Americas two outstanding sys-,

Easier to Master
Players minus the natural abil-
ity of Glass AAA-1 gridders find
a system such as the old Mis-
souri, Valley half-punt formation
much easier to master. The
finesse required by both Rockne
and Warner systems is not re-
quired by the half-punt. The
system taught by Major Frank
Cavanaugh. and now carried on
by "Hiker" JOY. at CansiuS Col
lege, is much the same as the
half punt, in that it more quickly
and more efficaciously abSorbs
the mill-run of grid player than
does either the Warner or the
Rockne.
The Rockne system always has
required maximum of leadership
and, above all else, a cleveF
field general. Hunk" Anderson's
only weak spot this year was at
the quarterback position. II
Hunk" had had Carideo or 8
Stuhldreher, Notre Dame would
have come through as usual.
There is no reason to believe thai
Elmer Layden will be able to
escape the necessity of a great
quarterback at Notre Dame. =
Caliber of Foes
The ca]iber of opponents taken
on each succeeding year by Notre
Dame precludes possibilities OF
winning consistently without a
great quarterback. Given the
great quarterback, Notre Dame
will win nine times for each time
it loses, for Notre Dame, like
Southern California and MiChf
gan, has AAA-1 grid material
year in and year out and should
rank at the top or close to the
top at all times along with South"
ern California and Michigan,
Stanford and California, and q
few others.
Elmer Layden, who romped to
national fame as one of the IA
nous -Four Horsemen" of Notre
Dame a decade ago, achieved an
enviable coaching record at Du-
quesne University this year, win
ming eight and losing only one,
the latter to Pittsburgh. :
Under the old master, Rock"
Layden at 100 pounds developed
into one of the fastest and hard
est hitting fullbackS of modern
grid history. He smashed Amer.
ica's best lines with reckless abar1.
don and was extraordinarily ef.
fective as a blocker.
Bowl Over Big Men
Regularly he bowled over men
who outweighed him 40 and so
pounds, his great heart carrying
him when his body failed. A
more courageous player than FL"
mer Layden never lived. Smart,
alert. aggressive and always
thinking, Layden carved for him.
self in football place that
never will be forgotten by those
fortunate enough to have seen
him in action.
Layden will enjoy the conf.
dence of Notre Dame men, for
there never has been a Notre
Dame man who commanded
more respect than Elmer. He is
the type that has brought and
always will bring to Notre Dame
that sort of satisfaction which
accrues to college when one Of
it's sons conducts himself at all
times as a gentleman.

however. to approval by the budget
director.
Senator King believes it Is essential
that the new bridge be begun as soon as
possible after the question Of design and
type Of structure has been settled. The
Senator expressed the opinion that as
soon as an agreements is reached on
the design funds will be made available.
He said the Fine Arts Commission plans
to give consideration Friday to the
question Of design and type of bridge.
The appropriation act requires the
Commissioners and the Fine Arts Group
to restudy the design as the result OF
q difference of opinion which has de-
veloped as to whether the bridge should
be a steel span or masonry structure,
similar to the Connecticut avenue
bridge.
Senator King also conferred further
with Budget Bureau officials today re-
garding his recent recommendation
that the park maintenance and recrea-
tional work of the ONCE Of Public
Buildings and Public Parks be trans
ferred to the District Government in
stead of the Interior Department. The
Senator indicated he is hopeful that
the order transferring these activities
from the Interior Department would
be postponed long enough to make
possible further study Of his suggestion.
