for many times when coaching
at Fordham I would find my
self daydreaming of the time
when Notre Dame would be
playing in Yankee Stadium and
I might be privileged to find
myself on the coaching staff of
my alma mater.
Irish Respect Tar Heels.
Realizing that there will be
no time for daydreaming after
1870 tomorrow afternoon, we
have done our utmost to pre-
pare the Notre Dame team for
the game with North Carolina.
Having worked with Coach
Carl Snavely during more than
one coaching clinic I know that
the Tar Heels 1949 record to
date is not indicative of his
true coaching ability. Because
of the type of ball that North
Carolina plays. we look for to-
morrow's game to be one of
the higher scoring contests Of
our season and our sincere hope
is that the Irish can get the
ball across that final marker
a few more times than the op-
ponent does.
Looking southwark, we see
several games that will have
considerable bearing on the
final standings in the Southern
and Southeastern Conferences.
The most improved team in
that area is expected to re-
main in the forefront as L.
s. U. subdues Mississippi State.
Very important games should
witness the defeats of Alabama.
Auburn and Vanderbilt by
Georgia Tech, Georgia and Tu-
lane. Last Saturdays unfor-
tunates, Clemson, Duke and
Tennessee, are expected to re-
turn to the win column as they
take the measure of Duquesne,
George Washington and Mis-
sissippi. Southeast Conference
contender Kentucky will have
to go all out before it stops
Florida and Charley Hunsinger.
Wake Forest and Virginia Mil
itary look good bets to defeat
North Carolina State and The
Citadel.
Ohio State Favored. -
Considerably less action than
usual will take place in the.
midwest this week end as
many of the home teams are
on the road. OF top impor-
tance on the, Big Ten scene is
the Ohio State Illinois clash
In which we see the Buckeyes
outscoring the Ilini. Still the
conference favorite is defend
ing champion Michigan and it
should, remain in front by vir-
tue of victory over Indiana
while Iowa slows down high
flying Wisconsin. Non-confer-
encs games favor Iowa State.

Eagles Agent Means,

Although rated two to three

Kiphuth, Yale Leader,
In Critical Condition
After Heart Attack
By the Associated Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. IL
Robert j. H. (Bob) Kiphuth, SO.
Yale University's director Of ath-
letics, is in critical condition at
New Haven Hospital today follow
ing heart attack.
The gray-haired perfectionist.
who pi1oted United States Olympic
and Yale swimming teams to un-
precedented heights. suffered a
coronary occlusion yesterday while
playing handball at Yale's Payne
Whitney Gymnasium.
Hospital sources explained that
coronary occlusion occurred
when heart muscle collapsed.
A spokesman said early today
that Kiphuth was in critical con-
dition," but added that 1--WE have
been given no more information
concerning him."
Last Olympic Team Great.
Kiphuth succeeded Ogden Miller
as Yale's athletic director in 1946.
He came to Yale in 1914 as an
obscure physical director and be-
came swimming coach almost by
accident.
He directed the last four United
States Olympic swimming teams
and his 1948 team, the last,
achieved an unprecedented sweep
of every event.
Kiphuth quietly was following
his hobby Of body building in 1917
when he was asked to fill in for
a pool supervisor who was Ill. He
showed so much enthusiasm that
he was named coach.
Kiphuth once told an inter-
viewer:
II must have read a million
books on the subject and gone to
nearly every swimming meet in the
United States during the months
right after my appointment"
Tank Record Brilliant.
In any event, nobody swan for
body builder Wiphuth until he had
spent long hours acquiring phys
ica1 perfection and proper tech
nique. Many Of his pupils have
called his training methods "tor-
ture." but they have paid of.
In dual competition. his teams
went undefeated from 1918 to
1923. then lost three In a year.
From 1924 to 1898, Yale won 1873
consecutive meets and then 68
straight from 1888 to 1945, when
a full strength Army team defeated
a war-depleted Yale team.
Since that loss. Yale hasn't been
beaten In 40 dual meets and this
spectacular record holds true out
side dual meets.
His famed pupils? Alan Ford.

CoIonioIs, Swomped
Last Year, Prepared
For Fight This Time

Duke University's football team,
already assured Of its best season
since l945 when 1t was the second
highest scoring team in the Ma
ton. is a two-touchdown choice
over George Washington for to-
morrow afternoons game at Crit
fifth Stadium. Kickoff time is
pm.
The Blue Devils. who have been
able to win only four games a year
for the last three years. have five
1949 victories on the books against
losses to Navy and Wake Forest.
Duke and G. w. have played one
mutual opponent. Virginia Tech.
with Duke 55-7 winner and G.
w. 21-14 winner.
Both are opponents Of the
power-packed single-wing offen-
sive and both present a tailback
0eft halfback) as their star player.
For Duke, 1t is Billy Cox, who al
ready has broken his schools rec
ord for passing yardage in a single
season. For G. W., it Is Andy
Davis. Cox has accounted for 631
yards. with 46 competitions in SO
attempts. to pass the 1899 mark Of
414 yards set by Wes McAfee.
Cox, Davis Big Gamers.
Including his running plays. Cox
has accounted for a total of 889
yards in seven games, while Davis,
who has been slowed by leg in
juries. has totaled $50 yards
through the air and along the
ground.
Cox is reported as having an in
jured left arm that may hamper
his effectiveness tomorrow. He
probably will do a lot of playing
anyway, as his replacement Glen
Wild. has an injured leg. Cox
also must do the punting, as he is
the only player on the team with
an acceptable kicking average.
One important Duke player who
likely will miss the whole game is
Wingbacf Jack Friedlund. He's
been one Of the main cogs in
Coach Wallace Wade's, backfleld
and sports a rs average per carry.
Fred schoonmaker and Tom
Powers, the latter shifted from
the defensive unit. are listed as
wingbacks for tomorrow's game.
Last year. when the Duke
George Washington grid series
was inaugurated at Durham, the
Blue Devils romped to a 67-0
triumph.
G. w. Better This Year.
Nothing even close to that Is
expected tomorrow with the Colo
malls defenses somewhat tighter
and with more variety to their
running and passing attacks. The
greater strength in g. WIS attack
was shown last week when It
scored two touchdowns while
losing to Maryland. Only Michi-
gan State. aside from G. w., has
scored twice against the defense
minded Terrapins.
Davis is in shape to do a fair
share OF the ball carrying tomor-
row. which will take some of the
load of AL Du Goff, the Colonials'
high scoring fullback, and Charley
Jones, speedy wingback. His
passing also has appeared sharp

Some kinds of coral skele

Some kinds of coral skeletons have
special beauty of shape and coloring.
For this reason men have been
gathering them from salt water since
ancient times.
Red corals have been used most
widely for ornaments. The Gauls
Of long ago put them on spears
and helmets. The Romans used to
hang little pieces of coral around
the necks of their children; 1t was
believed that this would save boys
and girls from harm.
To the present day in Italy there
is q belief that a bit Of coral will
save a person from "tfe evil eye" :"
This is foolish, Of course, and Ital-
ians with better minds have given
up any such idea.

else would dictionaries, without

Here is second mystery: If chr

The truth is that err and erring

When corals of most kinds are

after corals have been kept out
Of the water for time. Red corals,
however, stay pretty for months and

Goren on Bridqe

The possession of a fifth trump
seems to have a strange psycholog-
tcal influence on the bidding tactics
of so many bridge players. That
fifth trump frequently gives them
q distorted view Of their actual
holdings and induces them to make
bids which, had they one trump less,
would never even remotely occur to
them. While it must be conceded
that with trumps it's the more the
merrier, nevertheless, unless there
are some very short suits in the
dummy, the fifth trump is, in many
cases, just surplusage.
In today's hand North dealt and
passed and South opened with one
heart in third position. Vests over
call of one spade was normal and
North felt that he must do some
thing drastic to compensate for his
previous pass. He therefore, jumped
to three hearts "a totally unjuSti-
fed bid. A free bid of two hearts
would have adequately described his
hand. Had that fifth heart been a
diamond it would never have oc-
CURED to him to Jump the bid. Yet
his hand would have been almost as
good. North, lacking even a single
ton, has hand that is not rich IN
playing strength. BY actual count
his holding comes to four playing
tricks which makes it worth one
good substantial raise, and that's
all!
South's decision to bid three no
trump with passing partner is
open to some question, but Is not
subject to any severe criticism 1t
is at this point that North made
his second error on the hand. He
should have been delighted that
partner was trying for nine-trick
game rather than 10, particularly
since he held an additional spade
stopper and since he himself held
q balanced hand. It should be le-
called that the $3.50 distribution
is the third member of the no-trump
triumvirate of which the two other
members are 1888 and 4-4-3-2.
It will be observed that even with
the guess of the trump situation
declarer was obliged to lose two
clubs, two diamonds and a spade
for q two-trick set. The moral of
the story it seems is, Don't lose
your head over an extra piece of
trump"
