Notre Dame, Ind April 12-- Spring football practice will end four weeks from today, it was an- nounced this afternoon by Elmer +. Layden, director of athletics and
 head footbal coach.
 Practice has been interrupted by the death of Capt-elect Joseph Sullivan and by unfavorable -weath CT conditions. A week will be lost during Easter vacation, and the total actual time spent in spring drills will not run over five weeks. Although numerical losses from the 1894 team are comparatively light, the men lost, particularly the regulars, will be hard to re- place, Layden said. They include: Capt-elect Joe Sullivan, whose passing has put a damper on the spirits of the squad as we'll as de-
 priving the team of it's best tackle.
 Layden has stated that he has no hopes of replacing Sullivan as a
 player. leader, or a friend. Capt Dominic Vairo, all-Ameri-
 can mention right end, second
 choice on many of the all-star selections.
 Jack Robinson, all-American center, the bulwark of the 1884
 defense, and a steadying influence on the rest of the team: George Melinkovich, right half back, who led the team in total points scored, and in total and | average yards from scrimmage, the | first right halfback in a quarter of
 a century or more to turn the trick. Rocco Schilalli, iron man guard,
 who put in more minutes of play | than any other man on the squad. SO-SO Squad Twenty-three others, many of
 them monogram winners, will be ! graduated. Twenty-two lettermen
 are returning, none of whom did
 anything remarkable during the | past season.
 The following lettermen will
 form the nucleus of his team: Ends-Wayne Miller, Marty Pe- ters, Matt Thornes.
 Tackles-John Michuta, Ken
 Stilley, Harry Becker, Dick Pfef-
 ferle and Bill Steinkemper. Guards-Bill Smith, John Lau-
 tor, Augusct Church. Centers-Fred Solari, Henry Pejman.
 2,l is the heaviest Ohio State has And Pilney, Mike Leyden, Tony
 Mazziotti.
 Fullbacks-Don Elser, Fred Car
 idoe, Steve Miller.
 All but Steinkemper and Lauter
 will be seniors next fall. Layden
 is, therefore, expecting little from 1885 junior class. Since very few
 sophomores have ever distinguished themselves at Notre Dame, he is
 not counting much on the present freshmen crop, which is only fair
 at best.
 Tn Their Way The following squad members,
 in addition to those already men, toned, will be lost by graduation:
 Dan Hanley, Paul Schronker, Dick
 Shamla, Fred Weidnor, Art Muel-
 Ter, Bud Bonar, Eddie Caldwell, Sturla Canale. Hal Quinlan, Irwin Davis, Carl Essof, Matt Ronzono,
 John Hoban, George Lynch, Ber- nie O'Brien, Pat Fisher, Al Cos
