its traditional success against
Army.
Well, we think that as far as
that goes Army has little of that
thing called fight, too, as well as
passing attack, and traditions
were made to be broken.
From what We saw of Notre
Dame we'd rate it a good peace
time football team. From what we
have seen of Army we'd rate it
an exceptional peace-time team.
Notre Danes big line was rolled
back by Navy. Army's line hasn' t
been rolled back by anybody, and
must be considered capable of
matching any opponents line until
proved otherwise.
From all logical angles, A m y
should win the ball game. The Ca
diets have at least equal spirit, and
perhaps more incentive. They have
the edge in sheer manpower, are
ably coached.
We're any other name but Notre
Dame tagged on the athletes who

name-Notre Dame-that fills the
fans with awe, and they expect

Today several men, fathers of children ranging in numbers from one to seven, were included in the contin- gent which reported this morning at city hall to be transported to the induction center. One of the larg- est draft calls of recent months will bring scores of fathers into the service.
 As a result of the induction of family providers government agen- cies will be obliged to step in and provide funds. As recent acts of con- gress have made generous allow ances for wives and children, the financial question may not be ser- ious one for many families, but the absence of dad" will be viewed with mixed emotions and with evident distress in many cases.
 An increasing number of appeals is now on record as four local draft boards acting under directives are calling up all men of eligible age and without certification as being employed in essential industries.
 Incidentally protests are mount ing over the so-called replace schedules" in effect in local indus tries. It is being charged that men not engaged in direct production work are being deferred.
 A demand for a check-up on a number of out-of-town workers as to their eligibility is being heard. This cry was raised several months ago, but quickly subsided when draft boards declared that the matter would be given proper consideration. The fact that many single men and married men without children are being frozen" into industries has caused some comment. The com ment is based of course on some- ones opinion of the men being dis pensable. Apparently the critics of the plan disagree with employers.
 The names of men accepted for service, married as well as single, will be announced later in the week.
 From now on the various draft boards are holding meetings with extra supplies of aspirin conven- iently on hand.
