NOtre Dame Grid
Team Breaks All
Records for Travel

Foot ban is certainly an educational
asset Of Notre Dame.
Any member of the Notre Dame var
sity foot ball eleven who has had a
poor knowledge Of the geography Of the
United States. should have been able 70
recognize the map OF Uncle Sans do
mains at the conclusion of the recent
season. If he didn't It is a wonder that
he was a member of the varsity.
The reason Is simple. The 1915 Notre
Dame team covered just 7.O74 miles in
travelling to complete the schedule. In
travelling those 7,O74 miles the Notre Dame
eleven travelled through no less than
twelve states. Notre Dame PLAYED as
far east as West Point on the Hudson
as far west as Lincoln. Neb.. and as far
north as either Omaha or South BEND
and as far south as Houston.
In covering such an enormous territory.
Notre Dame players got an idea OF what
a big portion of the United States looks
like. incidentally the Hoosiers set a
travelling record that has seldom been
equalled In the history OF foot ball
Notre Dame Is a road team. as only
three games Of the entire schedule were
played on the home grounds. which
makes the good showing of the eleven ali
the more remarkable.
