INDIANS NAVY AND
SYRACUSE ON SCHEDULE
With Securing of Yale Game
Notre Dame Schedule is
More Attractive Than Any
Western College.

NOtre Dame will meet Yale in foot
ball. oct. nth, 1914. in the Yale bowl
at New Haven This was the an
nOuncement made by Athletic Director
Harper yesterday. The official word
as 10 the final arrangement of this
game has been eagerly awaited for
several weeks by NOtre Dame students.
The first hint that there would be a
contest between the two schools came
during the Christmas holidays, when
Yale requested Harper To hold oct
9TH open on his 1914 schedule. Since
that time the athletic mOguls Of Yale
and Notre Dame have been filing in
the details.
This games with those already with
Syracuse, West Point and the Carlisle
Indians, completes perhaps the great
est schedule which the gold and blue
ever bOasted Without doubt it con-
tains more games with big eastern
clevens than was ever obtained by any
other western school.
When NOtre Dame trOunced the
Army last fall by a 30 to Is count the
big Eastern universities saw that no
longer could they claim national foot
ball supremacy unless they proved
their right TO il bV downing such
western schools as were continually
administering defeats TO the teams Of
the east Harvard took the initiative
and attempted to schedule a contest
with Chicago. The MarOons would
not agree TO the Crimson terms and
the dicllering came to naBght.
Harvard then turned her attention
TO Michigan and for a time met with
no enCOuragement 1t was finally ar
ranged however. that Michigan should
play at Cambridge for the next two
years and that in 1916 Harvard should
como 20 Ann ArbOr. In the mean
while Yale had also endeavOred to sign
up a game with Chicago. The Blue

Big Event for y. ID.
The Yale game for 1914 is by far
the greatest football tilt ever carded
for a Notre Dame team. In past
years the Michigan fray used TO be
considered headliner. During the
season of 1914 Notre Dame students
thought that by playing the Army
their team was getting we'll along
amon0 the big guns in athletics, but
IN 1914 the gold and blue is going to
the very top To- tackle the best that
the east can offer.
This tilt with Yale means a great
deal TO Notre Dame football. For
many years the locals have been turn
ing out eievens that would have won
championships If the big teams had
been scheduled. The 1909 team at
Notre Dame was considered by ath-
lctic sharps TO be the peer Of all col
lege elevens, not excepting the Won
derful Yale team of that year. In
1903 the blue, with such men on its
roster as Ted Coy, kirkpatrick and
Bomeisler. had one Of the most sue
cessful teams in the history of foot
ball. In 1913 football authorities
ranked Notre Dame second To Har-
ward many believing that If il came
TO a tussle for the championship be-
tween these two teams. the gold and
blue men would come out on top be-
cause OF their ability TO use the for
ward pass and open game with such
telling effect.
Judging by the scores of the Notre
Dame. Army Colgate and Yale games
during the past fall, the gold and blue
had 10 on Yale in every way. Colgate
soundly trounced the blue 16 10 8.
Colgate fell before the Army to 6,
while West Point was hopelessly
crushed by Notre Dame 80 TO Is. The
