arguments were dug from the football
archives here today as enthusiasts

clash of the year at West Point to-

defeated, will go into action on the
plains of West Point against the
powerful Notre Dame eleven. Slight
iy weakened by the loss of Vande-
graft and the absence of Gene Vidal,
the Army nevertheless is favored to
win. largely because of the fact that
Notre Dame was forced to- bow to
Nebraska which later lost to Mich

Army in their first meeting several

however, triumphed over this style
of attack year ago when the cadets

completed the hard work of the Jay
hawkers in preparation for their
second Missouri Valley contest with
the Kansas Aggies at Manhattan Sat
urday.
After a short scrimmage, the regu-
lars were relieved by the second-string
men and the showing of the substi-
tutes, both in the line and backfield,
was unusual The play was about
even in spite of the fact that the Has
kell men played the best game hey

once did the Indians score and that
was when a K. U. half fumbIed far
back of the line and the Haskell run
