SALEM, N. H., Oct. 49,
Jockey Tony DeSpirito's national
record of 800 winners is doomed
to be. beaten by Willie Shoe
maker. But Tony isn't letting
that stop him from turning in
his best riding of 1858. He has
won IL of 18 starts in the last

Fields in Albany, Calf, but he
now has 1856. only four away

Because Gil Turner is losing his

tender for Gavilan's title. Tur-

doubtful whether he can ever
make the 147-pound welter-
weight limit again.

until it's necessary" Manager
George KATE said yesterday.

to make 155 pounds for his To-

night, said he doesn't expect

"I'd never seen pro football
from so close BEFORE" the dark

hard. College ball was never like

Galiffa may have been i'm
pressed by what he saw, but he
couldn't have been scared. Even
pro football must look like child's
play to the officer who spent six
months on the Korean fronts
when the fighting was fiercest

If that comes about, then
Notre Dame, which won 80 in a
row before losing to Purdue in
1850. will have the chance to
stop the Spartans short of tying
the Irish mark.
This may be Notre Danes first
undefeated season since 1949,
although Coach Frank Leahy
and his aides won't admit any
such possibility.
A season of upsets, many of
them charged to abolition of the
tWo-platoon system, has sort of
shot Notre Danes schedule out
from under the standpoint of
records. Only North Carolina,
of all teams, is an unbeaten and
united Irish foe for the rest of
1858, but this doesn't mean, of
course, that Navy. Georgia Tech,
Southern Methodist and South
ern California can't, and won't,
be hard to handle.
A newcomer named Ray Le-
mex from Sioux City, Iowa,
whom Yves Fesler had thought
would make a fine boy for Min
nesota, and a returnee named
Frank Varrichione have meant
much to the Irish this fall.
Lemek is a starting guard. AS
a sophomore, Varrichione didn't
want to come back for fear he
wouldn't make the team. But he
was a standout performer

match any opposition.
