Unbeaten A rmy and Notre Dame Should Have Easy Time Today Football FRIDAY'S RESCXTS HIGH SCHOOL. Hudson Unconvinced Despite Sugar's KO Bell Comes Too Late When Cecil Gets Tangled in Ropes at Olympia BY BOB LATSHAW Ray (Sugar) Robinson will be credited with a sixth-round knockout over Cecil Hudson in the record books, but that will never convince Hudson or his manager, Jack Blumin. Officially the fight ended at 2:59 of the sixth round, with Hudson tangled up with the lower rope of the ring halfway Saturday, November 2, 1946 to Me, Son' into the press row. It was the second time during the round that Hudson was on the canvas. He had taken a nine count earlier count earlier after absorbing too many of Robinson's left hooks to the body and head.

HILE REFEREE Johnny Webber tolled off the fatal 10 seconds, Hudson tried gamely to rise but couldn't get clear of the ropes. The bell rang a fraction of a second after Webber had counted 10. Blumin argued with officials at the ringside, but couldn't change the decision. Although Robinson had piled up an edge in the first five rounds Hudson took the best that his rival had to offer and always came back for more. DURING THE early rounds Robinson made good use of his rapier-like left and scored consistently.

He couldn't land solidly with his right because of Hudson's bobbing style. In the third Sugar caught Hudson on the ropes and landed a right to the head that had him wavering. Cecil came right back, however, with a flurry of punches and weathered the storm. Robinson weighed 146 Hudson 148. It was the feature match of a seven-bout card at Olympia.

The program drew a crowd of 8,614, who paid a gross gate of $21,690. After the main event two other fights lasted a total of one minute and 85 seconds. Bill Stemmler, a 160-pounder from Windsor, scored a first-round knockout over Jackie Krell. The battle went 40 seconds. Eddie Green, 169 of Detroit, took a minute and five seconds longer to flatten Gib Jones, 174, of Cincinnati.

IN PRELIMINARIES Oscar Wright, Robinson's stablemate, and J. C. Ross, of Flint, staged a six-round waltzing contest, with Ross taking the decision. Ross weighed 135 and Wright 136. In four-round bouts Danny Martin, 130, of Detroit, took a decision over Steve Bellus, 131, of London, Bob Reed, 159, of Detroit, outpointed.

The twist came from the students and faculty at East Lansing. VTriting in the State News, daily student publication, Bill Sonneborn said: "Now that next year's schedule is in the making and we are wondering whether we will play Michigan in 1947, the time might be ripe to raise the old cry for a game with the University of Detroit." IT WAS ALSO revealed that an unofficial poll among the Michigan State faculty favored discontinuing football relations with the University of Michigan if the opening date was the best the Wolverines could offer.

The cry for a resumption of the Michigan State-University of Detroit series is an old one. It comes up every year. The officials of both institutions were not surprised to hear it again. Lloyd Brazil, athletic director at the University of Detroit, said in answer to a question: "We have not heard from State for several years. At one time several years ago the folks up there promised to consider us for a game.

Since then, they have scheduled other schools." BRAZIL DIDN'T say so in as many words, but he intimated that he would welcome the chance to play the Spartans. He feels, though, as do most of the Titan officials, that the first move should come from State. Before the Spartans departed for Kentucky, Athletic Director Ralph Young refused to comment. "I have nothing to say on that subject," he explained. "That would have to come from the officials of the college and not from the athletic department." Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, Michigan Athletic Director Fritz Crisler explained the reason for offering Michigan State the 1947 date.

"OUR GAMES with both eastern and western schools, such as Stanford and Pittsburgh, have been arranged," he said, "to satisfy demands of alumni in those sections of the country. "Neither Pitt nor Stanford wanted the opening date, and we had to satisfy them. We also have to schedule at least six Big Nine schools. "Therefore, the only date we had left for Michigan State was our opening game Sept. 27.

We are holding that date open for them and I hope they accept." THE SPARTANS balked at the date because of a decision three years ago that Michigan would not be met until after classes were in session. Sept. 27 is Registration Day, and classes will not be in session.

THE GOPHERS, losers of eight straight Western Conference games over the past two seasons, were definite underdogs.

But followers of Minnesota football this season bobbed their heads cautiously and intimated that an upset victory would not be surprising.

West Virginia, ABC. HI TEAM LOSES TO Viilanova 109 Yards PHILADELPHIA (U.R) Bob Tolidor who became the father of a daughter just four days ago raced 109 yards for a Viilanova touchdown Friday night but this great kickoff sprint wasn't enough and Viilanova bowed to Miami in a ding-dong ball game 26 to 21. Polidor's sensational run came just before the first half ended. Then he inadvertently became the goat when his fumble on the second half kickoff set up Miami's winning touchdown. HIS TOUCHDOWN RUN undoubtedly the season's longest was one of the many thrills for the crowd of 26,000 that saw the alert 1946 Orange Bowl champions pounce on every scoring opportunity and make it count.

The touchdown run came when he took Harry Ghaul's kickoff almost out of the end zone. Poli-dor came up the center for 20 yards, broke to his right, eluded two tacklers and threaded the Hide line for the distance, outraging the final two Hurricane tackW.

W. EDGAK A clipping penalty that nullified a 65-yard touchdown sprint in the first three minutes of play proved the undoing of the University of Detroit 'eleven. Los of the touchdown put the Titans in a hole from which thry couldn't emerge. As a result, they bowed to Marquette, 21 to 20. to end their ten-game winning streak at U.

D. Stadium. Despite the bad break which came when Pete Sullivan was detected clipping at the ten-yard line while Joe Wright was on his way over the goal line, the Titans wage an uphill struggle which kept 10 -350 fans sitting through a downpour until the final whistle. THE DEFEAT not only the Titans' home winning streak, it marked the first time that the Hilltoppers had defeated Detroit since 1923. And it was only the fifth victory the Hilltoppers couM claim in a fourteen-game series.

Because of the soggy under-footing, the Titans were expected to have an advantage against Marquette's aerial attack. And in the first few minutes this deduction seemed warranted. On the Titans second play from scrimmage, Gene MalinowTski later-aled to Wright. One at a time, the Hilltoppers were blocked out of his way. But as Wright was crossing the goal line after his sixty-five-yard run, the officials detected Sullivan clipping.

Instead of a touchdown, XJ-D was given a fifteen-yard-penalty to their twenty-five-yard line. IT WASN'T long until Marquette struck a blow in its own behalf. Fullback Karl Schuette hurled a pass over center to Ray Kuffel, the rangy end, and he sprinted 61 yards for a touchdown. Jack Glaser added the first of his three extra points. After being stopped at the four-yard line in the first period, the Titans rallied in the early minutes of the second period to get back into the game.

Taking the ball on his own 30-yard line after a quick kick, Mal-inowski lateraled to Len Rittof, who ran 64 yards for a touchdown. Jack Hart came off th bench to try for what proved to be a big extra point and missed. THE HILLTOPPERS soon found the Titans' weakness on pass defense. With 20 seconds left in the second period. Dan Robarge hit Kuffel with a in the end zone and Glaser again added the point to put Marquette out in front, 14 to 6.

The Titans looked like a badly beaten club at the intermission. But they came back again in the early minutes of the third period. They got possession of the ball when Bob Ivory, the big guard, blocked Schuette's punt and Sullivan fell on the ball at the Marquette 40-yard line. From here they moved along the ground tc the 19-yard line and Jack Kur-kowski tossed a pass to Wright in the end zone. Hart added th? extra point to close the gap tc 14 to 13.

DIT Gains Moral Edge Dynamics Get 0-0 Tie with Lawrence Tech Detroit Tech splashed to a scoreless" moral victory over Lawrence Tech before 2,000 rain-soaked fans on muddy Ives Field Friday night.

It was the first athletic meeting between the schools. The Dynamics, rated three-touchdown underdogs, continually kept the Blue Devils on their heels after several narrow escapes in the first half. MOST OF THE CREDIT for holding Lawrence Tech went to Jim Poloney. who does the punting for DIT. He carries a 48-yard average per try for the season and his long boots one for 64 yards constantly set the Blue Devils back deep in their own ter-lytory.

Lawrence Tech, while bping held scoreless for the first time this season, showed that it had the Dynamics outclassed on the ground, at least. The Blue Devils rolled up 16 first downs rushing while Detroit Tech garnered six. Don McLean gave LIT its best scoring opportunity when he recovered a fumble on the DIT 31 early in the third quarter. The Blue Devil drive stalled on the 12, however, and the teams resumed their punting duel.

MIAMI. 26-21 Penn Faces Tough Task Georgia and Harvard Also Have Big Chores NEW YORK (JP) Army and Notre Dame, looking ahead to next week's classic which brings the nation's two top football powers face to face, will warm up against teams with unimpressive records Saturday as other major elevens attempt to promote a semblance of order in the various conference campaigns. The first November week-end of 1946 finds only half a dozen major teams still in the all-victorious class and not a single conference which can point to any one outfit as making a runaway of the title race. PENNSYLVANIA, Georgia, and Harvard, which with Army and Notre Dame make up the select circle of unbeaten and untied teams, all face opponents capable of sending them to join the victims of last week's major upsets Tennessee, Texas and North Carolina State. Army will tangle at West Point with a West Virginia team that lost to Pitt and Temple but won iU other four starts.

Notre Dame will move into Baltimore to test its guns against a Navy crew that has suffered four straight setbacks since squeezing past Viilanova in its opener. Pennsylvania, the country's No. 3 team, will risk its perfect record in an Ivy League game at Philadelphia against the Princeton Tigers, who dropped close decisions to Harvard and Cornell. Other Ivy League battles send Dartmouth to Yale and Cornell to Columbia, while Harvard entertains a Rutgers eleven that has been both hot and cold. ELSEWHERE in the East it will be Temple at Syracuse, Brown at Holy Cross, Colgate at Lafayette, Fordham at Penn State and Boston College at New York University.

Georgia will pit its 5-0 record against an invading Alabama team, beaten once in six starts, in the Southeastern Conference, where Vanderbilt will be at Auburn and Mississippi at Louisiana State for other important title tests. North Carolina, unbeaten but tied once, will go to Tennessee, the Southeastern leader which was embarrassed last week by another Southern Conference club. Wake Forest.

UMJ Infield Ace Braves Lose Rookie in Baseball Draft CINCINNATI (P) Jack Lehr-ke, twenty-two-year-old shortstop for San Diego, of the Pacific Coast League, found himself the center of attraction among baseball's top talent But it was mainly because of what Boston Braves' officials termed "a mivup" in the understanding of baseball's rules. Lehrke, known as "Lucky" because he has survived a series of fatal accidents in recent years, was the No. 1 player selected in the annual drawing of minor league players by major league representatives. ONE OF 19 PLAYERS chosen from an eligible list of more than 3,000 performers, Lehrke was selected by Horace Stoneham, of the New York Giants, after an unprecedented plea by President Louis Perini, of the Boston Braves. Perini, in a special pleading authorized by Commissioner A.

B. Chandler at the opening of the session, explained that Boston had an agreement to purchase Lehrke, offering to post 7,500 by Feb. 2, to seal the deal. Chandler emphasized that the star shortstop was placed on the draft list because baseball law stipulates such options must be exercised by Oct. 1, and he ordered the selections to proceed.

Rocketts, Dodgers Are Halted bv Rain ml CHICAGO (U.R) The football game between the Chicago Rockets and the Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America Conference was postponed from Friday until Saturday night because of rain. Rich Special three-fifths of a second off the track record. ALTHOUGH ASSAULT had won the three year old Triple Crown with victories in the Kentucky Derby, Belmont and Preakness Stakes, he was never faster. It was the third time that Arcaro had won the Special. He finished first with Challedon in 1939 and repeated with Shut Out in 1943.

Assault paid $7.60 straight in the betting, which is limited to win tickets for this race regardless of the number of entries. Bridal Flower, owned by John R. Bradley, finished third. Turbine, belonging to Mrs. Helen Lebo-witz, was fourth.

The up-and-down Tartars, cast Into a favorite's role for the second time this Reason, will meet Springfield (Mass.) College in Keyworth Stadium Saturday. Friday's rain, however, has added an atmosphere of pessimism to the scene. Earlier this season the Tartars were expected to beat Western Reserve, of Cleveland, by one touchdown. They were greeted by a rain-soaked turf which wrecked their attack and eventually cost them the game.

THE TARTARS must win Saturday if they hope to finish with their first .500 season since 1940. They have three games left, but already have lost four while winning only one.
