Northwestern pulled its line

weakness at end, caused by the
loss of Chuck Hagmann early
in the game The Irish retaliated
by ripping the Cat tackles to
shreds. Terry Brennan and Bill
Gay continually roared off tao
kle, seldom being stopped until
they were well into the second
airy. Bob Voight's boys seemed
to have no defense for this ma
neuver and it cost them two
touchdOwns and victory.
Notre Dame led 6 to 0 until
late in the third quarter when
Art MurakOWski, the Outstand-
ing back on the field, brought
the crowd to it's feet with a bril-
liant 81 yard run on a pass in

pucka on the Irish 80 yard line
to go the rest of the way I'M

extra point to give the Cats !
to 6 lead.
For moment the biggest up
set of the season was in the
making but almost before the
laundering Wildcat cheers had
died down, the Irish took over
to drive down to their victory
touchdown.
Notre Dame perhaps had too
much power for the Cats. But
the boys from Evanston certain
ly have nothing to be ashamed
of as they knocked off Notre
Dame as the first team of the

Fight looms
at ave meet
in Cleveland


tee members in Chicago are
making last-minute preparations
for the third annual AVG con-
We n i o n November 1926 in
Cleveland. Chicago chapters will
send nearly 100 delegates and
alternates.
Key issue before the conven-
ton will be constitutional
amendment prop e d by the
right wing controlled National
Planning Committee for a Taft
Hartley type on-Communist
affidavit.
In recent weeks, the issue has
been brought to a head by a
series of Planning Committee
actions, including expulsion of
John Gates, Communist Party
official, custer of Morris Pottish
from the Planning Committee
itself, and recommended expul-
sion of one chapter and suspen-
sion of Is others. Polish was
the only Progressive elevated to
the top ave policy making body
last year. All expulsions and
suspensions will be appealed at
the convention.
The fight between right and
left factions within AVG is ex-
pected to come to a quick show
down on the convention floor
over seating of delegates from
the chapters, whose suspension
or expulsion has been de-
manded. They are all New York
chapters.
Despite the drop in national
AVG membership from a high
of 10000 to the present 10000,
the Importance Of the organiza-
ton was punctuated November
2 with the election of two men,
bers to governorship and four to
seats in Congress.
G. Mennen Williams, heir to
the shaving cream fortune was
elected Michigan Governor;
Oscar RennebOhm, M d i n
druggist, was chosen Wisconsin
Governor; while Sidney Yates Of
Chicago, John Blatnik of Mime
sofa, Richard Boiling of Mis-
souri,, and Jacob Javitz of New
York, were elected to Congress
A spokesman for the Progress
sive caucus in AVG pointed out
this week that while there has
been marked drop in mem
bership, losses sustained by Pro.
gressive-controlled hapters
have not been as great as those
in chapters dominated by the
Independent Progressives, mos
of whose leadership is closely
identified w h Americans fol
Democratic Action.
i Sidney Ordower, who ran fol
Congress in Chicago on the Pro
. gressive Party ticket, is con
J sidered a likely candidate fol

mittee.

in the Rose Bowl. But we can't
help wondering why the Cats
driving half back, Johnny Mil
Ter, didn't see more action.
When the Cats had the ball 3rd
down, 2 to go on the Irish 9,
early in the game a hard driv-
ing back of the Miller type
might have gotten the necessary
yardage. Instead the Cats were
stopped, the Irish took over, and
went on to their first touchdown.
1t seems its always the same
thing, second guessing how the
Cats should have beat the Irish.
This was the 26th and last game
of the series and the Irish have
won %.
Perhaps its just as we'll they
won't m e e t air for some
time. The fans couldn't take
anymore like this one. AS for
your writer, if it hadn't been
for the special nerve tonic, in
vented, prepared and imbibed
in by Brother Vaughn, we would
still be walking around South
Bend in a daze, mumbling to
ourselves as we tried to find
the way to go home.
1t was that kind of a game.

LANES KEARNS, ballyhoo art
y ist of the fight game who
managed Jack Dempsey to a
World Championship, brought
two more of his heavyweight
hopefuls, Joey Maxim and Ros-
coe Toles to the Stadium the
other night. After watching
Maxim win unimpressively over
an in and outer, Bob Satterfield,
and Toles unable to put the light
out for big clumsy and inept
fighter by the name of Big Boy
Brown, we came to the conclu-
sion that Kearns had better re-
surrect Dempsey. Jack has a
better chance of beco ming
heavyweight champion. The day
either Maxim or Toles fights for
the heavyweight championship
and wins, we are going back
into training. They really looked
that bad.

BUT WAIT
What's she got? Why the
fuss? Take a good look and
add it up.
Our point is somebody else
has got it-BUT GOT 1T HERE!
Don't rush us now. We want
to know too. The Standard is
fixing to find out who it is.
This much we know:
She lives in Illinois. She
works for a living-probably in
one of Chicago's West Side shops.
Or then, equally probably in a
downtown office or she's wait
ing on tables or maybe she's an
attendant in a hospital ward
Chances are her take-home
pay is within a few bucks of
Virginia Mayo's pin money. Her
contract security comes not
from the box office but from
the bargaining table
Yeah-she's a union member.
That much we know. But that's
all.
When The Standard finds her
you will know her-as QUEEN
OF ILLINOIS LABOR.
The Standard being every
body's paper, that means you
can and will know when every
body finds her. Or more speci-
fically, when YOU find her.
Here's the deal:
This is a contest to find The
Queen of Illinois Labor. Three
Union Maids in Waiting will
also be chosen. They will be
the runners-up. Any girl in
Illinois is eligible if she is
member of union, and if she
is nominated by the unit in
which she works.
That union can be a shop,
whole factory, an office, a de-
partment. That's up to you.
You can choose her any way
you like.
You can elect her as your
nominee at your shop meeting
or from your local union. You
can take secret ballot around
the shop by getting everyone to
drop names in hat. You can
even take up petition to nomi-
nate her.
Now if your unit can't make
up it's mind between a couple
of union maids where you
work, don't break your backs
or your hearts about it. Nomi-
nate both of them. That's okay.
The Standard is going to pro-
duce list of hard bit judges
who won't pass the buck. They'll
decide
