NOTRE DAME
SWEEPING ON
Seem Destined To Unbeaten
Season, Although Rockne
Injured

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18-fP-Notre
Dame, if it continues along the IN
beaten football trails, may have TO
share a fun portion OF the National
championship honors Of 1929 with
at least one other team. Pittsburgh,
but the dramatic laurels Of the sea-
son already belong to the Ramblers
and Rockne.
Football has witnessed few such
Illustrations of magnificent team
spirit as that manifested so far in
the all-c0nquering march Of the
stalwartS Of N0tre Dame while their
guiding genius, Knute Rockne, has
been fighting a battle Of his own
against a badly infected leg.
Rockne has been able 10 direct
personally only three OF the seven
games won thus far. This was the
year that Rock" predicted the boys
would come through, and If they
make 1t a clean sweep a sthey seem
likely 10. II will be one OF the great
est tributes Of all time to football
coaching skill.
SO far Notre Dame in succession
has whipped Indiana, Navy Wiscon-
sin, Carnegie, Georgia Tech. Drake
and Southern California. Four Of
these teams beat the Ramblers last
year. No team In the country has
played a sitter schedule than Notre
Dame.
Notre Dame faces Northwestern
this week and Army the next, with
no chance Of a let-up, even though
each of these teams has been twice
beaten. It would make the campaign
a success now for any team to
bowl over the Ramblers. Rockne IL
always the main target and West
Point will make ii a grandstand
finish before 10000 in the Yankee
Stadium Nov. 80.

They turned in by far their best

Of stories.
There has been no love lost be-
tween the local coaching staff
and Roy Cochrane, Buff mentor.
He was tie moving power In the
groundless accusation against John
Sylvester. But the anlmoSlty dates
back far beyond that. This incid-
ent was only a symptom OF an old
ailment. Sitting in the press box
near the Main bench, we we're able

against Brownsville In general. He
will be remembered as coach at
Mission several years back.
Even though his charge against
"Leche' was proved false, Cochrane
evidently Is still strongly convinced
that all Is not SO quiet along the
Fetomac as regards to Browns
vile. On one occasion he shouted
for a fact that Perez was a pro-
fessional prize fighter" This quaint
notion probably grew out or a
rumor that was circulated around
Corpus Christi. Fans Of the Bay
City confused Samano with Bob
H~inojosa, Brownsville bruiSer. Coch-
rane avidly seized upon this rum

THREE IMPORTANT
MEASURES TOPASS
Bills for Permanent improve
ments Here viii Go Through,
Gibson Says.

Three particularly important meas
ures looking toward permanent public
improvements for the District of Co
lumbia will be passed at this session,
Representative Gibson, chairman of the
special subcommittee which has been
making an extensive. survey of local at
fairs, said today.
One Of the three measures Is authori-
cation for immediate acquisition of the
four large squares north Of Pennsyl-
vania avenue to Judiciary Square. east
and west of John Marshall place, as a
site for the new municipal center. Mr..
Gibson emphatically believes that the
entire -four squares should be acquired
this measure will meet with no objec-
ton from the Budget Bureau or the
White House.
Two other major building measures
which are correlated should be passed
at the same time, MIR. Gibson feels.
One of these is the Simmons public
school building bill for lump sum ap-
preparation to permit school sites to be
bought and school buildings to be erect
ed whenever and wherever they are
needed without being tied to definite
locations under a five-year building pro-
gram. The other is Mr.. Gibson's own
bill for expansion of the Public Library
facilities to all parts of the city under
a similar lump sum appropriation, and
which especially emphasizes the desir-
ability of having library wings with
separate outside entrance included In
school building plans.
Indications are that all three of these
measures will be passed through an
agreement of House and Senate leaders
at the present session of Congress.

POINT
TO MERCER ACTION
EARLY NEXT WEEK
Elan Modified by Subcommlt-
tee Without Blaine Amend
ment Seen Favored.
NUMBER OF CHANGES
ASKED BY WITNESSES
Completion at This Session Held
Unlikely if New Valuation
Rule Becomes Issue.

The Senate District committee prob
ably will act on the street railway
merger resolution early next week and
indications are it will report out the
plan as modified by the subcommittee
without the Blaine amendment to
establish the prudent investment
method of valuing all local utilities.
Senator Blaine, however, Is likely to
file a minority report should the COM
mittee follow that course, and If the
controversial question of laying down
q new valuation rule as q part Of the
merger legislation becomes an issue in
the Senate those familiar with the situ-
alton are doubtful If the merger can
be completed at this session, with only
four weeks before adjournment.
During the public hearing before the
committee yesterday most Of the wit
nesses favored action on the terms of
merger as worked out by the subcom-
mittee expert, DR.. Milo r. Maltbie, 1eay-
ing the new valuation rule to be con-
sidered by Congress as separate prop
osition. It is thought that a majority
Of the committee favor handling the
Blaine valuation proposal as separate
piece of legislation. Several witnesses
yesterday asked the committee to con-
slider a number of other amendments,
including q clause to require the new
company to carry over the accrued de-
probation reserves of the present COM
panies. This and other questions raised
yesterday will be acted upon when the
committee meets again, probably on
Tuesday.
Chairman Capper Of the Senate Dis
trict committee today introduced in the
Senate bill suggested by the Citizens
Advisory Council, to make several
changes in the public utilities law,
aside from the merger question. One
provides that If the commission finds
that any property of utility, included
in its investment account. is unsafe,
obsolete or not reasonably necessary,
the commission shall require the re-
tirement of such property. Another
proposed amendment would have the
commission exclude from operating ex-
penses any item regarded as unreason-
able.
