Notre Dame will end Army's three-year winning streak in Stadium tomorrow. Both Army and Notre-Dame have outstanding players on their rosters, both squads are excellently coached and the mythical national championship will be at stake. There likely Isn't a point difference In the physical condition of the squad, or in the combined ability of the two squads to play the game as it should be played.

But those lop-sided defeats of the past two years have been on every Notre Dame football mind since the start of practice and the gridiron world learned last Saturday In the Princeton-Penn upset what a truly inspired team can do. Getting specific, Notre Dame will win by a 28 to 21 score. Biff Teams Set For Important Engagements Several Tilts Rate Rating Aside From Army Notre Dame Game NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (P-It Is not quite, true that the football world will hold Its breath tomorrow while Army and Notre Dame rend one another limb from limb at Yankee Stadium.

Several other games will be played here and there, and some of them would, on an ordinary Saturday, be worthy of high billing. In the Southwest Conference, for Instance, the Rice Owls, who shattered the Texas Longhorns' undefeated record, tie into the Arkansas Razorbacks in a battle that might well settle the conference title. In the Midwest, Indiana's Hooslers, defending champions In the Big nine, invade Northwestern, which was edged out by Ohio State in last week's most spectacular scoring The big noise In the South will come from Alabama's visit to Louisiana State, a game which will jo far toward, settling the latter team's pretentions to the Southeastern Conference, crown.

Other games In. the Estinclude Brown at Yale, Colgate at Holy Cross, Harvard at Dartmouth, Syracuse at Cornell and Virginia at Princeton. Besides the Alabama-Louisiana State bell-ringer, the Southeastern Conference lists other good ones-ln Mississippi State at Auburn and Mississippi at Tennessee.

Nov. 8. U.R-The Florida 'Gators, perhaps the fight-ingest football team that never won a game, play the Oeorgla Bulldogs tomorrow and In the ordinary course of events they will go down by an awesome score under the flying cleats of Charley Trippi and his point-a-mlnute men. But the entire State of Florida Is aflame with one Idea: the Impossible could happen. The setting Is complete for one of those upsets that come along about every five years and provide food for football conversation for the next For one thing, Oeorgla goes into this game with a natural victory hangover after beating Alabama In the big test Wally Butts had prepared his Bulldogs for all season.

Set For Jacksonville For another, the game wiH be played' in' Jacksonville, Elav the rallying point for thousands of Florida football fans who have been denied a winning, team so long, they dimly remember when they had one. And (Bear). fledgling Floridans have come a long way from the collection of high school graduates and ex-OIs with foxhole grit still under their nails who fumbled and stumbled In the team's opening loss to Mississippi. True, they still havent won a game. But they fought Tulane to a standstill before losing out in the second half; took a bad beating from a Vanderbilt crew that was far ahead of thenv and battled Miami and North Carolina to a rousing finish before they were outscored.

During this rugged period of schooling Wolf developed the sev enth best passing attack the nation and came up with the outstanding pass catcher in the country In the country. End Brouizhton Williams who called Brute for nothing. Had Off Week Wolf, who was brought to Florida this season under a mandate from verstty to turn out a winning team, had an off-week to perfect wbat ever dans he had for Georgia while the Bulldogs were busy with Ala frptrm The nossibilitv of an upset by Florida has a parallel in another Southeastern Conference game over in Memphis. where the big Tennessee Vols play a Mississippi Rebel eleven that has suddenly found It can play football. The Rebels led Louisiana State most of the way before losing 34 to 21 last week while Tennessee waa outscor- ing North Carolina 20 to 14.

Memphis Is a lot nearer to Mississippi home town at the other end of Tennessee. Unscathed Oeorgla and Tennessee, beaten once outside the conference, pace the Southeastern Conference1 field wih; tww victories apiece. Other conference tilta tomorrow are Mississippi State-Auburn in Birmingham and Louisiana State-Alabama In Baton Rouge.

Nov. 1 (U.ft-A resurgent Mississippi team, burdened with five losses but improving with each passing week, today eyed the trying ordeal of facing Tennessee's powerhouse Saturday with the hope that one ace-ln-the-hole Charley Conerly might fash-Ion a stunning upset. A brilliant triple-threat back oa a losing ball club, Conerly will be the standard bearer for an all-out Ole Miss attempt to smash the bowl march of the Volunteers.

Underrated Back Fans and writers who have seen the Jttrpound Claxksdale, Miss, Junior in action consider him the most underrated back in the Southeastern conference. Give him Georgia's line, the more enthusias tic say, and he will give Charley Trippi a run for his money. The Conerly boosters back, up their plaudit with Conrely's Im pressive statistical record this year, compiled on a team which has won but two games. One of the best punters the conference, Conerly has kicked 44 times for an impressive 42-yard average, aocording to University figures, despite having three boots blocked. The rifle-accurate Conerly arm has completed 43 passes In 85 attempts for an average of .506 and 10.4 yards per completion.

A true triple-threat back. Conerly la an elusive and very smart runner. His lanquid running style is deceivtng and he much faster than appearance indicates. Defenses which scattered to "stop Conerly aerial assaults have found their lines, Infiltrated, by dangerous runner. Against Arkansas.

Conerly picked up 64 yards in 12 tries, led the Rebel victory thrust to within striking distance and then passed for a touchdown and a surprise 8-7 Mississippi triumph. Starred Against LSU He scored twice against LSU and held the Tigers on the brink of a stunning surprise loss until he faded under the terrific pounding he took as Ole Miss offensive spearhead. Lean but tough, Conerly 1s ae- knocks. He collected multiple bruises and abrasions in 1942 as Ole Miss lone scoring threat. His nose was broken In the LSU game that year.

He entered- the Matter Corpf af-'-ter the 1942 season and fought three campaigns as a corporal. Including bloody Iwo Jim a. Returning this year, Conerly took up his burden and once more became a target for hard-hitting linemen whe believe "In the old football adage that the best way to stop a dangerous passer is to knock him down every time he throws. Coach Red Drew will gamble on Conerly'g kicking, passing and running to give Mississippi its first victory in history over a Tennessee team Saturday. He may do just that If he can survive the terrific beating usually handed out by Tennessee lines which have never had a reputation for gentle handling of passers.

NEW Nov. 8. W-The two foremost contenders for the mythical national college cham pionship honors pitched camp on the outskirts today while an ln vadlng horde of thrill-seekers des cended on the big town for the Army and Notre Dame, football g-me. With their respective adherents pouring in by the thousands to await the opening of Yankee Sta diura's gates tomorrow, both teams ere poised for their 33rd meeting after scheduled light workouts. Fans engaged in a last roud of speculation, asking mainly; How threatened rain would affect the outcome, by impeding the Formation operations of both teams, by slowing up Army's fleet Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis, by contributing to fumbles that could tip the result either way.

Whether Notre Dame's ace- Johnny Lujack would play fully, recovered from Wednesday's ankle Injury. Whether the absence of Army's Herschel Fuson would throw out of gear the Cadets' backfleld precision. In Army's favor, psychologically, was the Impetus of 25 victories stretching back to the beginning of -the 1944 -season Notr-Daroe had the revenge motive as its psychological weapon the urge to wipe out those 107 points Army ran up in whipping the Irish In the last two clashes. Army's physical assets Included a team of 60-mlnute players, eight of whom have, operated together the better part of three years. Against this thin spread of talent, Notre Dame boasted a big, able squad three deep at most positions and boasting eight hard-hitting most equal caliber.

In short, the. Irish were counting on quantity in both line and back-field material, while Army banked en strength as one good unit The out-of-towners among the 74,000 who will sit in on the bijj show were arriving by rail, plane and auto and those who came without hotel reservations were out cf luck.

8. MV-Football fans apparently haven't heard much about it. but a recent anti-boolng -of -officials order issued by the Pacific Coast Conference presents interesting possibilities if rigidly enforced. The order, issued rather quietly, declared, in part, "If rooting tions yell or count off the yards as an official steps off a penalty, the official will keep on stepping off more penalty until the yelling or counting stops." Inquiry at the office of Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt's office brought a cautious response, "No comment at all." But one anonymous conference member admitted knowledge of the order, and explained it was aimed at breaking up "undignified hooliganism." He declined to identify any college or colleges guilty of "undignified hooliganism." 12th and Gurrtee A I these regulars will probably be.
