YEARLINGS FALL
BEFORE VARSITY
Football Game is Staged on
Cartier Field by N. D.
Team and Freshmen.


Sans Knute X Rockne. the al
vertised ncld general Of the fresh
men forces. members OF last years
gridi-on squad. had little trouble n
humiliating the yearlings in a regu-
lation football game on Cartier field
Tuesday afternoon. The score was
is TO o. Verbal bombs hurled by a
sarcastic coach could not rally the
yearIing forces, and their defense
proved far from puncture proof.
and their cnense not very imposing.
Rockne had planned to don a suit
and play quarterback for the men
who first came 10 NOtre Dame last
September but at the last minute
he thought better Of II and decided
20 let them work out their own sa.-
walton.
Little Gireral" LOckard. signal
yeller for the varsity. proved the
shining light OF the game. He I'M
dOuhtedly made the most OF the men
at his command, and he himself ad-
vanced the ball on occasion with
telling effect. Miller, Brandy an
Powers, his backGeld men. respond
ed beautifully TO the plays he chose,
and after the first few minutes OF
play il was unmistakable that tho
varsity would win. Some writing
plays through center by Locka-d
completely fooled the yearlings, aud
he worked this pet bit Of camOu-
occasion il netted touchdown.
Powers. on a pretty cross BUCK,
scored a second touchdown. Ma
her, freshman quarterback, addS
two points 10 the varsity total that
never would have been annexed had
Rockne been at the position. The
director Of the yearlings made the
fatal mistake Of trying 10 return
the ball from his vineyard line, and
in the melee that followed he was
crowded back over the goal line for
a safety.
VOhs Is discovered"
Vohs was the best bet uncovered
i'm the freshman bunch. His block
ing and tackling were Of the most
effective sort. and if he is on hand
next fall ROckne can congratula e
himself on having "a man that will
be hard for any team to handle.
Murphy at the other tackle also did
we'll Behind the line. Dooley, the
mammoth fullback. did the major
portion of advancing the ball,
though he received able assistance
2t times from Donovan, Lombard
and M6hardt.
Coach Rockne expressed himself
as well pleased with the first game
Of the year. The men have uu-
doubtedly improved on fundame l.
tails during the practice thus IA.
and no grand attempt had been
made TO develop teamwork for yes
1erday's contest The daily practice
grind is 20 be continued for time
following the Easter recess,
