An Echo Prom Notre Dame.

All ECHO from NOtre Dame.
Knute Rockne's quite a famous man
Around this Hoosier town,
He's cornered nearly all there is
OF Notre Dame renown.
When strangers come upon trip
They take the kids so cute.
For some one always takes them
round
To have a squint at Knite.
OF all the college geniuses
For years ne took the bun;
They told him that he should
cash i'm
On all the fame he'd won.
Just take the Job as football coach
And garner all the dough;
You1l fade those high falutin' guys,
Take our advice. we know.
\ man like you has got the edge,
On every gridiron star:
Get in the big anne Knute. and give
The football realms a jar"
One day he packed the old suitcase
To do as he was bid;
He said he'd show the football
/ world
And here's the strangest part OF it
/ He did. the cuss, he did.
/ The final chapter in the annals
! Of the 1919 football season at Notre
| Dame will be written Sunday eve
ming in the nature of a banquet to
/ the squad. The feast will be held
/ at the oliver hotel at o'clock.
! Nonograms will he awarded the
/ Gold and Blue gridders and a cap
! tain will be elected TO succeed pete"
| Bahan. who holds the distinction Of

Three Track Meets
A track program which will keep
Capt Meehans bunch hustling
throughout the balance of the schol-
astic year will be opened after the
holidays Dual meets with three
members of the Big Ten have been
arranred. Two Of the contests will
be staged before the home folks.
Northwestern will appear here in
an indoor engagement that should
prove Of unusual interest. Charles
Bachman. one of the greatest weight
men ever developed at Notre Dame.
is in charge of the Evanston squad.
Illinois, always one Of the strongest
track teams in the middle west. will
] oppose Rocknes men in an outdoor
affair to be held on Cartier field.
Meehan will lead his athletes 70

but is ineligible for competition be-
cause of his participation in the

sured of first place in the dashes
Earl Gilfillan, stellar weight man,
has withdrawn from the university

Gold and Blue lamentably in the
