The effect of psychology, or mental
attitude on the result never was better
illustrated than in the Notre Dame
Army clash.
In the first half, Army had the ap-

or four touchdowns. The Cadets were
opportunists, as are all winning combi-
nations. and turned two mistakes by
Notre Dame into touchdowns. After

its first touchdown. The second came

DITTSBURGH, December A
- The belief continues to per-
sist among Eastern foot ball
experts that the Panthers of
Pitt would be the best possible East
ern opponent for Stanford in the
Rose Bowl game, but there is a
growing conviction that Pitt will
not be invited to the fray.
The difficulty lies, say these OBJ
servers, in the fact that Pitt has
lost all three of its Rose Bowl en-
counters-in 1923, 1880 and 1892
and perhaps is not the drawing card
that an Eastern invader should be;

vF THE Army-Notre Dame game
Saturday had been made into a
foot ball motion picture, no au-

story or credited the plot with any
logical possibility.
Here on one side was an unbeaten
Army team with one Of the great rec

There on the other side vas Notre

game after game, shut out in six OF its

With 10000 people looking on, Notre

is muffed across the line, with
no Army defender anywhere near.
Two other simple passes are also
muffed or dropped in a mechanical
breakdown.
Notre Dame fumbles the Army into

later a forward pass interception deep
in Notre Dame territory gives the
Army its second striking chance over
short marching routes. And each time

margin over the firing Cadets. If the

seemingly impossible by spotting q

last year. Their first under the coach

mores and material available from this
years undefeated freshman squad, Girls

reckoned as formidable Eastern powers
for the next four years at least.
Notre Dame gave foot ball two terrific
joltS. The first came when the Ramblers
scored only 10 points in their first eight
games, of which they lost five, won two
and tied one. The second came on
Saturday when they staged rousing

DASADENA, Calf, December
r. 4.-The foot ball world may
l. learn today which one of
half a dozen of the coun-
try's gridiron elevens will be in
vited to meet Stanford in the
Rose Bowl here New Year day.
Al Masters, graduate manager
OF Stanford University, was ex-
pected to make the announce
ment if negotiations started last
week were brought to successful
conclusion.
There was no intimation from either
Stanford or the Rose Tournament
Committee which team would get the
call, although it was learned Saturday
night that Hal C. Reynolds, member Of
the Rose Tournament Foot Ball Com
mittee, was in New York.
It was presumed he had been hand
ling the negotiations there for STAN
ford. This would mean any one of
several elevens, including Army, de-
feated Saturday by Notre Dame; Prince
ton, which Stanford followers hoped
might be ready to change its mind and
accept after all, or possibly Columbia,
beaten only by Princeton
whether this indicated Nebraska, VIC
tor over Oregon State by a decisive
score, but beaten by Pittsburgh, and
Michigan, tied by Minnesota, were out
OF the running, was hard to determine.
Coach Dana X. Bible Of Nebraska was
in New York.
Army Still Prospect.
INOFFICIALLY, it was reported
here there still was a chance of
getting Princeton; that Army
would be liked despite its defeat; that
Michigan might be had if properly ap-
preached; that Nebraska and Co1un1-
bia were being considered should the
other negotiations fall through, and
that Duke was definitely out of the pic
ture since its defeat by Georgia Tech.
1t was reported last night Columbia
would furnish Stanfords opposition.
This could not be confirmed, and later
DR.. Howard S. Elliott, Columbia ath-
| letics director, denied Columbia had

regarded as eliminating Columbia as
