ROCKERS TO FIND
DEPAUW REALLY A
TEAM OF MYSTERY
Walkers Aggregation Plan.
ming on Using Short For
ward Pass Today.

DePauw IS carrying out her ad
vance notices. For weeks sport
writer's have been clubbing its foot
ball squad the mysterious eleven
and the appearance OF the men as
they trotted out on Cartier field yes
terday afternoon certainly justified
the aIpellation. Their garb could
be Ikened 20 nothing except. per
haps the traditional costumes OF the
Ku Klux Khan Every man wore
. the whitest o. leather helmets. and
20 heighten the mysterious atmos-
phere, a ghost ball was used in
practising.
But there is no denying the fact
that DePauw has likely lrokins
squad. The men do not carry the
weight OF the Notre Dame team. bat
they are lanky and do not lack
speed. The theory that DePauw
would probably use a forward pass
extensively was dCubly confirmed
yesterday by the appearance OF the
men. and by an authoritative report
that the Cold and Black beet play
was a short running pass. DePauw
may find. however. that the presence
OF eleven Rocker veterans may be
serious obstacle 20 tin suCct sSful
completion OF a forward lass. Rock
ne has been working hard all week
perfecting defense against inst
such m attack. and f. is vefy i'm
proba bic that Notre Dame VIII be
caught off her guard
Rockers Improved.
The condition Of the Rockers has
iproved greatly since the Kalamazoo
game Ha~d sCrimmages during the
early par- OF the week put the men
in fine fcttle. md the light workouts
OF the rast two days have served as
a tapering off process. Yesterday
afternoon. Rockne ran the squad
through a few kicking drills and
then ordered them into the gymnas-
ium before DePauw appeared.
The Irish lineup will undoubtedly
correspond 10 the one announced
yesterday morning i'm this paIer
. Paul Cashiers leg did not improve
much over night. and it is still un-
likely that he can be used. Boz
Phelan's eye however. is mending
nicely. and the husky fullback may
be called into the game before the
final whistle ia blown.
First String Starts.
Although the Notre Dame first
string will start the game. Coach
Rockne will probably use three or
four squads during the contest
These reserves consist of men al
most as heavy. powerful and eNper-
fenced as the varsity. And right
there rests a great difficulty for De
Pauw. For while DePauw must re-
IL on a first quality string of about
d6 men. Notre Dame viii be able 70
throw a fresh string OF fast, capable
men into the game at every quarter
Rendering the advantage in
weight and experience which the
Rockers possess over the mystery
men. and then the superb showing
OF the Catholics in the game last
Saturday against Kazoo. little doubt
remains IN the minds Of y. ID. root
ers as TO the probable victor i'm the
fracas this afternoon. DePauw may
have an excellent team. but IL is un-
likely that any football squad which
has been built mp practically within
month can stand UP against the
rover OF a line composed OF the two
Andersons. Kiley. Shaw, Garvey. De
gree. Dooley. Finn Noss. Murphy.
NTehre and Larson. and the vigor Of
a backfeld containing a. different
times these rnen-Wvnne. CouEhlin.
Mohardt. Walsh. Thomas. Licb, Phe-
. Ian and Desch.
No Demonstration.
There will be no official demon
stration after the game tonight.
whatever the outcome, according 20
an announcement made ut "a pep

at noon. ANY demonstration which
may occur viii be due TO the iuitia-
tive OF individual students. The rea-
