TINE meeting of the Notre Dame
and Southern California lines
Saturday at Los Angeles will be
the warmest battle of forward
walls foot ball has known this Fall.
In the first place, the exhibition of
tackle play will be the most effective
seen all season. Notre Dame offers
Krause, 218, and Kurth, 21O, both well
over feet, both fast and aggressive.
Southern California presents Smith,
6 feet 4, weighing 225 pounds, and
Brown, over 200. This Western pair is
also fast and alert and hard to box or
handle.
Ends and backs assigned to take
charge of these four tackles will have
one of the busiest afternoons Of many
years.
The total weight of this quartet is
close to 900 pounds, and 1t is all active
weight. All four have been named
over and over on all-star selections,
where the general rating has been close.
But these big tackles are not the en-
tire line story. Notre Dame has star
guard in Harris, and Southern Cali
fornia has an even better guard in
Rosenberg. Southern California also
has one Of the best ends in the country
in Palmer.
The Notre Dame line that ground the
Army down will be up against q line
lust as big and just as fast on Satur-
day-a line every bit as good from enc
to end. This means both offenses Will
have a hard time making much head
way unless the passing game breaks
loose.

girl athlete, had innumerable

CLERKS SECRETARY
LAUDS POSTAL BILL
Thomas F. Flaherty Says House
Measure Will Benefit at Least
5000 Workers.

Legislation requiring postal vacancies
to be filled. enacted by the House yes
terday was praised last night by
Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer
of the National Federation of Post
ONCE Clerks. He said 5000 workers
would benefit by it.
According to Mr.. Flaherty, there are
approximately 25,000 postal substitutes
in service, mostly in first and second
class post offices, and many are now re-
quired to work as substitutes, although
regularly employed. The legislation is
intended to correct this situation.
IF properly administered, this legisla-
ton will result in filling at least 900
vacancies that have been permitted to
accrue in the postal service" said Mr..
Flaherty. 1T will put an end to the
practice of placing substitute at a
rate of 65 cents an hour into a lob that
should be filled by regular employe at
a higher rate of compensation.
owing to a falling off in postal
revenues and the lengthening of the
tours OF regular clerks to cover a TO-
hour period, and other economy prac-
tices Of the Post Office Department. the
substitutes have been deprived of work
opportunities and many of them have
been forced into the unemployed army. y
