at ia banquet" sponsored bv the The Coming Trouble As the time approaches for the awful test between Army and Notre Dame in the Yankee Stadium on Saturday, the tensipn mounts, 'with fevered imaginations running apace. One fevered commentator, in noting that not a ticket is to be had for what has been inadequately called the Battle of the. Century, estimates that the game would draw 750,000 persons if accommodations could be provided- On this basis it is probable that 25,000,000 persons in this country will be tuned in on the game, by way of the radio, and this, of course, does not include the short wave flashes to the soldiers and sailors in foreign climes. Another million or more will hear the score by periods as they watch other games in the stadia of the land. A man who writes commercials for the fountain pen people confides that the game would draw almost as many if played under water and that even more people would be interested if the contest would be staged 10,000 feet in the air.

The game's power to entertain is pointed up by an unconfirmed rumor that in contemplating the excitement, John L. Lewis was reported to have been pictured wearing a smile. Pre-game predictions are of a piece with the general hysteria. They run from a walk-over by Army, a similar kind of victory for the Irish, to a victory by either side by the margin of one point. The gamblers are quoting 6 to 5, and pick it, as they say.

Which means no matter what team you on you have to bet $6 against $5. Both teams have been through the football wars. The Army has played, possibly, more games as a unit than the Irish have, but the Irish have played together often enough this season, under the ministering hand of Coach Leahy, to act cohesively as all teams must do to win regularly. No Notre Dame twosome can match Blanchard and Davis, it seems reasonable to say, but the Irish may suffer less in replacing men as the game goes on than Army if the Cadets are called on to make many substitutions. Notre Dame's George Strohmeyer has had experience both as a blocking back and as a center at Texas A.

with Iowa's Pre-Flight team, and at Corpus Christi. Another center, Marty Wendell, had a term at Great Lakes, plus a season at Notre Dame. Ziggy Czarobski was a member of the 1943 Notre Dame champs. George Connor was an All-Eastern tackle at Holy Cross. Tackle George Sullivan had a year at South Bend and another year in the service.

Joe Signaigo and John Mastrangelo have had two full years at Notre Dame. Frank Kosikowski, the right end, had a year at Marquette and played with Buddy Young at Fleet City. Jim Mello was good enough to be the No. 1 in 1943 at South Bend and then polished up during the war at Great Lakes and Camp Lee. Jack Zilly, Paul Lamont, Bob Skoglund, and Bill Fisher, are all veterans at South Bend.

A measure of the general know-how of the whole team may be had from the fact that Johnny Lujack has had less actual experience than most of them. He is a genius who doesn't suffer from that If memory serves, he sort of broke in against Army in 1943 to replace Bertelli and left little to be desired as he ran the team. He is rated a better defensive man than Bertelli, but not quite as good a passer. Whatever the result, it will hardly bear any resemblance to the two smears the Army scored in the last two years. The two teams this year are too evenly matched for a runaway affair.

Beyond this, with the stakes so high the teams will likely lean to the conservative in tactics and strategy. Neither team has been hard pressed so far, so that for each contending side the opposition will be more big league. Between now and game time there will be the usual scare stories about "secret weapons," "new plays," and so on, but coaches don't prepare for big tests by devising new plays or secret weapons for the simple reason there aren't any. They prepare for the big tests by trying to perfect the plays they have been using all season and these, by the way, are few in number. It would be interesting to know how much money will be bet on this one as it is one in which the amateur bettors take part.

In this view it would be rash to bet against such touchdown twins as Davis and Blanchard. They haven't missed so far and it isn't good business to swap touchdown twins in the middle of the gridiron. disappointed" to find that the Cupolo.
