will beat the Army, still the latter is
leaving nothing undone in being in
At condition for the ARRAY. 1t will
mark the western teams first inva-
sion of the east, and they are conf
dent of making 1t a successful one.
A crowd of local fans will meet the
Notre Dame team at the railroad sta
ton In New York early tomorrow to
accompany the team, to West Point.

Yale rush line from tackle to tackle
is the best on the gridiron this year.

Secret practise was again resorted
to yesterday afternoon by the football
officials of the Carlisle Indian School

ration of a series of new formations,
some of which will be used against
Georgetown at Washington tomorrow.
The Cornell football squad of
twenty-four men left for Boston last
night to play Harvard in the Stadium
tomorrow. 1t was the general opinion
that II the Ithacans could get to-
gether team for the first time this
year they would be able to give the
Crimson eleven a harder game than
was expected. Coach All Sharpe would
not make any statement other than
to say: II think that the team will
make a good showing"
Although the Army is not specially
preparing for the Notre Dame game
tomorrow. yet the spirit of frenzied
activity prevailing in the soldiers
camp durins the past few days would
indicate that the Westerners are just
now very much in the minds of those
who are guiding the destinies Of the
Army team. The good defensive
game OF the regulars yesterday raised
the hopes of the coaches that they
will be able to cope successfully with
Notre Danes open field tricks.
Using almost every variety of at

afternoon was put through the long

OF the workout was the excellent
punting OF Blodgett, the big fourth
classman, who was tried az halfbaok
