In addition, he is also respon-

lenses, which were paper-thin last
season.
His appointment as an assist
ant mentor was repeatedly made
to give a little "age" to what was
considered a rather youthful staff
at Notre Dame.
Taking nothing away from
Brennan, experts generally award
a great deal of credit to Crimmins
for Notre Danes ability to re-
bound from last seasons disast-
rous campaign.
Because of the Importance of
the game, Crimmins was assigned
the task to scout the Oklahoma
Sooners. On the basis of his re

vaunted attack. He also worked
odt an offense to carry against
the Sooners, using Crimmins's re-
ports as a blueprint.
The result is pretty we'll

Crimmins' appearance at the

Layden, one of the Irish -Four

coach of them all-Knute Rockne,
Layden won All-American honors
in 1924.
Another great coach entered
the Notre Dame scene in 1871
when Crimmins was a senior. The
coach: Frank Leahy. That year,
Crimmins was named an All
American guard.
During those three years,
crimmins won letters while
playing right halfbaek, fvlIbaek

Notre Dame football history to
win major awards at three diff

MORE information has become available
81 the great publicity build-up ac-
corded Dorothy Brown, Of near Moores-
vile, North Carolina 1t seems that some
Of the things printed about Dorothy were
not true and we think there is little excuse
for the inaccuracies
Currently there is talk about poetic IL
cense.' which was used in writing the story
about Dorothy. TO us ii seems to be simply
inaccurate reporting rather than so-called
poetic license
For example. Dorothy did not live in a
two-room howell" Some daily papers
printed much but the fact IS that she
lived in a siX-room house
Another item which should be cleared up
is the fact that there was no hand-pulled
we'll at Dorothy Browns house - as the
story went Those who checked found there
was an electric pump at the house More
over, Dorothy was making about ten dol
lars week baby sitting at neighboring
farms when she was discovered" and that
board even if it is admittedly nneager
Ihe point is that there are many girls in
the United States in the same situation as
was Dorothy Brown. She was not exactly
the backWoods girl she was supposed to be
and we suggest that all those who are 50
rightously concerned with this case con-
Germ themselves with many other cases of
The same nature which can be found in anv

This assessment of the Russians is one
made by many Germans and was held even

his associates that Russia was a menace

it appears that Russia is still pursuing the
