ROCKNE PREPARES
FOR THE 'AGG|ES'
Track Work Starts in Earnest
Today-Corby Hall Leads
InterhaII Basketball
League
BY Charles a. Grimes.

With the Michigan Aggies indoor
track meet less than two weeks away
Coach Rockne will commence this
evening TO drive his athletes
through some stiff practice that they
may get into splendid fettle for the
seasons opener. The NOtre Dame
Farmers meet will be staged in the
Notre Dame gym Saturday. Feb. 3.
Coach ROchne got a fair line on
the ability of his men in the handi-
cap meet last Friday. Although no
stars Of the first magnitude leaped
into prominence several Of the boys
showed considerable promise, and
it is to them that the y. d. mentor
will devote most of his attention
for the remainder Of the indoor sea-
son. Like most other colleges. No
tire Dame is shy on material this
season. Consequently, Rockne must
develop half dozen point winners
to aid Capt. Radamacher, Gilfillan
and Mulligan in the three indoor
meets.
speed" Mulligan, an old mono
gram man who has shown his heels
TO some of the best short distance
flyers in the middle west, returned
to the university Sunday. He will
don track toys this afternoon. Coach
ROckne counts heavily on Mulligan,
also LOckard. the diminutive star. in
the indoor season. Bill Hayes. for
mer national interscholastic cham
pion. will not be eligible until the
outdoor season comes around.
When not engaged in basket ball
practice. Gilfillan, the university
handy man, will work out for Rock
ne. The y. d. coach intends to use
him in the shotput and in the high
and low hurdles Gilfillan is a
broad jumper, but Rockne prefers
not to take any chances of losing
him as long as McGinnes and Vohs
are available. Gilfillan injured an
ankle in the Penn games last year
on his first jump. The injury kept
him out OF all other events. Since
then, at ROckne's suggestion, he has
dropped broad jumping.
Wabash comes TO Notre Dame
next Saturday night for one Of the
two annual basketball tussles. In
preparation for the game, Dorais
will work the Gold and Blue tossers
long and hard all week. Wabash is
nut that Notre Dame has always
found tough to crack.-in fact has
failed to crack for the last three
years. With Bader and Gipp back
for practice the squad looks strong
er than ever. Notre Dame fell down
on team work and shooting against
the Aggies Saturday night. Dorais
will strive TO iron out the defects i'm
the daily workouts this week.

why do they cali Ed Lewis
'Strangler?'"
A number Of fans have lately ad-
vanced this query, some few who
think that it is a melodramatic man
ner Of impressing the public with
the herculean strength of the man.
Others seem TO think that a top
notcher like Lewis must have a mon
isker like that to make a reputa-
ton
The truth of the matter is this:
Lewis does not like the title wished
on him by the soldiers IN his COM
pany who first saw him wrestle. for
Lewis, you know, is still a sergeant
in Uncle Sans service at Camp
Grant, and is appearing here on Feb.
Z at the Oliver theatre only on a fur
Tough granted him by the Camp
Grant authorities.
The title Stranger" was attached
to him because he has succeeded in
developing a head hold that no other
wrestler used up TO that time, and
the prefix thus given him bellies his
character. To his numerous mill
tary and civilian friends in Rock
ford and Chicago he is simply Ser
geant Ed.
Lewis is a wonderful type of
virile American manhood. agile.
powerful, with a beautiful body and
Of his craftsmanship, we might cite
the following: Last week in Cleve-
land he was fouled by an excited OPP
ponent, and could have claimed
fall on the foul, which the referee
called, but he simply smiled. ignored
the foul and went on with his work.
Critics take an immediate liking
to Lewis for the absolute fairness of
his mat tactics, and recognize in him
a combination of the qualities that
go to promote the wrestling game
it belongs.
John Freberg. the giant Swede
whom he wrestles next Friday night,
needs no introduction to South Bend
fans. The Martinson- Ere berg match
held recently at Magyar hall speaks
for the calibre of Freberg.
