An added hope that som "Mit" will be kind to you this coming Friday and give your varsity cagers the decision in fresh-varsity contest.
THE COACH OF THE YEAR
The most overlooked team and coach in the nation until last weekend were Frank Leahy and his Fighting Irish from Notre Dame. Stepping in as head coach at South Bend this season, Frank Leahy had a sensational record for his two years at Boston College. There his teams won 20 out of 22 games, including a loss in the Orange Bowl game of '40 at the hands of Clemson 6-2, and a victory in the Sugar Bowl game of '41 over Tennessee 19-13.
Notre Dame has probably, year in and year out, the best football material in the country. However, Leahy stepped in with a new system, a new bunch of players to get acquainted with, and one of the toughest schedules ahead. Leahy molded a great team immediately with a fancy backfield boasting three headline stars in Angelo Bertelli, Steve Juzwik, and "Dinny" Evans.
Notre Dame opened the season with a 38-7 win over Arizona. Indiana was Leahy's next victim 19-6. In their third start, the Irish whipped Georgia Tech 20-0, a touchdown better than Duke did. A weak Carnegie Tech eleven fell next 16-0, and then Notre Dame slaughtered Illinois 49-14. Ohio State won from Illinois 12-7 last Saturday.
Army, having one of its best years, tied the Leahy-coached crew but unbeaten Navy fell before the Irish a week later 20-13. Northwestern, hard-luck loser to Minnesota and Michigan, was nosed out by Notre Dame 7 to 6 last Saturday. Southern California, in the throes of a disastrous season, is the only hurdle left for the Notre Dame team to an undefeated season. Leahy has done a swell job.
COMPARATIVE SCORES
It is always interesting to attempt to select the outcome of some future game by the method of comparing respective scores. Here are a couple of contrasts for the home-coming fray between Missouri and Kansas. Oklahoma walloped Kansas 38-0 and last weekend Missouri ran roughshod over the Sooners to the tune of 28 to 0. These figures give Missouri a pre-game 66-point edge on the Jayhawkers.
Then a twisting of Kansas's record, and one way of deducting outcomes finds Henry's Jayhawks a point better than the nation's No. 1 team, Minnesota. Kansas won by a four-point margin from Kansas State and the Aggies defeated the Cornhuskers by a touchdown, making K.U. 10 points better than Nebraska. Minnesota downed the Huskers 9 to 0. All in all, the Mizzou-Jayhawk struggle should be titantic.

We're ready with a wartime telephone in which plastic and steel replace the more vital defense metals—zinc, aluminum, magnesium. It's not a makeshift telephone—it's a good telephone.
TO SAVE METAL FOR UNCLE SAM
Mr. Telephone will wear plastic
In the months ahead, however, you may find it hard to get one. Where all lines in our cables are taken up we can't add new customers quickly because nearly all the additional cable we can get is required for vital defense construction.
We're making every substitution, salvaging every bit of usable equipment to keep up with orders as well as we can.
We hope that our record over more than 60 years is evidence that we will always be doing our best to keep your service as good as conditions permit.
