The national champions, Notre
Dame; and Carnegie Tech, take
the spotlight with their intersec-
tional battle at South Bend. Car
regie pins its faith in two hopes
first, that Notre Danes less eX-
perienced forward wall will not
stand the gaff, Of Techs roaring
backfield, and, second, that the en-.
tire Rockne outfit has been burned
out and weakened in stamina by
their iouStSs against Southern
MethodistS and Navy on successive
Saturdays.
The latter hope Is rather
weakened. Coach Knute
ROckne used so many players
against Navy that none of his
regulars was taxed, and there
isn't any reason to believe
that he Is not going to face

The answer to the Cornell
Princeon problem may be taken
from Gloomy Gil Dobie's pre-
game statement. For the first
time in years the veteran mentor
has come out dripping optimism.
