Tom III. Marks in 1907 after the

exhibit Of their corn grown under
demonstration methods. The next
fall newspapers were full OF praises
for a group Of Jack county farm boys
who had made unusual corr yields in

was organized the first boys corn
club under county agent supervision
in Texas. MIR. Marks at the time was

being located new at Hollis, Okla.
The success Of his boys corn club
led to the organizing Of coSn clubs

BY DICK MILLER

Historians declare history repeats
itself. Football data preservers re-
called today when Knute Rockne
ard Gus DoriaS were stars at Notre
Dame. The remembered how the
Irish went east to meet the Army
one year and on that fall afternoon
set the east agog by demonstrating
how effectively the open offenSe
could be used in football. The Army
team watched forward passes,
Dorias to Rockne, sail through the
air until they were dizzy. The
Soldiers took a sound trimming by
a twenty-point margin
Last Saturday another Notre
Dame team went east. Again the
Cadets found themselves the victim
of the overhead game of the Irish.
A forty -five-yard heave, Niemic to
John O'Brien, substitute end,
turned the trick. Before the game
the Army was the dope favorite to
win by two touchdowns. But Notre
Dame performed like magic to
smear the national championship
hopes Of the Army team.
No doubt Knute Rockne pointed
his team for the Army clash and
wanted to win the game more than
any other. He surprised the Cadets
eagle, the All-America prospect
of the Army, was the big threat of
the afternoon. He crashed the Irish
line for many yards and hurled the
ball to Messenger for long gains.
Murrell plunged over for a touch
down in the third quarter after
eagle had carried the ball to the
LIZARD line. Notre Dame crossed
up the Army defense and crashed
