SPIRIT Of ROCKNE
ERA FIRES TEAM
Notre Dame Following Now
Satisfied Layden Has
Restored Prestige.
BY ALAN GOULD.

n YEW YORK, November 4.-FOr
the first time in five years
" the fighting Irish Of Notre
a Dame are back in foot ball
power, so much so that they can look
| forward today with some confidence
/ to the prospect Of an unbeaten season
/ and possible bid to the Rose Bowl
/ game.
! No matter what happens during the
/ rest OF the season. however. Notre
Danes national following is satisfied
now that the coaching regime of
Elmer The Silent Laden. in its sec
ond year, has produced the results
/ they have been looking for ever since
knute Rockne died at the height OF
power.
Saturdays thrilling 1873 victory
over mighty Ohio State was the
q clincher in Notre Danes comeback
under Layden. The IRISH have put
on many great finish. but none more
| electrifying or more dramatic than
the drive that finally oyerhauied Ohio
State with only 10 seconds to go.

THE possible loss Of Andy Pilnev,

again it may only mean the chance
for some other hidden star or bench-

Notre Dame has no captain this
year. The player elected to LEADER
ship at the end of the 1884 season,
Joe Sullivan, died last March. Law
den has purpcsely avoided playing on
the emotions Of his squad, on this
account.
Between the halves Saturday the
one-time "hOrseman" simply told his
players they had given away" two
touchdOwns on intercepted passes.
and that it was up to them to go out
and get them back.
Best Record Since 1880.
THEY not only got them both back,
but they made il three. with a
passing attack that Ohio State could
not check.
Notre Danes record Of six straight
victories this season is the best since
Rockne closed his coaching career
| with two undefeated teams in
192e-3o.
Thereafter the course OF Notre
Dame foot ball zigzagged until 1888
and the end of Hunk Anderson's ten
ure as head coach. That year the
Ramblers lost five out of eight games.
They were shut out four times in suc-
ceSsion.
( In the subsequent upheaval and re-
organization. Layden. star fullback
under Rockne in the -Four Horse
men" period, was called from his
coaching job at Duquesne TO assume
athletic leadership.
| Last year Layden's first team won
six and lost to Texas, Pittsburgh and
Navy.
Victories in succession this year
over Pittsburgh. Navy and Ohio

about the revival of the spirit Of

many decisive blocks that helped both

long and gallant foot ball history. the

how it all happened.
How" they ask, could team that

suddenly turn on its winning oppo-

we'll have been "A points If it hadn't
been for a goal-line tumble that cost
over so yards?"
No one can slip In more than
part of the answer to the sud-
den turn that took place.
You can start with Andy Pilney,
who gave an exhibition that not even
the immortal George Gipp possibly
could have surpassed. He was the
lad in blue and gold who ran through

fense that first was serenely over
confident, then worried, and then,
through the closing stages, in COM
plete panicky rout.

pened to Ohio State?
Part of the answer might be in
squad so large that few of its lineup
had been brought along to November
form-too many part-time entries not
we'll enough seasoned for such final
Notre Dame assault.
Another part might be in retaining
a seven-man line on defense to bottle
up Pilney, Layden and others-espe-

It was this combination, mixed with
the panicky mental state which sud-

the story.
