cal national title, but NOtre
Dame, by the schedule which
included teams from every
section of the country, W.
have a more impressive bid If
army is bowled over.
When Knute Rockne selected his
opponents for his 1929 schedule, he
did SO with the feeling that Georgia
Tech would be the best of the south,
Army, Navy and Carnegie Tech the
class of the east, Southern Califor-
ria the best of the west, and North
western. Indiana and Wisconsin a
fair representative of the Western
Conference. The Notre Dame team
successfully has gone through all OF
these teams, plus Drake, and likely
will take over Army and go unde-
feated.
Sleight, TwOmey Great
The argument will go on forever,
probably. as to which team is bet
ter. Notre Dame or Purdue. Both
have a great array of backfteld
talent, probably more backfield stars
for two teams than any other pair
OF squads in the country.
An analysis of the two squads,
back fields excepted, reveals each
has a great tackle Sleight for the
POilermakerS and TWomley for the
fish. Unger of Indiana was great
tackle last year At times this fall
he looked the Unger of old, but at
other times he semed to let down.
Because Twomley was up and at EN-
every minute, he gets the call over
Uneer. Sleight was the better OF
the three from what we have seen,
although we have heard consider
able of the Notre Dame demon.
Few Good Ends
Woerner played fine ball at end
for Purdue, after he got into the
lineup. but he did not earn regu-
lar berth before the season opened.
He was unable to beat Mackle out.
so We can not figure him for the tlrSt
team. although he did catch the
passes that beat Iowa. Collins is
the best of the Notre Dame lot.
although everybody heard of Con-
ley catching a pass that beat South
ern California. Good ends were
few in Indiana this fall and Royce,
who played brilliantly against both
Northwestern and New York univer-
sitv has proven himself capable OF
ls~L5ing down a wing job on any
team in the state.
one might wonder why Notre
Dame has so many positions on the
first Times all-state selection. All
things equal. Notre Dame holds an
edge. and a decided one, in the
center of the line. Indiana not hav-
ing any linemen of note except
Unger and Catterton, an end, Is
counted out.
Miller Surprises
Purdue looms as the best oppoSi-
ton for the Irish guards and center.
Miller was a good center, played
far better than he had been expect
ed in his first year, but he Is out

good guard, but certainly outclaSsed
by the great pair of Irish guards,
Cannon and Law.
No one will doubt that Carideo
Is the greatest of the Notre Dame
backs. No one who knows the in
side will dispute that WEIGH is the
brains and the Drawn of the Purdue
ball toting division. WEIGH is prob
ably greater than Carideo, in some
respects, but the little Irish field
general likely will gain much all
America mention the same as Two
mey and Cannon. If you were TO
stop dozen fans on the street and
ask them to name the best back field
man at Notre Dame, the majority
of them would say Elder. Jack is
great ball carrier. When that is
said, all is said, although he is
good paSSer.
Elder, in our opinion, is the third
best back at Notre Dame, but when
one considers all around ability of
the Notre Dame backs, Marty Brill
