cultural school yesterday afternoon .
y a score OF $50. Perfect forward .
passing and running formations bril-
uantly executed enabled the specta- .

City refuses 20 dispute NOtre Danes
hegemony in the manly art OF foot /
ball Anything like the speed and .
dash with which the Irish galloped
through their roles has seldom been .
witnessed by the average football .
fan To such the game was treat 4
nothing less.
The task which the Aggies had UNI Z
dertaken was far too difficult for
them. Possessing a light, but withal
a speedy team, and directed by .
whale or a quarterback, Johnson. +
they might have battled the Ordin- 4
airy college squad of the field. But .
Notre Dame is not an ordinary col 3
lege team. and yesterday moreover, /.
Notre Dame was at its best. The I
Aggies lost, in consequence, but they 7

fight. and playing better football as /
the game progressed. The final I
whistle found them resorting TO the I
forward pass in an amazingly effect I
i've manner and If It had not been I
for a high pass from the center, /
johnson might have kicked a field |
goal. and earned the idolatry of his /
college thereby.
Say IL With Flowers.
From the players point OF view. 4
the game was played under almost =
perfect weather conditions. A cold I
wind made slow moving uncomfOrt- /
able. but was not too strong 20 pre-
vent effective kicking. The gridiron .
was a trihe slow, owing TO the re- .
cent rains. and many a pretty run .
was spoiled by the slippery turf. .
A good sized crowd assembled to
watch the game including a delega- 3
tior from ST. Mary's. Between halves F.
a Grassy military band from the Lam
sing school provided entertainment, |
and Knute RCckne was presented /
with a monstrous bouquet of chrys- |
anthemums from Charles Gates Of /
South Bend.
The J. ockmen scored four minutes |
after the game had begun when !
Jumbo" Mehre grabbed an Aggie |
pass and scooted across the goal
line. Previously. Notre Dame had
kicked of 10 the Farmers who were /
unable 20 gain from the scrimmage
line, and punted. Grant fumbled. |
and Matson fell upon the ball. The !
Aggies attempted TO pass. but Mehre /
fooled them. and made the first |
score for y. D. Cashier and Walsh i
IN, & d hnT
the field for the second score. Walsh /
playing left halfback. was plungins /
for five yards or more on every at I
tempt. Cashier broke loose once /
and ran so yards before slipping. |
Paul was playing All-American foot |
ball from the start, and his per- I
formance makes the gold and blue |
prospects for next fall look much I
brighter. Although he played not |
more than half the game. he made !
20 yards or better on three occas- |
sons, and once after receiving the |
hckof. ran the ball back more than
60 yards.
Coughlin Tears En- on.
Notre Dame opened up with for
ward passes in the second quarter.
when Cashier passed 10 KHey for
10 yards Immediately afterward

touchdown himself. Near the end
or the half a long pass 10 Kiley
placed the Irish deep in Aggie ter
ritory but Johnson intercepted a

A long forward pass was completed,
Pheland ran % yards and Johnny
MOhardt ran is more 20 the goal
line Notre Danes second string
was sent on the field in the final
quarters and promptly proceeded TO
tear the wearied Farmers to pieces. l
Gus Desch ran the ends at a record
clip and finally crossed the goal for
the last touchdown OF the game.
Every one OF the rs NOtre Dame
players who graduate in the sprins
took part in the game and played
superb football Walsh and Phelan
played the game OF their lives.
Walsh's consistent plunging and
Phelan's Ions runs surprised the en-
tire crowd. Johnny Mohardt, as
usual. was a whole backield in him
self. making runs OF so yards
apiece. Eddie Anderson and Roger
Kiley were bobbing up everywhere
10 catch Johnny's passes. Hunk An
derson. shaw and Dooley opened big
holes IN the Aggie line. and Harry
Mehre's defensive work was beauti-
ful. Glenn Carberry played a smash
ing defensive game: Chef Grant ran
the team we'll; Danny Coughnn
dashed of a run OF so yards. and
Chet Wynnes pep was everywhere I
in evidence. The lineup:
