NOTRE DAME TO MEET RIVALS IN STIFF SCHEDULE ■ -- By Copeland C. Burg, INS Staff Correspondent South Bend, lud.. Aug. 28.—Those rambling football stars of Knilte Rockne at Notre Dame University will again this fall contribute heavily to America's 1928 rai *s a.v business. Coach Rockne is sending the successors to his noted “Four Horsemen" eleven of a few years back from coast to coast this season and the schedule of the Irish is one of the toughest ever arranged in the history of the college football. For the first time Notre Dame ! plays both Us arch tivals, the Army , and the Navy, this season. The Navy Game The Navy game will be .played in; Soldier Field. Chicago, where Jack ; Dempsey was defeated for the second time by the fistic intellectual Gf*tie Tunney. The Navy-Notre Dame game will probably prove the biggest gridiron attraction of the year in the midwest. The date Is October 13. Immediately after the Navy clash the Rocknemen swing down South for j a game against their ancient enemies. I Georgia Tech. From the land ot magnolias, the Irish will speed northward to New' York, where they play Pennsylvania State October 27. They go up against the Army also in New York November 10. Carnegie Tech, a team which surprised the Notre Dame eleven a few seasons ago and gave them their only defeat of the year, will come here for a contest November 17. After that clash the travelers depart for Los Angeles to play the University of Southern California on December 1. Complete Schedule Practice for the season starts in September 15 and just two weeks later the Rocknemen play the opening game with Loyola of New Orleans, a new comer on the South Benders' schedule. October 6 the team goes to Madison, Wis., to engage the Uni versify of Wisconsin. The complete schedule of the Irish j follows: Sept. 29—Loyola at South Bend. Oct. 6 —Wisconsin at Madison. Oct. 13.—Navy at Chicago. Oct. 20.—Georgia Tech at Atlanta. Oct. 27.—Penn State at New York. Nov. 3—Drake at South Bend. Nov. 10—Army at New York. Nov. 17 —Carnegie Tech at South Bend. Dec. I—Southern California at Los Angeles. o Watching The Scoreboard —(U.PJ— Yesterday’s hero: Bob Meusel, New York Yankee outfielder who cracked out four hits in six times at hat, including two doubles, drove in four runs and generally aided thp American league lenders win a double vie- i tory over Detroit, 4-3 and 5-2. The Yankees were outhit, 7-6 In the first game but Tom Zachary making his debut in a Yankee uniform, kept the Tiger crew at bay while his new

mates came from behind to win. Pipgras let tlie Tigers down with eight scattered hits in tlie second game and the Yanks were never in serious difficulty. St. Louis clambered all over the Boston Red Sox for two victories, 8-6, and 4-0. Harris held the Browns hit less for five innings in flic first game, but they fell on him for five runs in the sixth. Ogden and Schulte shared honors in the second game. Ogden allowed the Red Sox only four hits and Schulte hit a home run and two doubles in three official times at bat. C’pveland bested Washington ii to 3, in the only other American league game of the day. Both teams hit the ball hard but rather ineffectively until the eighth when, with the score tied at 3-3, Cleveland drove in two runs to win. The St. Louis Cardinals increased their lead to four games in the National league by dropping Chicago, 113. The Cubs made 12 hits but could not bunch them. St. I.ouis made most of its 13 hits count. Right Cubs died on the baselines. Flint Rhern was credited with the victory and Sheriff Blake the defeat. Pittsburgh climbed a game closer to first division beating Cincinnati, 9 to 4. Luque was wild and allowed Paul Waner three straight passes before he was finally removed from the game. Waner scored two runs and in his only official trip to the plate, scored two of his mates with a long single. The Reds outhit the Pirates, 14 to 10, but Fttssell refused the Reds any chance to bunch their b lows. o BOARD AND ROOM by day or week. Price is • right. Phone 965. Brie Grocery & Restaurant. 203t3x
