Hornsby Hits
Pinch Homer

CHICAGO. Sept. IA. (P)-Rogers
Hornsby may be anything but the

Boston Braves.
Hornsby had yanked himself from
the Cub lineup. sending Lester Cell
to third base in an effort 10 insert
more punch into the Bruins drive
to grab off third money in the Ma

taken a two III lead. the Braves
tied 1t up in the ninth and in the

himself to try TO pull the ball game

Hemsley back to the dugout and

Those who wanted to cheer did

the former by thousands. The boo

Hornsby crashed the next pitch

READY TO GO
Ample Backfield Material
Available to Replace
Lost Stars
BY PAUL NICHOLSON
Associated Press Sports WRITER

<n19OLA0&S0 1ftah1
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. IA
You can get three different answers
by asking Jesse Harper. Heartily
Anderson or Jack Chevigny, what
kind Of a football team Notre Dame
will send out this fall to take care
OF the schedule arranged by the
late Knute Rockne.
Harper, who taught Rockne his
football, and who has returned TO
the camp Of the fighting Irish to
be athletic director, thinks Notre
Dame will have a pretty good
Heam." He Is neither optimistic nor
ypessimistic.
Anderson. named as senior coach
after the tragic death of the incom-
parable Rockne. Is positively CHEEKY
owe the prospects.
Good Material
We have the makings Of q good
line," Anderson says. and / think
Chevigny will give us another good
backfield. We have lost Frank
Carideo, Marty Brill, Larry Null
Inns, Joe Savoldi. Paul O'Connor
and some other fine backs, but we
have q big squad and enough men
who played last season to give us a
good start, in addition TO some
promising first year candidates"
Chevigny, the junior coach. Is
anything but optimistic. AS back
field coach under Rockne In 1929
and 1890, he developed great at
lacking forces. and the response
bility OF building another n rests
with him this year-the most try
ing In the football history Of Notre
Dame.
Wen have a backfield and sub
~stitutes. but you can't replace men
like Carideo, Brill, Mullins and
O'Connor Just because you want to-"
was Chevigny's answer.
Notre Dame will use the same
stuff that Rockne taught and left
with Anderson and Chevigny. OPP
posing teams will try to stop the
famous shift and the repetition of
one or two plays until they click in
q game, will again be the noticeable
feature. The line. led by Captain
Tom Yarr, will be made up of such
Z veterans as Paul Host and Ed
AKosky, ends; Al Sulver and Joe
Kurth, tackles. and Nordy Hoff-
man. guard. Returning to the big
problem department. the backfield,
