letics at Notre Dame University.
This information is submitted

has been selected as the successor
to Hunk Anderson.
While the story that Layden had
been named the new, head coach at
Notre Dame has been generally ac-
cepted, several people close to the
inside of affairs at the South Bend
School informed the writer that Father
Mulcaire of the Notre Dame faculty
now was in California negotiating with
Smith, who for the past several years
has been foot ball coach and athletic
director at Santa Clara University.
1t was further stated that announce
ment of Smiths appointment to the
dual position at Notre Dame would be
forthcoming Is soon as the former Irish
guard had signified his willingness to
accept the difficult task.
Smith has made a great reputation
on the Pacific Coast and was strongly
considered for the position as head

School last Winter and he is we'll liked

UNOFFICIAL announcement that
Layden, one of the famous four
horsemen. was to succeed Hunk
Anderson was taken with some doubt
by foot ball people who clogged the
hotel lobby during the Western Con-
ference meetings yesterday. While no
complaint was to be had with Layden,
general opinion was that Notre Dame
would want more seasoned man for
the position.
Smith played at Notre Dame in 1920
and since then has coached at Gonzaga
College. Seattle, Wash, and Santa
Clara. Numerous names we're mentioned
in connection with the position, but
those on the inside declare an offer has
been made to Smith.
It was further stated that if Smith
declined to return to his Alma Mater,
an effort would be made to bring Noble
Kizer. present director of athletics and
foot ball coach at Purdue, to Notre
Dame.
Kizer's name has been prominently
mentioned for the job ever since it
became apparent that Anderson was
slipping at Notre Dame. Kizer has
twice told me he would not consider
the Notre Dame job if it were offered
him. He has an ideal position at
Purdue, where an annual champion Is
not demanded by the student body or
alumni.
Kizer is not high-salaried man but
Purdue will raise his pay in order to
keep him. Kizer, of course, might be
induced to accept the Notre Dame job
II It were offered him. but late yester-
day he still was strong in his determi-
nation to remain at Purdue.
Job for Anderson.
TT ALSO is said that Anderson would
be offered the chance to remain at
Notre Dame in the capacity of line
coach If he wished to stay on the South
Bend campus.
Anderson did not make his customary
appearance at the Western Conference
meeting and Jesse Harper also was abb
sent.
At the Western Conference meeting
It was rumored that E. c. Hayes Of In
diana soon would resign as foot ball
coach of the Hoosier team but would
remain at the school as track coach.
Hayes was made foot ball coach at In
diana against his will and took the posi-
ton only to help out in an emergency.
He Is rated as one of the best track
coaches in the country and will con-
tinue in that position. The new In
diana foot bah coach will not be named
for some time
An announcement of Sam Willaman's
dismissal as coach at Ohio State Is ex-
pected to come some time early next
week after meeting of the athletic
board. The Lantern, Ohio State stu
dent paper, has demanded Willaman
be fired and it is believed the Buck
eyes will hire one Of the leading coaches

ANSARE FEARFUL
TEAM WON'T LAST
Little Has System All His
WWn, Which Is Sort Of
a Grid MeIange.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports writer.


n IEw YORK, December "a
M speedy, versatile attack,
/ y directed by one of the
smartest field generals In
the land, and a sturdy defense
are the hallmarks Of Lou Little's
Columbia University Lions. chosen
to represent the East against
Stanford in the Rose Bowl on
New Year day.
Not q great eleven In the strictest
sense Of the word, the scholarly Lions,
nevertheless, have stamped themselves
through trying schedule as a fighting,
cohesive unit that can be counted upon
to give any opponent a battle as long
as its reserves hold out.
Their one real weakness, Eastern
critics believe, lies in the shortage OF
high-class substitutes Little's starting
lineup consists of IL real foot bail
players. They make up smooth, styl-
ish team That is a treat to watch. But
when one of them goes out-any one
the Lions are just mite less effective
Where Worry Lies.
IF THEY were certain that the Morn
tngside Heights crew could face
Stanford for four full quarters with
only about two substitutions. Eastern
fans would be willing to back them with
at least a few of the family jewels.
But the possibility it will be warm at
Pasadena on New Year afternoon, that
the battering of Stanford's big team and
soaring sun might combine to send
the Lion regulars on frequent trips to
the bench to rest and reflect, make the
homefolks none too sanguine.
The dearth of capable reserves at a
school with such a vast enrolment as
Columbia might seem strange. The
explanation lies In the fact that the
foot ball squad is drawn from the COM
paratively small enrolment of under
graduates in Columbia College.
Little to Work With.
GONE idea of the difficulties sur
mounted by Coach Little in building
teams that year after year rank
with the strongest in the East may be
gathered from the fact that Columbias
freshmen elevens have won only one
game in the last three seasons. If Lou
constructs one really strong team out of
that sort of material he's doing all right
for himself. If he has good reserve
strength it's pure velvet.
In the four years Little has been
coaching at the school the Lions show
a record of 26 victories against Z de-
feats and 2 ties. They have lost only
one game in each of the last three sea-
sons. Princeton's powerful young team
spoiled an otherwise perfect record for
this season with a 20-to-0 defeat back
in October. The Lions have claimed
ever since that it was their of day"
that the Tigers couldn't do 1t again to
save their lives. and a majority of the
sections experts have been inclined to
agree.

In the concluding game of the
season, attendance will be more sus-
tanned. Under the old scheme of sched-
ule making, it frequently happened that
championship eleven would be obliged
to meet one Of the weaker members of
the conference and spectator interest
in the contest would be very slight.
Whereas If traditional rivals were
brought together annually In closing
games. they still would be an attraction
Michigan and Ohio State usually can
be counted upon to be in the running
for the Big Ten championship every
season. Had those teams met in the
final game of the 1888 season each
would have been unbeaten and the con-
test would have been for the confer
ence title. The same thing would have
happened frequently in the past, SO both
universities are eager to have their game
set for the closing date
Outside OF revamping the schedules
for 1885, discussing economies and other
routine matters there will be little to
enliven the Big Ten meeting. All but
three OF the conference members showed
an increase in foot ball attendance and
were well satisfied with results of the
