ny the brand Of football Notre Dame
exhibited on Cartier field yesterday
afternoon. Twenty-three points was
an the gold and blue could score
against a team that was experience
ing Its seventh straight defeat. For
tunately on Offense, NJ. A. G. had
nothing more than the proverbial
prayer" and a lot of night. One
urst down was all they could score
throughout the game
-Four forward passes on four sue
cessive downs went awry immediate
lis after Notre Dame had received
the N. A. e. kickoff at the opening
Of the contest, and from that time
on Until the end Of the hrst half
the gold and blue play was pathetic.
The men were apparently astourded
at the failure OF their pet aerial
plays and they messed mp their
gains by frequently holding and
playing onside Bahan and smith
CrOssed the VI A. G. goal with the
ball ON separate occasions only to
have the plays brought back, their
GAINS disallOwed. and penalties in
flicted The only forward pass
Notre Dame completed during the
game immediately preceded the first
Notre Dame touchdown. Allison
sent a long flyer over the center of
the line, and Dave Hayes going
straight down, cut across and caught
the pass on the dead run. He was
downed but only after a 80 yard
gain. Smith carried the ball over
from the 10 yard line.
y. -. Play Improves.
The Notre Dame play improved
perceptibly I'm the second half-the
coaches had had their inning be
tween the halves. Smith was on his
toes at the kickOff and returned the
ball 90 yards. Two plays made it
first down, and then Bahan raced
down right end, stir armed three
tacklers. and made 80 yards for q
touchdown Though Notre Dame did
not score further in the third
quarter her play was cleaner, FUN
bles were fewer. and forward pass
81 were taboOed.
NJ. A c. had a punt blocked at
the beginning Of the final quarter
that rolled behind her goal and
went for a safety and two points for
Notre Dame. During this period
Harper substituted man after man
until Notre Dame had an entire
substitute backfeld and only a few
regulars in the line. Barry was the
particular star OF the last quarter.
once ne made Is yards around
right end but somebody was offside
and the gain was not allowed.
L,ockard called the same play over
again and Barry outsprinted the
whole NJ. \. G. team and never stop
ped until he had covered AZ yards
and placed the oval behind the NJ.
a. G. goal posts. Big Franz" Ry
dzevski kicked his third goal OF the
day. \ 20 yard run by Lockard
was the last feature Of the game.
The play ended on the NJ. A. c. five
yard line with the Farmers in pos
session of the ball.
Brandy Punts Far and High.
stanley and Allison were hurt
badly IN the first quarter OF the
same stanley could not walk from
kick IN the ankle and his team
mates had 20 carry him from the
neId: Allison was hurt about the
neck as Notre Dame made her first
touchdown. but managed 20 stick in
the fray. The game furnished "a
new punting marvel for NotuS
Dame. II was no other than the
midget Joe Brandy OF Army game
fame. With Decree and Miller on
the side lines. Harper had to have
someone 10 kick and ne chose
Brandy for the job. II is the literal
truth that every time the little
right halfback put his 13S pounds
behind tie sphere IL travelled no les
than 50 Yards and on no less than
TWO occasions Il went so yards.
smith played q fine game az full
9-sck.
n. 4. c. deserves great credit for
tile eight she put up throughout the
contest \ team with "a percentage
OF geo for six games might be
thought TO be merely playing out
its schedule, but the Farmers shew-
ed about everything else yesterday
except a disposition 10 despair. NJ.
A. c. has seen better days: and bet
ter days lie ahead.
