N. (. A. Staff Special.

Notre Dame. Ind :, Oct. 9.-How the
Notre Dame line holds out against OPP
posing forward grid machines which
outweigh 1t man for man has been a
great problem which confronts critics.
Each year Coach Knute Rockne, of
the Irish squad, takes his eleven 70
West Point and holds the big army
line in spite of the fact. that it is
usually outweighed. Eastern critics
are unable to understand why Rochne
picks such light linesmen and are sur
prised to see the results obtained by
him
Last season Rockne's squad was one
of three in the country and the only
one of the west which went through
the seasons play without having it's
escutcheon smeared by a single defeat.
And it took on such teams as Nebras-
ka, the Army, Indiana and Purdue
And last year the Gold and Blue line
was small.
Teaches Crouch.
Rockne explains that he wants men
on the line who have spring in them
who are able to throw their force at
an opponent on the spur of the mo-
sition which he terms the "coiI posi-
ton" That is, he has his linesmen
face their opponents in a crouch
which enables them to spring forward
on snap signal and take the oppo-
uents by surprise. So his men become
set like a rattlesnake coiled up for
a spring at an enemy.
To look at man in this position
doesn't convince one that Rockne is
right. 1t appears more as though the
player was resting or taking it easy
Yet the position stunt of Rockne's
brings results. His men always get
the jump on opponents which give
them big advantage.

years this fall He has a good line of
