ROCKNE RECORD GREAT
By the Associated Press.

IL defeated teams from the field.
In only two years under Rockne did
the Irish suffer more than one defeat.
Their poorest season was that OF 1928,
when they we're beaten four times.
Notre Danes complete record for the

compiling this record the Irish scored
2,847 points to opponents 667. Five
Rockne elevenS were unbeaten, those of

Knute R0ckne.
TINE sudden, tragic death Of Knute
RocSne, Notre Danes great foot
ball coach, comes as one o. the
greatest shocks the world Of
sport has ever known. Here was not
only a rare genius on the foot ball field
but a personality that for years had
caught and held the attention OF MIL
lions.
Knute Rockne could have been an
outstanding figure in any career or pro-
feSsion he might have adopted. He had
brains, ability, character and the vital
qualities Of leadership. He stuck to foot
ball because that was the game he loved
and because it belonged to the type Of
younger men who were his kind
Foot ball Is q game that demands
spirit and action, and Knute Rockne
had these elements to rare degree. He
knew foot ball and he knew how to
teach It, having shown this teaching
ability as q chemistry professor al Notre
Dame before he took up foot ball coach
ing. Beyond this he had the knack of
appealing to the student in the right
way, the knack Of holding interest and
attention. And more than all, he had
the imagination that belongs TO genius.
And he had the ability to transfer o lot
Of his imagination to his team.
His Path TO Success.
7 SPENT most Of the afternoon and
i evening with Knute on. one Of his
trips east. We were discussing then
his main fundamentals Of attack.
ANY successful attack IN this modern
game" he said then, must be based
largely upon fine blocking and the ele-
ment Of misdirection. No team can
win through sheer power and, after all,
that is no way TO try for victory in
a game that can find such able use for
brains. I have used the shift because
it Helped along the lines of misdirec-
tion-of threatening one spot and then
striking at another But back Of it all
you must have the blockers who can
provide the openings and the interior
enee.
"At Notre Dame we talk little about
ball carriers. We talk about the block
ers, the men who clear the way. The
greatest back in the world couldn't
make any ground without good block
ing. An ordinary back can get the dis
lance when you open the road.
should say that blocking and misdi-
rection Of attack, plus speed, are the
three strongest qualities in my offenSe. u
IAN that" suggested, plus q rare
foot ball spirit for which you have been
largely responsible"

Another Factor.

HAVING the material developed and
i 4 the plays at hand, Knute under
stood that the next step was to
build up the quarterback who could
handle his attack. Few will know how
patiently, how hard and how long he
worked with such stars as Harry Stuhl-
dreher and Frank Carideo, two Of his
best leaders.

AKRON INVESTIGATION
INVITED BY MOFFETT
Nations Attention Would Be
Drawn to Wonders of Great

Congressional inquiry into the air
worthinesS Of the U. S. S. Akron, giant
Navy dirigible, will be welcomed, it was
stated yesterday by Rear Admiral William
A. Moffett, chief of the Navy Bureau
Of Aeronautics, as means of calling
to the attention of the Nation the real
wonders OF the worlds greatest air
craft.
Despite criticism Of the Akron, d.
rected chiefly at her overweight and
failure to make the anticipated top
speed, Admiral Moffett thinks that the
big airship lives up fully to advance
claims made for her In announcing
the Nays acceptance Of the Akron,
after successful trial flights, Admiral
Moffett has challenged those who have
been finding fault with the ship to sub
NIT all the facts they may have.
A congressional inquiry is to be un-
dertaken by the House Naval Affairs
Committee through the efforts Of Rep
resentatives Fred A. Britten, Republic
an, of illinois, Carl VinSon Of Geor-
gia, prospective Democratic chairman
Of the committee, and James McClin-
tic. Democrat, of Oklahoma.

Moffett, welcomes an investigation of
whatever sort that will clear UP for all

reason or another have been circulated

The Attorney General said the report

First Pilot in Command.
Another interesting feature is the
fact that the 1st Air Division, the first
unit of its kind in the history CT
American aviation, is commanded by
the Army's first airplane pilot, Brig
Gen. Benjamin. D. Foulois, who for
some time was the whole flying per-
sonnet of the Army. Gen. Foulois is
expected to become chief of the Army
Air Corps following the retirement Of
Mai. Gen. James e. Fechet.
Foulois, then q lieutenant, took a
correspondence course in flying from
the Wright brothers ~ years ago. fol-
its first airplane. Foulois had the
plane shipped to Texas and went there
to learn how to fly It. He would fly
until he made some mistake, some
times damaging the plane as q result,
then would communicate with the
Wrights by mail, detail the trouble and
ask for information as to how to cor
rect his errors.
Lieut.. Foulois had to pay a large
part of the cost of maintaining the
Army's first airplane out of his own
pocket because Of a deficiency of con-
gressional appropriations for the pur-
pose He was SO thoroughly self
taught that he still ranks as one Of
the most capable pilots in the Air
Corps.
He illustrated his ability to ny in
dramatic fashion when the maneuvers
began by leaving 19 other Army pilots
behind on the trip from the National
Capital to Dayton, when he broke
through a solid wall of fog and storm
over the Alleghenies. So bad was the
storm that two other flyers were forced
down, others turned back or failed to
start at all.
Wright Field, of which Fairfield Air
Depot, scene of the concentration of the
Air Division, Is a part. was the scene
of the first flights Of the Nations first
military plane. The open fields which
now compose the magnificent flying
sion, were used by the Wright brothers
for many Of their early flights.
Over the ground where the first Army
plane made it's maiden flights the
mightiest air force the Army ever has
assembled has been undergoing training
for combined action on scale never
before undertaken in peace-time mill

The Army sets developed at Wright
Field have been used successfully up to
ranges of 100 miles. Much of the credit
for the new set, regarded as one of the
most important military aviation COM
mJInication developments In several
years, goes to Lieut. Albert F. Hegen-
berger of the Materiel Division, hero
with Lieut.. Lester Maitland of the first
flight from the United States to Hawaii.

Rivers and Capt. j. c. Whitesides, radio

two-way radio telephone outfit of a size
and weight making possible installation

Announcement OF the completion Of

lowing successful tests a few DAYS ago in
the vicinity of Wright Field during
which three-way conversation was
maintained between airplanes travelling
many miles apart.
