Notre Dame Coach Receivers Suf-
fciently to Be Permitted to
Make Visit to South Bend.

By the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER, Mimi, May 6.-Knute
Rockne, the sick coach of Notre Dame
has so far recovered that he will be
permitted to go to South Bend, Ind,
Friday and watch his foot ball team
in its final Spring workouts.
He will return to Rochester in June,
however, where he can be under con-
slant observation the greater part of
the Summer as a safeguard against
spreading the blood clot in his right
leg, an ailment that has kept him in
a wheel chair since last Fall.
Rockne is now able to walk without
the aid of crutches and looks Surpris-
ingly well for man who has been
through such long siege of illness.

Cavalry Had Its Part
in Revolutionary War

One of the latest discoveries con-
corning the War Of the Revolution is
that imposing cavalry forces were
among the factors that won indepen-
dence for the Colonies. The general
belief was that ragged, uniformed in
fantry waged the struggle.
Robert w. Chambers, preparing his
torical data for a fiction serial in
Woman's Home Companion, found
that four regiments of cavalry were
actively engaged. The light horsemen
were gorgeOusly arrayed, with leath-
err or steel helmets heavily ridged
with fur or feathers or profusely
plumed with red, white or black horse
hair. At COwpens and Eutaw there
were pitched cavalry battles, wherein
the troops operated with such success
that many military observers believe
that more use Of the cavalry would
have shortened the war by many
months. If not years.
Among Chambers other discoveries
were the facts that the colOrs buff and
blue, usually supposed to have been
those of the Continentals, were seldom
seen except in the uniforms of GER
tain officers. The Colonial soldiers
were uniformed according to the de-
signs of their governments but it was
seldom that they fought in hOmespun.
