THEY'LL FIGHT
AS THEY NEVER
FOUGHT BEFORE
NOtre Dame and Indiana Set
for Bitter Struggle at
Washington Park.
CRIMSON LINE STRONG

1t is not necessary for the Indianapolis
football fan to put on his "cbeaters" or
borrow the eye Of a so-called critic to
see that he is IL line for one OF the
biggest gridiron bargains of the season
when Notre Dame and Indiana clash at
Washington park Saturday afternoon In
a contest that will in all probability de-
eide the championship OF the State
Indiana and Notre Dame have met nine
times in their gridiron history and when
they step out on the chalk-marked field
Saturday afternoon the count will be
even, each team having won four Of these
games and the odd ore having gone to
a tie
The outsider, the fan who simply reads
the sport pages for the scores then takes
a shot on figuring the winner over the
comparative score route, or by past deeds,
picks Notre Dame to win. But such is
not the case with the coaches and mem
bers Of Hoosierdom's two great teams.
WHY CRIMSON
HAS GOOD CHANCE.
Although Notre Dame has been picked
by eastern critics who saw it beat the
Army, as one of the best teams in the
country the members of the two camps
are considering this coming contest as
belonging to anybody until the final
whistle sounds.
Coach Stehm has one of the best teams
in the history of Indiana University
football competition this year and he
feels as though he has a great chance
to stop the athletes under Coach Rockne's
wing. The Notre Dame offensive ma
chine, with the famous George Gipp as
its main cog, is probably a bit more
powerful than anything ever seen at
the Indiana defense viii block many OF
the Irish advances.
However. Coach Rockne's athletes

struggle with West Point recently and
IL they can perform in a like manner
Saturday they should win.
in which several of Notre Danes stars
will have the opportunity to compete
against their rivals and the world knows
that they viii battle hard.
TRIO EXPECTED
TO SHINE.
Gipp, Brandy and Coughiin viii be
the fray. 1t win be their last chance
against Indiana, and they will make 1t
good. Rockne will have no injuries to
worry about when he sends his men on
the field Saturday, and there will De
! nothing to keep them from playing the
1 brand Of football that has made them
/ famous In every corner of the country,
| If they are given the right sort OF COM
petition.
This competition thing is something
1 they are not going to have to worry
about The Crimson warriors of Indi-
ana are also set for the fray and they
are just as determined as the upstate
/ eleven. The powerful Indiana line will
/ be hitting its best stride Saturday and
! the Irish forward wall men will have
their hands full trying to keep their OPP
ponents out of the way of the man car
rying the ball. Indiana's second line
of defense probably is better qualified
to check the Notre Dame aerial attack
than any other the Irish have met this
season. Coach Stiehm has studied
Rockne's style of passing for the last
few years and this time he thinks he
has solved it, and that he has his ath-
letes ready to do their part.
INDIANA HAS
AERIAL ATTACK.
Notre Dame is not the only Hoosier
eleven with a clever aerial attack. lndf-
ana has a neat passing machine itself
and the Irish had better be careful lest
they find themselves switched from the
roll of bewiIderers to those bewildered.
Cow" Aiinton is the George Gipp Of the
Indiana team In many respects.
Notre Dame may have a slight edge
in line plunges and end skigters in Gipp,
Mchardt, Brandy, Barry and Wynne, but,
as has been said before, Indiana's great
forward wall Will be ready and qualified
to check everything that comes its way
Saturday afternoon.
The demand for seats for the game has
arrangements is preparing TO place rows
of seats along the side lines. These
seats will go on sale at the Claypool
drug store tomorrow morning, selling for
So
football battle in Indianapolis Is ex-
pected to turn out for the Saturday
event.
