Nov. 3 —CP)— Never ones to yield a title without a fj„ht — whether it's the pro-foot ball championship or first, place in vards lost by penalties, the Chi cago Bears reasserted themselves as “the hardest ground-gaining team in the National Football League this week on the eve of their big game with their closest rivals, the Green Bay Packers. With some surprise during the firsst half of the schedule, the Bears watched the Packers pile up a statistical superiority in yards gained rushing, and were equally non-plussed to be tied by Green Bay. 21 to 21, in their only meet ing with Curley Lambeaus crowd. Next Sunday the Bears oppose the Packers in Wrigley Field in a game that should sew up tlr West ern divisio- title for the Chicagoans it they win, and create a deadlock if Green Bay triumphs. And the Bearss will go on the field as lea gue leaders in yards gained and in yards by rushing, with Green Bay second in each instance. But the Chicagoans aim to prove they’re just as good on the gridiron as they are in the statistics sheets. __\r_ Underground French Press To Have News Writer With USAAF ALGIERS, Nov. 3. — (*>)— The c\ierground French press is going to have its own war coverage by a foreign correspondent. One delegate to the consultative assembly of the National Com mittee for Liberation, a former newspaper who must remain an onymous, has applied to the United States Air Forces for accreditation on behalf of the underground pa pers of the Metropolitan France. He asked to accompany the Am erican 12th and 15th Air Forces on flights and to inspect their for ward bases, filing stories that will be “pooled” for all the approxi mately 70 small underground pa pers which, according to estimates, regularly reach more than ten million Frenchmen.

(i ZaIPiAnIA To BEAT) A oAIO state for \ <AB First Time SiAcb 1937r Op p SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 3.—Iff) For once Midwest folks aren’t laughing too much over Frank Leahy’s latest wails about his No tre Dame football team. It really looks tough this time for Leahy and his Irish—they’ll probably be lucky to score 30 points against Army next Saturday. Why Angelo Bertelli is gone— and he's been good for two, three touchdown passes a game as the Irish scored 41 points on Pitt, 55 on Georgia Tech, 35 on Michigan, 50 on Wisconsin, 47 on Illinois, 33 on Navy. Just like cutting the heat out of a man’s bodv---Leahy said so himself this week. And here’s poor Julius Rkvo vich, just barely manages to get around after that bout with illness over the week-end. Possibly got a case of sniffles from the breezes as he and his teammates rushed around the Cleveland stadium against Navy last week. And it’s apparent from the rec ords that Notre Dame hasn’t been worth a whoop against the big teams. Sure. Pitt and Georgia Tech and Wisconsin and Illinois were easy—despite Leahy’s copi ous tears, before each of those games. But by how much did the Irish beat a big. strong team like Michigan? Only 35 to 12—lucky they didn’t get their brains beaten out. And Navy?

Now everyone grieves noisly over Leahy’s tough November schedule. Kas to play Army, Northwestern, the Iowa Seahawks with their sim plified array of 14 plays, and Great Lakes. Why if they throw some kind of a big charity bout in the Rose Bowl New Year’s day and Notre Dame gets an invitation and permission to meet Southern Cali fornia. that prolongs Leahy’s agony through the month of December. Scarcely gives him time to think about Christmas. Y'es. sir, Bertelli is gone. The heart has been removed. There is that big Irish body just kicking around without control all the month of November—guys like Li mont and Yonakor. White and Zarobski. Filley and Perko, Cole man, Miller, Eykovich and Mello flailing around aimlessly with Johnny Lujack—as Bertelli’s suc cessor—striving valiantly to avoid chaos. Well, evevone figures those kids will get a kick out of competing in football before going off to war, even if they don’t win another game. Leahy said that himself, back last September. They'll have a good time on the train to New York, even if they have to pull their feet up on the Pullman seats to keep dry when Leahy’s tears start pouring down the aisle. Platter Captures $40,520 In The Pimlico Futurity BALTIMORE, Nov. 3—W—Kick ing loose with a burst of speed in the stretch, Platter carried the light and dark blue silks of George E. Widener to victory in the $40,520 Pimlico Futurity to day. The highly-rated son of Pilate and Lets Dine was non-winner as he went to the post in this 22nd running of the Maryland Jockey Clubs’ juvenile classic, but he had been backed into favoritism over seven other colts by the crowd of 11,291 persons at Pim lico, largely on the basis of his third to Occupy in the Belmont futurity. The crowd’s’ faith was not mis placed, as the Widener colt raced to a neck decision over Alfred p Park°r’s By Jimminy in what ir. effect a two-colt race._ -~t SAMMY BYRD HERE Kurt Boehm, pro at the Cape Fear Country Club golf course, announced Wednesday tnat Captain Thomas originally scheduled to appear in the ex hibition match November 7 with Sammy Byrd will be un able to participate. His place will be taken by Lewis B. Or rell, who is present club champion. The other partici pants remain as announced last week. The match will get under way at 2 p-.m. with Byrd and Orrell opposing Captain Duncan Edwards and Gilbert Arthur in 18 holes of play. Boehm again stressed that that there will be no charge to the public and a large gSIlery is invited to attend the exhibi tion. -V Pre-Flight Cloudbusters Have Long Practice Drill CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 3. — (/P) The N.

They were among the 27 who were singled out as the outstanding linemen of the week. Seiler, a 6-foot 190-pounder from Milwaukee, scored a touchdown against Virginia Military Institute. A VMI punt was blocked. Seiler grabbed the bail before it touched the ground and ran over from the VMI ten. Malmberg, playing his last game turned in the greatest defensive ex hibition of his career as Rice beat Texas Tech. He was credited with making five of every seven tackles. His teammates hoisted him to their shoulders at the end of the game and carted him off the field in tribute to a great lineman. Jim White, Notre Dame tackle, and Casimir Myslinski, Army cen ter, whose teams clash this week in the number one game in the a game against Navy and Penn, respectively. “That Myslinski,” said Penn’s Coach George Mun ger. “He was all over the field.” White led the Irish line in holding Navy to a minus seven yards in rushing. Coach Harry St.uhldreher. of Wis consin, praised Purdue’s t w o guards, Alex Agase and Dick Bar wegen, as the “best in the Middle West,” after getting a closeup view of them in action against his Bad gers. Nick Kerasiotis, former little all America star from St. Ambrose college and a former Chicago Bear player, sparkled at guard for the unbeaten Iowa Seahawks against Fort Riley. “He was particularly good at stopping spinner plays.” his coach. Don Faurot said. “When they tried to pass why it was Kerasiotis who was in there rush guard from Wilkinsburg. Pa., made ing the passers.” Johnny Jaffurs. Penn State every other tackle against West Virginia.” Coach Ira Rodgers, of West Virginia, asserted Jaffurs is a “great guard.” The other outstanding linemen were: Tackles: Ray Vincent, North western: Paul Mitchell, Minneso ta: Ulysses Cornogg, North Caro lina; Bill Hill, Nebraska; Ed Mill er.

Fullbacks Ho sea Rodgersand Bob McCollum added some hard pluging, while Joe Kosinski and Howard Weldon did some good work from the blocking back post. Barney Poole placed the blockers up front. Sam Arbess crashed the line for the reservess’ lone score, and the Rookies made good bains on Bob Rockholz’s passing to Don Clayton and Bom Elliott. Every man on the squad took part in the scrimmage except tail back Buddy Myers, tackle Oliver Poole and Henry, who were out because of minor injuries. -V Fort Monroe Gridders To Be Tough For Davis CAMP DAVIS.

Hanover Softball League | Announces All-Star Team .1 —— 1 ,W,VLLAWU ms TROSKY ON BLOCK Jig Slugger Comes Out Of Retirement To Con tinue Baseball CLEVELAND. Nov 3.— W—The Cleveland Indians put fence-bust ing Hal Trosky in their showcase oday as one of the winter base jail market's choicest selections of wartime trading bait. The big first baseman, who vol untarily retired because of chronic migraine headaches and an ac cumulation of grievances after a disappointing 1941 season, was re stored tc the active list at his jwn reouest as a piemde to tiade tall: with other clubs. Vice President Roger Peckin paugh declared nothing was immi nent and farmer Trosky. busy picking corn for a neighbor at Nor way. la., said he had not been ap proached yet. Hal. who came to the Tribe a decade ago as an out fielder. will be 31 on Armistice day. Since he is married and lias three children, he is considered unlikely to be drafted soon for military service Trosky announced late in the 1941 campaign that it would be his last until his headaches disappear ed. That winter he received a con tract cutting his S19.000 salary to S10.000, and newspaper clippings quoting Peckinpaugh as saying Trosky would "have a real head ache this time.’’ The big fellow became mad. Ho interpreted this as an inference that his ailment was imaginary. He also resented being popularly teimed 1be ringleader of tho fa mous 1940 rebellion against Man ager Oscar Vitt. since he was only 1 a participant. He also objected to j batting in the vast expanses of i Cleveland stadium, where the In dians moved their night and week end games to accommodate Bob Feller's crowds, and preferred the j shorter right field fence of League 'park. So he stayed cr, his farm. Trosky unexpectedly appeared at Chicago last summer, worked out there with the Browns and indi cated to Peckinpaugh he would like to play at Chicago or St. Louis so he could return to the farm on off days. "I hold no hope at all that he ever will rejoin the In dians,” Peckinpaugh said today, "but with Trosky back on the ac tive list. I’m in a position now to see what I can get for him.” -V-— The Hanover Softball League All-1 Star Team was announced last ; night by the commissioner. Sixteen ] players were honored on the squad and are to receive a medal for their play during the 1943 sea son. The 1943 Champions, the Coast Guard Ten, placed five men on the squad to lead all teams. Star-News, through fourth in the standings at the end of the season, placed four men on the team. The runner-up Firemen team placed three men, as did also the Brigades. The Coast Line team placed only one player, Leon Thomas, who was the league's leading batter for the year. The All-Star team as a unit hit for a .327 average. The infield, composed of Harland, Nobles, Mc Call and Thomas pounded the ball for a .353 average and is with out a doubt the best infield com bination on both the offensive and defensive play seen here. Frank McCall was elected for the second straight year to hold down short stop. The outfield with Gieschen in left, Check in center. Beasley in right and Hammock in shortfield is classy, though not having the power at the plate as does the in field. Two utility outfielders and two deserves the award for piloting his tra pitcher made up the other selections. Tom Hughes, manager of the Champion Guards, rightfully deservess the award for piloting his team home in front. All-Star repeats from lasst year I re Frank McCall at short for the Irigades. Charlie Hammock in ihortfield for the Brigades, and iughey Griffith at short for the Newsies. All other players are lew in the pickings.

Facing his entry into the Master Gunners’ School the six-foot 190-pounder from New Jersey decided to forage the bal ance of the grid'season in defer ence to military studies. He was the fastest flankman on the A A squad. To fill the breach the versa tile Allie Goldberg was switchec from fullback to end. Anothei transfer placed tackle Walt Frie hofer at guard. Prepping for the Fort Monroe visit Saturday, the Blue Brigade was divided into two groups yes terday. One unit composed of those who saw much action against Le jeune last week underwent a ligh session consisting of passing am signal drill. Tire heretofore underworkec squad members partook of a bruis ing one-hour scrimmage, alternat ing on offense and defense. Ni official score was kept. Jim “Gen eral” Montgomery was particu larly brilliant in this intrasquac milling and appears to be a like ly tackle starter against Ft.
