~ HICAGO, September 26.-Now Is
the time for all good support
ers of Notre Dame to join with
~ Knute Rockne in bemoaning
about the scarcity of foot ball
material at South Bend.
1t has been bruited that Notre Danes
current foot ball team will not measure
up to the usual high Rockne standard,
and there may be some truth in the
gossip, If Rockne's analysis of his squad
is any criterion.
Rockne is just little more pessi-
mistic this year than usual, as he
meditates over the loss of all except
two regular linemen from last years
squad, although smile spreads over
his face as he watches host of light
speedy backs tear around the end or
work pretty lateral pass for sub
stantial gain against the freshmen.
Finds Many Faults.
did YOU see that bunch scrimmage
against the freshmen" asked Rockne
Yesterday between intervals of daslling
from one part of the field to another.
"They couldn't tackle; the backs
didn't know what to do with the ball
and that iine-lr was terrible. what
hope one can see in such an outfit as
that, 1 can't imagine" And Rockne
was off to the far end of the field to up
braid some defensive player, VINO was
not playing his position, or to COM
mend back for the manner in which
the play was run.
And since a Rockne built foot ball
team must know the science OF lacking,
the 1876 candidates for this years var
drill. Standing by watching his hope
fuls was the stern, yet smiling master
mind of American foot ball." ready
with a word of praise, as one OF the
green linemen made neat tackle or
condemnation when back failed to hit
low.
'That's fine, Fred" said Rockne, as
Fred Miller, millionaire captain and
tackle, came up from bowling over
runner.
But Rockne fears Loyola, the New
Orleans eleven, and as he has only nVe
DAYS in which to prepare for the lnVa-
sion of the Southerners, tackling was
not all the work done in the two hours
of practice. Over in one corner OF tne
small field two teams were put to WORK
on Loyola plays under the guidance OF
an assistant coach. Four more SQUADS
were sent to the bucXing machines.
while Rockne took personal charge OF
the first four strings in stlft slgnal
rehearsal.
Shows Them How.
ooh that's terrible, terrible" he bel
lowed across the field as the third
eleven failed to complete lateral pass
wake up ana be alive"
Back he went to the first string,
where he had Jim Brady calling signals;
Chevigny and Niemec at halves and
Freddie Whitley" Collins at full.
you run like an old cow" he yelled
as Collins was slow in getting away
under the hair-trigger style OF oi1enSs
used bv Rockne. watch me and I'll
show you," and Rockne took the ball
signals were called and the 4o-year old
coach was of around end like the
olden days. when he made foot ball
history on the Notre Dame gridiron.

Rockne permitted it to be two-man

Yale does not believe in giving its OPP
