NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-It isn't the
T formation Army uses on the foot
ball field. 1t is the INT forma ton.
The Cadets, who earned No. /
ranking by defeating five mediocre
teams and Duke, got themselves a
bit of everlasting fame Saturday by
crushing Notre Dame, the people S
gridiron choice for a quarter of a
century, by So to 0. 1t was the worst
defeat ever suffered by the Irish.
The contest added even more
glamour to the Army Navy contest,

Before the service teams clash in
their annual battle, the Cadets are
listed against Pennsylvania this
Saturday while the Middies collide
with Purdue. Navy already has
trounced Penn, Is to 0, and in each

have piled up higher total.
Penn showed little effects of its
drubbing by Navy and Michigan

Northwestern. Both service schools
are idle week from Saturday in
preparation for their own civil war
Ohio State, civilian title-seeker

added prestige by downing Pitts
burgh, 81 to 10, with the varsity
playing quarter. The Buckeyes

To Onrushing British
After Hard Fight

ROME, July 16. - ~
Seventy miles of German de-
lenses guarding the Gothic
line approaches crumbled to-
day under hammer blows that
tumbled Arezzo, gateway to
Florence, and at least four
mountain strongholds below
Livorno (Leghorn) and Pisa
into Allied hands.
Strongly-defended Arezzo 81
miles southeast of Florence fell
after sensational burst of speed
by the British Eighth Army, whose
progress had been held up for
three weeks by desperate enemy
who lost heavily in men and ma
terial in a bid to hold the city
of $4,000.
The First Tactical Air Force
announced completion of the pre-
liminaries for an all-out assault
on the Gothic line with destruction
or damaging of all the % road
and rail bridges across the river
Pc after four days Of intensive
bombing.
Coupled with this drive to cut
the flow of supplies into the Gothic
line, the Air Force announced that
communications had been severed
on the observation-disclosures
line.
The hard-pressed enemy also
faced a great menace from a Fifth
Army column which poured
through a hole in the German
Era river defense, swept up Bagni
di Casciana and in an advance of
nearly seven miles pulled up only
six and half miles short of the
Arno river city of Pontede-a.
If the Fifth could hold this pace,
all the stubborn rear guards in
the mountains for II miles west
to the sea would be forced to pull
back quickly to avoid trap, leav-
ing unguarded the great port of
Livorno, from which the Allies
can mount their coming assault
on the Gothic line above Pisa and
Florence.
The British below Arezzo had
been plagued by the bottleneck of
the Dino pass, where enfilading
artillery and machine-gun fire
crashed down every time the at
tackers made a move.
The Germans realized its i'm
portance and threw in four divi-
sions to hold the city but they
were routed in a swift outflank-

WALLACE LETTER
SENT CONVENTION
By d. HAROLD OLIVER

CHICAGO, July 16.-LR)-Offi-

Roosevelt has written a letter set
ting forth his "generaF' views on
the Democratic vice presidential
nomination was made today and it
probably will be made public to-
morrow or Tuesday. The party's
national convention opens Wednes-
day, with an anticipated scrap
over a running mate for President
Roosevelt due for decision Friday.
Chairman Robert E. Hannegan
of the Democratic national COM
mittee told 1875 newsmen about the
existence of the Roosevelt letter.
But aside from repeating that it
would "speak for ITSELF" he de-
clined to reveal whether it recon-
denomination of Vice
President Wallace, as has been
by Wallace's friends, or
any of its contents.
"'I have an idea what it con-
tains, but it will speak for Itself"
he declared.
The communication, Hannegan
added, will be addressed to Sena-
tor Samuel D. Jackson of Indiana,
who will be permanent chairman
of the convention. He said it Vss
not in Chicago yet and he did not
know who would deliver it.
There were indications, how
ever, that James F. Byrnes, war
director, who arrived
today, apparently to assume be-
hind the scenes convention role
and among other things try to iron
out the Texas party difficulties,
would be the Intermediary for the
