NEW YORK, Nov. 13.--Saturday
is a day OF great possibilities.
Say that Syracuse beats Colgate,
Princeton wallops Yale and Brown
beats Dartmouth.
That would be an awful upheaval:
out such things are being done this
year.
The dopesters into whose hands
fall the task Of browning champions,
probably would commit suicide in
focks. For It would bring about
tangle OF dope strings that never
could be unwound.
Example of situation.
One little strand Of the knotted
tangle would be like this: Syracuse
beat Colgate; Colgate beat Prince
ton; Princeton beat Yale. But.
Washington and Jefferson beat Syr-
acuse. Pittsburg beat Washington
and Jefferson, and Syracuse beat
Pittsburg.
Let Brown beat Dartmouth. Then
the puddle will again be as clear as
mud. Brown beat Dartmou Yale
beat Brown; Princeton beat Yale
Cd; West Virginia beat Princeton;
Center college beat West Virginia.
If the dopesters don't pass out on
that job their fate seems sure when
it comes TO picking an all-American
backfeld. Among the few" to be
considered are Rodgers, West Vir-
ginia; Clio, Colgate; Harley, Ohio
State; Hastings. Pittsburg; Casey.
Harvard; Ackley. Syracuse; Robert
son, Dartmouth; Anderson, Colgate;
Trimble, Princeton; Kempton, Yale;
Erwig, Syracuse; Erickson, Wash
ington and Jefferson; Boynton, Will
liams, and just recently, Murphy,
Center college.
Strange Season.
Picking three out Of that crowd
is a job that needs acknowledging
scales of technique. brains, form
and everything else. Lots Of the
scribes would be willing to see an
injunction this year against the all
American team.
1t has been a strange season all
around. But in no way has it been
more unusual than in doping a

A frig5d atmosphere ideal for 20

piring gridirOn players drove the
Notre Dame squad into It's hibernal
quarters Thursday afternoon where
Coaches ROckne and DOrais unfurl-
ed several new plays 10 be used
against the Michigan Aggies Satur-
day.
That the Gold and Blue leaders
are anticipating all sorts or trouble
from the Saturday visitors is evil
dent from the way they worked their
charges yesterday. After holding a
long rehearsal indoors. Rockne herd
ed his flock into the open where a
series OF wind sprints was taken.
Dutch" Bergman was among the
athletes who took the sprints. His
injured knee is coming along nicely.
but he will not Iun the risk Of get
tins a setback by participating in
the NJ. A. g. contest. Rockne wants
10 have both Bergman and Malone
in prime condition for the game with
Purdue next week.
An Exciting Exhibition.
The Aggies are conceded TO have
an even chance OF beating NOtre

power against South Dakota COM
bired with the crippled condition OF
TIE local squad rightly makes IL an
equal choice with the Gold and Blue,
and only one OF those football de
bacles which usually overtake every
grid team at some time during the
season will rOut IL from its present
chance.
There is only one falling Of the
Notre Dame eleven that makes the
wise set suspicious OF them. Annu-
ally they struggle with Nebraska, the
Army and other big teams. only to
recede when they strike the Aggies
from Michigan. II must be that the
Wolverine farmers have some magic
spell they weave over Notre Dame.
for not in the last three engagements
have the locals played their best
when lighting the East Lansing
team
The old question OF whether
Rockne and Dorais can hold their
men in form for the battle with their
old rivals this season with special
significance. The question is wheth-
or Capt. Bahan's bunch rose to their
very highest in their three point vic
tory over the Army or whether they
were only on the way toward the
top OF form when they met and de-
feated the pride of the east
Coaches Troubled.
To those who have eyed Notre
Dame on successive Saturdays this
year know the team that beat the
Army last week played better foot
ball than at any time this season.
The quality OF its playing against the
cadets will have no bearing on what
II does 10 the Michigan Aggies. how
ever Last year the Gold and Glue
fought Nebraska and the powerful
Great Lakes eIeveas To standstus
only 10 fall before the Onslauchts
OF their ancient foe. That is what
the teams supporters fear most az
the present time
With ROckne and Dorais il is the
same old problem that Wilce of Ohio
state and Spears of Dartmouth and
a few other coaches have Grdppled
with this fall-the problem OF keep
ing the team on high plane once it
has arrived there. There can be no
doubt but that the Hoosier cham
pions were fighting with their very
best efforts last saturday Some
even aver that the locals played be-

A SUGGESTION FOR THE
WOMEN.

Those pieces of linen that seem to
be of no account to you undoubtedly
will make very nice chalice cloths
or finger towels for some mission
chapel, so don't throw them away.
There are a number of good, char
liable women who have written to the
Catholic Church Extension Society Of
fering to make up linen pieces into
articles for the altar, if they could be
sent to them. If you care to send
pieces of linen to the Catholic Church
Extension Society they will see that
they are forwarded to these kind
women, who will make them into the
different linen articles needed on the
altar.
If you have no linen In your home,
and would still like to help the mis-
sions in small way, the Extension
Society at $50 Mccormick Bldg, Chi
cago, ILL.,, would be glad to receive
your donation for the purchase of the
linen. You may rest assured that no
matter how small your gift may be,
if it is the most that you can give just
now Almighty God will see that you
are rewarded for your sacrifice.

AFRiCA'S APOSTLES SHOULD

The Fathers of the Holy Ghost

its history is sent to the S. P. F. by
Rev. A. Muller The missionaries Of
Africa are much in need of the con-
sideration of Americans, On whom,
like apostles in other fields, they rely
for comfort and support:
Our mission" says the Father,
has been in existence twenty-eight
years, and from the very start trials
and disappointments have been so
numerous that many younger stations
surpass it. At one time it's personnel
consisted of two priests and two
brothers, and it had twelve sub-sta-
tions.' Today l am alone here with
about six hundred Christians and
catechumens.
Il should establish several schools
in different localities, but the hard
part is paying the catechist-teachers.
Such catechists demand a salary Of
not less than one hundred and TWEEN
ty dollars a year, and the purpose Of
this letter is to solicit the support of
one or two from those accustomed to
give aims to the foreign missions.
