IRISH SEEK SEVENTH WIN
Notre Dame Fovored
To Beet SMU Today

DALLAS. Dec. 7 R.--Notre
Dame and Southern Methodist
square on today In one Of the
last games Of the college foot
ball season with nothing much
at stake except the desire Of
each team to make q better
showing than forecast.
Notre Dame already has done
so but victory over SMU would
give the Irish Q 7-S record that
would compare with most Of
the top college teams In the
country.
Southern Methodist also has
exceeded expectations but q
loss today would drop the
Methodists below q winning
record. winding them UP at
l-S-l.
It's the ninth game in q Sc
ries that started back in 1890
and Notre Dame holds q Ga
edge. SMU. however. beat
Notre Dame 1913 in the OPEN
ing game Of the 1856 season
and il was the push that sent
the Irish to q poor record. They
won only two games all last
year.
Notre Dame was q one-to-
two-touchdown choice over Q
Southern Methodist team that
could hope for success mostly
through the air. Whether Don
Meredith. the Mustang paSser.
could return to his sensational
showings against Arkansas and
Baylor was the main point.
Last week Meredith was
