putting the west on the football map
when Manager Venue telegraphed to
Coach Harper of Notre Dame closing

patches from the east tell of q game
between Yale and Notre Dame thereby
bringing the Missouri Valley In close
rela uon with the down east" elevens
for the first time in the fifty or sixty
years of intercollegiate football.
AS one of the fans here puts II.
"Notre Dame will play two of the
most important teams in the country.
Yale university and Haskell institute:
That a government Indian schooi
should thereby come in close compar-
ison with one Of our leading education

and to the Indian race"
According to the dispatches Yale
and Notre Dame will play on Oct. "a.
and the Haskell game comes three
weeks later. and will be a direct com

Football followers here are well salts
fled to let Haskell carry the banner OF
the Missouri Valley in this sport, 1or
the redskins have proven their worth
on the gridirOn, and expect to put
even a better eleven on the field next
year.
In wears gone by Haskell has won
many glorious victories on the grid

more ground from the Missouri Valley
elevens than the United States govern.

There is a world of truth in this re.
mark for while the exact data Is not at
hand, Haskell probably gained total
yardage of something like three thou
sand yards in collecting their sixty
odd touchdowns for their total OF 431
points. But in scheduling this one
game for Haskell with Notre Dame,
Manager Venue has won a victory
which is worthy of special mention.

and the Indian Race in a position to
win great honor and renown.
Famous Veterans in Play.
Haskell will need to be stronger
than last year to stand any chance OF
beating the big Indiana team. They

havoc on the line of all their Oppon-

whom were defeated. Notre Dame

to register fifteen. Besides Eichen-
laub, Dorias. quarterback, is the star
Of the big Catholic team. He made
much the same reputation last fall in
their games as did Flood of Haskell
in the Missouri Valley, and the COM
parison between these two able field
generals next fall should indeed be in
teresting, and Coach Kennedy believes
his elongated Sioux boy will not be
found wanting when the time comes
to deliver the goods.
Judging from dope. Haskell and
Notre Dame play much the same style
of game, for 1t was the forward passes

finishing touches to West Point last

did the Indians. The Notre Dame
Christian Brothers college contest re-
suited in a 20 to tally, while the
Haskell-Christian Brothers college
game stood SO to 10 in favor of Coach
Kennedy's team. Notre Dame, how
ever, was probably holding back for
their game with the University of
Texas, which gave them a great battle
on Thanksgiving day. Texas univer-
sity wanted Haskell for their Turkey

reserving that date for Kansas City

opponent. Notre Dame will play
