NORTE DAME
GREAT TEAM
Eastern Critics Think it is
One of the Greatest
Grid Machines
an RILLY EVANs

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-"Nore
Dame has one Of the greatest foot
ball teams I have seen in years.
Ut is a much better team than
Yale, Harvard or Princeton. ]
would like nothing better than to
have 100000 parlayed on Notre
Dame in a series In which the
western team would meet Yale,
Harvard and Princeton.
That is the way Tacks Hard
wick, former Harvard star, sizes
up the Notre Dame team, which
has taken the east by storm.
During the intermIssIon between
the Yale-Pnncetop game, Hard
wick dropped in the press box TO
say hello. I was sitting in the
midst Of a group Of New York
sporting writer's, all football ex.
perts. Every one Of them said
amen" to Hardwick's opinion.
None Of the experts in the east
can offer an explanation for the
Harvard-Peun State game. They
all admit that Penn Is much super
Tor to Harvard, yet the Crimson
scored three touchdowns against
State. Harvard was not even at
the top Of It's game at the time.
as the eleven was being groomed
for Princeton. 1t can only be ex'
planned by saying that Harvard
was fortunate enough to catch
Penn State in a slump as Tar as
its defense was concerned. 1t is
really remarkable the way Penn
state has held Its condition, when
one considers that on successive
Saturdays Bezdek's eleven has
met five such strong teams as LIE
high, Harvard, Georgia Tech, Car
negie Tech and the Navy.
Eastern critics are agreed that
Penn State is the best team IN
the east. Most Of them are Of the
opinion that Notre Dame has a
slight edge on Penn. However,
all are CORY the two teams are
not going to meet. 1t has been
suggested that Notre Dame and
Penn State play a post-season
game at the Polo grounds. The
chances for such a game, how
ever, seem rather slight.
The defeat Of Princeton by Yale
came as a great surprise. The Yale
team was known to have great
possibilities, but It was believed
that the Princeton veterans would
have the edge. In the Princeton
lineup were eve sophomores.
Most o. the experts figured the ex-
perience Of the Princeton team
would be the determining factor
IN the result. Yale has a great

Hard Work For
Bethany Eleven

BETHANY, w. Va, Nov. IL
The Bethany football squad is go
ing through an extra hard practice
this week in order to overcome the
lack Of time to practice next week
before going to Washington, D. c..
for the Turkey Day game. The fact
that the team will practice only
twice on the college field after the
Wesleyan game before 1ourueying
East to meet Georgetown, means
that the extra work must be done
this week. AS a result Coaches Blu

The men who will make the trip

dce this afternoon.
The fact that Spears is not the
sort Of coach who carries a large
souad 1ust to make a good showing
Indicates. as stated before, that the
Varsity mentor intends to make
plenty OF substitutlons. He has ex'
perimented 30 much this week with
lis Varsity lineup that It Is abBo'
Iutely impossible to name the men
who will start the game. So far
Spears has not said anything con
corning the Rutgers game except TO
warn hts men that they can expect

men that he intends to carry more

coaches still inaIst that the men
play hard. Playing hard, however,
does not mean that the player must

Players seldom get away With
smuggling, when competent officials
are In charge OF the game. Twice
this year two OF the big elevens in
the east have suffered because OF
rough play.
In the game between Penn and
Syarthmore, which ended in al to
n tie, Penn suffered severely be
cause one OF its players was eject
ed from the game for Slugging. The
penalty netted Swarthmore about
20 yards, because the ball was well
in Penn's territory at the time.
Coach Heisman Of Penn was SO

The wonderful showing OF Glenn
Klllinger, star quarterback Of the
Penn State team, Is a glowing trib.
ute to the coaching ability of Hugo
Bezdek. Ktllinger, unlike most Of
the gridiron stars, did not learn tho
rudlments OF the game at prep
school. During his school days he
played baseball and basketball, and
starred in each sport, but football
had no appeal. In his freshman
year at Penn he didn't even come
out for the yearling team, and no
one even urged him as no football
reputation preceded him. Some one
finally prevailed on him to como
out, when material was low at State.
Bezdek saw great possibilities and
today Killinger is the sensation OF
the east.
