Before a cord-shattering crowd
unofficially estimated at $4,000, sur

field or any other has ever handled for
foot ball, the green -jerSeyed warriors OF
Knute Rockne seized break" late in
the third quarter and scored the only
touchdown of the game early in the
final period on a forward pass.

the big charge. They slanted of tackle
to the l3-yard mark in a succession of
short thrusts. then changed goals as
the gun barked to end the quarter.
ROckne Employs Strategy.
The short interval gave an opprtu-

but gallant defense for the first three
quarters OF the game, aroused itself to

scored. For the rest of the game the
Middies launched three successive drives
into Notre Dame territory, penetrating
