Leahy Speaks While we’re on the subject of schedules, we gleaned a tidbit from a Newspapers Enterprises Association interview with Frank Leahy, Notre Dame coach: The Irish have a vacancy on their '5O card, and Leahy "made it clear" that Noire Dame would have one more big East ern game, besides Navy, in '5O. "Penn and Penn State are eager io play Notre Dame," Leahy explained.

Booters Strive To Regain Win Soccer Coach Bill Jeffrey is now trying to put his Lion Pro teges back on the victory trail by preparing the team for Satur days contest with Maryland, one of the East’s strongest soccer ag gregations. The soccer victory train was temporarily derailed at Annapo lis last Saturday when Middie booting forces upset the Lions, 4-0. It was a black day for the Blue and White soccermen, who were out to make it three straight and also one of the worst defeats suf fered by the Jeffreymen in recent years. Lacking the scoring pun c h which they ably demonstrated in their first two victorious outings, the Jeffrey booters had 16 shots at the Navy goal but they were unable to push a score past all- Amcrican goalie A 1 Schauffel berger. The Middies opened their scor ing barrage with two goals in the opening quarter against starting goalie Ed Watson and added one more against Jim Gibson before the teams left the field for the half. Although they were outplayed in the field, the Midshipmen’s /1- tack sparkled with long passes upfield from their fullbacks with the forward line carrying the brunt of the attack while the halfbacks remained far enough back to form an impregnable line of defense with the fullbacks.
