was in his ability to pick men, to In
spire men, to train men. He was also
a genius in the matter OF publicity, per-
sonal salesmanship. or call 1t what you
will. But that angle has no place IN
this yarn except as it aided him in
training and working up his players, !.
The point I am making Is that
Rockne, using the two wing back sys-
tenn or any other offensive system,
would have been just as successful. His
system had nothing to do with his
success. He used it because he liked
the looks Of it, because he had been
trained in a shifting attack when he
was a player. 1t was handy, adequate.
It had no more faults than any other
system and you can get good arguments
that it hasn't as many virtues as some
others.
The system was a success because
Rockne had the knack Of teaching the
best material in the country, usually,
the knack of charging, blocking, run
ming interference, taking advantage OF
the other fellows mistakes. And now
that Notre Dame Is being stopped the
system is being raped.
It does not follow that the system Is
no longer good. A few teams around
the country, notably Fordham, still
manage to win their share Of ball
games with it. Because the players on
those teams are blockers, chargers,
trained foot ballers giving their best all
the time.
TUE Whats happened to Notre
Dame?" question cannot be an
swered by "I1ae Notre Dame sys-
tenn has been solved" Rather. it would
be wise. to look at the complexion OF
the Notre Dame teams last season and
this. Doing so, we find q certain lacka-
daisical aura surrounding them which
can mean but one thing-Some OF the
boys are just out there going through
the motions. Why this should be can
be answered your way or mine.
We will also find the one or two
Spark Plugs" the individuals who fired
up Rocknes team. who kept the other
boys on their toes. who were emotional,
keen, nimble- -witted, missing. Notre
Dame players today seem picked for
their size, their physical attributes.
These attributes can be met by their
like, can be defeated.
Those Spark Plugs" Of Rocks were
never licked, never downed. They rode
their pals in the huddle, they led and
showed them to super efforts. And
those leaders, themselves inspired by the
Incompatible inspirer, Knute Rockne,
are now missing. That Is, at least, one
answer to, Whats the matter with
Notre Dame?"

Anderson Offers No Alibi.

THE two-year head coaching regime
i of Hearty (Hunk) Anderson has
been under increasing fire never
theless. Probably it was inevitable that
any man succeeding Rockne would be
subjected to criticism and become, in a
sense, the victim of reaction. Foot ball
defeats, including two straight at the
hands of Carnegie Tech and Pitts
burgh, have not strengthened Hunks

Nders and the downtown coaches as
ISOLATION of South Bend, where this
foot ball depression is felt.
Anderson, whatever obstacles he may
be struggling against. offers no alibis,
nor does Jesse Harper, the director Of
athletics now. Harper is the man who
first put Notre Dame on the foot ball
map, subsequently developing Rockne,
retiring to his Kansas cattle ranch and
then returning In 1881 to take over the
helm of an athletic ship left suddenly
adrift by Rocks death.
N would be less than frank II I did
not say we want to win and turn out
the best foot ball team we can produce" "
says Harper. "At the same time we
know how to take defeat gracefully and
sustain or develop the foot ball rela-
tionships that mean so much to Notre
Dame, from coast to coast. AS long
as Anderson is coaching the team, he
has 100 per cent support from me and
the entire university. We are not
paniclxy."

" prominence. or perhaps

be better, some of the boys are loudly
proclaiming "the day Of the 'Rockne'
system Is done. The Notre Dame stuff
Is stopped"
The inference behind this would seem
to be that, when Rockne was having
his best ball clubs, he was using some
thing which was new, puzzling and un-
stoppable because the other fellow did
not know what Notre Dame teams
were doing.
Now that Kansas, Indiana and Car

teams have finally solved the riddle.
All of which, if may be excused,
Is so much hooey. Dead sea apples
which, when squeezed, go pffft! Ana
that's that. Nothing to them.
In the first place few have always
argued that Knute Rockne was given
too much credit in some directions ana
not enough in others. Rockne was no
master thinker, no magician who pulled
ball games out Of the hat, who pro-
duced a system which was unstop-

- OUTH BEND, Ind, October
- 30.-There is no crepe on
y the golden dome at Notre
Dame that reflects the rays
of an Indian Summer sun above
the colorful Autumn foliage of the
university campus.
The leaves have been falling,
the foot ball team has lost two
straight games without so much
as scoring a point and Notre
Danes gridiron fortunes, for the
time being, are at the lowest ebb
they have known in many a har-
vest moon, but truth compels the
observation that the effects ap-
pear less serious to those within
than to host OF others outside
the university.
Whatever may be done about it, after
the conclusion of the 1888 season, Notre
Dame still has its head up on the grid
iron and the campus, its loyalty to the
team undiminished by the shock of q
losing "streak," and the feeling that
something yet may be pulled out of the
current wreck.
In short, the proof is ut hand that
Notre Dame can take it."
What's wrong with this picture?
What's happened since the sudden tragic
death Of Knute Kenneth Rockne in an
airplane disaster at Bazaar, Kans., in
1881 left Notre Dame struggling to find
its bearings and q new leader? What

M ADIsON, Wis, October 80.
M Practically all the Mid
l 4 west foot ball favorites
came through in good
shape Saturday. There were no
distinct upsets in this part Of
the country.
The Minnesota-Iowa game was about
as expected, Minnesota being much too
strong for the Iowans. The Gopher
team has no distinct weakness as it Is
uniformly strong in every position, and
seems to be improving with every game.
I did not feel that Iowa was strong
enough defensively to beat Minnesota,
although from an offensive standpoint
the team has looked good in every
game.
It must be remembered Iowa really
has only two good offensive backs,
Crayne and Laws. While this doesn't t
matter so much against weaker teams,
1t makes marked difference up
against team equal in man power.
Minnesota's ends are far superior to
Iowa's and its backheld much more
versatile and Just as powerful. AT pres
ent, II looks very much as II the
Minnesota Michigan game will decide
the Conference championship.
The Chicago Michigan game was
Just another game for Michigan. Chi
cago did not have the stuff to give
Michigan a tough battle. I doubt II
there is a team in the country with a
running attack that has enough punch
to bother the Michigan team. Chi
cago's backfleld Is strong, but hasn't
had the support from it line up to now.
