 New York, Dec. lG, -- When the -four horscmen of Notre Dame' ride into the golden west for a post sea- son game with the Stanford Cardin. Rls at Pasadena, Cal, New Years day. it will be q clash of two schools having similar basic principles of coaching.
 knute Rockne. the Notre Dame mentor, is a product of the modern school of gridiron teachings, while his veteran opponent in this clash Is Glenn Pop" Warner, one of the pioneers of football coaching. Both are aggressive teachers, both are versatile creators of trick players, yet both are disciples of the ortho- dox off-tackle play.
 Notre Dame's team this year Is re- garded, from coast to coast, as on ) of the greatest pieces of gndiron architecture ever assembled. It bowled over a field of opponents which representative of every, sec- tion of the country except the fai west and the game New Years day provides means of comparison be- tween the football as played on the Atlantic seaboard and the game as developed on the Pacific coast.
 Notre Dame has defeated such teams as Army, Princeton, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Wis consin, Carnegie Tech, Lombard and Wabash,
 The Hoosiers are exceptionally well-balanced. Light, but extremely fast, they are equipped with a rare assortment of plays, passes and kicks executed by men all adept in their respective positions.
 The eleven was hard pressed In only two games this year-against Northwestern and against the Army Aboth of which were beaten by only one touchdown.
 Rockne has started his second team in practically every game this year and then shifted to his first string backheld, Stuldreher, Miller, Layden and Crowley. This combina- ton, irresistible through its great running and passing attack, has swept through all opposition it has been called upon to face and has not been held to less than two touch downs. On the coast, where condi- tion is 8 big factor, this alternate arrangement amy prove of marked aid to Rockne.
 Stanford, with the greatest foot ball eleven in its history, has come through with only a 20-20 tie with California to mar it's season. The Stanford team is strong and we'll rounded, but has lacked throughout the season an ability to solve pass ing attack. Warner, in charge of the Stanford team for the first year, fully realized this lack of a passing defense when Idaho passed Stanford off its feet and only lost the game when 1t fumbled on Stanfords one foot line, the Cardinals recovering.
 To offset this weakness, Warner built up the best defense possible and then perfected a passing game 10 rival that of his opponents, rely ing on the ancient theory that a good attack js the best dafense. The fruit of this attack was brought out In the California game.
 With the score 20 10 ( against them and but eight minutes to play, the Cardinals launched an air drive that was halted only by the final whistle after they had scored two touchdowns and knotted the game.
 If Stanford throws the fury of it's air attacksat Notre Dame # will be interesting 10 watch. as no team which the Hoosiors have met this season has unlcashed an air game of the type resorted to hy the Cardinals in the closing moments of the Cali fornia game.
 The forward passing of Murray Cuddeback, Stanfords great back. was responsible for Stanrora's lie with California. Tn "Hey" Meyers and Solomon, Warner has two other star backs while in Jim Lawson he has one of the best ends in the game.
