STIEHM SAYS HIS
TEAM CAN SKATER
IRISH DEFENSIVE
ITO Get No Walkaway, is
JumbO's Answer to CUES
tions About Game.

Nebraska may have given Notre
Dame tough struggle, but the
Irish need not look for a walkaway
from Indiana" is the reported
statement Of Coach Jumbo
stiehm after being informed Of the
results OF the home coming fray
Jumbo" is out for revenge, and be
l!eves that he has n good chance 10
whip Rockne's team despite the fact
that his Hoos.e-s have been defeated
twice this season. There are good
grounds for his belief.
In the first place, the team is re-
potred 10 be every whit as good as
the team which came closer than
any other 90 whipping the Rockers
Iast sea son. Charlie Mathys. star
quarterback. was lost by graduation
together with several others. but
Stiehm claims that his new men are
as good as the veterans. The de-
feats handed them By Harvard and
Minnesota have taught them great
deal Of football. and the Hoosiers
can be depended upon TO show a
much stronger team at Indianapo-
lis this Saturday than they have yet
displayed In the game against
Minnesota they employed power
fuI backfield shift which tore the
Gopher line 10 shreds for three
quarters OF the game. Minnesota's
lone touchdown was very lucky &C
cording 90 those who witnessed the
game.
Again Stiehm knows more about
Notre Dame football than any other
coach which the Irish will have 10
contend with For years he coach
ed ut Nebraska and was forced 10
study the y. d. method very closely.
II was his Intimate knowledge with
the Rocker style Of play which en-
abled his team 10 hold the north
erners at bay until the last few
minutes Of the game. This year he
has spared no pains 10 discover
what formations Notre Dame -
likely 10 employ. At the Purdue
game. he and his entire team sat
IN the stands to watch the Irish
perform. Siehm did not seem
greatly impressed over the victory

The freshmen are I'm the best OF

FIRST examination indicated, and

Iv. Paul Castner may be out OF
the game for n while, however as
his kicking leg was considerably
bruised.
Rockne Has Troubles.
Rockne will have plenty OF work
20 accomplish this week. His back
field must regain the punch, exhibit

son and which was so obviously
lacking in the Nebraska game. Mo-
harris performance was particularly
disaDpointing. Johnny went like a
whirlwind in both the Iowa and Pur-
due games. but last Saturday was his
OF day.
He could do little against the
husky Cornhusker line. and his pass
