feat upon the Catholic warriors be-
fore tackling Pittsburg in what they
imagine as the biggest game Of the
season. Rockne IS sure after sat

different opinion as TO which is
their toughest game.
X. K Rochne sent his regulars
through an erratic half hour OF
scrImmage with the freshmen last
night. II was an interesting bit Of
practice TO watch. At times the
varsity performed brilliantly. but at
other times It's defense gave way be-
fore the attack OF the yeaTlings.
The freshmen were using Nebraska
formations with telling effect.
All week the Rockers have been
working at double speed i'm p-epara-
ton for the Cornhuskers. At the
start OF the season. the Nebraska
game was not expected 10 be especi-
ally difficult. but since a few reports
have begun 70 filter in concerning
the strength Ct the men from across
the Mississippi. viewpoints have
changed at the Rocker camp. AT
present Nebraska is feared. and
NOtre Dame realizes that she may
receive another dose of the medi-
cine handed her at Iowa City two
weeks ago The Rockers must be
in the best OF condition II they ex-
pect TO hold Nebraska, for the
COrnhuskers outweigh them fully
20 pounds to the man. For this
reason the week has been a busy
one at Cartier Field. for Notre Dame

eral times mentioned for an All
American berth. Mum at center
is another big fellow who possesses
plenty OF speed besides. And on
right end Nebraska has Swanson,
another veteran who has been plac-
od on Ali-Star teams.
Having lost 10 Notre Dame for
the last two years. the Cornhuskers
are determined to turn the tables
this season. In a letter 10 the edi-
tor OF the Notre Dame Scholastic,
the Daily Nebraskan says. Ne
braslla fully intends 10 lick the tar

the spirit which typ.ties the whole
school. In an address to the stu

said: BY the law of averag es. Ne
braska is due to whip Notre Dame.
Cerainly there is every reason for
MS 20 expect victory. We have a
