The Boys Get Going.
The regular lineup did not appear
until four minutes before the end of
the last quarter Although the Ind
ians were never in immediate danger
OF scoring. they kept edg1ng UP the
field and threatening 20 make their
goal on long forward passes most
OF which were grounded. on the
first play after the injection Of the
regulars into the game. Mohardt
waltzed around end for 20 yards.

yard line plunge. Mohardt reeled off
so yards. The bali was well on the
way to another Notre Dame touch
down when the game ended.
The Indians are fast. but do not
possess an extensive football educa-
ton. Under their coach. a former
Centre College star. they have mas
tered the forward pass. and can dis
play some intricate plays. one thing
they proved cOnclusively Saturday at
ternoon was that the oury defense
against the forward pass is the for
ward pass.
RoClnc Absent.
Coach Rockne was I'm Nil

ations Many Of the subs left over
from the 1920 freshman appeared

in a varsity contest Among the
second string men who starred are:
Murphy who appeared at quarter
IN his first game on Cartier field,
NIayls. who showed consistent abili-

placed VOss AZ tackle.

not bright In view OF the showing
made by the subs IN Saturdays
game The battling attack OF the
Indians proved so oveTpOwering that
Halas was obliged 10 send in the
regulars. The only score OF the In
dams was not due 50 much TO their
speed as to the awkwardness OF
some OF the Notre Dame subs.
Haskell was without the services

knocked ont N the game with Mar

part Of the game the Indians were
bewiIdered az the unique formations
OF the Notre Dame aggre cation. As
soon as they struck theGr stride
towards the end OF the first half
the tide changed and it was with
difficulty that the second string held
their ground.
McLemore. the sturdy quarterback
~ the Indians. showed up in all
PLAYS. In forward passes he gen

the thin air with equal agility. In

No other team on the NOtre Dame
schedule used the forward pass 50
steadily and successfully as the Has

IN this department would have been
useless against the regular team.
bur the showing was remarkable

situation OF Rockne. the man who
made the forward pass famous.

field was frozen hard. The stands
