ed and with only a tie with Stanford
to tarniSh its brilliant record this sea-
son. will engage Notre Dame on Sol
dier field tomorrow, in the first east
ern invasion of California team.
The battle will be witnessed by an
other throng of 1900 spectators, thus
equalling the football attendance
record for all time set when the army
played the navy on the same field a
year ago. The demand for tickets
has been just as great as for the
spectacular service clash, and If Sol
dier field could accommodate quar-
ter million persons, all of them would
be trying to squeeze into the stadium.
Weather indications tonight point to
mild afternoon with temperature

suit, the gridirOn will be fast and dry,

been well protected for week with a
coating of hay

They are pioneering among California
elevens, in coming into midwestern
territory to play a game and the re-
suit of this sort of interSectional play
will be watched with interest by foot
ball followers throughout the land.

confined altogether to engagements IN
which the burden of lengthy travel and
climatic changes have fallen on Cali
fornia'S opponents.
Tomorrow Southern California re-
verses that procedure to play the re-
turn engagement of the home series
with Notre Dame. Twice in recent
years the Notre Dame teams have
have long jaunts to the coast and
twice they have returned victorious.
A year ago Coach Knute Rockne's war
riors snatched "a IS to IL victory from
Southern California alter terrific
battle
These Trojans; possessing power and
more power, will attempt tomorrow to
wipe out that one point victory scored
over them last fall. With Morley
Drury, their contribution to all-Amer-
ican fame, acting as the spearhead OF
their attack, they believe they can add
another victory to their seasons string,
defeating Notre Dame, after the FASH
ion that the army ran over Rockne's
RamblerS.
Notre Dame, while grfrlly confident
refused to make any advance claims
to victory. All Rockne would say was:
''Tornorrow'S game certainly is not
going to be a peanut rolling contest"
The Southern California eleven,
splendidly coached by Howard Jones,
is represented as being football team
whose strength is predicated on pow
er. its attack masked efficiently to
bother even these football geniuses
wearing the colors of Notre Dame,
serves obviously going to Notre Dame
Rockne, if he follows his usual Gus
tom, will start his shock troops, a
combination of rough and ready
youngsters, who are sent in with q
view Of taking the edge off the opposl-
ton, if possible.
The Californians today stretched
their legs with a short workout this
afternoon, with the Notre Dame squad
coming in tonight after taking final
workouts at South Bend.
More than 1000 followers of the
Southern California team trailed the
team here from Los Angeles.
Coach Jones said he intended tc
start the same team that has beaten
everything in sight on the Pacific
coast, except Stanford.
Rockne alone knows the combination
which will take the field at the kick
off for Notre Dame.
