Iowa, Saturday, was a costly one
George Gipp, right halfback, had
his right leg broken just above the
ankle and will be out of the game
for the balance of the season. The
accident occurred early i'm the first
quarter and seemed TO have a dis
heartening effect on the team dur
ing the forepart of the game. 1t
was not until the second quarter
that the first score was made.
Rydzewski, for the third time this
season, intercepted a forward pass,
and by a great burst of speed ran
40 yards for the first touchdown.
Big Frank" caught passes intended
for opponents at Madison, against
Wisconsin, and at West Point,
against the Army, and ran for a
good distance after each catch, but
yesterday was the first time that he
succeeded in making a score follow
ing an interception.
Feel Loss of Gipp.
The NOtre Dame players feel the
loss Of Gipp keenly. Besides being a
favorite with. all the athletes, Gipp
was rapidly developing into one of
the best men on the team. Gipp did
not report for practice early this
fall, and il was not until after the
Wisconsin game that he put in an
appearance. He was not at his best
against Nebraska and was used only
during a part of the game. He play
ed a whirlwind game against South
Dakota two weeks ago on Cartier
field. and against the Army it was
his long, dashing end runs that nom
plused the cadets and brought the
ball close to the Army goal line,
from where his backmate, Brandy,
was able to score. Gipp was captain
of the Notre Dame - me- lam
Ia year ago, and worked up quite a
reputation as drop kicker His

Sorin and COrby Tie.
Sorin battIed Corby 20 to :
tie Sunday morning at Notre Dame.
Larrazola, Lockard and Mulligan did
The heavy work for Sorin. The Corby
touchdown was the direct result Of
forward pass that was Illegally
completed. At least that is the Sorin
version Of it, but all the budding
lawyers in that domicile could not
convince the referee.
The fast going Walsh hall team
was only able to run up two touch
downs on the fighting Brownson
team i'm the afternoon. Mohardt, the
Oliphant of Brownson hall, almost
single-handed ripped through the
heavier Walsh team at viii. and had
he had anyone 10 assist him in his
long marches down the field his
team might have won.
