Here was the situation: Paris Keeps Pin Lead by Winning 2 Cleaners Outrolleci; Strohs Still Second Michigan had the ball on Ohio's five-yard line.

The Bucks 3 were offside. The officials moved the ball to the one-yard stripe. seven extra points. He made four touchdowns that afternoon, and all of them came in the second period. Through the years Don has 18 touchdowns, 37 extra points and a field goal against Detroit.

"WE'RE MAKING special plans for Hutson again," Dorais said rather futilely. "We tried to cover him with one man last time. We'll give him multiple coverage this time. Dorais reflected for a moment. "But I wonder what we'll do about some of those other receivers who might be open, that other end, Clyde Goodnight, for example." 1 Finally, Gus admitted that his hopes in a victory rest not so much in stopping Hutson as in stopping the passers from getting the ball away.

1 "OUR BEST CHANCE is to rush those passers to death," he "Of course, it's going to be no easy job with that big, Green Bay line. Besides, Roy McKay, Irving Comp and Bruce Smith get their passes away pretty fast." It was still raining outside, but Dorais started for practice. "There's one consolation. In 11 years Hutson has scored as many touchdowns against Cleveland as he has against us. Why don't you fellows call him Mr.

Poison BY JOHN X. SABO GL'S DORAIS didn't have to look at the scoring records. He knew all about Don Hutson, of the Green Bay Packers. But being a meticulous soul and knowing that the pestiferous Mr. Hutson will be operating in Briggs Stadium against his Detroit Lions Sunday, Dorais looked at the records anyway.

He saw an awesome story. There It was In black and white. The skinny end who came from Alabama into the pro ranks 11 years ago already has scored 819 points in pay-for-play football. He has 105 touchdowns, 174 extra points and six field goals. Gus held his head and said nothing.

He looked a little deeper, and the more he looked the more painful the picture became. Hutson has scored 148 against the Lions. HE SCORED two touchdowns in 1935, his freshman year in the National League. He kept right on scoring against Detroit up to the time he snagged four touchdown passes in the 57-21 trouncing in Milwaukee early this season. In that game alone Hutson produced 31 points.

He contributed The phones have been ringing and the mailman has been dropping letters on the desk, and they, all ask how come. "Shouldn't the ball have been placed on the half the distance to the goal?" The answer has to do with the difference between collegiate and professional rules. In collegiate football, If a foul is committed outside the 1-yard line (this one was), and the distance if enfortjed would carry the ball across the goal line or inside the 1-yard line (this one would), the ball shall be down on the 1-yard line (it was). The pros, on the xther hand, rule that if a penalty would carry the ball more than half the distance to the goal line (this one would), the penalty should be half the distance from the spot of the infraction to the goal line. In this particular case, that would have been on the 2 2-yard stripe, except that collegians don't use the pros' rules.

Interested parties were deer hunting.

Last week, the Lions were fighting for first place. Sunday, they'll be fighting Green Bay at Briggs Stadium for second. Maybe it's a good thing their pro season is ending. But Tucker Expects to Face Navy Waltcrhouse Takes Star's Place in Drill WEST POINT, N. Y.

Hagberg, Navy's head coach, suggested that the rival nackfield stars meet in a sprint duel at the the half.

Adams started to get bad news when Right-Winger Jerry Couture reported with a back injury. It was the result of a check tossed by New York's Bill Moe Sunday night. COUTURE DIDN'T say anything about the injury for two days, but it pained so' much that he had Dr. C.

L. Tomsu look at it. The result was that Couture was ordered to keep away from all practice sessions this week in hopes that he will be recovered sufficiently to play against the Bruins in Boston Sunday.

William (Bull) Halsey, himself a former star Middie fullback, exhorted the Navy football team to "fight like hell and get that game" with Army Saturday. The occasion for his pep talk was his presentation of Japanese war trophies to the Midshipmen's Brigade in ceremonies at Bancroft Hall.

Halsey described as "a lot of bunk" suggestions that Army-Navy games "engender hatred, but wryly advised the team that "all friendships are forgotten" during Saturday's game at Philadelphia. The Pacific war hero, who played on the Navy team at the turn of the century, told the Midshipmen that he was "the worst fullback the Naval Academy ever had," but that what he learned on the athletic field was of "inestimable value out in the Fleet." "I HAVE HEARD a lot of criticism many times about the Army-Navy games engendering hatred. That is a lot of bunk. The finest thing is to go out there and fight like helL It is the grandest spirit in the world." As an example of Army-Navy comradeship In war, he recalled that when he was commander of the South Pacific, a general from the Fiji Islands whom he did not identify went to see him.
