coaches, individual players and teams
Coach Jumbo" Stiehm of Indiana has
been faced with the problem Of build
ing UP a team to stop the Notre Dame
football army under Coach knute Rock

country's best and now he and his thou
sands of admirers are anxiously await
ing tOmOrrOw'S results.
THE GREAT GIPP
IN FEATURE ROLE.
Football fans of the East and West
who have seen NOtre Dame perform, can
hardly believe that Indiana will check
the famous George Gipp, who is down
for an All-American half back posi-
ton this year, and his battling team
mates. Gipp and other members OF the
Irish team startled the country by their
wonderful play against the Army a
few weeks ago, and when Notre Dame
meets Indiana tomorrow every ian
within range Of indianapolis Will crowd
into the park to witness the contest.
Indiana is not a team without rep
utariOn and its hackers believe Notre
Dame is going to be held tomorrow.

they will stand out in prominence Oyel

Indiana men are not weaAlings by long
shot, especially Hanny.
