Notre Danes raiders of the gridiron
are ready to answer the challenge of
the TrojanS from Southern Califor-
mia.
Fired to a e high pitch and
loaded with enough scoring dynamite
to blow the average college eleven in
to the clouds, the big football army
from South Bend could see nothing
but a victorious battle against the
western invaders tomorrow.
At no time this year has the Notre
Dame squad groomed itself so grimly
and seriously as it has for its famous
rival from the west. In its final
workout, one which lasted almost
four hours last night, each regular
and reserve hustled as never before

Despite the injuries to Melinko-

looked better than any time this
year." he remarked. They realize
at last that we have a tough assign

right mood to play real football. May
be we'll lose but Southern California
will know it has been in a football

Lukats Is Injured
Except for the three injured stars
and Nick Lukats, who joined the in
jured fullback list at the start Of the
practice season. every regular was in

a possibility shat Melinkovich might
get into the game for a time.

game.
All roads for the football minded
led to South Bend Friday and the
town was all decked out and ready
for the crowd. Tickets were selling
so briskly that only 5000 Of the SIS 900
paSteboards were left and a sell-out
crowd, the first for the new Notre
Dame brick stadium, seemed certain.
While Southern California and
Notre Dame are monopolizing the at

dom, Big Ten teams will tangle on
five fronts.
Expect Large Crowd
The battle between the TrojarlS and
the Irish is expected to attract a ca
pacity crowd of $1,000, probably the
biggest crowd of the day in the west,
but the invasion Of Michigan by Min
nesota in the annual struggle for the

The results Of the Big Ten battles
may have a very definite effect on
| the attendances at the charity games
lnext Saturday. Should Michigan
lose to Minnesota, the Wolverine
Wisconsin charity contest probably
would not do the amount Of business
expected. The same would be true il
Chicago should come along with an
other upset and defeat Wisconsin.
Illinois will meet Ohio State at Co.
lumbus, with little hope Of accom-
plishing anything more than q des-
perate stand. An upset victory for
Illinois, and, it would be q huge up
set, would do the Minnesota Ohio
charity game no good. Z.
Northwestern, apparently back in
form after its close call with Indiana,

out its strongest force against 1ndi-
