NEW YORk-There will be
10000 of us in Yankee stadium
tomorrow. and 100000 hearts
will pump a little faster when
the big band blares a march
and the columns of gray come
swinging past through a sharp
wind.
Once again it's Notre Dame
against Army. and, with due
apologies to Ringing Brothers
from a rahid circus fan. it's the
greatest show on earth.
The secret Of this games sue

long to all NJ rs. People who
see only one football game q
year and don't know a reverse
from a field judge pick this one
to see.
There are persons on farms
in Arkansas and ranches in
Montana who root for the army.
There are men living in obscure
corners of Brooklyn who can't
tell you what state South Bend
is in. but who will argue. bet
and fight in defense of Notre
Dame.
Some people say you get your
$40 worth just by watching
the Army band parade into the
stadium, going To town on the
Notre Dame marching song as
an opening salute to a long
time opponent. Behind the band
come the faultless lines Of
cadets in gray and finally they
fill the field from goal post to
goal post. For those people the
football game is incidental. It's
the pageantry that they come
to see.
But scattered through the
stands are plenty of genuine
fans and some of them. gray
haired now, have seen every
Army-Notre Dame game since
1913 when a man named Gus
Dorais and little broken
nosed fellow named knute
Rockne swamped the cadets

Those are the people who
know that no matter how much
one team may seem to out

In France. after the last war, We
Americans were amused by the
practice Of wrapping goods in old

only kind Of wrapping there was.
However. though amused. we learn

and we can learn to do II again, or
to accept any new conditions, once
We are convinced that they are for
the good Of the cause.
1t may not be pleasant to be de-
prived Of butter and sugar. but It
Is undoubtedly good for our figures
II not for our souls. In any event,
there Is comfort In the thought that
whatever restrictions may be i'm
posed on us should be only temper
airy.
