Oct. 31 Plagued by the ineligibility of three lettermen, Tennessee's cross countrymen have a date with North Carolina's defending Conference champions here Saturday, buti Coach Dale Hanson is by no means entertaining illusions of victory. Runners-up for the Southeast ern loop championship last yearj and always a threat at tne iin-ish line, the Vols have three wins to their credit this season, over Mississippi State, Alabama and Emory, in that order. Carolina's Harriers, having flashed their trump cards on Georgia Tech and barely edged Duke last Wednesday by 20 to 36, will depend on the speed of Jimmy Miller, Jack Milne, Alvin Smith and Sam Magil to keep their unblemished record intact. The Tar Heels' remaining four startes will be selected from freshmen Frank Hooper, Chuck Horty, Halstead Holden, John Bristow, Mark Burnham, Jim Hunt and Julian Mackenzie.

Leading the Vol runners will be Captain H. B. Reed, number three on last year's squad, and Louis Schneider, fourth ranking Ten-nessean in '46. A possible dark horse is seen in the person of Forrest Ross, Vol freshman and two- mile record holder at Knoxville.

The minor league totals, announced today by George M. Trautman, president of the National Association, far exceeded the previous high turnstile mark oi 32,704.315 established last year. Although the gold rush could be attributed partly to the addition of 10 new leagues in 1947, the upward surge appeared due principally to a general increase in fan interest.

International and Havy Primes Big Guns For Irish Crowd Of 85,000 Seen For Cleveland CLEVELAND, Oct 31 (JP) Navy's badly-battered footballers will fire their biggest guns tomorrow at the nation's biggest target, top-ranked Notre Dame, but practically no one believe the much-mauled Middies win be able to shoot any holes in the invincible Irish. However, attracted by the glamor of the match and the ever-present chance that there's an upset in the making, a crowd of about 85,000 will hang over the edges of Cleveland's municipal lakefront stadium as the two clubs battle. Notre Dame has rolled over four foes in fairly easy fashion, while the Middies have a victory, a tie and three defeats to show for the season's efforts. That's why the betting boys have installed the Irish as 21-point favorites.

Coach Tom Hamilton of Navy said he would have his crew working out on the stadium's cleat-torn turf this afternoon, following an all-night trip from An napolis, but Frank Leahy's Irish aren due until tonight and will see the gridiron for the first time just before the opening whis tle at 2 p.m. (E.S.T.)
