The Rockne telephone was disconnected last night and no word was forthcoming from the resi- dence as to his condition.
 Rockne has suffered for several weeks from an infection in his right leg, but has stuck to his coaching task, directing his teams practice by radio amplifying set from his enclosed car. Last week he watched the Carnegie game from his wheel chair on the sidelines.
