they are as low as

not even a R ickey can do every

th a t w ar clouds and the d ra ft
can make a te rrific difference in
the two 1951 races. A lready a

This w ill soon begin to double
and redouble. It w ill w ork hard

Looking over the two leagues how
can any one expect any of the sec

the upper four? Yankees, Tigers,
Indians and Red Sox w ill s till be

The loss of Branch R ickey is n 't
going to help B rooklyn although
Fresco Thompson is a capable

to get any baseball savvy—and this
means years of actual w ork as the

Notre Dame and Next Year
Chicago is a hot N otre Dame
city. This affection goes back to
the e a rly years of Knute Rockne.
A bad Notre Dame year is a bad
football year fo r m any Chicago
football fans.
Now
they
are
wondering
about Notre Dame and 1951.
F o r one thing Bob W illia m s
w ill be m issing and Bob W il
liam s. the star fro m B a ltim o re ,
was the te a m ’s m ain star in
1949 and 1950. H is passing was
about 70 o r 80 per cent of Notre
Dame's a ttack w ith the back-
field m a te ria l le ft. Sitkos and
such don't come along every
week.
There are strong rum ors around
that N otre Dame is getting ready
to shed p a rt of her football glory.
Scholarships have been reduced
quite heavily, we are told.
One point is that N otre Dame is
re a lly a m a g n ifice n t u n ive rsity.
M any of her leaders th in k the edu
cational and c u ltu ra l side has been
overshadowed by football great
ness. This, at least, is the idea
you hear.
F ro m now on N otre
Dame w ill have good football
teams, but they won’t be so over
whelm ing.
N otre Dame loses good men after
this season and so fa r apparently
no H arts, Connors or L u ja cks are
on the freshm an squad. It is lucky
th a t N otre Dame s till has F ra n k
Leahy and his able coaching staff.
Leahy did all anyone could do w ith
lim ite d m a te ria l as fu ll proof that
a ll too often it is s till the m a te ria l
th a t w rites most of the winning
story.
N otre Dame has an even tougher
schedule next year. As we under
stand it the South Bend platoon
takes on S.M.U. and other strong
southwestern teams, where foot
ball m ay have its deepest strength.
Indiana w ill be better.
So w ill
M ichigan State.
So w ill Purdue
and Iowa.
I t is much too e a rly to s ta rt

B ut it w ill be a big jo b to go through
next season's hard m arch w ithout
a few defeats.

O LITICS RUNS in cycles. And
the p o litic a l cycle a q u a rte r of
a century ago has some interesting
comparisons w ith that today. In
fact, it's alm ost s im ila r.
A q u a rte r of a century ago, in
the election of 1926. C a lvin Coolidge,
supposedly supreme in the White
House, almost lost co in tro l of con
gress. He retained the senate by
e xactly the same m a jo rity as
H a rry T rum an today—one vote. The
house he kept by a m a rg in of 42.
Today T ru m a n ’ s m a rg in there is 34.
Some interesting figures popped
up in that surprise election of 1926.
A young man from M a ryla n d named
M illa rd Tydings, son of a Susque
hanna riv e r boatman and hitherto
unknown, was elected to the senate.
A q u a rte r of a century la te r, T yd
ings, in another surprise election,
bowed out. The man who defeated
him . John M a rshall B utler, was
equally unknown.
A nother interesting fig u re swept
into the senate in th a t 1926 surprise
election was a re la tiv e newcomer
fro m K entucky named Alben B a rk
ley. He defeated Republican Sen.
R ichard P. E rnst, chairm an of the
privileges and elections com m ittee
