Tech, Irish
End Drills
Steffen Refuses to Name
Carnegie Lineup
Before Game.
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY
United Press staf Correspondent

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. ia
powerful drama of the gridiron will
be unfolded here Saturday when
Notre Dame and Carnegie Tech
battle for national football fame in
the new $75o,O00 stadium.
The combined elements Of two
famous coaches pitting their wits
against each other, two great teams
struggling for national supremacy,
with a grudge battle feature tossed
in for good measure, promise to
make the contest one of the most
thrilling combats of the season.
The eve of the game finds the two
rival coaches, K. K. Rockne and
Judge Walter P. Steffen, earnestly
trying to outguess each other as to
their starting lineups,
Four Combinations Ready
Rockne has four combinations
ready to start-his shock troops,
regulars and two mixtures of the
first and second teams, one with
shock troop line and regular back
field and the. other with q, regular
line and shock troops back field.
While Rockne chuckles and says,
Wouldn't the judge like to know
who I'm going to start?" Steffen
stands his ground and counters
with, II won't pick my team until
Rockne sends his men on to the
field.
A light drill was on the program
for Notre Dame today.
eff they aren't ready for this test
now they'll never be- commented
Rockne. 'I've warned EN-,
Cold Weather Promised
Fifteen miles away the Carnegie
Tech squad had its final workout on
the high school field at Elkhart,
Ind, under the direction of Judge
Steffen, who went from Chicago to
join the team.
f. Cold weather is promised, which
is expected to help bring out the
best football in both teams, which
isn't necessary at all under the cir
cumstances.
Notre Dame is anxious to avenge
defeats suffered in 1926 and 1928
and Carnegie Tech has its eye on a
national football championship.
Notre Dame is not the underdog,
but Carnegie Tech is considered no
worse than a $3.50 shot.
