Great Battle for IntarSectionaI
Football Supremacy Expect

Open Game Meet.

One OF the biggest intersectional
battles carded for 1919 football season
IN which NOtre Dame will uphold the
honor OF the west and the Carlisle In

staged IN Chicago on Nov. II. The
contest SHOULD prove a battle royal
and viii serve as a rare treat to foot
Pail enthusiasts not only in Chicago
put TO those throughout the whole
middle west.
For years the Notre Dame alumni
have been clamoring for a big game

which a team from their alma mater
would clash with an eleven Of cham
pionshIp calibre. At last their desire
will be fulfilled and they Will be able
10 see their team in action IN one OF
the most vital football contests OF the
year.
When the gold and blue machine
stacks mp against the famous red
skins next November. football critics
will have a chance TO see the forward
pass and open game, perfected in the
past by Carlisle and In the west by
Notre Dame. at the highest notch OF
deficiency. NOtre Dame by her bril-
Xiiant and sweeping victories over
West Point. Texas and South Dakota
clearly proved that the forward pass
lis a sure shot in modern football.
THE HocsierS put all their hopes on
the open game and scored repeatedly
in tight places where most elevens
would not hazard forward pass.
Redskins In Open Game.
Carlisle, IL will be remem bered, was
the greatest ground gamer in the
east. The Indians seldom ran up a
score OF less than two figures and
several times, even against such teams
as Syracuse and Dartmouth. the red
skins accounted for thirty points and
more. The secret Of these high scores
was the clever, almost reckless attack
OF Coach Warmers crew. Like NOtre
Dame in the west, the Indians revert
ed TO the open game and developed II
10 such a state that they were prac-
tically unbeatable. Shortly after
Dartmouth had triumphed over Har-
ward. when the green was looked upon
as the greatest team In America, Car
Isle smothered the Hanoverians 35

sible for most of Carlisle's gains.
Thus when the opening whistle is
blown for the Notre Dame-Carlisle
tilt in November, two elevens that de-
pend on the open game for victory

east west will fight IL out for

as Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Syracuse
and Pittsburgh.
II Notre Dame pulls out a victory
over Carlisle she will have an excel
lent chance TO cop the championship.
During the season of 1913 the Indians
were rated the second best eleven in
the east and I'm the opinion OF many
Ecritics they would have dOwned Har-

GuyOn a Marvel.
Carlisle landed one man on the An

considers that Warner pulled Guyon
from tackle TO back he can see that
the redskins were not at their best

stars, but a little below Guyon in
