HIALEAH STAKES first play of the game after the heavily favored Illini had kicked off to the Irish 40-yard line. It was a sweep around the enemy's left end, its stronger wing. The blocking was perfect and Colella, while not remark ably fast, cut properly, and went straight down the middle unmolested for 50 yards. Elmer Angsman, the other halfback, made the extra point with a dropkick and that was all the scoring the 45.000 who came out on an unseasonable Cold but sunny day to inaugurate Notre Dame's 57th football season, were to see. Full Of Excitement It was not, however, the only thrill of what was perhaps one of the most inept games of the new season but full of excite ment and revealing of the quality of the two teams.

Notre Dame, out-manned and displaying its inexperience on many occasions and in various ways, nevertheless won the game because it had Frank Dancowicz, an excellent field general except for one near disastrous occasion and today, a truly remarkable defensive player. The number of times he saved his cause from his position at safety, cannot be counted. Notre Dame produced no ether play in any way comparable to its opponent's measure, got very little out of its strongest weapon, the pass, and came within sight of the Illinois goal line only once more when Dancewicz passed to the Illini 20 in the second period only to lose the ball. Colella, the game's hero, carried the ball only three or four times altogether and the Irish did not produce anything much in the way of a running game, possibly because of seven fumbles, on six of which the ball was lost, and 10 penalties, but on the defense, Notre Dame's young men were noble and that is the real story of the game. Quarterbacking Poor For Illinois, with a bigger.

faster and far more experi enced line, and two or three runners greatly superior to all of Notre Dame's, was stopped five times inside the 10 yard line and twice inside the five. The mistakes of the Irish gave the Illini many opportunities and the plain fact is that the supposedly great Illinois line, permitted itself to be out- fought and pushed around in a scandalous way by a lot of, boys who were reported to bei and undoubtedly were in large measure, inexperienced in the ways of big-time football. i Moreover, the Illini, directed for the most part by Bill But-kovich, one of the ballyhooed stars of mid-western football. got from him a particularly bad job of quarterbacking. Illinois had, in Tom Zaborac and Ed Bray, a pair of runners who looked to be among the best, but the inability of the generalship to find and exploit the obvious weaknesses and physical limitations of the Irish defense, did not permit them to function.

Bray played only through the first half, re tiring then with an injured knee, but while he was there he nevr once threatened to get away for his specialty of going the whole distance. SUMMARY Gators Come Up With 26-13 Win Florida Frosh Backs Romp Through Ole Miss Forwards JACKSONVILLE, Sept. 29. (UP) An underdog University of Florida eleven romped through the U. of Mississippi line for a 26-13 victory tonight By BILL WALLACE Purses Upped $85,000 For '46 Race Schedule Six new $10,000 stakes will be run at Hialeah Race Course next winter and the value of three existing events will be increased, it was disclosed Saturday with the announcement of the track's 1946 GEORGIA roxnxrKD ikom page t-c screen for Reid, who hails and provided something of a from Hamilton, Ohio.

He snatched the ball out of the air at his own 11 and threaded his way back up the field some 20 yards with the aid of a cou ple of neat blocks. Then he swung into the clear and sprinted straight down the middle of the field to clorv land to give the contest a sen sational start. Takes Ball on 21 The big. rugged Clemson team, a little slow-footed perhaps compared to the speedy Georgians, was knocked back its haunches by the sudden turn of events and midway of the period Georgia's fast charging enabled Dan Edwards, left end, to crash through and partially block a punt by Bobby Gage which gave the Red and Black the ball at Clemson's 21. A couple of futile plays, one of which lost four yards, then Johnny Rauch wheeled a pass to Reid Moseley for 18 yards to the Clemson 5, whereupon Donaldson added 3 and Rauch bucked center for the second touchdown.

George Jernigan, who kicked the first point, missed this one and it was 13-0. With a cloudburst supplanting the drizzle, the 10,000 spectators were drenched, likewise the players and the soggy field made the ball almost impossible to handle. Clemson fought back doggedly, however, and twice came near scoring in the first half. The first time was near the end of the initial period when Clemson punted and Donaldson tried to nail it on the slippery turf at the two. He fumbled when hit by a Clemson tackier and the ball squirted into the end zone where the Tigers fell on it.

This looked like a sure-enough touchdown but officials ruled Georgia had clipped while the ball was in the air and the ball was given to Clemson at the Bulldog 10. They held for downs at the six. From there on to the intermission Georgia was in hot water as the ball changed hands frequently through fumbles. The big Bengals got the ball early in the second period when Georgia had a signal mix-up and the pigskin never got to the would be punter taking over at the Georgia 20. They whacked their way by degrees to the Georgia three where, however, the Bulldogs stiffened and hurled Quinn for a loss and assumed command.

Sun Comes Out When the teams returned to action after the half the sun shown brightly although the field remained a quagmire and the ball continued to emulate the eels slipperiness. Georgia racked up touchdown number 3 in the third period when Donaldson hustled a punt back 20 yards and added two at right tackle whereat Rauch began pitching the mud-laden ball, hitting Moseley for four and again for 13 and after Rabbit Smith lost four yards Donaldson whipped a 17-yarder to Moseley for the marbles. Jernigan kicked successfully and it was 20-1. The Athenians made a couple of bids in the final period, once when Stanley Nestorak dashed 55 yards but this was nullified by a Georgia fumble. Then they swept later to the Tigers' six where the latter held.

C. BEATS CALIFORNIA BERKELEY, Calif, Sept 29. (UP) Coach Jeff Cravath'a University of Southern California Trojans took another long step toward their third successive bid to the Rose Bowl here this afternoon as they toyed with the fumbling University of California Bears for a 13-2 victory before a crowd of 50,000 in Stadium. Led by hard-running, slip pery Bobbie Morris, who scored both USC touchdowns, the Southerners were in charge of things all the way. Morris hit pay dirt in the first quarter after a 41-yard drive, going over from the eight-yard line.

Walt McCormick kicked the extra point and the Trojans led 7-0. The other touchdown came in the second period with Morris taking a 34-yard pass from Verl Lillywhite deep in the end zone. There wasn't a Bear defense man within 20 yards of him. The two California points came in the third stanza when USC took the ball on its own six. From there Quarterback Jim Peterson was tackled behind the, goal line by Jack Klinger and Jack Lerond.

That was the only time the Bears presented much in the way of a threat to the Southern California defense. lars bowled over the opposition in handy style in scoring three touchdowns in the first quarter and continued to hold the upper hand easily the rest of the way. However, they were held scoreless in the second period, when second stringers could not start functioning properly. The Middies, showing remarkable versatility, sent seven different backs across for touchdowns. The scoring was done by Clyde Scott the hard-hitting runner from Smackover, Ark, and a star of the 1944 eleven: Bob Hoernschmeyer, ex Indiana ball carrier; Bob Kelly of the 1944 Notre Dame eleven; George Sundheim, a plebe from LaGrange, I1L; Stan Turner, another first year man from Highland Park, Halfback Johnny Welsh from Lans-downed and ambidextrous Tony Minisi, the two-handed passing star from last year's Pennsylvania team.

ARMY WINS, 32-0, OVER LOUISVILLE NAVY GETS OFF TO BRIGHT START 'South's Best' Aim Of Beach Club In Elaborate Setup By BILL WALLACE Miami Ilally News Onlf Vrtter The LaGorce Country club on Miami Beach is really going in for tennis in a big way-it was revealed yesterday by the tennis committee that they had signed up SP (A) 1C E. J. (Slim) Harbett of the U. S. navy as professional.

Slim expects to be out of the navy by Nov 1, and will start right in on the job of supervising the construction of the courts. He has planned great doings In his efforts to bring tennis back on the sports schedule. He will have daily classes for the youngsters of the members, and also plans on an amateur and pro tennis tournament this winter. Courts are now under construction and will be ready for play about Dec, 1. Plan Four Courts Plans call for three regulation and one championship court and next summer the committee will consider building two grass courts, which will be an innovation in South Florida.

The clay courts will be built of muck (called Del Ray muck). It never hardens, and with the addition of the Frank Feise tennis court mixture called Peniko, the LaGorce club will have the finest courts in the state. Slim Harbett comes to the famous club with a national reputation as an instructor of merit; he has spent most of his time in teaching the game of others and seldom enters into tournament play. Slim entered the navy in 1942 as an expert in physical training, and just to make sure he knew his stuff, they sent him to the Gene Tunney training school, where he spent eight weeks in learning how to make the navy fit and ready. Back in 1943 Slim was selected by the NLTA as a director and supervisor of tennis.

He has served as tennis pro at the Miami Biltmore Country club, the Bath club and the Roney Plaza. His former pupils who gained "national prominence are Doris Hart Colgate By 48-0 HAMILTON, N.

C. line. Army was thoroughly bottled up and steadily losing ground until Davis uncorked his 86-yard sprint down the sidelines off a reverse, with 90 seconds to go in the first period. After that, it was just another easy ball game for the Cadets. Army posted eight first downs to four, gained 370 yards to 171, and the 80 yards the Cadets forfeited in penalties came at inopportune moments to stymie downfield advances in the second and third periods.

Coach Earl Blaik held Arnold Tucker, regular quarterback, on the sidelines because of an injured shoulder, and Fullback Dick Walterhouse capably filled the vital post vacated by Capt. Tom Lom-bardo of last season's undefeated team. By JOE WEST POINT, N. Sept. 29.

(UP) Army's brilliant Glenn Davis sparked the national champion Cadets to a 32 to 0 triumph over Louisville Personnel Distribution Command as they opened the 1945 season before 9,000 at Michie field today. The All-America laft halfback not only counted two touchdowns and passed to another, but his 86-yard sprint in the waning seconds of the first quarter broke up a staunchly-contested struggle. Late in the second period, Davis accepted a 23-yard pass from Quarterback Dick Wal-terhouse and ran 25 more for the score which made it 19-0 at the half. Tom Mc Williams, former Mississippi State star, who punched through right guard from two yards out to post Army's second touchdown, made his debut as a Cadet an auspicious one with a five yard sweep around left end for another score in the closing period. With 18 seconds remaining, Davis and his All-America running mate, Felix Blanch-ard, were rushed into the ANNAPOLIS, Md Sept 29.

(UP) Navy's fleet of "Torpedo Boat" backs, darting down the gridiron with irresistible consistency, made a shambles of a trying" but tiring Villa-nova defense today for an easy 49 to 9 victory in the opening 1945 game for the Middies. It was an impressive victory in every way and in line with early season indications, placed Navy directly in line for potential national championship honors. In addition to the expected good showing of the backs, the game had a pleasing outcome in that an expert goal kicker was discovered by Coach Comdr. Oscar (Swede) Hag-berg in Jack Currence. The big substitute guard from Charleston, W.
