Time-S o'clock. Place-Cartier
field.
ore Of the toughest battles of the
Notre Dame gridiron season, is being
eagerly awaited on Cartier field this
afternoon At o'clock the Notre
/ Dame eleven and the husky Haskell
Indians from the southwest will clash
in their annual gridiron struggle.
During the past several days Coach
/ Harper has been drilling his men be-
/ hind closed gates in order To get them
| in the best possible shape for todays
encounter. Despite the fact that Has
keH was defeated by Illinois So to 0
: last Saturday, the Notre Dame mentor
expects a hard battle. Assistant Coach
| Rockne, who witnessed the Illinois
| Haskell game, declares that the score
does not show the real ability of the
aborigines and the feeling is general
among followers of the game that he
! is right in his contention.

( Haskell game does not show the true
merit of the Indians. They are far
stronger than the score would indi-
/ cate"
Coach Harper has been pointing
/ towards the Haskell game since the
practice season started and he has
declared all along that he expects the
Indians to be one of the hardest OPP
pOnents of the year for the locals. Last
year the husky redskins battled Notre
Dame to a 20 to score. The Haskell
bunch was full of fight and gave the
Hoosiers one of their hardest games
of the season. This year the Indians
are said to be fully as strono as ever.
Haskell will have an advantage over
Notre Dame in that ii has already met
one strong team. The Indians have
profited by their experience and Coach
Kennedy has been working his men
hard all week in order to get them in
the best possible shape for the NOtre
Dame clash. The Indians are deter
mined to take the Scalps of the white !
men today.
In addition to his regular team, |
Coach Kennedy has the following sub !
stitutes with him: King, Deere, Fra /
zier Taner, Everidge, Dunbar L. Ev-
ans and McCloskey.
Notre Dame Gets Light Workout.
IL - n,
team a light workout in the gymna- !
SUM yesterday afternoon in final /
preparation for the game. Because /
of the rain, he refused TO allow his /
men TO work out Of doors.
The Notre Dame eleven will be con- |
siderably changed from that which !
started the game against Alma last /
Saturday. Phelan will be at quarter |
back in place of Bergman and the /
latter will start the contest at right /
halfback. where he has been showing |
good form this week. McInerny, the
big South Bend sophomore, will start
the game at right tackle In place OF /
"HoOt" King, who is on the injured /
list and Hugh O'Donnell Will supplant /
Rydzewski at center.
The varsity backs have shown con-
siderable improvement in their work /
during the past week of practice. 4
Bachman is hitting the line better and |
running better interference from the
fullback position, while Bergman has
been showing good form at his new
position at right half Cofau is round /
ing into his old time form at left half 1
back and Phelan, whose generalship /
featured the last quarter of last Sat
