first place all season almost got to the top in this week's balloting among sports writeis from coast to roast A Navy victory would undoubtedly send Notre Dame into No 1 position in next week final

here Thursday shapes up as dead even -and as a natural Their first encounter played in Turlock earlier in the seasdn ended 0-0 Modesto went into that one slightly favored Since then each team has developed steadily For Modesto Dick Barth the fleet right halfback and pass catcher has returned to the lineup and is as good as er He was out of the first Turllck engagement Presence Will Help His presence will help lots Turlock will not be able to put three men on Dick Jarvis left half as it did the first time thereby blunting Modesto's offense If not checking it entirely For there will be Barth to watch -along with Pete Menghetti at fullback Coach Ernie Jorge has contrived more of a passing attack too since last they met and if Turlock gangs up to stop the line zing will come the passes to spread wide All things considered it is our belief Modesto is from 20 to 40 percent stronger offensively than it was when it ran into Turlock there Turlock I Better Too Of course Turlock is better too First there is Wayne Bergman quarterback a veteran and a terror of a runner Beserra fullback who was not In th best of physical condition on the occasion of the first same will Durodierf
