The Iowa game of Nov. 11 at Iowa City is approaching sellout proportions, although tickets still are available now. The Navy-Notre Dame series, which has played to an average crowd fans over a 12- year period, started off with the Irish winning six straight games.

The Middies have won three out of the past six, however, to make the all-time record 9 to 6. Each team has won one game in Cleveland stadium, site of Saturday's contest. The Irish took the 1932 game, 12 to 0. Navy won, 10 to 6, in 1934, when each team scored a touchdown in the last two minutes of play. Navy stopped an Irish drive in the first quarter when Center Robertshaw cut through the Notre Dame line to pull down Bill Shakespeare, left halfback, inches short of a first down.

The Middies came and collected a field goal shortish later. It remained that way until near the end when Navy went ahead 10 to 0, on successful pass.

BY DAVE GALLUP. "We're blocking better, and showing general improvement, but I can't understand why we persist in giving things away." Thus did Elmer Layden, the Notre Dame football chief, express optimism and lamentation in one breath following his club's 20-19 squeak over Southern Methodist's Mustangs Saturday afternoon in Notre Dame stadium. A. week ago Coach Layden was a bit put out because the Irish had approached the scoring gates much oftener than they had gone through them, and had been fortunate to escape with a 17-14 victory over Georgia Tech. Three Out of Four.

Against the Mustangs, however, Notre Dame made good three out of four threats. A 15-yard penalty for holding helped frustrate the one which failed to crystalize. When bemoaning Notre Dame's persistence in "giving things away," Layden had reference to up for their touchdown in the fumble which, set the Texans the first two minutes, and the blocking of Harry Stevenson's punt, which left the door for their final one in the last two minutes. "We shouldn't allow those things in hoppeatie tones. to declared the thin man Rotund Line Coach Joe Boland, who was still a little quivery, revealed that Raymond Pope, the Southern Methodist center who blocked Stevenson's punt to give the Mustangs the ball on the Irish Layden, the Notre Dame football coach, Methodist game Saturday afternoon minute remained to play and Jack for his effort to place kick the extra Sanders failed, and Laden relaxed -Photo by Tribune Staff Photographer.
