K|RN HOPE OF NAVY
FOR TWO BIG T|LTS
Looks to Fine Back to Go

N YEW YORK, December About
year ago this time Coach Bill
" Ingram at Navy and his as
sistants began to perk up and
take notice of the foot ball doings of
a slippery youngster named Lou Kirn.
Today this same young man, not pack
ing as much heft as he might, but still
a teeth-rattling line plunger and an
all-round fine ball carrier, is the big
hope of the midshipmen against Penn
sylvania and later the Army.
The duel of a Pennsylvania team
that was crushed by Notre Dame and
beaten by Cornell and Navy squad
that has won only two major contests
is still attractive enough to promise
gathering of 10000 in Franklin Field.
Much of the experts focus will rest
on Kirn and an injury to the feet

Joy, however, had an advantage,
though possibly it viii be heeting, for

togs and will start in the all-important
fray. Gloom still was on the side lines
in spite Of that, for two ex-Trojans,
using Notre Dame plays, scored three
touchdowns on the regulars during yes
terday's practice.
The return of Wilcox, out for three
weeks with slight conclusion Of the

factor in swaying local odds slightly In
favor Of the Trojans.

The Trojans rolled UP 382 points in

scored by Denver were made against
the third and fourth string TroJans.
Stanford with IL, Washington State

NO BATTLE LIKELY
IN BIG TEN SESSION
Only Proposed Change in

0HIcAGo, December A. Peace
and comparative tranquility are
4 expected when officials, athletic
directors and coaches of the
Big Ten hold their annual meetings here
Friday and Saturday.
The Iowa case has passed into history
and reliable sources indicate no protests
win be made during the two-day ses-
sions. Most of the schedules for 1881
have been framed already, because of
the new rotating schedule system.
One business matter that may stir UP
some argument is the proposal of North
western University to move the Notre
Dame Northwestern foot ball game Of
1881 from Notre Dame Stadium to
Soldier Field, Chicago, so that North
western can fulfill its promise to give
the Illinois State Unemployment Com
mission $1OO,000 as an advance of the
greater receipts. The Big Ten faculty
committee turned down the proposal to
shift the 1880 Notre Northwest
ern game from Dyche Stadium to Sol
der Field. Some of the committee
members may stick to their opposition
to breaking the Big Ten rule. forbidding
a Big Ten team from playing on any
but college foot ball field.
Eleven intersectional foot ball games
with Eastern, Southern and Far West
ern opponents already have been sched-
uled.
They are: October 8, Utah at North
western and Pittsburgh at Iowa; Oc-
tober 10, Minnesota at Stanford, Iowa
at Texas Aggies and Vanderbilt at Ohio
State; October IL, Yale at Chicago; Oc-
tober "a, Wisconsin at Pennsylvania and
Purdue at Carnegie Tech; October 81,
Michigan at Princeton and George

Rockne, Worried, Training Subs
To Take Injured Mullins Place

big game only three days away, Rockne
was worried.
"It makes the outlook darker than
had feared" Rockne said. Mullins
was a great defensive player In addi-
ton to his great ability to carry the
ball and weIl miss him."
Any and everybody were afforded q
welcome to watch the Rough Riders go
through their first drill on the Uni
versity of Arizona field yesterday, but
today's practices we're secret. A light
scrimmage was on the program and
spirits were high despite the loss of
Mullins.
Rockne has been harried by requests
to appear at banquets and to give
speeches along the route. Last night
he said he would gladly speak at every
station If only the enthusiastic fans
permitted his players to rest.
After todays workouts, one in the
morning and another in the afternoon,
the Notre Dame squad planned to hop
aboard its special train for the final
Journey to Los Angeles, arriving there
Friday. The Fighting Irish" planned
a short workout on the Trojan field to

TUCSON, Ariz., December 4.-The
task of filing Fullback Larry
Mullins shoes added to Coach
Knute Rockne's worries today as
he marshaled out his Notre Dame
rough riders for their final workouts
for the invasion Of the University of
Southern California.
Rockne yesterday revealed that Null

the Trojans because his knee, badly
wrenched in the Army game last week,
had not responded to treatment. The
loss Of Mullins, who replaced "Gallop-
ing Joe" Savoldi when the latter was
dismissed from school for his venture
into matrimony, was sad blow to Notre
Danes hopes of victory.

CEvERAL queries have drifted in as
~ TO the best all-around foot ball
player Of the year-the one who
could carry out more assignments up to
the higher standards.
At least two of the leading nomina-
tions must be Fesler of Ohio State and
Dodd Of Tennessee. Fesler was an end
and a defensive fullback, backing up
the line; he was signal caller, fine
forward paSser and a kicker. He car
ried on at least four or five jobs and
he handled each one ably. The same is
true Of Dodd of Tennessee. Dodd
might be listed as q quarterback, a half
back and fullback. He ran the team,
he did most q the blocking, all the
passing and all the kicking. He was
the best forward paSser In the country,
rated by Dan McGugin on a par with
Benny Friedman Of Michigan days. He
was the one kicker who could match
Carideo. He comes close to being the

Blocking Value.

Blocking Value.
A NUMBER Of teams suddenly dis
IA covered the value Of blocking, this
season. Knute Rockne and few
others have known for years it was the
most important fundamental in all foot
ball. There is no other fundamental to
which Rockne has given half the time
and thought and instruction. A good
blocker is always a fine foot ball player.
A great ball carrier may be only fair
foot ball player If he can't block, the
chances are he is also q poor defensive
back.
ANY young foot ball player who has
any yearning to be a star should get
to work at once on the art OF block
ing. There was a time when only
fiashy ball carriers were picked on all
star teams Now the better blockers
get first call. There are many who
are both, and they make foot ball
teams. There never has been foot
ball team with as many fine blockers
and ball carriers as the Notre Dame
backfield that included Carideo, Brill,
Savoldi, Schwartz and Mullins. They
have won 10 straight games through
two Of the hardest schedules in foot
ball with the toughest test Of the lot
yet to come. But Savoldi is missing,
as he was against Northwestern and the
Army.
Another foot ball fan wants to know
how Fordham and Colgate compared in
the East. 1t is enough to say that both
had fine foot ball teams, two Of the best
between South Bend, Ind, and the
Atlantic Ocean. Each lost game to
strong rival. Their records tell the story
better than large bale Of words could
hope to do.
Bob Grove Of the Athletics took his
shot at 80 victories last season but fell
away by two games. The days when Cy
Young, Matty, Walsh, Alexander and
johnson used to win from 80 to 36
games year seem to be lost In the
fogs Of yesterday. Grove was the out
standing pitcher Of the year. working
with the club that won world cham
pionahip, and yet couldn't quite make
