MARKET QUOTATIONS
NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, Sept. 7. (UP) -
Stocks made an irregular advance
today with trading lighter than in
the past two sessions when the turn
over was nearly 100000 shares.
Several vain attempts were made
to bring the averages through the
recent top. On each, trading picked
up and prices of the general list
rose. But the gains failed to hold
in full and the averages held below
the recent tops.
Railroads were given a whirl un-
der the lead Of New York Central.

his catching harness today for his

Including six games with the New

forgot to mention to the record
keepers. the former White Sox star
played in 1925 contests. 1t has
taken Hartnett II years TO catch
up. chiefly because of his myster-

into only one game as a catcher,

Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor
NOtre Dame and Football.


II may seem strange to anyone
unfamiliar with Notre Dame foot
ball but Elmer Dayden is one coach
VINO can have his line wiped out
by graduation and still come up
with a smile over his prospects.
The slight, dark haired Notre
Dame mentor, who last season sent
Notre Dame back to the football
heights the Irish once scaled with
the immortal Knute Rockne st the
helm. predicted that his 1889 team
would be equally as powerful as
last years squad, perhaps better
Capt. Johnny Kelly, right end,
was the lone survivor from the 1898
line that outcharged eight straight
opponents and contributed to the
Irish greatest season in recent
years.
Layden. who will have approxi-
mately 200 candidates to choose
from. will move his second string
line into varsity positions. The prob
lem of grooming reserve power will
give him most difficulty.
Steve Snider, United Press cor
respondent who recently interview
ed Layden, said the Notre Dame
coach will have the same sort OF
alert fast breaking offense that
characterized the highly successful
team OF last fall
Talent in Backfield
All the best of the backs return
Quarterback Steve Sitko, left half
Bob Saggau, right half Lou Zontln
and fullback Joe Thesing. For the
heavy duty ballcarrying, Layden
again will have his galloping S-men,
Saggau, Ben Sheridan and Harry
Stevenson. Each had his great days
last fall, Saggau against Minnesota,
Sheridan against the Army and
Stevenson gainst Illinois.
As in the old days OF the four
horsemen, opponents couldn't tell
which was in for a hot day.
Most important cog in the attack
again will be Sitko. the clever field
general who sailed through all last
season with only one error which
might have been called tactical
blunder Even after the play, which
called for a fourth down pass in
stead of a punt against Southern
California and gave the Trolans
an opportunity to score when the
pass failed. Layden called Sitko his
perfect quarterback. His Judgment
on plays is almost flawless. Its Ike
having a coach on the field-and
how he can block.
Reserves Are Plentiful
Backfield reserves include Walt
OMeara at quarterback. Mlt Pie
pul. fullback veteran, and two soph-
omore right halfbacks-Bernie Cri-
minis and Steve Juzvik.
The starting line will have plenty
of experience Kelly and Bill Kerr
are the ends, Tad Harvey and Tom
Gallagher are the tackles, Joe De-
Franco and John GuDanlcn are lllt
guards and either Al Mooney or
John Mcintyre will be at center.
Line reserves are problematical.
On hand for another season are
ends Johnny OBrien and George
Rassas and Chuck Rifle at guard,
not much to make up for the grad
uation loss of boys like Earl Brown,
Joe Beinor, Capt. Jim McGoldrick,
Paul Kell, Augie Bossu and Ed
Longhi.
So it looks like sophomores in
a few key places. Jim Brutz and
Paul Lillis, two yearling tackles,
have the stuff to make good with
careful handling. Ed Sullivan and
Bob Hargrave are outstanding guard

are rung in pairs.

do you ever know what time II Ia ?"

OF course. that's perfectly true.
The only thing the uniformed
don't know Ia that aboard ship
