He'll probably - hailed -
zuppke's and this ysas. Hs sprung
. eurprlse In the Iowa game Ay
dropkickiny from the 35-yard tine
the hfst to be u1Ade on the Hint
field from that point in several
yeafs. Peden, the Lombard col
lego recruit, looks promising.
zuppke's forward pass comhtna-
ton. Walquist and varney, have
not had IN opportunity to demon
strate their full ability 20 fAf. But
when Zuppke opens up some Of his
stuff. they'll be big Assets. VaFnsy
seldom fails b get down under
punts, while Walquist is shifty be-
sides showing rare form n throw
ing passes.
None of Zuppkes PCT plays have
been exposed vet. He's saving
them. Tomorrow. Minnesota, with
a badly crippled team, ID expected
to take heavy count against them.
Then will come Chicago. Wisconsin
aud finally Ohio State. Still
"Zupp" hopes to make it three
titles in a row. It's q corking
good bet that he does.
NOTRE DANE TO GIVE WEST
POINT FIGHT.
"Sic 'em now! Tear 'em up!
Charged"
At that command q husky fellow
10 moleskins. digs his cleats deep
into the turf, grits his teeth and
smashes into the swinging dummy.
That's the daily grind at Carter
field. where Notre Danes pigskin
warriors have been learning how
to defeat West Point, whom they
meet tomorrow above THE beauty
spot Of Americas Danube" the
Hudson river.
Whipping West Point" IL tho
ambition Of this Indiana eleven ev-
cry year. They plan the fall cam
paign with the big battle upper
most in their minds Just the
thought Of humbling the army men
is the stuff that makes EN- smile.
So they've practiced for hours
every: day on the old charging ma
chine. They've ripped the sawdust
out of the tackling dummy with
zest and they've battered the hard:
boiled freshmen into q bruised
mass.
Cashier. the new kicking phe-
nom, stands on the 50-yard line and
! boots the ball Across the bar with
point-telling regularity. The whole
squad wears a determined look.
It's West Pointers they're cunning
for. That's why workouts at Notre
Dame are never lessened.
+ Coach Rockne's men slipped
quietly down to Lincoln, Neb., Oct.
Is. and, when the battle Wis over,
the University Of Nebraska had
been flayed 1877. That Was some
thing to be proud o.
Oct. %, Rockne's crew wAlloped
Valparaiso. 1873. That also meant
something to Notre Dame, for on
Oct. 3 the Valparaiso team Journey
ed to Cambridge. Mass, and for the
first half of the game they held
| Harvard to q stapdstill. They COL
I lapsed during the last half and
Horween and his Crimson team
registered 81 points. So the deci-
sive defeat Of Valparaiso by Notre
Dame would indicate that they'd
, even give Harvard q battle this
| year.
| Rockne Is a little different from
other coaches. He likes light men
for his line. His forward wall
; players are taught what he calls
the %coil spring." and this bit OF
strategy produces the same result
Of heavy poundage. So when Notre
Dame begin1 its forward march or
West Point tomorrow, the football
world will eagerly await the yer.
dict: for. according to the dope
1t will be one OF the big games Of
the year. And a Notre Dame vic
tory wouldn't be surprising.
! Captain Coughlin Of Notre Dame
visited In Rock Island recently and
Witnessed the Independent Staley
game. He was the guest OF his sis

pressed his admiration for the In.
