SOS, 900, from which $1,000 was Melted
for charity.
Hutton asserted he had advanced
the coach $1,000 to bring his Notfe
Dame all-stars to the coast and he
wanted an accounting.
Rockne, said he had his student
manager send Hutton q statement
some time ago that all-star's expenses
came to $9,058.
Informed what Rockne had said,
Hutton replied: "Rockne agreed to q
charity game for Elkdom, but evf-
IDENTIFY he worked It out On the theory
that charity begins at home. The
only answer I ever got from the foot
ball coach was that the expenses
amounted to 5000 and included rail-
road fares, taxicabs, meals and 20
forth. Other than that he has failed
to make an accounting"
Rockne arrived here from Phoenix.

take the matter up with the board Of

Rockne retaliated by saying Ill Of
the sum was used in bringing the
team to Los Angeles for the game.

dollars Of his own money went into
the business Of making the game q
success.
Hutton asserted that in addition to
the $1,000 advanced to Rockne, $500
was paid Hunk" Anderson, coach in
charge, when the Rockne men ar
rived, while still another $500 was
necessary to bring Joe Sayoldi from
Chicago to perform.
Instead of 20 Notre Dame players,

game, Hutton said.
Rockne said everything was car

Every penny Of the expense money

for charity. and I'm glad I spent Il.
Jumping Joe went professional DUR

First, the new ball rolls between Is

Second, on iron shots to the green
more accuracy may be obtained due
