Risko’s vicious onslaught swept Paulino before him in’ seven of the 10 rounds. Paulino’s nose and mouth dripped blood, when the final gong rang. Risko was unmarked.

Cox, weather forecaster, said the thermometer would range around 60 degrees with to influence punts, while the field was dry and fast. The lone defeafy handed Notre Dame by the Army was a spur to the fighting spirit of the Irish. The Trojans were held to one tie, but have severy victories over Pacific coast squads on their record this fall Williams’ Loss Felt The loss of Don Williams, half- back who was injured in the South- ern California’s game last Satur- day, has affected somewhat the strategy of the westerners, since he was used by Coach Jones to alter- nate with Morley Drury, the Tro- jans’ brilliant candidate for all- American backfield honors, The Notre Dame squad was at full strength, having only an easy combat with Drake last Sat- urday, and an array of ' backfield material was to keep' the offensive’ supplied with fresh shock troops. Addition of extra seats; officials of. the south park board thought’ would enable the Notre Dame offi- cials to squeeze a record-breaking crowd into the stadium. The Army- Navy annual clash at“ the same place last year drew 110,000, but a few thousand more had been ar- ranged for this afternoon, setting a new mark for attendance at a foot- ball game in the country, though still a long way short of the crowd of 140,000 which witnessed the Dempsey-Tumney battle at the same place last September, Scalping of tickets for the game was almost negligible, a few being offered at $20 for a seat which! originally sold for $3.50, BADLY Bi ED IN EXPLOSION Minot—Mrs. Peggy Arthur, pro- prietor of Peggy’s Beauty Parlor, was severely burned about the body when an alcohol lighter which she was using to generate a gasoline stove exploded, setting her clothes on fire.

In a tight spot the boys al- ways rely on Harry. He has an} uncanny knack of smoking out} enemy formations and being at the right defensive spot.” Hannegan is the “hard luck kid” of the Navy outfit. He played a good share of the Chicago game last year with a fractured collar- bone. Last spring he broke an ankle in baseball practice and was laid up for some time.
