COACH R0CKNE'S RISE
DUE TO GREAT PLUCK

BY the Associated Press
When knute X. Rockne entered
the University of Notre Dame Is
years ago as a poor working student,
dolns all kinds of odd jobs to pay
for his tuition and board, he little
dreamed that he would step into a
position that was TO pay him 500. 900
In 10 years as coach of that famous
eleven. Rockne is to do just that,
when his new contract becomes
effective in 1925.
From handy" boy. determined to
obtain an education. Rocknes career
is a vivid story of a plucky fight
against odds. The man who today is
acknowledged as one of the foremost
know the principles of foot ball when
he entered Notre Dame in 1909. But
under the direction of Jesse Harper,
the Notre Dame coach, he began to
learn quickly. He did what he was
told He practiced and trained hard.
and within three years was elected
captain of the team that was hailed
throughout the country s one of the
greatest exponents of the forward
pass ever developed.
When RoCkne enrolled at Notre
Dame he was without funds, and no
work was too menial for him to earn
a few dollars. Gradually he became
so proficient in chemistry that during
his last year in school he acted as an
assistant professor. 1t was in this
same year that his name became
famous in foot ball, when Notre Dame
met the Army for the first time and
triumphed, 35 to 13. 1t was Rockne,
on the receiving end of forward
passes hurled by Gus Dorias, that
swept the Cadets off their feet.
After graduation, Coach Harper
asked to retain Rockne as foot ball
assistant. The dean of the chemistry
department made a similar request.
Rockne was wanted in two places
THE officials arranged his work so he
could work both jobs. A year later
Harper retired to his Western ranch
and Rockne stepped into his shoes,
holding the position 8 director or
athletics, head foot ball coach and
track coach ever since
Notre Danes rise to athletic power
under Rockne's direction has been
swift. The foot ball elevens always
are contenders for national honors.
Rockne, a national figure in Ameri-
can athletics, is of the new school
in foot ball. His system has brought
about many innovations. such as the
shift plays. These are designed TO
conceal the point of attack and TO
add force to the thrust. Weight IS
Invariably sacrificed for speed, and
closeup interference has made Notre
