The report said that the nates were accompanied by one actually containing china, and that the narcotics lay in a water-front warehouse here several days before customs men examined the China crate, found it to contain china and then passed the remainder of the shipment through uninspected. o— Youth Escapes From Hospital At Capital Indianapolis, Dec. 24 —(U.R)' —Breaking through a window of the I’ui- tta county .hospital, Miner Lowe, 20.

Notre Dame has brought to a close its incst disastrous football season in the 12 years that Knute Rockne ha« been head coach. For the first time in history a Rockne coached team lost more than two games, and was cutscored by its opponents. Wisconsin, Georgia Tech. Carnegie Tech and Southern California all took their tool from the South Bend nomads while the Irish were forced to content themselves with victories over Loyola Navy, Penn State, Army and Crake. Four defeats against only five victories constitutes a poor season at almost any school. At Notre Dame it constl-l tutes a genuine catastrophe, for the . Irish in 12 years have been winning i from seven to 10 games with never more than two defeats. Until the season just past Rockne's worst record was written in 1925 when a “calamitous" season produced only seven victories and one tie in 10 games. Rockne suffered the worst (lofeat of his career during this year.ur 27 to 0 humiliation at the hands of Army. But the 1928 season will long be remembered by- the alumni of the South Bend school for victories are easier to forget than defeats. That Home Defeat And the humbling by Carnegie Tych will be remembered when the other defeats are long since atoned, for the Scotchmen invaded the sacred shadow of the Golden Dome to defeat the Irish on Cartier Field, 27 to 7. It was the first time a Notre Dame team had bgen defeated at heme since 1905 when a fighting Wabash College team turned the trick, and years of tradition had convinced the followers of the Rockne troupe that the Fighting Irish were invincible when within sight of the gilded dome atop the main building. in spite of the four defeats of the 1928 season, the record that Rockne has built up during his 12-year regime at South Bend is outstanding in football. Rockne-coached teams have won 92 games for Notre Dame in the past 12 years, with only 13 defeats. Six He games were played Only eight teams have beaten Notre Dame in that time ■ Nebraska, Michigan State, lowa. Arm;’ Carnegie Tech. Georgia Tech. Wiscon sin and Southern California. Nebraska turned the trick four times and in turn was beaten four times. The teams played to a scoreless tie in 1918. Army defeated Rockne twice and was beaten eight times and tied once. Carnegie Tech is the only other school to win more than a single victory and the i Ski bos dropped four games before they . won two. i Rcckne's teams amassed a total of - 2,577 points over the 12 year-spnn to - 564 for opponents. The season ■ closed saw Nctre Dame outscored lit" t 0 99—the first time Irish opponent l ever crossed the 100 mark. His Famous Horsemen The greatest achievement oi Rick tie's 12 year career as a coach was hrfamous “Four Horsemen" of 1924 These great backs, Layden, Crowley Miller and Stuhlderher, aided by 'h< “Seven mules", a sturdy line, rod< roughshod over the nation, defeatins all opponents including Army, Prince ton, Stanford, Georgia Tech. Carnegie . and Wisconsin. His most powerful scoring team wa l ■ that of 1921 which piled up a total o 375 points in 10 games. The first tean

hv ever coached-in 1918 —was his best defensively. This team lost but cne game and that to Nebraska on the only touch down scored against it in eight games. Army gained a safety bringing the total epponents’ points to 9 for the year. Rockne insists on drawing each year a schedule that would extend even his Horsemen of ’24. His teams play from coast to coast, and almost always be-

Boston College 19; Holy Cross 0. The 19 to 7 victory MeKenoy'a > Irishmen scored over Fordham wag probably one of the most gratifying of the season, for tiie Fordham eleven was coached by Major Hunk Cavan- . augh, former Boston College athletic director and the man under whom the youthful tactician learned hia football. McKenny employed a baffling mixture of plays tn the repertoire of bls eleven. He drew from college coaches till over the country, adopting any play which he thought might prove effective If launched from his backfield formations. To these ho added a sprinkling of original strategy and the result was attested by the record his men built up. Hurling Ambition Joe Is a Boston boy and his original ambition, he claims, was to be a major league pitcher. He was a star pitcher during hla scholastic days at Brighton High tn Boston and for a time It seemed as though he had a good chance to realize his hope. His love for football brought an end to this however tor he broke his shoulder during his senior year at Brighton and his throwing arm was never again effective. —— Q- —— Get the Habit—Trade at Home.
