Feeney, Ex-Irish Grid Star,
indianapolis Mayor, Dies
BY the Assoeioted Press

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 13.-Al-
bert G. Feeney, mayor of Indian
apolis and center of the Notre
Dame football team that upset
Army in the first meeting of the
two schools in 1918, collapsed and
died of a heart attack yesterday
on his 58th birthday.
Feeney, often called Indian
apolis' most eligible bachelor
slumped and died almost instantly
after speaking at the Daughters
of Isabella annual Communion
breakfast in the Lincoln Hotel.
Death was attributed to clot
in a blood vessel of the heart.
Feeney played on the Notre
Dame squad, including Knute
Rockne and Gus Dorais, that first
demonstrated the full potential
tiles of the forward pass. He re-
mained a close friend of Rockne
after the latter began his coach
ing career at Notre Dame and
for a time operated a brokerage
Office for Rockne in South Bend
A Democrat, he was elected to
a four-year term as mayor in
1948. He had been chairman OF
the Indiana Board of Public
Safety and served two terms as
Marion County sheriff.

In gaining ties Louisville and
North Carolina earned much ac-

The offensive might of Army

DISMISSED of Boudreou
Poorly Done, Veeck Says

CLEVELAND, Nov. 13 fP.-Bill
Veeck returned to Cleveland to-
night for his first stay since he
sold the Indians. He had this to
say about the firing of Lou
Boudreau as manager:
Undoubtedly, it was deemed
the wisest move. but I'm not so
sure 1t was done in the wisest way.
II Roudreau had been notified of
the change a few weeks ago he
might have been in a better posi-.
tlon to get another job. At any
rate, I'm sure it'll all turn out for
the best. I think AL Lopez (the
new manager) will do a first-rate
job

Heretofore an interesting team
even in defeat. the Redskins
weren't that yesterday as they
dropped their seventh straight
decision to the Philadelphia
Eagles. $50. before the seasons
largest turnout of 29,407 fans at
Griffith Stadium.
The crowd waited in vain for
something to cheer as Steven Van
Buren g. Co. mangled the Grip
pied Redskins in an affair that
was strictly no contest. 1t was
apparent after the first series of
downs, in which Charlie Justice
failed to gain in two tries and
Bill Dudley lost a yard, that the
Redskins would run poor second
to the defending champions. The
losers had only one scoring chance
and failed to make good.
Reagan Thinks Fast.
But the play that broke the
Redskins back and turned COM
paratively respectable defeat into
a rout was the result Of quick
witted improyising on the part Of
an old gaffer named Frank
Reagan. The Eagles were lead
ing, 1910. at the start OF the sec
ond half when it happened.
The Redskins kicked of to the
Eagles and stopped 'em with a
net gain Of / yard on three
downs when Reagan. playing the
game strictly according to the
book, dropped back to punt. Ed
Berrang, Redskin left end, leaped
across the line as the ball was
snapped and drew a bead on
Reagan. With a choice between
having the punt blocked or run
ming the ball, Reagan took of,
dipping around the oncoming
Berrang, and sprinted 40 yards to
the Redskins 31-yard line before
the home forces brought him
down.
From there it was comparative
ly simple for Frank Ziegler and
Steve Van Buren to prod the pig
skin the rest of the way, Van
Buren Juggling 1t the last II yards
for the touchdown.
Philadelphia later scored two
more touchoowns and Cliff Pat
ton. who opened the scoring with
a field goal, gave an encore, but
to all intents and purposes the
game was decided by Reagan's
smart thinking and nimble feet.
After the game Coach Greasy
Neale tacitly admitted the Eagles
will need help to catch the Cleve-
land Browns and get into the
championship play-off next
month. Neale said he thought
the Redskins might lick the
Browns once, if they used the
proper defense, or one he believed
would stop Cleveland. But Greasy
spoke without knowing the Red
skins battered physical condition.

lost six games and tied one for
the poorest showing of any Bier

Rivalry Of 24'years
Drew SeIIout Crowds
But Few Tar Wins
By Froncis Stonn

Navy's suicidal football schedule
is being softened and one Of the
major prospects is the ending Of
the Midshipmen's long rivalry with
Notre Dame.
Capt. Howard Caldwell, director
of athletics at the Naval Academy.
admitted today he was working
on a more moderate slate for the
Midshipmen, but denied that
Notre Dame was involved.
Commenting on the report that
Navy and the Irish will terminate
a series begun in 1927, Capt. Cald-
well said: "As far as the director
of athletics is concerned, there's
no basis for the rumor. I will deny
that I was doing anything about
terminating our series with Notre
Dame"
Calls Report Surprising.
Edward (Moose) Krause, ath-
letic director at the South Bend
institution, declared the report
was a surprise to him. 1--WE had
nice visit with Navy officials in
Cleveland November A." he said,
"and there was no indication that
we wouldn't continue our series.
We had set a date for the 1851
game. but the site had not been
decided upon"
Reports persisted. however, that
football relations between Navy
and Notre Dame would be severed,
perhaps by 1852 and possibly by
next year. The uninterrupted
rivalry, while financially advan-
tageous to both schools. has been
lop-sided, with Navy a winner
only four times in "a games.
The Midshipmen won in 1888 by
TO, repeated in 1884 by 1876, and
prevailed in 1887 in another TO
struggle. Their last and most de-
cisive triumph came in 1914, when
most civilian colleges were play
ing 4-Fs and II and 18 year olds.
Navy won, 32-13.
Although pre-dated by the
Princeton. Penn, Columbia and
Army games, Nays annual battle
with Metre Dame generally has
been regarded as second in i'm
portance only to the classic with
West Point. "A meeting between
the Midshipmen and Irish invari-
ably was a sellout.
Mixed Reaction Likely.
Termination OF the rivalry would
be viewed with mixed feelings by
Navy men, many of whom en-
braced the policy Of playing the
toughest teams in the Nation. re-
gard1ess of outcome. On the other
hand, many supporters have OBJ
jected to what they termed sui
cidal schedules.
WED rather lose to Notre
Dame than beat Davidson!" was
a familiar chant of the we'll-play-

yates and Midshipmen alike.
! were mocking Army with the
reference to Davidson. When West
Point dropped Notre Dame from
its schedule. Midshipmen taunted
the Cadets from across the field
by displaying banners reading,
When Do You Play Vassar?"
But Navy hasn't beaten Army
since 1943 and. since the war year
of .1945, the Midshipmen have
won only six victories while losing
"a and tying three. BY contrast,
West Point has won So times while
losing only twice and tying four

Outlook Pretty Dark.
Harry Gilmer, displaying too
much courage for his. own good
running the ball. came in at
quarter to relieve the ailing Baugh
yesterday. When he left, the job
was turned over to Nick Sebek,
and it was painfully apparent
that the rookie from Indiana won't
be much help to the team this
season. Nick tried three passes
and two were intercepted.
The Redskins apparently have
no plans to remedy the situation,
other than to hold Dudley ready
to step in at quarterback in an
emergency. But with their present
meager supply of healthy talent,
facing two games with the on
coming Browns and one each with
the bruising Pittsburgh Steelers-
who have beaten them once this
year-and return game with
the improving Baltimore Colts,
the Skins seem doomed to finish
the season with an 11-game losing
streak.
A tumble by Justice, recovered
by Joe Muha. paved the way for
the Eagles first touchdown. It
came on pass from Tommy
Thompson to Zielger, who got
