First off. it winds up a modern series completely dominated by trje Irish, who won seven straight after an opening scoreless tie in1 1937 That's incentive enough for one of the best Uhni squads in years! to play for keeps. But on top of that, there are some Illini parti-! sans who claimed the Irish1 roughed up Buddy Young when, he was a freshman in 1944. i At any rate, Young ran 74 yards for a touchdown the first i time he handled the ball and then sat dazed on the bench during the second half as Notre Dame rallied to win. 13-7.

tarantafi 13. Fwntvan 14, Watte a. Zale Retains Middie Crown Flattens Graziano In One Minute, 43 Seconds Of Sixth By SID FEDER YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK, Sept. 27. (IP) Tony Zale, every inch a champion, came back from the verge of a knockout tonight to flatter the mighty-punching Rocky Graziano.

In the sixth round of a blood-and-thunder brawl and retain his world middleweight championship. Zale weighed 160; Graziano 154. Floored once himself, his face a bloody mass as the dynamiter from New York's Lower 'Eastside turned loose his famed "Rock-a-bye punch," the one-time Indiana steel mill hand caught up with the challenger midway of the sixth to drop him with a lightning left hand and put him away for keeps at one minute 43 seconds of the sixth session of their scheduled 15-rounder. It was the second knockdown of the fight for Rocky the Rock, in as vicious and bloody a brawl as hs been seen in any ring. But this second time, apparently softened up by the body bombs that are Tony's specialty, he couldn't make it to his feet again.

The Standings American League (Yesterday's Besults) Frnka Makes Debut As Tulane Mentor NEW ORLEANS. Sept. VI (JP) The biggest crowd ever to see a regular-season football game in the South was. forecast today for tomorrow's clash between Alabama's high-powered Rose Bowl champions and Tulane's untried Greenies. "Well exceed 60,000," said Horace Renegar, the head man in Tulane athletics.

The previous Southeastern high was the throng of 52,883 which attended the Tulane-Louisiana State University game last season. Tomorrow's game marks tli debut of Henry Frnka as coach at Tulane, and the schedule-makers handed him a thankless task in lining up Alabamt for the opener. The suave coach who took Tulsa teams to five successive bowl engagements has been trying to develop an eleven from the leavings of a 1945 aggregation which won only two games, returned veterans and a few likely freshmen. "We're as near ready as we can get for a team like Alabama," said Frnka. "After all, with Man-cha, Gilmer, Tew, Hodges, Self and Cook all potential All-Americans this year staring us in the face, it would be almost impossible to do enough.

"But the coaches and the boys here at Tulane have worked a hard as possible, and despite it all, the spirit is still good." Alabama Coach Frank Thomas seemed satisfied with his efforts this week to iron out the rough spots exhibited in the Tide's 26 to 7 triumph over Furman last week. He let the players take it comparatively easy for the past couple of days. The 'Bama team was scheduled to arrive tonight Cadets Set For Invading '11' Fenton To Throw Fast Backs In Fray The Starke University School ill open it 1946 football season tonight in Cramton Bowl, playing the Calhoun County High School of Oxford, Ala. Kickoff will be at 8 o'clock. After three weeks of strenuous training, Coach Jimmy Fenton, Cidet mentor, stated the grid-sters are in fine fettle, and will make a good showing in their debut to local fans.

Sam Barrett, right halfback, has been out with a bad ankle the past week, and unless it shows improvement, Fenton may start Bobby Donahue at this position. No other injuries have cropped up and the entire first team may start, with Barrett getting in a little action. Montgomerians will have, an opportunity to see Starke's contribution to the high schools' all-state halfbacks of 1945, Jimmy Cameron. This flashy, high1 stepping runner led in scoring last season, and has added a few pounds of weight, which will give him more power this Fall. His punting has been excellent, and was getting off some long ones in yesterday's practice session.

Jimmy will hold down his left half post tonight. Alex Carrothers, newcomer to Starke's team, will be at the fullback slot, with Jack Brunson, quarterback, and either Donahue or Barrett at right half. Captain "Red" Watts, left end. will bolster the Cadets' chances with his weight and experience. John Corbet will be at the other wing.

Starke will be weak at center and tackles, but Charles Cox makes up his much needed weight with aggressiveness. Byron Smith, letterman, will be at left tackle, while the other tackle position will be filled by Pat Cummings or DeWitt Perrett Both are first year men. Perrett scales around 250. Billy Cooper will be at right guard, with L. T.

Farris at the left guard post. Oxford High will bring a light but spirited eleven here, with Capt. Billy Hardwick, veteran end, expected to show some of the finest high school punting this year; Hardwick has played some good football in the two games they have played this year, and should be ready to play his best tonight. Coach Miles of the Yellow Jackets praised the work of the twins in his backfield, Ned and Ted Hughes. Ned will play fullback while Ted will be at left half.

Miles formerly played at Howard College. Advance tickets will be sold at May and Green and Pake-Ste-phenson until 5 o'clock this afternoon, when they will be moved to the Bowl. Admission will be 60 cents for adults, and 30 cents for children, both advance and at the Bowl. Hank r-o Twirls Two-Hitter ST. LOUIS, Sept.

27. (JP) Ed Waitkus' line single to center scoring Stan Hack from second bas? gave the Chicago Cubs a 1-0 lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and Howie Pollet tonight in the third inning of their series opener. Pollet would have had more trouble in the third inning if he hadn't picked off Hank Borowy who opened with a single. Hank followed with a single past Whitey Kurowski to left field, took second when Lou Stringer walked and came home on Waitkus' poke to center.

Borowy gave the Cards only two hits, both singles, in the first three innings. CHICAGO ST. LOUIS ab.h.a.a.

Betting Boss Declares Cards Have Best Chance ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27. (JP) World Series odds anounced today by betting Commissioner James J. Carroll gave the.

St. Louis Cardinals a better chance than the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox will be odds-on favorites against either National League team. If the Cardinals win the pennant, they will be 2-1 and the Red Sox 2-5. This means that on the Cards would win $2, while it would-take a $5 wager on the Red Sox to win $2.

Should Brooklyn win, the Dodgers would be 11-5 and the Red Sox 5-13. In other words, $5 placed on Brooklyn would win $11 and $13 backing Boston would win $5. Carroll declined to give odds on the tight National League flag race. St. Louis 3-7, Chicago 3-1 Washington 4.

Jim Wilson, of the Air University, Maxwell Field, led a group of winners into the semifinal round of the AAF "World Series" of Golf championship tournament yesterday at Maxwell Field, defeating S-Sergt.

Ralph N. Frank, of Ferndale, 5 and 4. A resident of Bowling Green, Ohio, Wilson, 28-year-old West Point graduate, and a veteran of 50 missions in- combat, blasted his way over the Air University greens to a sub par 66 close on the heels of the course record of 61 made by Frank Stranahan last year. The City of Memphis, lost its chance to have one of its fair-haired sons with the AAF title, when Pfs. Gene Frase and Lieut.

R. Terry lost in the quarter final round of play. Red-headed Frase blazed his way over the course for a par 72 but his opponent Capt. H. Mosely, of Fairfield, Suisons turned in a card of 69 to win, 2 and 1.

Maj. James Chasey, of Mather Field, and a resident of San Antonio, upset the other Memphisite, Lieut. R. Terry, 2 and 1. In the last match in the cham pionship flight, Lieut.

Ed Jones, of Minneapolis, gave another dig play of golfing, turning up with a 70, 2 under par to take the measure of Sergt. Robert Albright, 4 and 3. Saturday's semi-final round will find Wilson matched with Capt. Mosely and Jones meeting Major Chasey. Finals will be played off Sunday afternoon.

Navy's 55th Grid Edition On Display ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 27. (JP) Navy will exhibit its 55th Football Edition tomorrow against Villanova College's Wild-cast, and there are some who think the Middies may display a lot more strength than expected in earlier pre-season calculations. It will be the third game for Villanova, which defeated King's Point Merchant Marine, 40-6, then bowed to powerful Army last week, 35-0. A capacity crowd of 22,000 in Thompson stadium will greet the return of Capt.

Tom Hamilton, Navy head coach who skippered the Middies for three seasons 10 years ago. Yeslel4a)'s Aaewer 39. Sacrea picture 41 First lcttei (Arabian) 43.

(JP) Bob Feller, Iowa fireball pitcher of the Cleveland Indians, struck with a quick-breaking curve to day to fan six Detroit batsmen in five innings and equal Rube Waddell's 42-year-old modern major league record of 343 strike outs in a single season.

The Indians overcame a four-run deficit to win the game 9 to 8. Feller, who entered the game in the fifth inning, relieving 23 year-old Bob Kuzava. fanned five of the first eight men to face him but it was not until the ninth inning that Jimmy Outlaw went down swinging at the pitch that put Rapid Robert in the record book. With a three and two count on Hank Greenberg a moment later Hank tipped the next pitch and the ball caromed off catcher Jim Hegan's mitt. Had he hung onto it Feller would have got his record.

But Hank walked on the next pitch and Skeeter Webb and Bob Swift hit ground balls for the final two outs of the game. Needing one more strikeout to achieve the mark at which he has been shooting by working ou of turn, Feller may be given a chance to pitch long enough tomorrow to put Waddell's 1904 mark into discard. Even if he doesn't pitch Saturday he will start the last game of the season Sunday against Detroit's southpaw ace, Hal Newhouser. CLEVELAND OgTROIT ab.H.e.a. ab.h.a.a.

St. Marys (Calif) at eVaahingten Idaho at Stanford Cellogo of the Pacific at Oregon Lanier Faces Rams Tonight Poets Invade Magic City For Second Game Fresh from a crushing 54-0 win over a die-hard Luverne eleven, the Sidney Lanier Blue Torrent will converge tonight on Birmingham for a cleat-tangling exposition with a high-touted Ramsey High School team. The boys clad in blue will be out this time to avenge an agonizing 57-0 defeat suffered last season at the hands of the Magic City squad. Plenty can be anticipated from little Eddie Salem, 170-pound All-State Ramsey halfback, who proved to be a tnorn deep in the Poets' side last year. Herman Bohorfoush, another stalwart of the Ram crew of 1945, returns again this year and with these two in the lineup, Lanier can expect an abundance of trouble.

To offset what Ramsey has to though, the Poets have the vaunted Chauncey Wood, Dewey Renfroe, and Clarence "Butch" Avinger to "tell it to Ramsey" come game time tonight. Big "Butch" stood out brilliantly against the Luverne team in his line-plunging chores and kicking duties, and it might well be this hefty lad who will turn the tide against omnipotent Ram sey. Avinger was the only con sistent ground gainer for Lanier in the opening contest. Edmund Wilson, who subbed for Avinger in the Luverne game, will probably get the okeh from Coaches Jim Ryba, Jim Angelich, and Nick Ardillo for starting position at right halfback. However, little Jackie Hamel, still ailing with a bad leg, may get to see much action.

Coach Jim Ryba said, "the first win over Luverne last Friday gave the boys the confidence they needed before opening up with a team like Ramsey. We're gunning for the tilt, and the boys feel sure of bringing home another victory." Probable starting lineups and weights: LANIER Pas.

More than 12,000 spectators saw the Plainsmen, led by their ace tailback, Travis Tidwell, score once in the second and again in the fourth quarter. Tidwell tallied both six-pointers. The first Auburn- touchdown came in the second' period when Bill Wilson pitched a beautiful 45-yard, pass to Tidwell to the eight. Then on the third play Tidwell smashed across. A pass from Tidwell to McClur-kin for 33 yards set up the second Auburn marker.

The pass play carried to the 17, where on three plays Tidwell ran across from the eight. Those ever troublesome Southerners sparked by a nifty little left halfback named Bennic Ray Nobles, ex-Miss. State star, gave the Tigers a run for their money. Nobles intercepted one of Shiver's passes and scampered 33 yards to score for the Mississip-pians. And when the Southerners were trailing 13-6, Joe Latham romped 50 yards to the six -yard line on a quick play.

Wells smashed across for the touchdown. Auburn displayed plenty of power with their offense but lacked timing and precision. Their linemen played good defensive ball and the Southerners didn't pierce the forwards with any continuous gains. Auburn met with some stiff competition in the first quarter and were held on two attempted marches for scores. Bull Cochran ran 30 yards on a long drive that carried from Auburn's 34.

Bill Wilson knifed through on a beautiful off tackle play for 14 yards to the Southerners' eight. But four plays brought only six yards as the Southerners' line held. The Tigers, with Travis Tidwell leading the offense, drove down to the Mississippians' 14 where they bogged once more. Tidwell threw three passes to Kovasic, Langler and Waddail on the drive. Carl Voyles' Orange and Blue eleven managed to smash the Southerners' stout defense midway the second period.

The Tigers started from theif own 47 when Tidwell returned Nobles' kick 15 yards. The Tigers' passing combination crossed up the opposition on the next play and Wilson faded back and threw a pass to Tidwell, who caught it on the run and galloped 45 yards to the Southerners' eight. Tidwell tossed to Gendusa for two yards. Brouse smashed through for four yards to the two. Then Tidwell crashed ever left guard for the touchdown.

Cochran kicked the extra point with Tidwell holding the ball. Mississippi Southern threatened in the closing moments of the second period. Tidwell's partially blocked kick was recovered on the Auburn 32. Well ran nine yards, then LeGros got four and a first down. Well repeated with a five-yard run to the 15.

LeGros got four but the Southerners drew a 15-yard penalty for hold ing back to the il. Mississippi Southern's eleven, who had not lost a game since 1940, brought out their scoring machine in the third period. Bennie Ray Nobles, fleet-footed halfback who was second string tailback for the Mississippi State Maroons last year, intercepted one of Wilson's passes deep down in Auburn territory and galloped for a touchdown. He took the ball on the 33 and ran down the sideline to score standing up. Sims' attempt for the extra point went wide to the right.

Auburn led 7-6. This quick touchdown- must have irritated the Tigers because they came roaring back to score on six plays from the kiekoff. Tom Lucia romped back to the Auburn 18 from the kickoff. Wilson picked up two, then Tidwell faded back and pitched to Co-Captain McClurkin for 33 yards to the Mississippians' 17. Cochran cracked into the middle for eight yards.

Then Tidwell skirted right end for the score. Cochran's try for the point was no good. Trailing 13-6, the Southerners opened fire again early in the fourth period. Fullback Joe Latham from Lawley, bulled There Just Ain't No Justice Nowhere Now AUBURN. MAINE, Sept Tom Menneally.

Ben Hogan Takes Lead In Dallas $10,000 Open Golf DAILY CROSSWORD alter a six-hour train ride. Tomorrow's crowd will contain several thousand persons who want another look at Ala-bama's great passer, Harry Gilmer.

There'll be plenty of Tide supporters on hand. Renegar estimated that 15,000 persons from Alabama are coming for the game.

The forecast is for 80-degree weather, and the meteorologists said the stadium may get a- wetting from one of the predicted scattered showers.

Sept. 27.

(JP) Discussion of President Truman's presence at tomorrow's Oklahoma-Army football game was completely overshadowed today by the concern that Doc Blanchard, two-time All-America fullback, might not be able to play for the Cadets. Blanchard received a severely bruised leg in the first quarter of Army's game with Villanova last Saturday and has been in the hospital ail week for treatment. Coach Earl Blaik said he would not know until about noon tomorrow if Blanchard would be able to start. Blaik said that if the 205-pound battering ram could not start, Herschel (Ug) Fuson, first string center a year ago, would be shifted from right half to the plunging spot. Fuson was moved into the backfield two weeks ago when Shorty McWilliams resigned from the Academy to play for Mississippi State.

Elwyn (Rip) Rowan, letterman substitute, will play right half in place of Fuson, if the latter is shifted to full Because the Cadet Corps will parade for the President before the game, the kickoff including 1,300 from Norman, Okla, who came by two special trains, are expected to watch the invasion of the Big Six team. Army will be seeking its 20th straight triumph.

18 if you have a room. Practically all sleeping quarters within a 100-mile radius of the city have been booked for the weekend of the gridiron classic. In addition to the football game, the Knoxville $10,000 Open gold tournament is scheduled for the same weekend. Inquiries to hotels from Chattanooga to Johnson City reveal many surrounding towns are hanging out the "no accommodations available" sign for the October weekend. Lang Gray, an official of the Tennessee Hotel Association, reported today both of his hotels here in Chattanooga are completely sold out for the Oct.

19 weekend. "All our tourist courts near here have been reserved for the game too," he said. In Gatlinburg practically all hotels were booked two months ago, and there are no vacancies in Lenoir City. A Johnson City hotel manager reported he had a few rooms which would be available the night of Oct. 19, but "very few for the preceding night." Probable Pitchers Nltw YORK.
