RUTH WYETH" SPEARS

I T I S not necessary to make our * economies s@ dull tha t they de-p r e s s every one. Let'.&make them tjay and at t ract ive to give us a lift aad, a b i t of a challenge too.-Th i s out rocker is an example.

A s aw and a -wood chisel were used for removing projections a n d rockers . An old quilt was

found for padding and the feathers f rom an old bolster were packed into a thick seat cushion to raise the seat which has been lowered by removing the rockers. This re­quired a ya rd and a quarter of ticking. Four and one-half yards at inexpensive chintz in a bold, modern pat tern did the rest. Total cost for an up-to-date chair less .than two dollars, one that will serve well for the duration.

NOTE—This remodeled chair is Irora BOOK 5 which also contains directions for modernizing an old fashioned couch .and making other home furnishings from things on hand. To get copy of BOOK 5 send 15 cents direct to:

He Led Invaders

Frank Leahy

;T was the greatest Notre Dame team? The Four Horse­

men? Kocfaie's iriasterplerje>of#93"0? Or Frank Leahy's? l94J-sqna'd with Bertelli on ihe^Sfer

Here's the opening argument— "Dear Grant: They are saying the

1843 N. Darners were a better aggre­gation than the

<* i-'idefeated fight-i>.g Irish of 1930. '1 'lose who do overlook the fact that the latter oi-tfit had the i 'aching benefit of the ,daddy-stir-i' r-upper of .'em i l l — t h e b e s t

u a m n e d c o a c h that ever lived, Rock, himself! In

battle, Grant, between these two teams, how much of a factor would having Rock on your bench figure in the final outcome? I should say plenty, the fact that Frank..Leahy's an inspirational leader and a bril­liant strategist, himself, notwith­standing. But Rock was Rock, that's all. And that means the best.

"I think another proof of the 1930 team's greatness is the fact that I can remember names from it. And I'm not a Notre Dame man, nor rooter. I generally root for the N. D.'s to get H in the neck. The little guy, the underdog, always finds favor with me. But I can remem­ber the many nominees for All-America mention from that team; the guards, Bert Metzger and Can­non, Tommy Yarr, the center, the great tackles, Joe Kurth and Harris, and Philadelphia's Tom Conley, the captain and end/ The other end has bowed to memory, but I know he was a dandy.

"But the backs! Frank Carideo, a Mills' pupil, and one of the greats of all time, certainly would give his team a vast edge in this depart­ment. Marty Brill, with Earl Brit-tain of Illinois, will go down in his­tory among the great blocking backs. Joe Savoldi was a human battering ram, while Marchy Schwarz was the breakaway guy who could do more than his share of breaking away. Chuck Jackwich, Bucky O'Connor, and Moon Mulllns were other fine backs and important cogs in Rock's mighty machine.

"This present team would have it over Rock's outfit in the passing de­partment with the Accurate Angelo heaving the leather. Schwarz and Carideo were no more "than fair Singers for Rock, but they seldom had to be, what with the overland game so profitable. Rock's line could invent the holes! And there is recent proof that a line of such caliber might completely nullify Angelo's fine passing game.

"I'll take Rock's boys, Grant, of the two. And you?

"Very truly yours, "George E. Heiser."

Soon afterward the city was horrified when many of the pigeons that fly about S t Patrick's cathedral (near the CBS studio) were poisoned —that week the Inner Sanctum mysT tery was "The Bird of Doom," and had Laird Cregar, of the movies, poisoning pigeons. It begins to look as if somebody around there had a crystal ball.

A Feiv Words in Rebuttal I'm sorry, George, but I'll have

to string with Frank Leahy's 1943 squad with Bertelli in action.

To me the Four Horsemen outfit, with a backfield averaging 159 pounds, plus a rather light line were the all-top and all-time artists. Pound for pound. But they lacked the needed poundage. Here's the j answer. Red Blaik and other Army ' coaches will tell you and prove they could handle the older Notre Dame attack. Army outplayed Notre Dame | badly the day Jack Elder ran 95 yards, for the winning touchdown— and Savoldi was there. In 1930, Notre Dame beat a fair Army team 7 to 6.

The 1943 Army team was far bet­ter than the 1930 Army team. Yet it is my belief that with Bertelli faking and passing and running his squad, Notre Dame could have beat­en Army 40 to 8, or worse.

Don't forget this 1943 Notre Dame team ran up over 80 points on fine Navy and Georgia Tech teams, which Bill Alexander and BUlek Whelchel will tell you could have been 60 to 0 in each game, going all the way out.

"Army teams could hold the Rocfcne attack to small scores," Red Blaik told me. "We couldn't hold this 1943 team to any small score, even with Bertelli missing. They hit us with too much speed and pow­er at too many spots."

The 1943 N. D. team had a bigger, faster line.. It had, much bigger, faster ends. It had a much better backfield with BertelUt Greighton Milter, Bykovieh, Mello, Kelly, and several others. -.

And it had that smoothly clicking, devastating T-formation, hitting the opposition like a bazooka shell.

Bertelli Most Dangerous Above all—in Bertelli 1943 Notre

Dame had a quarterback far more dangerous on the scoring side than Carideo ever came close to being.

It,is my belief that Notre Dame's 1943 team, ysrith Berteia in action, could have beaten the 1936 team by two, or three touchdowns and wrecked the 'Four Horsepaetj thrqugh a -surplus;;M po$e§r, -deqegfion janrjC passing, j .doubt- iselore iie'rtelfl'IW that auy-4S43 pro team could have beaten^ it^-ajiid, Jhe pros B»t general, are v»efi "ahead*of -the egBeg^uiss

FRED MacMURRAY

Murray "No Time for Love." That hilarious comedy bears a striking resemblance to the story of the Gin­ger Rogers picture, and deserves to be rated among the year's top pro­ductions.

At the suggestion of Bette Davis, star of the picture,-Warner Bros. have changed the name of Douglas Drake to Johnny Mitchell, the name of the character he plays in "Mr. Skeffington." Gig Young also was named from a film character, his role in "The Gay Sisters."

On Broadway service men stand In line to get into "Destination To­kyo," along with the rest of the public. The picture was just as popular during its recent one-week run at the Mare Island naval hos­pital, San Francisco. Because many patients could not be moved to the hospital theater, a 16-mm. print was screened in wards and sick rooms.

"The Song of Bernadette" is an impressive picture; it was done beautifully, reverently, with dignity. Jennifer Jones, new to the screen, seems to have been perfectly cast as the heroine; many of the best actors and actresses in the theater and the motion pictures are in the cast, and all have given their best.

Paramount had a problem in "The Uninvited." The star-spangled cast includes Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, Donald Crisp and Gail Russell. Bnt there had to be an unseen actress who moans and weeps heartbroken-ly in the night, filling the hearts of yon and me and the rest of the audi­ence with cold terror. She's tbe ghost of a Spanish gypsy girl. Betty Farrington got the role.

When you hear a Marine called a "Leatherneck," it has nothing T» do with the epidermis of his-neefc. Years ago the Marine uniform wag equipped with a high stiff leather collar. F rom that time on, "Leath­erneck" has been the word far a Marine. The word for his favorite cigarette is "Camel"—the favorite cigarette also of men in the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard. (Based on actual sales records from serv­ice men 's stores.) And though there are Post Office restrictions on packages to overseas-* Army men, you can. still send Camels to soldiers in the U.
