Konrad, shortly afterward, was
playing defensive right half for the
TarS. The same play involving
Travis as thrower and Mason
as a receiver was called. Mason
outSmarted Konrad, caught Ira
Wis perfect pass, and another
touchdown was registered for
S. M. U.
In a sense, it is unkind to
bluntly place blame for touch
down. However, it is a necessity
in order to tell the whole story,
really, Of Nays 13-6 defeat.
Samuels and Konrad both will
learn from their errors of defense
and, after all, Saturdays was only
just another football game. Both
Navy men should not take to
heart any cenSure which might
come their way. Both played fine
football. and, perhaps, it was their
greennesS, coupled with their fine
aggressiveneSS, which caused their
errors.
Is Coming Star
Incidentally. Samuels has devel-
oped astonishingly and bids fair to
become a star Of the first magni-
tude. His play has improved to
an unbelievable extent during
these past seven weeks. Provided
he does not take the wrong way
reference to his error of Saturday
he should offer a corking football
game in each of Navy'S three tits.

Field Goal Comes Back

Their contributions to the
next-to-last Saturday Of major
football games was not only q
victory for their teams, but q
victory for the all-too-little used
field goal which has gone
practically in the discard since
the goal posts have been planted
ten yards beyond the goal line.
Some with whom we have
spoken believe Notre Danes
regulars took it too easily
against Navy a week ago to be
at their best opposed to South
ern CalifornianS last Saturday.
These theorists believe Notre
Dame should have trained on
a tougher diet than the Mid
shipmen the week before they
we're to have met the Trojans.
Whether such be second-gueSs-
ing is a matter Of opinion, but
the fact remains Notre Dame
lacked a little something to
stem a team determined to do
what no other eleven had been
able to accomplish in % games.
Notre Danes reign in foot
ball has been one of the most
remarkable in the annals Of the
game, and she has nothing
over which to hang a head
in view of losing to a team as
well powered as the Trojans.
Hunk Anderson has carried
on excellently in the place of
the deceased Rockne, and had
the latter been alive to direct
his team last Saturday, the
same thing might well have
haDDened
The Washington times., 1931-11-23


AS the game was almost
over and with the Ramblers
leading by a point, Johnny
Baker applied his expert toe
to the inflated oval in behalf
of the CalifornianS and the
ball sailed between the posts
for the three points that sent
Notre Dame down to her first
defeat in three seasons.
The football world viii not

that game twixt the Irish and
Trojans, because it constitutes

The forward passing Of Oliver

be hard to supplant.
That these players will be Civ
ing their best in order to register
over formidable Loyola con-
tingent and at the same time to
promote their teams winning

GUS. To jolt Loyola, however, they
must uncover just about their

DR.. A. L. Gustetter acted as toast
master and extended to Mr.. Peral-

Prof. Brown recommends that the
United States forgive war debts
owing this country, if the debtor
nations cut down their appropria-
tions for military purposes.
Brown explained the steps Lead
ing up to the moratorium. The pre-
sent situation in Germany and the
moratorium are an aftermath OF
the World War, he said. He sketch
ed the historical background and
told Of the Dawes and Young plans
and said that under the Young Plan
payments tc be made by Germany
are to continue until 1888 and that
the whole situation depends upon
Germany's ability to pay. The Hoov-
er moratorium, he explained, pro-
poses that debts to all countries be
postponed for one year and said
that the moratorium has not worked
out yet.
France is fully able to help Germ

winter.
I'VE anticipate that hundreds and
hundreds of persons will make No

into Mexico next winter, said Mr.
Franklin, who added that Mexico
is most beautiful, most educational
and a trip to that country is most
interesting. IT. is far more interest
