THE PITTSBURGH PRESS. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1944 THE V011MQE I 'i Experts Concede Irish Suits To a By Mullin By CHESTER L. SMITH Sports Editor Need More Than 'Luck' To Turn Back Middies NEW YORK, Nov.

3 (UP) The smart money boys. who seldom see football games but are well supplied with the "rigHt dope" on every major team, conceded today that it would take more than the "Luck of the Irish" for Notre Dame to defeat the resurgent Midshipmen of Navy. Underdogs for the first time in two years, Notre Dame was on the short end of a 7-5 price for tomorrow's meeting of the teams at Baltimore in the top football game of the season to date. The oddsmakers reasoned that the luck was with the Irish in their four period 13-7 victory over Illinois last week and that Navy, on paper, was a much stronger team than the Illini. break down to 672 and 386 respec- tively.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL pigskin during recent days, were on Set for Owls the upswing today with the report that Right-halfback Bob Kelly It was a year ago, to the day, that the Navy carried Notre Dame through a perilous first half in Cleveland's vast Municipal Stadium only to have the Irish open the seacocks in the last two periods and wash out the future skippers, 33 to 6. That score was no less decisive than it should have been. Navy was completely outplayed in the last 30 minutes.

The scene-shifters have been busy in the intervening months, and when they meet tomorrow in Baltimore in the week's top game, the Midshipmen will be recognizable, but the Irish won't. A lot has happened to them. There are no more Yonakers and Whites at large in the South Bend line. Angie Bertelli, who was bowing out at Cleveland, is only a memory and so is his understudy, Johnny Lujack. Bob Kelly is running where Creighton Miller ran, and Frank Dancewicz reads the recipe from which the is brewed.

But the Navy is bristling with even more manpower than before, so it's little wonder Annapolis has been set np as the favorite. It would be something Ed McKeever could write his old boss, Lt. Frank Leahy, about if the ND's had this one to check with their baggage when they pull but for home. There were some who thought the Navy could have done it a bit more smartly at Cleveland, although only the most hard-bitten salts entertained the idea that anything would have been enough in this instance. But the sideline sharps did wonder why Navy's attack, which seemed to be having considerable effect when it was thrust at the midline area between tackle and tackle, should have been sent so often outside the flanks where the Irish ends a great pair and the Irish halfbacks, fast and deadly tacklers, were meeting it on the line of scrimmage with apparently no trouble.

And there was some wonderment why Hal Hamberg, who is no Bertelli, to be sure, but does rank among the better pitchers, passed more often on the obvious down than when he was in a position to catch the defense off guard. That will have to be remedied tomorrow, for Notre Dame isn't the type of team that allows an opponent to get away with too many mistakes without suffering the consequences. The Middle line of Bramlett, Whitmire, Carrington, Chase, Gilliam and the two Martins, Ben and Jack, ought to more than hold its own. It stopped Georgia Tech's running plays and held Penn to a minus yardage, and so gave public testimony that what defensive weaknesses there are and there are some, else two games would not have been lost must be somewhere else. Penn made no advances of any kind worth mentioning, but Tech was able to throw its way to the victory just a hint that Dancewicz is the gent the men from Annapolis will have in their hair early and often.

In the Navy backfield, behind the whacking blocking of Quarterback Dick Duden, Navy can throw Bill Barron and Bob Jenkins either wide or at the tackles, and is able to launch a tough hombre Joe Sullivan of Pittsburgh on its spinners into the center. And she can call on backfield reserves in almost unbelievable numbers, but unfortunately she must tip her hand when she wants to pass, by shooting in Hamberg. The Arkansas Traveler got in only three plays against Penn, the coaches being careful to guard against further aggravation of a leg injury. Tod bad for the Navy that none of its four starting backs is better than an ordinary passer; it would provide a strategic lift that would be tremendous. If there is another match that draws on the imagination of any but provincial clients it will have to be Indiana's visit to Ohio State.

The Hoosiers have come fast in late October, the return of Hunchy Hoernsche-meyer (take that one with both eyes open, Mr. Typesetter) having given them a spark that was missing before, while the Bucks, at this writing, have established themselves as the leading all-civilian outfit of the season and have the gleam of the eagle in their eyes as they scent a Big Ten championship. One or the other could insure the title or no worse than a tie, although Ohio has a date with Illinois in the offing that could be a tear-jerker. Yale, under Howie Odell, is another eleven that comes in for a low bow not that the Blue is fit to be placed alongside Notre Dame, Ohio, Georgia Tech and the rest of the top-notchers but merely for the purpose of paying tribute to a crew that has taken what it had, played in its own backyard and performed well enough to remain undefeated. This Yale outfit cannot possibly-lift itself to the place where it will be talked about in the same breath with redoubtable Bulldog teams of the past, but it gets an A-plus for spunk and making the most of its tools.
