OLDER FIELD, Chicago, No
vember 29.-By the breath
~ taking margin of single
point, in the last few min
uteS of play, Notre Dame today
beat back the fighting threat of
the Army and marched off to its
eighteenth consecutive foot ball
triumph in two seasons. The
score was Z to 6.
Stopped dead for SIS minutes by a
valiant Army stand and the elemental
barriers of rain, sleet and ice, two of
Knute Rockne's prize Rough Riders,
Marchmont Schwartz and Frank Ca
rideo, snatched the hard-earned victory
by suddenly rushing over touchdown
that the Army duplicated two minutes
later and making a place-kick for the
precious extra point that the Cadets
could not match.
100000 Brave Elements.
One hundred thousands faithful foot
ball fans huddled in, blankets and OIL
cloth robes, watched the thrilling battle,
the stiffest Notre Dame had to fight
during its long victory march.
At the end of the game, Notre Dame
still rode the foot ball crest, but with
the no uncertain knowledge that they
had been to war and lots Of 1t. They
were happy and exultant that all touch
downs are not created equal and that
the sure toe of Carideo again had come
through in o pinch.
The Rockne raiders outplayed the
Cadets and had them hanging onto
the ropes no less than five times with
touchdown threats. But each time the
Cadets stiffened and beat back the at
tack. The winning points came just
when no one expected them on a long
dash by Schwartz.
Schwartz Goes 81 Yards to Score.
With five minutes to go, Army con-
fidently expected nothing worse than a
scoreless tie, and punted back to Notre
Danes 42-yard line. Then the Notre
Dame bomb exploded. Two Smashes-
at the line by Mullins and CaEideo car
ried the ball to Notre Danes 46-yard
line, and the Ramblers, fighting des-
perately, went into huddle.
The ball was handed to Schwartz.
Twisting and squirming, he cut through
Army's left end and left tackle, bounced
two tacklers of his shoulders, and
whirled away for a touchdown. The
Iu1ls Perfectly DkOCAeO, udIcu Tile LluBc
crowd and not until the referee tossed
up his arms did many realize what had
happened. At this point Carideo, one
of the coolest of the Rough Riders under
fire, nonchalantly place-kicked the
extra point.
Only a few cheers echoed throughout
the stadium as Carideo's sure toe sailed
the pigskin on a perfect arch through
the uprights, as no one expected that
an extra point would even be necessary.
Army Gets Touchdown.
But 1t was. The Army came right
back with a touchdown. Back almost
behind his own goal line, because of a
beautiful punt by Ken Fields, Carideo
attempted to play for time by punting
Dick King, substitute Army left end,
crashed through the Notre Dame line,
and blocked the kick, almost as soon
as it left Carideo's toe. The ball
bounced back of the Notre Dame goal
line, toward the side lines, and King
pounced on 1t.
While the big crowd looked on, stun
ned at the sudden turn of foot ball
fortune, Coach SasSe of the Army, i'm
mediately sent in substitute, Broshaus,
to try for the extra point Broshaus,
rushed by the fighting Notre Dame line,
attempted to drop-kick for the extra
point which meant tie or defeat, but
o cloud of blue-shirted players swarmed
all over him, smothered the kick, and
blasted the Army's final chance for a
moral victory. It was a heartbreaking
loss for the Cadets, who had put up
such stand, but 1t was the way of
foot ball
The game ended a minute later. but
Notre Dame held the ball and stalled
for time.
Cadet Line Plays Well.
But for the Army's line, which more
than lived up to its advance notices
and but for the uncertain playing field
Notre Dame might have stormed and
overtaken the Army fortress with ac-
customed abandon. Four times in the
first half the fighting Irish stormed to
within scoring distance of the Army
goal, but each time they were stopped.
Today's game easily would have
reached the new high record for foot
ball attendance in America had the
weather been favorable. Every seat in
the gigantic Chicago Lake Front Sta
dium was sold TO accommodate 125,000
people, including a large force of
ushers and helpers, but many were
kept away by the miserable weather
Several hundred ticket holders took one
look at the field and then tried to sell
or give away their tickets.
