INJURIES HANDICAP
n. D. GRID PRACTICE
Rockne's Regulars Still Suffer
From Gathering at Ne
braska.

" nttutI the NOlIS Odue uISl
string lineup will be intact when
Rockne sends his warriors against
the beefy aggregation from VAL
paraiso Saturday becomes more and
more a matter OF conjecture as the
date Of the fray approaches. Ger
tainly IL the game had been played
yesterday there would have been
three, and perhaps four. substitutes
in the places of regulars who were
injured In the Nebraska game.
Left guard was evidently the cen
ter OF the CornhuSker attack.
Movie" Smith, the midget regular.
was held out OF the practice as d
result Of a general battering received
at Lincoln. His principal under
study. I'D Decree, who got into the
game in the final period will be out
Tor a week or more because Of leg
injuries. Roger Kiley, left end, and
Joe Brandy, quarterback, were both
In uniform but Rockne would allow
neither TO put in any rough work.
Brandy suffered a wrenched should
er and Kiley is recuperating from
numerous minor injuries.
Grant May Start.
However that may be Rockne is
confident OF putting an eleven in the
field that will travel at as fast a clip
as that which conquered the Corn
huskers. Chef Grant. veteran quar-
terback is exhibiting improved
FORM day by day and gradually
climbing back into a place among
the leaders. His three year layoit
may have caused Grant TO forget
something of the Notre Dame sys-
TEN of play but II has not effected
his speed 10 any considerable eX-
tent. on one occasion yesterday he
took the ball from punt and easily
evaded four tacklers without the
benefit Of any interference. He may
start in place of Brandy Saturday.
Dave Hayes, a two year monogram
man, will replace Kiley in event the
the Chicago speedster is not able 10
start.
Spectators were barred from the
field again while Rockne put his
charges through two hours of rapid
ire signal practice. None Of the
plays he used against Nebraska were
rehearsed and il Is evident that the
coach either depends on the speed
and spirit of the Irish TO defeat VAL
po or that he intends to spring an
other set of unusual tactics in the
final workouts.
VaIpo After Title.
The Nalpo game is going TO go
a long way toward deciding the In
diana championship this year. The
west-staters coming out in their
second year on the gridiron have de-
veloped a squad which is not 10 be
considered lightly as a contender for
honors. What has been a three
cornered fight between Notre Dame.
Indiana and Purdue must now be
made into "A four square affair with
NalpO in the other corner. When
Ealpo held Harvard to a 21-0 count
she readily placed herself in the
limelight as the huskiest youngster
10 appear on Hoosier gridirons in
years.
Expect Record Crowd.
Cartier Field is being prepared
for the reception of the largest
crowd in history Saturday. Morris
Starrett, who Is handling the erec-
ton OF new bleachers states that
accommodations Will be provided for
at least 5000 by Saturday. Besides
the two permanent stands on either
side OF the field temporary bleach
ers are being erected behind the
goal posts in the space formerly oc-
Cupled Tor parking dutomOOlleS. NO
cars will be allowed in the park
Saturday but must be parked on the
Brownson athletic field just west of
the park Enclosure.
The east side stands will be re-
served for Notre Dame students and
a contingent from St. Marys college.
A special section will be provided
for students with their girl friends.
Valparaiso's contingent Of 500 or
more students will occupy two sec
tons Of the new west stands.
