He did not know where, for the Marines had stormed in from the south west, northwest and north, while tho Infantrv entered from the south. South Mountain, a tree-covered park around which much of Seoul is built, was the major Communist defensive position. Its slopes were studded with mortar and artillery positions and gash- "ed with slit trenches and under ground military installations. Carrier-based U. S. planes cleared a blazing path for the advancing liberation forces with searing jellied gasoline and 500 ' pouricT " b'ornbs" hurled on North Korean tanks, barracks and gun positions. Planes and artillery helped , silence'lhe Reds in. South Moun tain Park as Seventh Division troops assaulted the slopes. At the same time U. S. Eighth Army troops, racing northward from " their rapidly expanding Pusan perimeter, narrowed the gap with Tenth Corps troops in the Seoul area to 40 miles or less. "Victory is now in sight," Lt. Gen. Walton H. Walker, Eighth Army Commander, declared in a statement lauding South Korean Republican forces. He added that victory would mean a iree -uiu untrammeled society for all Ko . reans with the dignity of the in dividual fully restored."

Every effort, Crook said, was made, to make tickets .available to those students wanting: to at tend the game. Early announcer ments were released to the press, and posters announcing the sale wprp disDlaved throughout the registration line last week. No ! students desiring tickets were turned down by his office, he de clared. The one hitch in obtaining tick ets, according to Crook, was that tickets not sold by the end of registration had to be returned to the Notre Dame office for sale there. There were at least 10, 000 tickets available for the game, he said. Most of the 4,000 tickets bought through the University ticket of fice were alumni. Not more than a few score students are expect ed to make the trip. ; University Club officials said yesterday that they had no plans for any organized cheering work r.f thfi oame or before .it. That is in striking contrast to last vear's Notre Dame weekend in New York, .when Tar Heel fans held a pep rally in Times Square, a parade in upper Manhattan and a high party "in Greenwich , Vill age.
