However, when Georgia Tech put

to oppose ROcknc'S team, the south
crners had practically given up all
hope OF winning.

too strong.
II was deemed better 20 try out
the reserves and save the regulars
for several big games, still to b.

Defeating them meant more to
Techs prestige in the south than a
victory over Rockne's pupils.
The funny part Of it was that
Notrc Dame wasn't going so good

it was the desire of Congress that
this should be done.
"In carrying out this purpose,
the Commissioners felt that the in
terests of good police administra-
ton required a change In the head
of the police traffic bureau.
There are good reasons why
this change should have been
made, and the Commissioners feel
that the action taken by them in
making the change was in the pub
lie interest and that it would have
been detrimental to public interest
to have trial proceeding in the
matter.
THE Commissioners hope that
you will appreciate their position
in the matter"
The letter was signed by Daniel
