track and basketball men. wynne and Shaw were sure first place men In tho hurdles and weights, respeo- lively.
 Confession by the men produced a sensation on the campus and left Mir. Rockne in, what another university official described, as "heart-broken condition"
 Anderson Confesses First
 Eight men early today went before Father William Carey, chairman of the athletic board, and told him the story of the affair. Several of them then went to Mir. Rockne to tell him. Eddie Anderson, all-American end, was the first to reach the coach.
 "Rocke, he said to the coach, i've come to tell you that it's true that I played in that Taylorville game"
 For several seconds MT. Rockne sat staring at the athlete, dumbfounded. "You-you're kidding, Eddie" replied the coach.
 NO, it's true" said Anderson. "rm sorry-no. one knows how sorry, but it's true, Rockne, and I wanted to, tell you myself"
 For fully 10 minutes Mir. Rockne paced up and down nis office.
 Eddie. I can't believe it," he ex- claimed. T might have believed that some fellows did that, but not a man like you. Didn't you stop to think. boy. how this would affect your school, how 1t would hit me as we'll as yourself? Didn't you stop to think how you'll feel when the students here learn of this? Why, why did you do it?''
 "We know now, Rocke, but we never thought of 1t then. know now that you are the one who suffers. Don't take 1t so hard, please, Rockne. because we didn't mean to hurt you and we should have known how you would feel"
 Anderson, a typical. clean cut. young college chap in appearance. re- mained silent for some time while Coach Rockne sat with his head in one hand. Then the athlete said:
 Used Straight Football
 Say, Rockne, just want to tell you one thing: That Illinois gang couldn't have beat us in 1000 years if I hadn't had to shift to quarterback instead of playing my regular job on end. And those reports that they circled my end are all bunk, of course, because didn't play end. I'm just telling you this because. you taught me how to play football and you never
 
 end. And another thing, Rockne, we didn't use any secret Notre Dame plays. We didn't use that shift at all-just straight football"
 As Anderson walked out Mir. Rockne said to the Associated Press. corre- spondent: "No one but the boys them selves could have convinced me that Eddie Anderson, Chet Wynne, Buck Shaw and such men could do this thing. They were like sons to me. I knew they could not have done 1t and yet they did. It is not the loss of athletic ability that hurts. It hits me right down in the heart"
 Teams Arc Wrecked
 After 8 moment he continued: "Yes. our teams are wrecked. but they are not beaten. We are never beaten down here until the game is over We'll take our lickings if they beat us next year, but we'll fight to the finish"
 For some time tho coach busted himself checking up on substitutes and freshmen who were eligible for the school teams next year. He called two or three track men and ordered them out in the snow to practice hurdling in the hope of finding some one to replace Wynne in that event. Weight men were instructed to prac- tice overtime. "We'll show everyone that we don't quit anyhow" he remarked.
