Spartans Oppose Sweetwater Tonit
Bench Warming

Post Press Sports Editor

curate way to rate the nations foot
ball teams.
Sectional football ratings can be
determined to a certain extent,
that is by the sports followers in
that vicinity. But even those rat
ings are not always accurate.
For instance one expert. who
even takes the weights of players
into consideration in rating the
national football teams, listed Ore
gon University as the weakest team
in the coast conference. The weak
est team" has since defeated STAN
ford and tied University of South
ern California.
So the best thing to do is to find
an expert that rates your favorite
team as the best. and stick by him
until he puts another team at the
top of the list.

1899 home season against Herbert

A tough football schedule is as
much a by-word at Notre Dame
University as block and tackle"
and when a Notre Dame team goes
through its scheule undefeated,
that is why the Irish are seriously
considered as national champions.
Many football teams in the ma
ton, however, line up schedules
which are just as tough as that Of
Notre Dame on paper, that is. But
the Irish schedule differs in this
respect:
Every team on the Notre Dame
schedule points for the Notre Dame
game, simply because a victory
over the Irish is likened TO a vic
tory over the New York Yankees
in baseball.
Take the Irish in their first game
of the season. The opposition was
furnished by Purdue University.
Purdue prepared for that game
by scouting the irish all during the
1888 season. Purdue pointed for
the Irish, but dropped a 80 decis-
ion.
Last week Notre Dame played
a Georgia Tech team which had
prepared for Notre Dame from the
opening practice. But the Irish
smashed Tech, 17-14
Saturday the Irish face Southern
Methodist's great football team, a
team which tied the Oklahoma
Sooners. and which outgained the
Cklahomans in tieing. Oklahoma,
you should remember, defeated
Northwestern 23-0 last week.
Add those statistics to the fact
Southern Methodist is pointing for
the Notre Dame game. SMU reali-
yes what a victory over Notre Dame
would add to the Mustang prestige,
record and National ranking.

Don't take the football ratings
systems, as doped by such so-called
experts as Deke Houlgate, DR.. Ba-

seriously because there is no ac-

Today's Sports Parade

es last week indicated Notre Dame
may have plenty of trouble halting
the tosses of Preston Johnston and
Ray Mallouf, SINUS passing ter
rorS.
Johnston, in addition to his
throwing, is regarded as the best
ball-carrier to gallop with the Mus
tangs in years. He figured strongly
in Southern Methodist's excellent
showing at Oklahoma in which the
Methodists piled up 144 yards by
rushing to rs for their opponents,
scored on an 80-yard march and
kept Oklahoma bottled up most of
the time inside it's own 40-yard
line.
Apparently the only bit of gloom
for Bell is injury to Will Mullen
veg, a blocking back, whose loss
Bell describes as "the worst we
possibly could suffer at the pres
ent time"
Lack of reserve line strength wor-
ries Coach Elmer Layden of Notre
Dame more than his offense. Backs
like Bob Saggau, Lou Zontini, Har-
ry Stevenson, Joe Thesing, Milt
Piepul, Ben Sheridan and Bernie
Crimmins are bound to start click
ing sooner or later. They have for
two consecutive years.
His second set of linemen hasn't
developed on schedule. If it finds
the spark against SM.U., the Irish
will be over the hump on their
way toward another great season.

Pinch-hitting for Henry McLemore
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 13.
(UP) - Southern Methodist, the
little team that tied Oklahoma S
Big Six champions, will provide the
answer Saturday to a football ques-
ton that harasseS Notre Dame
coaches, students and synthetic
alumni in every corner of the ma
ton about this time every season.
Are the Irish just an ordinary
ball club or a great team, nursed
carefully through its early games
to prevent staleness before the end
of its rigorous schedule?
Notre Dame teams are motor
iously slow starters. This season,
the Irish have defeated Purdue, 3
to 0, and Georgia Tech, II to ID,
but at no time were they impress
sive.
That famed Irish attack had bet
ter start attacking for Southern
Methodist's flying circus is due to
break loose this weekend. Coach
Matty Bell has the Mustangs point
ed for this game and this one
alone. S.M.U. is out to win, as
Oklahoma was at Northwestern last
week, and the Irish are beginning
to point themselves to prevent a
rout similar to Northwestern's.

Sea Crowns Queen OF May
BY KENNETH FRIEDMAN

the Blessed Virgin on a beauti-
fully decorated rack carried by
four altar boys in red cassocks.
These Were: Louis Roberts, Dario
Sanchez, Daniel Sawyer - and
Charles Perez. The maids of
honor came next and then the
Queen in her white robe and blue
mantle. The procession trayersed
the green lawns in front Of the
Convent and then entered the
church. The rosary was recited
along the way by the entire pro-
cession and as they were enter
ing the church they began to sing
the May hymns of the Blessed
Virgin. When they were all in
the church they knelt in the
middle aisle to recite the Act of
Conservation to the Blessed Vir-
gin. Their great love and loyalty
to the Mother of God was shown
in this act when they said: "We
promise thee to keep round our
souls the bright armor of faith.
We promise to wear, for all the
world to see, the beautiful jewel
of innocence"
The Queen then crowned the
Blessed Virgins Statue and the
members of the procession offer
ed the flowers they carried as
they passed the statue on the
way to their respective places.
Father Kelleher based his SER
mon for the evening on the I'm
maculate Conception. He said
that the crowns of flowers alone
were not enough but when these
young ladies offered the diadem
of their faith and devotion, they
really proved their love for
Christ and His Blessed Mother.
After his sermon, Rev. Kelleher
enrolled those who had not been
senTolled fn the Scapulars. The
closing ceremony was the Bener,
diction of the Most Blessed Sacra-
ment sung by the members of
the procession.

would like to make a SuggeS-
ton in regard to a feature that
might prove a great attraction to
visitors that go down the High
way that goes to Sea-.
] understand that several and
various convention are held in
Miami during the summer, and it
seems to me that if Key West
could have a royal poinciana
festival" at that time, it might at
tract many and also induce them
to stay at least a few days in the
very nice Overseas Hotel or else
where in the city.
A mass of these flaming red
trees in bloom to greet the eye of
visitors as they enter the city by
way of the Overseas Highway
would surely be an attraction.
The -fringed boulevard al
ready established on the Gulf of
Mexico side, together with the
proposed boulevard on the Allan
tic side of the city, would make,
I think, a fine background for the
poinciana trees.
The poinciana trees have sparse
LEAKAGE, I understand, during the
winter months, but, by planting
perhaps Cleanders and hibiscus
with the poincianas a colorful all
year-round attraction would be
attained. Emphasis, however. al
ways being placed on the Royal
Poinciana Festival, in June and
July each year.
Would it be a good idea to plant
the poinciana trees and the clean
ders and the hibiscus in the
spaces between the palms on the
boulevard?
This letter is just a suggestion,
but / think that SO many sections
in the United States have flower
festivals. why not have one with
the glorious poinciana in Key
West?
