HOLLYWOOD, Oct. S-The re- markable war record of Captain John Hamilton" whom you used to know as screen star Stirling Hay den, has stirred up less comment in Hollywood than the fact that he legally changed his name in an ef- fort to escape publicity which would have been inevitable had he been generally recognized as a for- mer motion picture celebrity.
 I think Hollywood when 1t takes time out to appraise the records of its other in-the-service stars, will be amazed to find out how many shared Hayden's aversion to publicity. Henry Fonda persistent ly refused every effort to capitalize on his screen fame. Douglas Fair banks, Jr., who won host of dec orations for valor, rates another for the skin with which he dodged newspaper acclaim. Robert Tay- Tor, Tyrone Power, Jimmy Stewart and at least dozen other top- notchers I could name, worked harder to elude publicity than their presS-agents, in the piping days of peace, ever worked to get them space" Even Mickey Rooney, who, before entering the service, was decidedly greedy for publicity, became notably modest in the Army.
 When actors trained to court pub. lie applause become so unanimous in lodging the spotlight, it's ob- vious that they've gone through a mighty experience. I'm anxious to find out how their new view points will affect an industry in which they are extremely import ant cogs.

.NOTRE DAME
 FUR THERE WITH
 ARMY AND NAVY
BY WILLIAM TUCKER United Press Sports Writer

New York, Oct. 8-(UP) Army and Navy rode high in the football Armament today but before their meeting for "the national cham pionship" both must reckon with an old rival given little notice in the preseason ratings--the resurg- ing Irish of Notre Dame.
 By plastering Georgia Tech, 40 to ', Hugh Devore's surprising Irish, joined the select company of national leaders that also includes Southern California in the west, Ohio State and Minnesota in the midwest and Alabama in the deep south.
 Easy For Navy
 Navy, vastly superior to the 1944 Middle eleven at this stage of the game, humbled a strong Duke team, 21 to o, and should roll on over Penn State this week despite the latter's trouncing of Colgate, 27 to 2. Army, striking with terrific pow CT and speed buried Wake Forest, 54 to o and, more of the same ap- parently is in store for Michigan Saturday.
 Tn the south, Alabama rose head and shoulders over the field with its convincing 26 to 2 triumph over Louisiana State. 'Bama should find easy going against weak South Car olina in its next tilt. After battering down Iowa, g to 0, Ohio State meets Wisconsin in the Big Ten while Indiana is matched with Nebraska and Michigan State with Pittsburgh in other games in- volving midwest teams.
 Southern California strengthened its bid for national honors by up- setting the St. Mary's pre-flight team, 26 to IA, and now takes on the San Diego Marines.
 Texas plays Oklahoma in the southwest feature after drubbing Texas Tech, B to 0.
 Wesleyan Through
 Middletown, Conn.,, Oct. 8-(UP) -Wesleyan's football team left the playing field today, it's short season ended with 19-O victory over Worcester Tech Saturday. The Cardinal schedule was cut of by final examinations this week before commencement October 20.
 UcOmnS tt t.as Storrs, Conn.,, Oct. 8(UP)-The Connecticut Huskies, jubilant over their 2S to 6 victory over Middle bury Saturday, today began prep arations for their trip to Lancaster, Pa, and an encounter with Frank lin and Marshall this week.
 Although three of the Husky touchdowns were the result of Mid- dlebury fumbles, the University of Connecticut team rushed their rivals almost two to one on the ground, 153 to 75 yards, and piled up 5l yards gained through the air against Middlebury's 2S, while recovering seven of the Vermonters' pebbles.
