Every loyal supporter or the

glory in the beams that would surely
come from an announcements stating
that Notre Dame was 20 meet the
most powerful college football team
on the gridiron. They would wa ger
there all that the students OF Knute
K. Rockne would return victorious
The suggestion OF a contest with any
strong aggregation even now brings
out the wild clamor play Them,
Beat Them. Conquer"
While Il is all very well to boost
the merits of Notre Dame team as
high as possible. and while every
one would exalt in another wonder
ful victory. still a fan with the in
tsrest OF that great and magnificent
eleven at heart can easily see the
futility in allowing professional gam
blers, and amateur sport wreckers
to promote any such contest
Knute X. Rockne, the only logical
An-Amerlcan coach in the United
States today has formed every sched-
ule in which the Notre Dame team
has built up such a famous record.
He has certainly proved that lie is
highly capable of arranging any en-
ga gements for his team.
Broken down fight promoters, and
stark PROFESSIONALISM have no place
in the world of amateur sports.
The World Series games, a decided
~ and absolute professional venture

day to see the Bulldog machine tear

The words of Father Carey, head
OF the Notre Dame athletic board
are indeed commendable. "Notre

match in which professional pro-
motors are interested. When Notrt
