of Port Arthur, Texas, romping mer-

was responsible for two touchdowns
and a 13-to-0 victory for the fighting
Irishmen at GRAFT Field this after
noon. Flanagan ripped off numer-
Gus gains off tackle and around the
ends. with excellent interference from
the Notre Dome backfield.
Tech coaches started a reserve team,
feeding few varsity men into the
lineup in the lass two periods, but
mostly reserving the first team for a
terrific conference schedule which
confronts them during the next few
weeks.
The Tech defense stiffened during
the final two periods but was never
able to muster an offensive that
threatened the Notre Dame goal.
The play of Captain Grove of Notre
Dame, and Goodwin and the giant
Hearn in the Tech line featured the
contest. A soggy field and dripping
clouds slowed up the game and made
the handling of punts and passes ex.
tremely hazardous.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Oct. 81
Prominent among the innovations that

Stadium is the giant clock, without
works, but visible from the farthest
corner Of the stadium, which with its
attendant raucous voiced bell is car

student manager, who also supplies
the motive power.
Practice begins each afternoon at
:25, and when the lad who is as
signed to the role of clockwork sets
the hands at 4 % and clangs the bell,
nearly hundred candidates snap into
the preliminary practice under Wen
dell and his assistants, Pat Pazzetu
Of Lehigh and Charlie Eastman OF
Harvard.
When the clock shows 4 AS the
gong clangs again, and the activity on
the field Immediately changes. a
group of ends who have been running
down with pants now shift to practice
Of receiving passes; linemen who were
falling on the ball take their places

and swift are the changes that one
gets the impression Of military drill,
where the formations change with each
command.
The application Of efficiency meth
DDS 10 football has one advantage, at

valuable practice wasted, and every

Riddled by the accurate gunnery of

The final result was 81 to 0. one of
the most bitter defeats the Middies
have suffered in years in football.
The game was full of sensational
plays. Friedman, much-touted star
of the Yost men. rceled off run after
run, but his brilliant work was shad-
owed by a greater luminary, Molcnda,
Michigan fullback, who was the life of
the party.
Time and again Shapley, greatest

the almost perfect defense of the
Maize and Blue, only to be turned
back baffled.
