GO WITH INDIANA
NEXT BATTLE FOR
ROCKNE'S ELEVEN
Crimson Team Has Shown
Plenty of Punch in Games
This Season.

With Nebraska's scalp safely tuck
ed in their belts, the Rockers start
on another grind in preparation for
the annual game with Indiana which
will be played at indianapolis next
Saturday. This evening Coach
Rockne will assemble his men on
Cartier field and send them through
a light workout.
Scrimmage will not be engaged in
until the middle of the week as the
Cornhusker tilt bruised the squad
considerably. Serious injuries were
incurred by no one, however. Ed
Degrees leg was not hurt so badly
as it was first reported, and Eddie
says it will soon be in perfect shape.
Roger Kiley's nose is healing nicely.
The game with Indiana should be
the greatest game played between
Hoosier teams this season. Indiana
has always put up a strong fight
against Notre Dame, even in seasons
when her teams were weak The
Notre Dame game means more to
Stiehm's men than any other strug-
gle. and they can be depended upon

Stiehm Great Coach.
Stiehm, who is admittedly one
Of the best of the western coaches,
| is an excellent student Of the Notre
Dame system Of football, having de-
veloped many teams at Nebraska
| which played Metre Dame. Since
his advent as head of the coaching
department at Bloomington. he has
given the Irish two mighty stiff
games.
In 1919 Notre Dame fought hard
TO win by the score OF 1913. and in
1920 the Hoosiers played Rockne's
men of their feet for three quarters
/ of the game and lost only in the last
quarter by three points, Is to 10.
Crimson Has Punch.
There is no reason TO believe that
\ the game Saturday will be less thrill
ing than the games of previous
years Although Indiana has lost
two games already 20 Harvard and
| Minnesota, the team displayed plenty
of punch in both defeats. Minnesota
was really lucky to win her game
/ Saturday by the score Of 60, for In
diana outplayed the gophers during
/ the greatest part Of the game.
! Sdehm was forced TO start the
| season without the services Of nine
I members Of last years varsity His
star quarterback. Mathys, around
whom his entire offense was built
! last year, did not return this fall.
and the coach has been developing
several new men TO take his place.
/ It may be that the two hard games
which Indiana has already played
and lost have served 10 teach the
Hoosiers a great deal Of football.
With the experience gained, they are
I likely 70 show more strength against
the Rockers than they have display
ed at any time this season.
RoclSne Has Troubles.
ROckne will have plenty Of work
. to accomplish this week. His back
/ field must regain the punch, exhibit
ed during the early part OF the sea-
son, and which was so obviously
Z lacking in the Nebraska game Mo-
hart's performance was particularly
/ disappointing. 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
ing was erratic. 70 say the least.
Every athlete experiences of days,
however and IL may be that this lit
lie hslfback viii display all his old
I time upper in the game against In
diana Saturday.
The Indiana game is arousing all
kinds OF interest. Notre Dame has
