MUESSELS ARE TOO FAST
FOR HEAVY ELKHARTANS

Succumbing to the versatile attack
of the Muessels, the Elkhart Athletic
eleven was battered about the Spring
brook park gridiron Sunday afternoon
and defeated by a score og 13 TO 0.
The visitors were unable to solve the
plays of the South Bend team, al
though practically nothing but
straight football, except on one or two
occasions. was used by the Muessels.
The field was difficult for speedy
play, which prevented the Muessels
from piling up a bigger score, but the
spectators enjoyed the contest be
cause of the display Of stubbOrnness
on the part of the Elkhartans. This
probably was the last game of the
season for the South Bend eleven,
which has gone through the season
with a creditable record, having met
many of the strongest teams in north
ern Indiana. The Athletics defeated
the South Bend team at Elkhart sew

DOPE UPSET BY
SATURDAY GAMES

Notre Dame football fans are busy
figuring out the dope upsets, which
were occasioned by the results of the
Harvard-Yal and DartmOuth-Syra-
cuse games in the east, Saturday.
There was general disappointment
among the students at Harvard
overwhelming victory at the expense
of Yale. The local school fans had
been pulling for a Yale victory and
the crushing defeat handed Old Eli
by the sons Of Harvard was a sur
prise.
While there had been little specu-
lation as to the outcome of the Dart
mouth Syracuse game, no such one
sided defeat as Syracuse suffered at
the hands of the green, had been eX-
pected.
Dartmouth's victory over Syracuse
will only inspire the Notre Dame
eleven to greater efforts Thanksgiv-
ing The result Of the game Saturday
showed the possibilities of light and
speedy team against the heavy SYRIA
cuse aggregation. Notre Dame will
be greatly outweighed by the eastern
ers, but the rooters are counting upon
the gold and blues speed and open
play to bring home the bacon.
Although no announcement has
been made by authorities, it is prob
leave for the east sometime tOmor-
row.
With one expectiOn, all Of the
workouts since the Carlisle game
have been in the big gymnasium, the
snow preventing outdoor practice.
The team has progressed favOrably,
however, in the indoor workouts.
Capt. Jones is out Of the infirmary
and will undoubtedly appear in the
career. "Deac" has been laid up with
bruised leg a result of the Carlisle
game, but he was out in a suit Satur-
day afternoon.
The game Thanksgiving will COM
plete the season for NOtre Dame and
will bring TO an end what is perhaps
one of the hardest, if not the hardest
schedule ever attempted by any team
in football history.

Failure on the part Of the Wiscon-

camp about Juneau's resignation and
