The Nation's Top Coi
By Al Lightner
- Statesas&a Iporta Editor
The Associated Frets' annual
year-end poll on the blr rests,
bests and mosts for 1950 foot
ball b under way. Soon the an
swers to the nine questions sub
mitted by the AP will be forth
coming from the nation's sports
editors, that - undaunted frater
nity of filberts oft referred to bo
"experts.1 but which In reality
Is nothing more than a group of
., assorted long, short, fat and thin
characters who are accused (er
roneously, of course) of making
all the moola In the land and
who would starre to death In a
week if they were to subsist en
their brainy selections.
Were you to submit answers
to the Questions here's what con
fronts you: 1 What was re
sponsible for the 2 per cent de
crease In attendance In mid
season as compared to the same
period for 1949? 1 Do you
think television Is Jeopardising
the. football programs at the
smaller colleges? At the larger
ones? S The 1950 season pro
duced more upsets probably than
any In recent years. What's the
reason? 4 Do you think the
two-platoon system is dividing
the teams In "haves' and "have
nots"?
5 What do you think was
the most significant trend of
"the 1950 season? C What was
the biggest flop (team) of the
year? The biggest surprise? 7
Who did the best coaching Job of
the year? S What was the
biggest upoet of the year? t
What was the outstanding oddity
or amusing Incident of the sea
son? Would your answers be some
thing like these?
1 Less fans went to the
games, t Definitely, In both
cases. It's easier and cheaper to
sit at homo with a tall ono than
trying to; sneak one with hslf-
froxen hands In a stadium. S I

Irish Rated over Troy
In Annual Scrap Today
By Bob Myers
; LOS ANGELES, Dec. MP-Tlotre Dame and Southern Cali
fornia kiss the 1950 football season goodby tomorrow, and a fond
and tearless farewell it will be. The 1950 season has been anything
but wonderful to the two teams, and compared to the big years
when one or both earned the at
tention of the nation into their
annual game, the campaign could
almost be scrawled out in four
letters that spell flop.
Notre Dame just isn't famous
foriosinfe football games to Pur
due, Indiana and Michigan State,
much less tie-with Iowa. And USC
hasn't quite reached the habit of
winning one game from a weak
opponent and losing to five oth
ers, not to mention struggling for
ties with two more.
So tomorrow's 22nd collision
here Isnt calculated to exactly
approach the earth-shaking and
the earth did shake 14-14 dead
lock they staged in Memorial Col
iseum just two years ago.
The Irish will be without the
guidance of head coach Frank
Leahy, ill with flu in South
Bend. Leahy had hoped to be
well enough to fly out tonight.
But his physician said no. Instead,
assistant coach Bernie Crimmins
will run the team.
USC? Well, you can't tell. The
well polished Trojans polished
by UCLA 39-0 a week ago
might just up and pull another
one for their harrassed coach, Jeff
Cravath. They did it for him in
'48, -when least expected.
Notre Dame, in a last check,
was favored by 12 points to
subdue USC for the 14th time in
their series. USC hasn't beaten
the Irish since 1939, and the wise
ones say the current Irish, good
or indifferent, should lower jthe
boom once more. I
