TJEAD COACH ANDY KERR and
II Capt Winnie Anderson contrib
uted some important master
mnding to the touchdown play that
beat New York University last week.
Before the game, Kerr called the off,
cials aside, diagrammed play and
said:
We may use this during the game.
There's nothing illegal about it, but the
man who first carries the ball might
look as if he's being tackled. Don't
blow the whistle too fast"
The teams battled scoreleSsly through
the first period and toward the close
of the second Anderson suddenly
turned to the head linesman and asked:
How much time left?'
I'll have to take time out to find
out if you want me to-" the l!nesman
replied

Time was called and it was found

Under the rules the clock did not start
working again until the ball was
snapped. Charley Soleau. Colgate quar-
terback called for Kerr's special play

Fritts and ran for the only touchdown
of the game.
The most disastrous start in recent
Notre Dame history directs attention
to the fact that the Rockne system
still is producing winning results else
where notably at Fordham. Duquesne,
Yale. Holy Cross, Alabama, Georgia and
Purdue.
