Notre Dame and Army re-
sumo their rivalry after a 10
year hiatus and Michigan and
Michigan State battle in their
backyard feud today in the two
big college football games Of
the day.
The mythical national cham
pionship won't be at stake in
either game. since Oklahoma
isn't involved, but each is ex-
pected to draw at least 100000
spectators.
Terry Brennan, Notre Dame
coach, played in the last two
Army-Notre Dame games. so
this appearance at Philadel-
phia's Municipal Stadium
marks the renewal of an old
mountaineering.
Army Is Favored
Army is a 6-point favorite.
for no fewer than IS members
of the Notre Dame team have
contracted flu and Brennan
says his club has not quite re-
covered.
Coach Red Blaik of Army,
says his club is ready. Blaik
could stand a victory. for his
all-time record against the
Irish stands at 2-3-2.
A strange aspect of the game
is that the mass hysteria Of a
decade ago-one of the reasons
why the series was terminated
is missing even among the
student bodies of the two
schools.
After ALL" observed one
spokesman. 'today's Notre
Dame students and Cadets were
only 10 years old or younger
when the last game was
played"
