened while Frank and Myrtle Kempton, owners, were waiting on customers below. Mrs. Kempton had been in the office about 7:30 to get change. Just before midnight she said her feet hurt her and went up- stairs to change shoes and dis covered the glass on the bath room floor. The light had been left on in the bathroom but the hall and office were dark. Her purse on a davenport in an ad- joining room was untouched and a check in the office disclosed that over $90O had been over- looked by the cuIprit.
 Open cases of liquors were stored iD the office, and no bot ties were missing
 Deputy US. Marshal Paul Herring and Police Chief Jack Altman were notified yesterday and made an investigation.
 The person first attempted to pick the putty from the glass and then had given up and brok- en 1t to reach the latch. He also stepped into the bathtub, either in leaving or entering.
 The Montmartre, when oper- ated by Clark Odekirk in Sep- tember, 1942, was the scene of a robbery attempt when trunk upstairs, with $1400 cash m it, Was discovered missing After police were called they found the trunk and money intact in the brush below the window.
