Note that we say "near halt" because the versity of Detroit has a final engagement scheduled with St. Mary in California one week from Sunday. Saturday's and Sunday's games aren't going to accomplish great deal for any of our teams, the die having been cast. The con-f elusion is that the State will have no more reason to look back on war-time football of 1942 than it did after the 1918 season. Stadium.

While Detroit's largest football gathering of the year fans watched In amazement, the Shamrocks annihilated the defenses of Ilam-trnmcli, Clly League champion, for a 48-0 victory In the fifth annual Goodfellows Fund charity game. Catholic Central displayed high-school football at its best. The wide running of Tommy Groth and Frank Gawronski was superb. The blocking they received was even more so. And the fact the Shamrocks' defense permitted the Cosmos to gain only 53 yards rushing is conclusive proof of the impregnable defense set in front of the foe.

TWO OF A KIND The victory was Catholic Central's second triumph over the Cosmos this season by exactly the same score. It also was the second time the Shamrocks have defeated Hamtramck in a Goodfellowgame which gives Catholic teams an even break with the City League in the five-year series. U. of D.

This number of defeats Is sufficient to arouse curbstone critics who are satisfied with nothing short of an all-victorious season.

We have heard criticism on a couple of points. One is that Michigan did not substitute enough, the idea being that the presence of fresh athletes In the line-up might have saved a game or two. H. O.

The brilliant back scored on runs of 12, 24 and 33 yards. He also took a pass from Frank Gawron-Kki for an extra point to jump his total to 19 points in one game. Gawronski, too, garnered high honors by scoring two touchdowns and passing to Bob Hathaway for a third.

On another day, while hunting the Saddle Trail in Blaney Park with Fred Bear, of Detroit, we heard an unearthly racket coming out of the woods, and when we looked up, there was a pair of ravens chasing two American eagles.

The eagles came back time after time, soaring above a certain dense spot in the swamp, but the ravens held their own. We assumed that the ravens probably had a monopoly on some carrion and were not willing to give it up.
