foot ball authorities here have start
ed negotiations to bring the Army
Notre Dame foot ball game of Octo-

parks will be busy with base ball.
Col. II. B. Hackett, West Point

leading foot ball referees of the
country, has announced his interest
in the proposal. although the trip
west would be an innovation in Army
foot ball plans
II is understood Coach knute
Rockne of Notre Dame is eager to
have the game played in the west,
and that Chicago would be an agree
able location to him.
The University of Chicago has an
open date, and as Northwestern plays
at Indiana University that day there

has been frequently used for Army
