stated that these regulations would
stand in detail. No commaCding
officer of the S. 4. T c. will be per-

war department which forbid out
of-town trips requiring absence from
schools other than Saturday after

COACH ROCKNE
IS DISAPPOINTED
Notre Danes Football Coach
Can't Get Players to
Learn Signals.

As might have been expected
from a lot Of colts, the green. new
team representing Notre Dame this
year IS breaking its gait and going
10 pieces under the steady training
they have been receiving. and espe-
cially now since they are being
speeded up so as 90 nose out, If
possible. the strong. fast team from
the Municipal pier. Wednesdays
scrimmage brought cut this fact as
plain as daylight. and Rockne for
the first time showed signs of dis
cOuragement.
They don't think walled the
coach. They don't think. and they
can't learn signals" old fans know
what Rockne, Of all coaches. thinks
Of man who can't or won't think.
At the first Of the season Rockne
praised the squad for enthusiasm
and fighting spirit, and counted on
these things TO bring the men for
ward in the science OF football i'm
spite Of their green timber. and up
till now they have not disappointed
him. But the time has come now
for a real old-time y. D. team-one
that can out-think and Outright
most opponents and meets defeat
only before superior weight and SUI
perior speed. The time has come
for that kind OF a team because the
very next game. only two days off.
IL with a team Of heady, strong
players.
NOtre Dame knows how 20 take
defeat and 20 cheer their conquer
ors IL they play a mans game; but
Notre Dame does not like TO be
beaten because they are boobs them
selves. Rockne has been at NOtre
Dame a good many years and has
played in the biggest days Of NOtre
Danes biggest football, and ever
since then he has been active one
way or another IN training his sue
cessors, and ne has never yet had to
deal with a bunch that could not or
would not learn their signals.
The scrimmage Tuesday between
the varsity and the seconds gave
only a so score in favor of the first
string. and the discouraging thing
was that both teams got all bungled
UP on their signals. LOckard, who
plays quarter, and Kirk, one OF the
ends were both hurt Mohardt is
playing a good game at half.
Owing 70 the energy Of Rev. John
Farley. rector Of Walsh hall no sec
ond meeting was necessary to get
squad OF Walsh hallers out and
Tuesday afternoon at least 80 men,
separated into two squads, were
practicing hard on the Walsh-Badin
campus. Fr. Farley is an old vars
ity football man himself and was
star in baseball also. During his
time he was the best hitter and base
runner at the university. That is one
reason he can put so much ginger
into even a lazy aggregation. Walsh
won the inter-h hall championship
last year, and FIR. Farley says they
are going &c win IL again.
A new development In Notre Dame
athletics will be the inter-cOmpany
schedule which is being worked out.
Meetings have been held by every
company in the local S. A. T. c., and
the sentiment in every instance was
strong for inter-company football
contests.
