DETROIT STILL THE LEAD

plicants. Detroit is leading this week with
243 new members, next comes New York with
90 and Buffalo with So. The tempo must not
be allowed to slow down during the rest of
the drive. Only 60 Negroes were recruited
this week. That means that only per cent
of the new members were Negro workers. The
percentage for the whole drive is now only
Is per cent, which indicates an inexcusable
slackness in recruiting Negro workers to the
Party. In the middle of the drive we had 20
per cent Negroes, then it went down to Is per
cent, next to IT per cent and now it has
reached the very low figure of Is per cent.
Every district, except Philadelphia, must i'm
prove its recruitment of Negro comrades.

Phila. Closing In On New York-Negro
Going Down.

WITH eight weeks passed the Recruiting
Drive shows three districts over the top:
Detroit, New York and Philadelphia This
week 725 new members were recruited to the
Party. In earlier figures some of the dis
tricts, in spite of the Polburo resolution,
smugged in applications instead of only ac-
cepted members. This must stop completely,
only accepted members should be reported.
The Central Office of the Party receives thru
our press direct applications up to tens and
hundreds. These are not reported before ac-
cepted by the districts by the units, the same
procedure must be carried thru with all APP

With 3 districts over the top we have
other districts above so per cent: Chicago, Buff
falo, Cleveland, Minnesota, California, Con-
necticut and the South. District II, the Da-
kotas, contributed for the first time But to-
gether with Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Seat

in this drive.

DIV subs can be gotten also in far away dis

are so poor that the Party must-to save the

cordance with special DIV instructions, show

Shop Nuclei
very serious shortening in the drive is
the weak activity in building new shop nuclei.
The Party cannot afford to permit any slack
ness on this field special efforts must be
made by every district to fill the quota of new
shop nuclei. Concentration of comrades for
leading and most energetic forces to be as
signed to such work. systematically to carry
through planned offensive in the most i'm
portant factories. A control should be made
in all street nuclei, to find out if comrades
working in shops are members of street nuclei
instead of shop nuclei. Every comrade work
ing in shop must request the assistance of
nearest Party committee in building up shop
nucleus in his shop: and all leading committees
should give more and more attention to this
work from now on. No district failing to fill
its quota of shop nuclei can be considered TAX
ing the work of Bolshevization seriously. So
far only ~ per cent of the quota are filled.
Cleveland is leading with so per cent together
with Phla. Next comes Detroit with 81 per
cent and Boston with 60 per cent. Chicago
and New York are scandalously low and we
must demand from both of these districts that
they exceed their quota considerably. Espe-
cially since the time for the drive has been
prolonged to March /. Of the shop paper

and Boston going over the top and Buffalo
100 per cent.

 Gandhi announced he contemplat- cd further step of mass civil diso- todlencc in which Indians would re- fuse 10 pay taxes and disobey all laws not involving moral principles. This was to be taken just as soon as hc had prepared his followers for it.

CAVALIERS BATTLE
CADET ELEVEN NEXT
V. N. I. First of Six Conference
Teams Virginia Will Play
in Succession.

UNIVERSITY, Va, October IA
After trips North and South, Virginia
will play in the Old Dominion next
Saturday. The Cavaliers go to Lexing-
ton for the twenty-sixth game with the
Cadets of Virginia Military Institute.
Cadets and Cavaliers started their
gridiron meetings back in 1893. They
have been playing with reasonable
regularity every since. In the early
days they skipped a few seasons, but
since 1907 they have missed only three
years, and two Of those were during the
war when foot ball ceased to be.
For two seasons v. M. I. has had the
better of it. In 1928 they caught the
Cavaliers in a slump the week after
Princeton was tied, 0 to O. And last
year it presented a veteran team that
had almost everything its way.
v. M. I. Is the first Of six Southern
Conference rivals Virginia will play one
after the other. Then comes Kentucky,
Maryland, Washington and Lee, Viz
GINA Polytechnic Institute and North
Carolina.

PRECISION, POWER
MARK NEW ELEVEN
Lacks Color of Other Irish
Outfits, but Plays With
Calculated Finesse.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

- HICAGO, October 14.-Old
1 Notre Dame stars, grown
~ accustomed over the years
to great foot ball teams
and severely critical of each new
one that springs from the fertile
soil of st. Josephs Valley until the
pretenders have proved their I'LL
innate value, are calling this 1880
edition of the Ramblers sae
greatest team Knute Rockne ever
constructed. Extravagant praise,
perhaps, but given with much
good reason.
This 1880 Notre Dame team lacks the
color and speed of the four horsemen's
years: it has no single player who can
remotely be compared with George
Gipp and there is no raging Jack Can
non on the line. But 1t is team of
Understandable power that plays with
the calculated f1nesse only Rockne gives
an eleven, and is daily gaining momen-
tum to drive through one of the hardest
schedules ever devised.
Fine Play Against Navy.
Navy gave Notre Dame little serious
opposition in the game that dedicated
the Irish new stadium Saturday;
nothing like the long rough duel the
raiders had with Southern Methodist.
But against lesser opposition the rapid
development of skill and power easily
could be noted. The line play had been
smoothed out and the forwards were
fulfilling assignments cleanly and
quickly Backs were getting to the line
of scrimmage with more speed and the
entire team showed improved CO.
ordination.
Rockne used more than so men
against the Navy and in the last min
utes of the contest the conglomerate
mixture of fourth and fifth string subs
still was driving toward the Sailors
goal. The regulars, minus Moon
Mullins, the feet fullback, and Dick
Donoghue, veteran tackle, were in the
game less than 20 minutes and scored
20 points.
Rockne was easy on Bill Ingram. for
he could have made the score almost
what he wished h& d the first-stringers
remained. Then a substitute combina-
