example, take brief look back at some of
last years major games:
Army-Navy: Two subs beat Army, 100.
Bob Leonard kicked 35-yard Navy field
goal and Dick Shafer dashed 22 yards for the
longest run and lone touchdown.
Dartmouth-Princeton: After warming the
bench for three years, Bob Hinchman hoped
onto the field late in the third period to place
kick 49, yard goal and give Princeton 81
victory.
Tulane Alabama: Harry Hayes, understudy
to All american Bobby Kellogg, preserved
Tulanes undefeated record by racing SO
yards to the winning touchdown against
Alabama Kellogg, smothered in the first
quarter, was resting ruefully on the bench.
Notre Dame Northwestern: Bob Hargrave,
third-string halfback, and Steve Juzwick,
fourth-string fullback set up Notre Danes
winning touchdown. With three minutes to
play, Hargrave ran back punt from his
9-yard line to Northwesten's Al. And almost
Immediately afterward Juzwick knitted through
to the T. The ball was blasted over from there
and the Irish won, 70.
Tennessee-V Vanderbilt: Tennessee's unbeaten
record was preserved by Buist Warren, who
tossed a 3O-yard touchdown pass, and Joe
Newman, who, two plays after entering the
game, intercepted an Grant Vandy forward
and raced 65 yards to the clmching score.
These are but few game winning subs.
But they give you an idea of why coaches are
wary of substitutes. Those fellows weren't out
there by accident, suddenly adopted sons of
Dame Fortune. They we're on the field to do
precisely what they did. In this day of huge
squads, hipper-dipper play and high-pressure
methods, many players are highly trained
specialists, used only as the occasion calls. A
strong armed passer. for instance, is rushed IN

runs down, a brick-wall backer-up is sent

in when the enemy is on the march; fresh
pair of tackles, noted for defensive work, plug
gaps in riddled line -
But peculiarly enough, one of the finest
pieces of sub action know of was far from
stroke of brilliant strategy. Jim Crowley,
Fordham coach, likes to tell the story on HIM
self. 1t happened against Texas Christian
three years ago. The Texans had taken an
early go lead which survived until the last
minute when Fordham rammed over the
tying touchdown. As the teams untangled
from the goal-line melee, Wilbur (One-Play)
Stanton, Fordham's ace kirker-off scooted
onto the field and place kicked the winning
point 1t was the first time Stanton had ever
tried an extra point and, in the papers next
day, he was hailed as hero. Coach Crowley,
in turn, was praised as master strategist.
But" Crowley confesses, Il didn't even
send him in. After the touchdown. l called his
name 50 he'd be ready for the kickoff. But
he thought meant for him to try for the
point Before knew it, he was out there. Of
course, when the quarterback saw him he
couldn't figure Stanton's being there for any
other reason but to place kick So he called
Stanton's signal. was called mastermind,
but when Wilbur went out there don't mind
telling you the only thing happening between
my ears was brain STORM"
Many are the thrilling and humorous mo-
ments that Notre Dame has provided the Gus
toners, and subs have contributed more than
their share. Al Parisien, ambidextrous passer,
whose touchdown heaves defeated Southern
California and Northwestern, and Johnny
(One Play O'Brien, whose clutching fingers
shared winning tosses against Army and the
Trojans, and Jim Mckenna - well, now,
there's story 80.

if the one-man patriotic pilgrimage had come

him; he okayed McKenna - providing he'd

smile. Nov that you're here, Jim Elmer

a storybook in itself. You remember how
Ohio State ran wild IN the first half, piling up
a 1870 lead, and then how the Irish fought
back and whitfield the margin down to 1918
with a minute to 60. Frank Gaul, No. 2
quarter, started the fourth period, then gave
way to Wally Fromhart, No. l signal-caller.
When Notre Dame gained possession in mid
field in the final minute, Andy Pupils No. 3

University's Blue Devils and victory
~ in the Rose Bowl on January l, 1899,
climaxing their unbeaten and unscored-upon
record. Time and again. they had smothered
the smashes of powerful Southern California
to preserve precarious 80 lead - and now
victory was within the next few seconds.
But it was doom for the Devils. 1t had been
long season long last quarter and
each second was agonizingly long as they
battled against superior forces. Fresh and
strong Trojan reserves had hacked their way
to the Duke "a yard line. There was time for
no more than one or two plays as Third String
Quarterback Doyle Nave took the pass from
center and faded back. Deliberately, almost
contemptuous of the Duke linemen who

receiver and flung the ball - straight into the

Three-Deep Strength

AT MOST big football schools, players no
longer are classified as first-stringers, second
stringers, etc. Being on the starting eleven is
no tacit acknowledgment by the coach that
you are superior to the fellow on the bench
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Iowa's
Iron Men of last year. who made only three
substtutions against Purdue, and four against
Notre Dame But nowadays, unless his squad
is three-deep in every position, the luckless
coach might Just as we'll start writing his
RESIGNATION. No team is stronger than its
reserves, and more and more the big games
are being won by obscure but able subs. For

 Preparations

Anchorage, Alaska, September l3 -(UP)-Sydney Lawrence, "A, Alas kan artist whose paintings hang in famous galleries around the world, told friends he met Wednesday:
 I'm going to die tomorrow"
 He wound up his business affairs, bid his acquaintances farewell, and went to a barbershop to get "pret- tied up to die"
 When the barber had finished the shave and haircut, Lawrence walked to the mirror, patted his hat on his head.
 He walked to the Anchorage hos pital Physicians scoffed at his forecast of death, but gave him a room and followed instructions to call his wife.

 "It,s not goodnight this time,' he contradicted. Its goodbye. ] won't be here tomorrow"
 He was there, however. He ate a hearty breakfast, smoked and read. Then he rose from the bed.
 He fell to the floor, victim of a stroke. He died without pain.

HIVE CASES ON COURT DOCKET
Short Calendar Session Held in Court of COm=

In the same case a motion to drop the garnishee was granted by the court.
 In a case carried over from the short calendar session of last week two motions were taken off, after argument by opposing counsel. This was the case of Lillian Stella, repre- Sented by Monagan and Monagan against Antillo zaccaria and others represented by Attorney M. V Blansf1eld.

 Nearing End of Fight
Congress Expects to Send Adopted Bill to White House for Presidential Approval; Millions Affected

 Washington, Sept. 13- (UP) = Congress completes action on the conscription bill today and sends it to the White House for President Roosevelts signature.
 The Senate was summoned to meet at Il A. Man hour earlier than usual-to act on the conference report on the measure, under which all men between the ages of 21 and S5, inclusive, must register for com- pulsory military training.
 Administration leaders predicted that the Senate would dispose of the report shortly after noon, and that it would be pushed through the House by mid- afternoon. MT. RooSe- welt is expected to sign it immediate ly, probably tomorrow.
 Once signed, the draft machinery will be set in motion throughout the country-the first time in history that men have been compelled to carry arms in peacetime.
 we are going to take up the con- ference report around 2 p. m. and proceed to adopt 1t at once by an overwhelming vote," said Chairman Andrew J. May of the house con- ferees. The report, privileged mat ter, is subject to an hours debate in the house; unlimited debate in the house; unlimited debate in the Sen- ate.
 FIGHT FOR FISH
 Leaders of the senate isolationist bloc, who have denounced the bill as "a step toward dictatorship" in- dicated that their fight against the report will be confined to attack on the action Of the conferees in aban- bonding the so-called Fish amend ment which would have delayed the draft 60 days pending trial of a vol- untary enlistment program. Isola- tionists conceded that they had no chance of altering the report.

VIOLIN CASE IS
 FOUND IN ALLEY

Police today sought the owner of violin case (probably containing a violin) which was found in a Spring street alley yesterday after noon.
 The case could not be opened without key, and police did not wish to force it open. Fears that the casa contained machine gun were allayed by the weight, which is very light.
 The case was reported to have been dropped in the alley by an in- ebriate who fled.
