Who Leads Notrc Dame 6riddcrs Against Princeton Tigers Today
CRAZE FOR FOOTBALL
 SWEEPS OVER GERMANY
Industries Formerly Used For Mu. milton Making, Now Manufacturing
 Sporting Goods in Large Quantities.

Heidelberg. Germany, Oct. 2o.--- | Many buildings in Germany which prior to 1914 were used for making implements Of war ammunition or de-
 voted to turning out supplies for the army. arc now manufacturing sporting
 articles for the various games which are more popular today than at any other time in Germany's history. The craze for outdoor sports has reached proportions never dreamed of in pre- war days.
 Football, formerly considered by Germans as being too rough. has be- come one of the most popular games among school boys and college men. Every small town now has its ath- letic union, including football team, and meets are held regularly all sum- mer and most of the winter. The passion for out door sports has even invaded the country districts. and the youngsters of the peasant village much pwfer hand ball or foot racing to helping their parents in the fields
 The sport rage is attributed to the campaign launched in 1919 for the amusement of the thousands of young men who in former times spent years in Germany's big army. Today the newspapers devote pages and sections exclusively for sports, and there are many sporting journals in Berlin and other big cities. Tennis is played extensively, but football has made such rapid strides that even ex- perts cannot account for its growing popularity, and the factories are working overtime cndeavoring to SUD- ply the unprecedented demand for 'pigskins."

three-yard line and lost only to Neb- raska--a team which outweighed the Fighting Irish 25 pounds to the man.
 This season Rockne's Bar None'' outfit tackles Army, Princeton, Geor- gia Tech, Purdue. Nebraska, Butler and Carnegie Tech on consecutive Saturdays. Army and Princeton were the leading elevens of the east last year. Georgia Tech is the class of the south and Nebraska of the Mis- souri Valley.
 The question is often asked: How does he do it?"
 Much has been written of the Notre Dame system, the Notre Dame shift and other aspects. But this picture shows the real reason for Rockne's success It reveals Rockne in action with his dynamic, indomitable per sonality suggested. Other coaches have systems and know the game; but in ability to transmit his know ledge and infuse his spirit, Rockne is the Aladdin of the Gridiron.

 During the period he produced Gipp, Brandy. Castner, Mohardt, Riley, Shaw, the Degrees. Bergmans and Andersons and other big stars. Gipp is one of the game's immortals. In 1921 10 of his II regulars won berths on various All-American teams.
 In 1922, after suspensions had wrecked a good eleven, he took squad of sophmores and welded an eleven which beat Georgia Tech. missed victory over the undefeated Army eleven by a tumble on the

Hands Another Jolt to Dopesters by His Wonderful Exhibitions In swim- ming-Replaces weissmuller.


 niing-Replaces weissmuller.
 Chicago. Oct 2o.-Not the least surprising development of the outdoor swimming pool season now al a close was the consistently fne showing Of Harold Kruger of the Illinois 4. C.
 Relegated to the has-been class by the experts. Kruger proved the great est individual point maker in ths an- nual classics and led the whole swim ming field.
 Kruger had accomplished nothing of importance in several seasons and his brilliant return to form deserves chronicle as one Of the most note worthy come backs in the history of sport.
 Kruger won the 150-yard back stroke fixture and the championship pentathlon. which includes contests in all styles of swimming: he helped to win the sso-yard relay in record breaking time. and was close runner up in three other nationals In all he garnered 21 1-2 championship points against 12 l-2 by his nearest competitors.
 Kruger replaces Johnny Weissmul- Ter as the king-pin point maker. Weissmuller was forced out of com petition by weak heart and took part in only two nationals.

Committee work undertaken by
the Civic and Commerce association
is handled by special committees
whenever possible. This is done
because experience has demonstrat- =
ed that better results are generally
obtained by the appointment OF
committees to handle work when
there is something specific to be
done, rather than appoint standing
committees who usually stand" for
the lack OF definite program. How
ever. some standing committees are
necessary. All standing and special
committee appointments automatic
ally expire at the annual election OF
officers. President Charles X. May
or, who has been slightly indisposed
as a result OF a minor operation,
will appoint the new committees as
loon as possible.
While the Civic and Commerce
association up to the present time
draws no line In extending service
to the public. 1t is rather CALLING at
INES to see persons who have de-
ton on the grounds that 'it has &C
complished nothing" feel perfectly
Tree to make use of the facilities
that the association has to offer. A
certain party who said he would
keep his $25," when called upon
recently by member who solicited
his application for membership in
the association, stepped in at the
office a few days ago and became
quite indignant when he learned
that supply OF certain road map
which he wanted for free distribu
tion at his place Of business was
low and therefore could not be had at
the time. IT'S hardly fair, is It?
Surely the association is worthy Of
support, financially as we'll as NOR
ally, by those who derive direct ben
eft from it.
