BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, April 4.-Accord-
ing to the diagnosis from his bed
side, Knute Rockne is suffering
from Asthma and a cold' and
doubtless he is, but everybody
close to the man knows that this
doesn't end the story OF why
Rockne, a robust specimen IN the
prime of life, remains SteadfaStly
i'll in the face of expert care and
attention. 1t doesn't even finish
the preface.
Rockne is suffering from
malady that is practically extinct
in an age where innate politeneSS
is regarded with marked suspicion.
It is called big heart" by those
who know it only by rumor and
innuendo and no doctor can treat
it because, both by experience and
personal instinct, he knows moth
ing about it.
Besides, il isn't q disease;
it's a very admirable quality.
ROcEne simply is paying the
price Of his popularity and
the latter'S terms are always
exOrbitant.
He is an eloquent man but, he
doesn't know the shortest word.
in the language. He can't say
no" Therefore, every time he
begins to recuperate, somebody
comes running with an axe, that
is looking for an unwary grind.
stone and promptly promotes:
Rockne back to what the realiStS
call a bed of pain. Speech maxi
ing, personal appearances and
kindred molestationS are the
things that really have retarded
Rockne's recovery, not the septic
state of his blood.
1t is al very simple. He stands
on his feet for. an hour and then
lies upon his shoulder blades for
weel-. In brief, he seems to be
playing put-and-take with destiny
on the opposite side of the board,
Rockne, of course, has been some
thing of an incorrigible patient
since he was stricken early last
fall. He loves life so well that
he can't stay away from it and,
to him, life is largely represented
by Notre Dame football.
Twice during the 1929 sea
son he took trips with the
team against his better judg-
ment and each time he paid
the grim price of a long tedi-
GUS relapse.
Then he went south to Miami
and for a time his improvement
was cheerfully rapid. But again
his enthusiasm for life crept upon
him with stealth and guile and
Wantonly betrayed him. The
writer knew of his recent relapse
before the fact became public but
forebore to write about it rather
than write of the man in a pes
SimiStic vein. The whole world
seems to feel that way about
Rockne.
Even his brother coaches, In.
tensely rivalrouS as they are, make
no secret Of the fact that they are
worried about him. Some of them
feel that he shouldn't 60 through
with his plan to take charge of
spring practice at South Bend, al.
though everybody knows that it is
ir the spring that Rockne lays the
cornerstone for the stately struc.
ture that rears its head the fol
