day afternoon on Cartier field by
wad.ng through Kalamazoo College
eleven 20 the tune Of 46 TO 0.
) crowd OF football fans estimated
At more than 5000 gathered for the
fray all anxious and curious TO get
the first line on the new and un
tried eleven that Coach Rockne is
endeavoring 10 develop to carry the
brunt ~ the heavy schedule ahead.
The outstanding spectacular fea-
lures OF the battle yesterday were
two runs from kickons through the
entire Kalamazoo host for touch
downs by Paul Cashier. fullback, one
Of Notre Danes few veterans.
Cashiers first run came Just after
the initial touchdown OF the game.
Capt. Doyle Of the Kazoos kicked Of
to the sold and Blue star on his sew
en- yard line and he raced straight
down the middle of the field behind
excellent interference. About at his
own As yard line he left his inter-
ferers and shaking of several tack
lers and clrcling several more he
finally outdistanced the entire lot
and placed the ball directly between
the uprights. His second dash the
length OF the field came at the start
OF the third period and was an al
most exact duplication Of the first.
He received the leather on his ten
yard lire again carried IL through
the midI lie OF the opposition 80 yards
10 the goal posts
These two brilliant runs were
bright spots in the game that was
featured by a display Of power and
promise on the part OF the Irish
offensive that gives Notre Dame
followers a feeling that the new
eleven of Rockne has possibilities Of
developing into a machine that will
give a GOOD account of itself this
year.
Not-e Dame scored a few minutes
after the initial whistle when
Thomas received a punt and return
cd IL to KALAMAZOO 4O-yard line.
Crowley circIed the right end for %
yards on the next play. Desch and
Castuer then clipped off three yards
each and Crowley crashed over for
the marker. Cashier kicked the
goal.
From that point till the end the
Irish held the upper hand in all de-
partments OF play with the exception
or a few moments in the second
quarter when the opposition COM
pleted four forward passes three Of
them in succession. However,
though the KazoOs showed some
stubborn resistance against the Irish
second squad in this quarter and
Kept possession of the ball good
part Of the time they never threaten
ed the Gold and Blue goal.
While looking their best the Kali
amazoo team was putting out every
DIT of football il was capable OF and
apparently opening up every play 1t
had The Notre Dame aggregation
on the other hand had only uncork-
ed one pass during the afternoon
and that was toward the end OF the
game when Micky' Kane hurled
a twenty-four yard shot 20 COughliu.
Kane furnished the thriller of the
afternoon when he went into the fray
in the fourth quarter and on the
hrst play took the ball of tackle for
fifty yards 10 a touchdown. He
eluded at least Six tacklers by
straight arms and lodging and
brought the stands TO their feet
when he stayed up after apparently
having been downed several times
II was The prettiest bit OF broken
held running OF the game.
The showing of the squad yester-
day afternoon was unquestionably
encouraging TO Gold and Blue fol-
lowers. The men fumble6 very little
considering the earliness of the sea-
son and showed the fght and spirit
for which all former Notre Dame
teams have been famous.
Few mistakes were made, all
the men. regulars. second and third
string alike handling themselves like
veterans. The line showed power
after IL got warmed up in the last
half OF the first quarter and the
visitors could make no Roadway
against 60. Thomas and Stuhldre-
her at quarter handled the team in
great style at every stage OF the 1
