And the suspicion grows that Notre Dame hasn't yet shot the works. Coach Frank Leahy, of Notre Dame would be the last to admit this, but that's Frank Leahy. On the other hand, the motion pictures and first hand reports on Michigan's 21-7 win ever Northwestern show the Wol- verines' ball handling was f sul ty and their timing off, and their regulars played most of the game. Notre Dame flashed the sight of four fine backs while the regulars cavorted against Tecli A n g e 1 o Bertelli, Julie Rykovich, Jim Mel- lo. and Creiahton Miller. What about Johnny Lujack, the boy who's to succeed Bertelli- when Bert goes to the Paris Island ma rine base early in November? Well, what Lujack did' was done well, but not much ; was seen , of - him. ' - ' It's hard to say whether Kyko- vich'or Mello was the more im pressive in wading through the Georgia Tech line after Bertel li had served up the ball from - the' T formation. Both were . wildfire, and about even on yards gained. ' Although Mello . scored, three touchdowns, Eyko- - vich certainly., was a dangerous - ball carrier,' too. N The transplanted Illini freshman . Is reported to have been a bit shy in practices about taking the ball from Bertelli and plowing ; imme-1 diately into the line. But not any- mute- c umi uu uiuics wiui ijr- markable : precision and . strength last, week, and the shock of bis c rives, aiiemaiea wiui . uiose oi Mello and the sweens br Miller. was more than Georgia Tech could handle. Notre Dame's running power. then, is so great that under no circumstances can the Irish be . accused of being dependent en Bertelirs- passing. Yet the Ital- ' lan boy is showing oft much bet ' ter this year than previously. ' Bertelli hit on three of four" aer- lal attempts a week ago against Pittsburgh, and after missing his first try against Georgia Tech pro ceeded to connect on six straight, three ' for ; touchdowns. f Another time . he ' sent a lateral square to Mello who ran for another score. But, ' the Irish could have . won without his passes. With them, Saturday, Notre Dame was . un beatable. - Fahious Pacer Buried , KITTANNING, Pa., Oct 5P) j Flo Patch, last surviving daughter of Dan Patch, " world champion i pacer of four decades ago, has been buried on the Crum farm near CowansviUe.

Athletic Manager Roland E. Bel- shaw reported the navy had ruled that not even navy and marine men, . composing ., the bulk of - the Washington squad, could fly in navy planes for a football game. ' In view of the 48-hour limit of their absence from the cam pus, the air route had been the only hope of getting the. Huskies south for any playoff game. : Belshaw said hope has not been abandoned completely, pending a check for any possible leeway in thei regulations.

" . .-!;.-'.' ' ' ,W Belshaw reported that the re; . suit of a conference telegraphle poll has eliminated the possibil ity of adding Willamette to the skimpy Washington schedule. Washington sought s waiver of such' a game counting ' against the eligibility of Washington players for future seasons. Such a waiver was granted by tele graphle poll for the Whitman -game when the northern divi sion folded up only two day, before the contest. . ; On the Willamette proposal, the conference had voted to postpone action unta the next regular meet ing. That would be in December. Washington athletic authorities de cided against the. chance of paring year off the eligibility of the Huskies for such a non-conference contest. , - "We could play service teams without our players being penal- zed," Belshaw commented, "but I fear there are no additional avail able teams besides those now on our schedule.
