5|ugging Irish Lose Another
 Football Foe
Tulane Now Says No More No Schedule Troubles,
 They Say
By Charles Chamberlain

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-tR-Tulane unmercifully drubbed 46-7 by Notre Dame, is the latest school to sever football relations with the South Bend giant, top-ranking team in the nation and undefeated through 32 games.
 With several opponents pulling out of the Notre Dame orbit, the old song and dance by Coach Frank Leahy not even being able to get game with the Chicago Bears is being revived.
 But the Irish insist they havesno scheduling woes.
 Ed Moose Krause, Notre Dame athletic director, says:
 There are plenty of good teams eager to play us. Our schedules are drawn up through 1852. In Decem- Der when the Big 10 Conference makes its 1853 slate, we'll go to work on ours. We don't work on schedules during the season.
 Tulane's decision to call it quits with the 1850 game, when it's six year contract expires, comes three weeks after a University of Wash .ington regent said his school also is through with Notre Dame.
 In five meetings with the Irish, Tulane scored only 19 points while being buried under 2O4. Washing ton, in two-game series with the Irish, was ripped 46-0 in l948 and 27-7 last Oct. 1. In this seasons game the Irish absorbed numerous major penalties. Leahy later blast ed the officials after disclosure they had been alerted by movies of the Notre Dame Washington 1948 clash.
 Another series that was allowed to die was the Notre Dame-Army rivalry which reached a crescendo in 1947 in New York. Officially, the games were getting too big
 Other corking good rivalries also seemed to pass over the boarSs. Northwestern wouldn't schedule the Irish in 1949, 1850 and 1851, grab- bing instead intersectional battles with Army, Navy and UCLA.

 'Rhubarb Year
Bv WILL GRIMSLEY

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-IR-Fom guesses, now, who's going to make the 1949 All America backfield?
 Three members of last years hon. cred quintet are trying to repeat SINUS Doak Walker, North Caro- lina's Charlie Justice and North westerns Art Murokowski.
 But none is a cinch for the 1949 nod. They're not dominating the seasons touchdown parade. Other lads are running the ball just as far even farther-and matching them with bulls eye passing.
 This seasons collection of talented backs seems to be one of the richest in several years.
 Notre Dame, the nations No. l rowerhouse, is bidding with Emil Seven Yard) Sitko. Army's un- beaten Cadets have an outstanding candidate in rifle-armed Arnold Galiffa.
 Penns Frank (Red) Bagnel is cutting all sorts of fancy capers with his passing and climaX-run- ming. San Francisco's 210-pound sophomore sensation, Ollie Watson, has pro coaches drooling.
 The South is high on Tulane's Eddie Price. Boston University tol- lowers are running out of superla- tives for Hurricane Harry Agannis. Michigan's Chuck Ortmann, alter a slow start, is coming into his own.
 This proeably will go down as "rhubarb year in college football. There have been enough to fill a dozen pies.
 Tempers have been sharp and coaches have issued blasts at the drop of white handkerchief.

That Is Lineup of Assoeiai- ed Press Poll Taken After
 Four Weeks of Play
By FRED HAYDEN

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-lRl-Notre Dame, Army and Oklahoma rate l, 2, 3, respectively, among the na- tion's college football teams in the fourth weekly Associated Press poll, and their positions seem secure for at least another Saturday.
 The Irish, idle the past weekend and sitting pretty with a record of four triumphs in as many games, should prove most unwelcome guests for Navy, which has won only two of five starts.
 Army, with five-for-five record, will entertain Virginia Military In- stitute, beaten in three out of five games.
 Oklahoma, victorious in all five starts, will be visited by Iowa State, team with four wins, one loss and one tie.
 Only three of last weeks top 10 retained the same places in the latest voting participated III py l4o sports writers and broadcasters. Notre Dame and Army remained first and second and Cornell stayed in eighth position.
 The Irish received 120 of the firstAplace votes to hold the top spot for third straight week. Army drew only 12 and Oklahoma 10.
 Back of the three current lead CTS come California, Rice, Michigan, Minnesota, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Baylor.
 Seven of the first 10 teams re- main unbeaten and united. In addition to Notre Dame, Army and Oklahoma, they are California with six conquests; Cornell and Baylor each with five, and Penn with four.
 Southern California is in 18th place and UCLA 10th.
