 South Bend, Indiano, September "A. = Crying towels are sopping wet in the dressing rooms under the Notre Dame football plant hard by the Golden Dome.
 "Ii isn't the material, it's the in- experience" says Elmer Layden and his assistants.
 There is some Justification for the gloom that spreads over the color Iul campus here, for the Irish did lose some brilliant stars. But with 102 husky stalwartS running around loose on the striped sod, full of typi- cal Notre Dame spirit, even the most Inexperienced observer gets the ldea, that at least therell be II green-clad warriors present for the saturday afternoon affairs
 Viewing the situation from I.ay- dens point of view, no one can laugh off the loss of 10 letterner. especially when they are of the cali- Der of Wayne Millner and Marty Peters, ends; Dick Pferrerle. John Michuta, and Ken Stilley, tackles: Fred Solari and Henry Pojman. cen. ters; Wally Fromhart, Frank Ga,ll. and George Moriarty, quarterbacks: i: Bill Shakespeare, Andy Pilney, Mike Layden. and Tony Mazziotti, halves. and Fred Carideo and Don Elser, fullbacks.
 Wanted: A Field General
 Notre Dame needs field general. It has had some remarkable signal- callers, Gus Dorais, Harry Stuhl- dreher, and Frank Carideo among them. Last years array was ably piloted by Fromhart, in particular, and Gaul and Moriarty. It went through a typical South Bend sched- ule with only one defeat and one tie.
 Not one of the running 16 letter. men is a quarterback. Only three of the 30 reservists of 1885 have had any experience in barking signals, and little is known of the capabili- ties of Ernio Arboit, Bill Bruno, CT Bernie Megin.
 So desperate is the lean Layden that he has been trying out Joe Ruetz, former guard, at quarter, and that veteran may orist Andy Pupils 8 Chicago youngster who now s listed as first stringer.
 Layden is experimenting with g combination which has Bob Wilke at left half, Vic Wojcihovcki at right and Steve Miller at full. None oi these three gives the backfield q triple-threater.
 Joe O'Neill, left end may be called back to do the bunting.
 Wojcihovski is quite a leather lugger, and is the logical successor to Shakespeare as a passer. The big Rumanian boy tossed the win. ming pass to Shakespeare in the Wis. consin game last autumn.
 Wilke is the only left half with 6 monogram. The Hamilton, Ohio senior is an excellent runner, but there his capabilities stop, and Lay. den is fearful that his 163 pound. won't bear the brunt of a stiff sched. ule. However, Bob may be another Layden, who played plenty of full. back with less poundage than Wilkt carries on his frame.
 Gap at Center Is Wide
 Miller showed flashes of brilliancl last season. He made several lonl runs in the Ohio State game aftel Carideo was injured in the second quarter. He carried on the frs Irish touchdown. However, he ism shaping up any too well, and Larr! Danbom, who spent the summe with Steve at Rock Island. H., l pressing him for the job.
 The big problem in the line is tn replacement of Solari and Pojman Not major returning letterman 1 a center, and only three of the re serves are pivot men. Johnny Foge is now rated the first stringer. H was fourth last year, but this seasol has moved up ahead of Fred Nun dee, third in line in '35, and is show ing well. Mundee will keep hin stepping.
 Conditions along the rest of tn line aren't too sorrowful. Ends ar well fortified with O,Ntill and Jo Zwers; tackles are satisfactory, wit Art Cronin, Frank Kopczak, and Bil Steinkemper, '35 lettermen, return ing; and at the guard position there is a wealth of good materia headed by the watch charm" cap tain. Bill smith. who was out las year with a kidney ailment.
