~HICAGO, October 13.-The
heat was on at .Notre Dame
~ today as Knute Rockne
started polishing for the
make or break spot in his suicide
schedule - the Carnegie Tech
game Saturday.
With 10 tough games as well as
the dedication of a new stadium
to figure on, Rockne has coasted
until this week, taking Southern
Methodist and Navy in stride.
But Carnegie Tech is something
else again.
Along with keeping clear its slate
Notre Dame still recalls that the Skibos
were the only OUTFIT to Scuh the sod OF
old Carter Field enough to score .
victory and there is no intention to let
the fasteners accomplish the feat In
the new plant.
Assistant Coach Jack Chevigny
secuted Carnegie last Saturday when
and reported TO Rockne that Coach
Waiter Steffen has physically perfect
squad and the most varied offense he
had ever seen. And Cheyisny played
on some good Notre Dame teams All
the Notre Dame cripples Fullback Larry
Mullins and Regular Tackles Dick
Donashue and Frank Leahy, Were ready
for duty today and Rockne ordered full
speed ahead.
Hot Action in Big Ten.
in the Big Ten. Michigan's Wolverines,
looking more robust than at any time
since 1927 In an inspired 1<-to-13 tri-
umph over Purdue last Saturday, will
play at Ohio State, while Northwestern
will meet Illinois at Urbana and Indiana
invades Minnesota. The intersectional
complexion will be provided by the East
and South. Pennsylvania will play Wis
ccnsin at Madison, while Old Man
Stages Chicago eleven, will be host to
Charlie Bachman's Florida Gators.
Purdue, the defending Big Ten cham
pion, will go to Iowa City to give the
Iowa. folks their lone look at a confer
ence game. The Hawkeyes were still
under ban when the schedules for this
season were made and game with the
Boilerfmakers was all they could lire up
against Q Big Ten foe.
Fortified by Its somewhat unexpected
victory over Purdue, Michigan win be
plenty tough Tor Ohio State. The
Buckeyes, however, demonstrated they
have great power, but need to learn
when TO apply 1t. They outgained
Northwestern Saturday, scoring - Arst
dovAs to Z, but most OF their gaining
was done between the 20-yard lines and
they took ls-to-2 beating.
GopheEs Favofites.
Northwestern even without Hank
Bruder, figures to be too powerful for
Illinois inexperienced squad. The
IlIir1i defeated Butler, 81 to 0, and
showed Improvement over their form
Of q week ago, but should prove no
more than a good test for Northwest
err's veterans. -
Minnesota's heroic stand against
Stanford's power house Saturday makes
the Gophers heavy choice over In
diana. The Hoosiers managed to get
a 7-to-7 tie with the Oklahoma Aggies
Saturday, but that accomplishment
hardly compares with Minnesota's
0-to-0 standoff with Pop Warmers
eleven. Wisconsin blossomed out with
something in trouncing Chicago, 81 to
0. Coach Thistlethwaite displayed q
dozen backs Of varsity caliber, along
with a strong line, and Pennsylvania,
which mauled Virginia, 20 to Q, will be
In for a struggle.
Florida had enc of the best teams
in the South last season and is rated
about as good this season, all of which
makes 1t look bad for Chicago. The
Maroons however, have a habit Of To-
eating a big punch for intersectional
games and Mr.. Stage may surprise the
Gators
