This 30+ page newspaper has loads of college football reporting in the sport's section with a three column headline on the front page of this section (inside): "NOTRE DAME BOWS" with subheads that include: "Kinnick and Piepul Go Over for Touchdowns" and more. Coverage continues on page 3 with lineups (see ).
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally very nice.
