packed into that game at Frank.
lin Field. Philadelphia, today,
between Pennsylvania and Notre
Dame than in any other one
contest Of a Saturday fairly well
filled with good games.
Needless to say the Irish-P Penn
contest is a sellout-and has
been for 10 days, We saw .
WaShingtonian refuse $50 for
two tickets to this one, no later
than yesterday morning. There
is vengeance riding in that game
up in Philadelphia today, too,
wrathful vengeance between a
player Of the South Bend school
and the coach Of the Pennsyl-
vania team.
Marty Brill, who has devel-
oped into something Of a half
back for Notre Dame once
played, or tried to play for Penn,
but some way or another didn't
seem to fit into the scheme Of
things as arranged by the
Quaker coaches. He and Lud
Wray, who at the time was
assistant to Lou Young, the
then Penn head coach, didn't
gee for dern and Marty knew
he could never get anywhere in
a football field at Penn with
that situation staring him in the
face.
How well he steered his course
by going to Notre Dame, is es-
tablished in the fact that since
Marty left Penn, Lud Wray has
become head coach, and so it
is today that Marty Is back at
Franklin Field today playing
against a team Of which he
might otherwise have been a
member.
Being stymied at Penn. young
Brill, whose father is the manu-.
facturer Of all those street cars
you have ridden in, did not be-
have himself as would many
lads whose fathers are indie
. pendent1y wealthy-quit college
to loaf on their dads dough.
Instead he quit Penn and
went to Notre Dame where
many Of his friends had been
in1portuning him to go since
his prep-School days.
Young Bril- didn't have an
easy time getting into Notre
Dame either. In the first place.
when he applied for enrolment,
they told him the applications
already exceeded the, accomoda-
tions Of the school and that the
limit number Of students for
the year had been accepted.
The boy was about to move
on further West, possibly to
Stanford, where a fond aunt
always wanted him to go any
way, when one Of the student
managers of football at Notre
Dame learned a good football
prospect was about to be lost
and asked Brill to sit tight un-
til he could get Knute Rockne
on the job.
Proceeding to get all Of the
information on the Brill case,
including the fact that Marty
had units to spare when it came
to holastic requirements,
Rockne tore into the registrars
office and. commenced to fume.
Among other things Knute
learned before seeing the reg
istrar was the fact that after
the university'S quota had been
filled, one extra student had
been accepted who had come
with SO many recommendations
regarding his brilliance as a
student that Notre Dame
couldn't very well turn him
down. 49,.
'"YOu have admitted an extra
student" ROckne calculated, "a
student with . bulging forehead
and . flat chest!"
"Here I have q boy who hap
pens to have . bulging fore
head as well rs q bulging chest.
Since the quota rule has already
been broken you can scarcely
discriminate against Martin
Brill because he happens to
have . buIging chest, whereas
the lad you have accepted has
. flat CheSt!"
So Brill was accepted and he
devoted q year to playing with
the freshman team in 1928. Last
year he made the first team,
starring as e blocker and an in
terferer, but this year he has
blossomed forth as q bali car.
rier and he hopes to carry it
plenty on Franklin Field this
afternoon against the team for
which he wasn't good enough
three years ago. He goes back
to haunt, and taunt, If you
please, Penn and Lud Wray
today!
