Reports of the wonderful playing
of shorty Miller are branded as alb
solutely grOundless The story OF the
contest was handled by Penn State
men who lauded the State quarter
back for things he never did. The
story OF Fridays game credited Miller
with remarkable skill in running
back punts while at no time during
the game did the Quaker leader re-
turn the Notre Dame kicks more than
four or five yards and generally he
was downed the instant he caught the
ball
Dorais Outshines Miller.
Dorais far outshone the easteTrf~S
in every department OF the game. The
little Notre Dame general duplicated
his splendid performances OF the
West Point game and proved con-
clusively that he is the superior not
only of Miller but Of every quarter
back both in the east and west. At %
time in Fridays battle did Miller con-
pare with Dorais. The Penn Sta
man used poor judgment especially ON
the defense and in handling the for
ward pass he was almost helpless.
Miller did very clever work in carry
ing the ball but the length OIL runs
was greatly magnified. Only twice
did he get away for twenty yard
gains and although he took the ball
on two-thirds of PENIS rushes and
far outplayed his teammates, MS
work at no time was on par with
that of Dorais.
Runs Eighty Yards For Goal.
Dorais put up the best game of his
career. On one occasion he eluded
the entire Penn state defense and
raced eighty yards for a touchdown
but was called back on the charge OF
stepping out of bounds. In the second
period he dashed around the Quakers
end for a thirty-five yard gain putting
Notre Dame in position TO score on
the next play His manipulation of
the forward pass was flawiess- In the
final quarter three successive heaVeS
to Pliska netted a total OF fifty-five
yards and it was a forward pass TO
ROckne that brought Notre Dame
first touchdown. In kicking and in
pointed his opponent and his splendid
generalship was largely responsible
for the gold and blue victory.
Every man in the Notre Dame line
