this season by 20 to %, but that was
when 1t had all its players available.
Last Saturday night North Carolina
State defeated Maryland by ,28 to 20,
and about two weeks ago the University
OF North Carolina took the measure Of
North Carolina State by ~ to IS, which
indicates that North Carolina and Mary
land ought not to be so far apart In the
caliber of their teams. 1t Is likely that
the Tarheels and Old Liners will stage

1t is rather significant too, that Mills

three assistants. It is not 0enefaIly
known, and Rockne Is not shouting t
TO the world, either, but the real Sc
cret of the Notre Dame defense lies
not in its shifting backs. but IN jts
shifting end and in, the offensive play
OF its ends, a gridiron tactic first EN-
ployed by Bankhart at Colgate, and one
tnat IS doubly successful when the end
IS able to beat the ball and get the
jump on the opposing tackle.
Mills apparently intends to have men
on hand able to teach Georgetown's
ENDS how to play real offensive, foot
ball, and let it be known right here
that no other ends in the country
should be better able to do that, as
Notre Danes wingmen usually are tust
about the best. Yet IN Notre Danes
teams they seldom are mentioned.

now comprises Mills as head coach and
three members of last Falls Notre
Dame eleven. Moynihan, center and
Colrick and Murphy, ends. One other
factor that probably impelIed Colrick's
choice Is the fact that he is a star
base ball player and can be used to aid
IN coaching that sport.

If the two schools had a basket hall
game scheduled, there is not much
doubt that the game itself would be
brilliantly played, as both have In their
line-upS good men, well coached. 1t is
source of regret that the present basket
ball season could not be wound .up with
game. between Georgetown and Mary
