ALIBIS FOR
N0TRE DANE:

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 8-IR--
Notre Danes 1850 team which has
lost as many games as all of his
seven previous Irish elevens COM
bined might be the one Frank
Leahy will remember longest.
But not for the more obvious
reason it plunged from invincibility
to just another college team with
an even break in six games tc
date.
I'm the years to come, this pres
ent Notre Dame team probably viii
stand out most in my memory"
said Leahy in an interview today.
Against all odds, it has been one
of the most courageous 1 have
coached"
"As you know we are awfully
thin" Leahy continued. Say we
just have enc team. Yet, despite
injuries which have hampered vir-
tually all Of our key players, team
spirit has grown greater with each
game.
Jack Landry was our only
healthy running back against Navy
last Saturday. He had been hob
bling on an injured ankle for five
games. We had to rely heavily
upon him against a fine Navy
team. He didn't fail us and in
spired his teammates to break a
two game losing streak"
Notre Danes record for the sea-
son now includes wins ever North
Carolina, Tulane and Navy and
defeats by Purdue, Indiana and
Michigan State The Irish meet
Pittsburgh here Saturday, ano
then Iowa and Southern Califor-
mia away.
In his seven previous Irish
coaching seasons, Leahy's teams
won so, lost only three and ties
five. The teams of 1916 through
1949 went through 3S games with
out defeat. The string was snapped
this season at 80 by Purdue, 28-l4

 Before Mailman Gilman Lindsey can start on his daily round from Palmer (via the Matanuska Ex- pertinent Station) to Wasilla and return, residents along his route are going to have to prepare for him. And the first thing they're going to have to do is to erect a mailbox in which he can deposit the mail.
 But not any old mail box, perched on the handiest location on the farm, so far as the farmer is concerned, will do. There are definite rules and regulations set up by the United States govern ment on the proper type of rural mailboxes.
 Here's an outline of points Mrs Huntley would like rural mail

 2. Boxes should be placed about four feet from the ground, and should be grouped, whenever possible.
 3. The box must be legibly let tered with the owners name and box number. The lettering should be placed so that it is visible to the mailman as he drives toward the box.
 4. Boxes should be placed at locations where they will not cause the mailman to obstruct traffic when he is delivering the mail.
 5. Boxes should be placed fa1 enough away from the highway so that the mailman will be af. forded a turnout at least three lanes wide, when he drives up tc the box to deliver mail.
