October Is. Nebraska October % and
Indiana October 30. Then comes a
skip to the Army at West Point No
November 8 on the Polo Grounds
with Rutgers. That is what foot.
ball interest in the Notre Dame
schedule leads up to in this city.
Many Eastern football enthusiasts
have seen Notre Dame play in The
past at West Point. The game with
the Indiana boys has been a fixture
on the plateau of the Hudson for a
long term of years and almost with
out exception il has proved to he
the best "educationap game of the
season for the Army.
Notre Dame has come East bus
tling with energy and vim and also
in possession of some littlS methods
of handling the ball that have been
particularly up to date and the Army
has found It worth while to play
with-them for that reason.
There. are three games after the
Election Day contest in New York.
but none of them will have so much
attraction for the New York football
votaries as the games that come be-
fore. The three games to finish the
season for Notre Dame are with the
Haskell Indians. Marquette and the
Michigan Aggies.
Plenty Of Work for Coach.
1t is not an easy task that faces
knute Rockne, the Notre Dame
coach. 1t will be specially difficult
for him to fit for his trip East. For
the first time his eleven will have to
face two teams in this section. They
do not play much alike. The Army
has its game, which Is a mixture Of
Harvard and Graves football, with
some Joe Beacham and other ingre-
dents on the side, while the Rut.
gers game is strictly Foster Sanford
with q basic stratum Of Yale.
Notre Dame has had experience with
the Army squad and knows about what
Kind of fight to expect. but II has
had no experience with Rutgers. OF
course. the harder that Rutgers il able
to play the more difficult it is to be
for Notre Dame. IL the New Bruins
wick college has the material this year
for a high class football eleven that
has been predicted, the Notre Dame
game will give New York quite
treat, but II Rutgers has not recruited
strength the Indiana contingent is apt
to smear the turf with Rutgers colors.
New York would have revelled in
Gipp had he been alive and able to
play football this year. He was one
of the few individual men in the game
who could bring out its sensational
features to the greater advantage, and
even the novice, who knows little or
nothing about football, was bound to
perceive the all conquering side of
(sinn'Q nlnU Mot he
how to get through but he was de.
termined to get through.
Notre Dame does not educate it's
players to the intricacy of offense
which is SO much the rule with teams
In the Western Confepence and in the
Middle West. Coaches in that section
have a hobby of devising an attack
with as many ramifications as there
are strands In a cobweb, thinking to
make the other team brain tagged IL
not leg tagged.
All Move Together. I,
The Notre Dame method of SHINING
along with the ball calls for a sort OF
tandem formation behind the line. with
every ons on the move when the ball
goes into play. Possibly there is no
eleven Of quicker starters--take them
as whole-with more concerted ef.
fort in their start.
IL Is probable that the man who will
b. fitted for Gipp's place is Mohardt
He was captain of the baseball team
last season and is promising football
player. 1t IL not expected that he win
step into Gipp's shoes, but the Gipp
type of football player happens only
in decades for many colleges, and II
Mohardt is four-fifths as good as Gipp
he will be a star. ..
