jy FORECAST: COOL, CLOUDY, DRY Brins your top-coat, but leave your umbrella at home! That's the advice the Weather Bureau offers football fans who will jam the Michigan Stadium at Ann Arbor and Macklin Field at East Lansing Saturday. The Wolverines' battle with Array will draw a capacity crowd of 97,239 fans. It will be Michigan's second sellout in as many weeks. Michigan State expects a capacity turnout of 50,745 for its contest with Stanford. The Michigan-Army game starts at 1:30 p.m., with the Michigan State-Stanford kickoff at 2 p.m.

There was a day-long drizzle Friday at both Ann Arbor and East Lansing, but the forecast was for improved conditions Saturday. "Partly cloudy and cooler," was the official Weather Bureau forecast. The temperature was expected to be about '55 degrees. Macklin Field at East Lansing has had a tarpaulin on it for 48 hours. Barring rain after the kickoff the field will be in perfect condition.

Depending entirely on "a fine drainage system," Michigan scorned covering its field. Should the weather be contrary to the forecast, rain and slippery footing apparently would give Michigan an edge over Army. The Wolverines have an extremely stout and alert defense that well might capitalize on fumbles on a muddy field. Kain and mud figure to hamper Michigan Stale which relies strongly on its speedy backs. ii 't Houston Depth Submerges Titans, 7-0 Risks Rating Against Cadets Sellout Crowd of 97,239 To View Battle of Unbeaten Notre "Dame Beats Miami in Air, 14-0 BY TOMMY DEVIXE tree Pre Staff Writer ANN ARBOR The University of Michigan risks its high national rating Saturday when its meets Army.

It took three tries from there, but Dickey got in for the score. The remainder of the game was much the same, Houston rolling along, piling up yardage (a total of 226 against Detroit's 97) but failing to cryss the Titan goal again. Fumbles hurt U. of D. There were six of them, four lost.

U. of D. never really threatened to score. The Titans made the Houston 34 in the first period, the 42 in the second and the 24 and 44 in the final period.

BY GEOKGE PUSCAS A driving rainstorm fell on City League football teams Friday and brought turmoil to the West Side race.

U. of D. High's 1954 metropolitan champions crashed in the mud of Clark Park as Western smacked down the heavily favored Cubs, 7 to 6. Cooley and Mumford, each unbeaten, saw their title chances badly damaged as they scrambled to a 6-6 tie. Redford thus took the lead alone and became the new favorite as it picked up its third straight victory, a hard-earned 6-0 decision over Chadsey.

FIVE TEAMS remain locked in the title struggle with the sectional campaign at the halfway mark. They are Redford; Mumford, Cooley, Mackenzie and U. of D. The East Side race remained static as Pershing climbed back into a deadlock for the lead with Denby by bouncing Northeast- ern, 20 to 0. In other games, Mackenzie dropped Northwestern, 12 to i Southeastern and Eastern played to a scoreless tie, and Cody dumped Central, 13 to 0.

As a result of the reversals, next week's games become the most important of the season. Redford takes on Cooley in the West Side struggle, and Pershing and Denby meet in probably the decisive game of the East Side race. A 24-HOUR RAIN left all the playing sites in poor shape, but the midafternoon storm which pelted the city Fridr.y made them all virtually unplayable, Coaches from both winning and losing teams commented that the games should have been postponed.

Horaung's 11-yard shot to Eugene Kapish in the Hurricane end zone put Notre Dame in front in the first minute of the second period. And the big Irish quarterback put on the clincher in the third with a 32-yard throw to swift Aubrey Lewis. A CROWD OF 75.683, the biggest crammed into the Orange Bowl, watched Notre Dame win its 11th straight game under youthful Coach Terry Brenna.i and score its third consecutive shutout this year. At the same time, the Irish cracked Miami's 10-game winning streak on its home field. Penalties kept the score down as each team had a touchdown called back.

In the second period. Miami's third-string sophomore halfback, John Varone. sped 12 yards across the Notre Dame goal, but a backfield-in-motion penalty nullified the score. In the fourth quarter, a clipping infraction cost Notre Dame's Jim Morse a touchdown on a brilliant 65-yard return of a stolen pass. Hornung also was called back because of an illegal shift after he had broken away on a "keep" play for a 51-yard run from scrimmage in the third period.

And early in the game, an offside penalty wiped out a 21-yard sprint by Miami's Jack Losch to the Notre Dame 18. Results Harbor Springs 13, E. Jordan 0. Hart 18, N. Muskegon 6.
