The records prove that Enute Eockne Of Notre Dame comes closest 70 what might be termed the perfect football coach.
 In these days Of high-pressure football, coaches are being con- stantly shifte7, but Rockna for 10 years has held sway al Notre Dame.
 During that period, his teams have taken part in almost 100 games, 9i to be exact, and have hung up a marvellous record that is the envy Of every football mentor.
 Of the 94 games played, S4 have resulted in victories, two have ended rcNcrsos His average over a period Of 10 years is the almost unbelicy- able mark Of .S04.
 Tn three Of the years Of his regime, the Rockne elevens have escaped defeat: in six of the campaigns only one black mark has been hung up, while in only one season. 1925, has Notre a Dame team suffered more than one defeat, two being it's DOT ton that season.
 Eockno is q product Of Notrc Dame. He was captain of the 1913 eleven. In his first year as coach, 1916, he developed George Gipp, pronounced by Rockne as the great ex player he ever saw in action.
 Perhaps Rockne's greatest achievement was hie 1924 eleven, which won the national champion ship and gave to the football world one of the greatest backfields of all time, the -Four Horsemen,' Crow icy, Iayden, Miller and Stuhldrcher.
