MIDWEST IS LEADER
IN RANKING ELEVENS
Has Slight Edge on East in Past
Seven Years Under Dickin-
son System.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, December II [R).
Foot ball honors have been well scat
tered over the country in the past seven
years, but the Middlewest leads the East
by slight margin in representation
among the eleven strongest teams as
ranked by the Dickinson rating system.
DR.. Frank Dickinson, University of
Illinois commerce instructor and orig
inator of the system, today announced
the geographic distribution of leading
teams before he left for South Bend,
Ind. to present Notre Dame with the
RisSman national foot ball trophy at a
testimonial dinner tonight. Notre
Dame gained permanent possession of
the trophy by winning 1t three times
within decade.
In the past seven years the Middle
west has placed "a teams among the
first eleven. Other sections were rep
resented as follows: East, %; Pacific
Coast, 16; Big Six, 4; South and South
west, H. "If the small number Of
large colleges, is considered, the Pacific
Coast seems to have a slight edge on
sectional honors for the seven seasons" !"
DR.. Dickinson said.
Southern California has been ranked
among the first eleven teams six out of
the past seven years. Notre Dame, Illi-
named five times, while Michigan, Army
and Pennsylvania have landed among
the first eleven teams four times.
National trophy winners were: Notre
Dame, 1924; Dartmouth, 1925; STAN
ford, 1925; Illinois, 1927; Southern CAL
ifornia, 1923; Notre Dame, 1929; Notre

A NNAPOLIS, Md, December IL.
~ while the Midshipmen, loyal
~ to the core to their team and
elated over the showing against
Pennsylvania, can see nothing but VIC
tory for the Navy Saturday, those in
closer touch with the team and with
a better understanding of the situation
still are inclined to believe that the
Army has stronger eleven and should
win.
This does not mean that there Is any
considerable body of Navy people who
do not see a possible victory for their
team, but 1t does mean that they recog-
ntze the superior experience of most
OF the Army players and that, upon
the whole, they have played better foot
ball than the MidShipmen this season.
In particular, it is feared here that
the Army's requirements will be the
means of wearing down the Navy team,
so that the Cadets will win the decision
In the latter part OF the game.
Navy BackfieId Strong.
Navy people believe that their line
is every bit as strong as that Of the
Army and that it is a rugged set of
men and not likely to have many losses
on account of injuries during the game.
Still, injuries may come, and there is
not a line substitute to compare with
first choice for any position.
The Navy is somewhat better of for
backfleld substitutes, as the game
against Pennsylvania indicated. In ad-
dition to Bauer, Cannon, Kirn and Hag-
berg, it has Williams, Tschirgi Camp
bell, Hurley, Davis, Castree and others.
all competent backfield men. Even in
this department, however, it does not
begin to have the reserves as are at
the disposal Of the Army team.

speakers, except Rockne himself, lauded
the 1880 team as the best Notre Dame
ever had.
I'VE can't in fairness compare our
teams" Rockne said. "I'll say this
much-that this team is one Of the
gamest we've ever had and one Of the
best. It did one Dig thing that I'll

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

0HICAGO, December 11.-What
will Knute Rockne find when
~ he goes to the lumber pile next
Spring-for it is in Spring
practice that the old magician molds
his teams-to search for material with
which to build another championship
foot ball machine?
The slick rock saw eight regulars and
six substitutes make their last dash for
Notre Dame when Southern California
was slaughtered, and not even Merlin
can replace with a mere wave Of the
hand such stars as Carideo, Brill, Null
Inns, Metzger, Kassis and Conley. Still
Rockne does not seem greatly worried -
just take look at his schedule. There
are always a half dozen stars in the
making at Notre Dame.
You likely will find Nicholas Lukats
Of Gary, Ind, filling the shoes of Marty
Brill when another season blossoms.
Rockne thinks right well of Lukats, who
was an honor student at Froebel High
School. Only 19 years of age, 6 feet
tall and 100 pounds of whalebone, the
young fellow can do many things with
a foot ball.
Lukats is of Greek descent and won a
scholarship to an Eastern university.
But his name or something was unsat-
isfactory to the gentlemen of the effete
Eastern school, so the boy went to Notre
Dame, where names and ancestry mean
nothing so long as you can study and
block hard
Lukats played only one year of high
school foot ball and at Gary was better
known as track and basket ball star,
but he is blooming under Rockne'S
eagle eye.
Loses Three Ends.
Rockne loses three ends-Tom Con-
ley, Johnny O,Brien and George Vlk.
But to succeed them he has Paul Host,
Edwin Kosky and Dick Mahoney. Host
and Kosky saw lot of service during
the recent campaign and Mahoney Is
developing rapidly. AL Culver will be
back at left tackle and it's likely that
Frank Hoffman, Joe Kurth, Jim Car

Kreuz and a half dozen others also are

assignment
Notre Dame will be well equipped
with experienced centers. Tom Yarr

men than the husky boy from China
