 Already 'Tn"
 Marchy Schwartz, Notre. Dame great left halfback. will be one of them unless he does everything wrong against U. s. c. and Army.
 In addition to Schwartz. Notre Dame's greatest players are Joe Kurth. right tackle, Captain Tom my Yarr, center, Ed Krause, left tackle and Frank (Nordy) Hoff- man, right guard.
 Southern California's outstand- ing players are Orville Mowler. quarterback. Erny Pinckert, right halfback, Johnny Baker, left guard. and Captain Stanley Will Hanson, center.
 Man for Man
 The battle between Yarr and Williamson, the two captains and rival centers, promises to be one of the greatest individual duels of the football season.
 Oddly enough, each is 22, weighs 197 pounds, an dis playing his last season of college football. Williamson is 6 feet, inch in hegiht. two inches taller than Yarr.
 The battle of the guards brings together Baker, a 185-pound senior against Hoffman, 204-pound junior who never had on foot ball suit until last season.
 Supcrlativc.
 Hoffman is rated by many as the greatest iineman on the Notre Dame team. Dick Hanley, North western coach, says Hoffman. on his form against the Wildcats, Is superior to Metzger and Cannon, Notre Dame's great guards of the past two years. \
 Notre Dnme's two tackles, Kurth and Krause, are running nip and tuck for all-America honors. Krause was good enough to rele- gate Culver, last years regular. to the second team and then hold his job. Kurth is one of the most under-rated players on the Notre Dame team.
