LOSSOFROCKNE FELT BY NOTRE DAME STUDENTS Squad Still Plays For Coach Rockne, Though He Is Confined To Bed South Rend, hid., Nov. 1. —(UR) — Such a love as a sou bears a father—only in this case It is the love of many sons who look upon Knute Rockne as they would a mutual father—is credited with keeping the spirit of the "old man” alive on Notre Dame’s practice grid iron this fall while Knute is home in bed with an aling leg. With Rockne temporarily out of the picture as far as fluid coaching is concerned. Tom Lieb. the assistant, once one of Knute’s star line men, is in full command. But the boys who come out every afternoon for the practice grind do not play for Lieb alone, but for Rockne, to whom they are bound by tender ties. Rockne is more than a football coach to his team. When they leave school he follows them in to the world, still coaching tiiem, writing to them and putting punch and goal-line fights into their business life. In the Wisconsin and Navy games Rockne has not been able to be on the field. Lieb has been in his place, shouting and driving and drilling the club, but there has been something lacking. It was the sharp, staccato, crackling voice of “Rock,’' often pointed with a hot quip or a sarcastic dig that soon soothed with the balm of a cryptic approving nod or a pat on , the hack. , Behind it is Rockne’s sense of humor, and all his assistants together cannot emulate him. , He has a dozen other qualities of brain and heart that cannot be match- , ed. and his absence for only five minutes leaves a big void. But it is the team's love for Notre , Dame's “iron man" that keeps things j running at an even keel with Rockne , in bed. i Lieb runs the team and does a good job. but the master, in bed ir out, never takes his hands off the club, and his etactical advice goes out witli the team to every game he misses. | < It is regarded as impossible to de- i termine when Rockne will return to[< active duty on both legs. There isj optimistic hope that he may lie out I in time for the Southern California! game. He has been in semi-confine- i ment since the Indiana game Oct. 5. i

Along the Sidelines I ” i Bloomington, Ind., Nov. 1. — Amid the cheers of thousands of students, most noticeably the pleading hurrahs of the “no-win no-shave" club, emitted from behind heavily bearded physiognomies. 31 Hoosier gridmen left late yesterday for Minenapolis, where they will engage the Minnesota Bonecrashers tomorrow. Those in the party are Mankowski, Ringwait, Dauer. Hojnacki, Crawford, Bennett, Faunce, Warsksa, Ross, Dudding. Shannahan. Jasper, Shields. Koanig, Unger, Catterton, Mac Crack en, Zeller, Thomas. Hansen, Brubaker. Balay. Garrison, Todd. Hughes. Magnabosco, Antonion, Blagrave, Joyner. Rasher and Ashby. Although it was reliably understood that the frat men hadn't ordered any razor blades in anticipation of a victory, there were faint hopes that the hard defensive drills of the week might have placed the Hoosiers in a position to stage anothter no-score tie upset.

Crawfordsville, Ind.-Coach Vaughn's Wabash gridders took their final run , around the field yesterday afternoon, in preparation for their clash tonight I with Manchester. It will be the firstj appearance of a Manchester team on Ingalls field. Indianapolis. — Butler’s Bulldogs went through a light practice yesterday in preparation for Saturday’s game with Depauw, showing confidence throughout the drill that they will finish the day two-up on their I adversaries over the 21-year record of gridiron competition. Should Depauw win Saturday, each team would have seven games to its credit, with one tie. There have been six seasons since 1909 in which the teams weren't matched. Coach "Potsy’’ Clark will start his regular lineup against the crippled adversaries. o Fifteen Die In 15 Days At Indianapolis Indianapolis, Nov. 1. — (U.K) —The death here of John Sekula from injuries sustained Sunday brought the automobile death toll today to 15 deaths in 15 days. Everett Heid, 12, was in a critical condition today after stepping into the path of a machine last night driv-

Robert Vaughn, negro, 29, was bound over to the Marion county grand jury, with his bond fixed at $1,500, on charges of . manslaughter. Pierce Sluder, 33, and Ernest (lilberson, 29, were released on their own recognizance. Both denied knowledge of an accident by a hit-and-run driver when two person were injured fatally. Kirkland To Play Lafayette Center Kirkland township high school basketball team will journey to Lafayette Center, Allen county. Saturday night • o meet the basketball team of that school. Lafayette won a single point victory over the Kangaroos here last year. Coach Bill Bryan stated today that Captalu Beery and McKean would be unable to make the trip because of injuries. All is rather quiet on the FOOTBALL front this week. You know i Football’s a lot like baseball. When • Babe Ruth’s sick and out of the lime- ] light, that national pastime becomes exceeding’y dull —and now in football i with Knute Rockne recuperating from 1 a leg infection—quietness reigns in t football. s Things will liven up tomorrow how- ] ever, for there are a lot of important t gam's scheduled in all sections of the ] country.

If Purdue decisively defeats Wisconsin, which most sports writers are prone to believe will occur, the Boilermakers will become favorites to win the Western conference title. Indiana plays Minnesota at Minnejpolis Saturday—Our Iretter judgment says the Goph -r will trample rough shod over the Hoosiers —bur our sentiment hangs on to the silken thread of hope —and once Indiana tied a great Gopher football team. Notre Dame goes south to meet Georgia Tech—The southerners trimmed the Rocknemen last year—but in all probability it will De a different story this year.

Several local basketball fans are planning on mo oring to Berne tonight I to see the district CHAMPS open their net season. Berne netters tackle Jefferson in their opening gamem. From all preseason dope the Johnson coached machine will defeat the Marshmen, but along about tournament time. Jefferson might have a different story tell. Next Monday night the Yellow Jacket netters will square away for the first practice of the season. There's a flock of material at Decatur high school this yea: —and prospects for the best team in years. Yellow Jackets, here's hopin' you clo.e the footba'.l season with a win over Garrett. Footbawls was on the job vesteroay but there was just too much to do all at (•nee—consequently no column — we ll try to work a ti tle faster hereafter. It’s with a tear in our eye that we bid goodbye forever to the B’uffton sport columns —with the News-Banner completing a merger Monday theie I will be only one newspaper and as a result only on- sport column—we don’t know which will survive, but either one would add much to any newspaper in the state. Touchdowns will scon be supplanted by f'eld goals, and in another month all high schools in the Hoosier state will hive teams out on the hardwood and every newspaper columnist will be claiming a state title for his home town - and (hen as the season reaches the midway mark, these ‘red hot’ tans will still be claiming district titles for their teams —and then along about tournament time they'll be predicting their team will win the first gime’ aud then after the season, all but one will be raying better luck next year we should have won —and that ladies and gentlemen Is BASKETBALL IN INDIANA. But the football season is still here —and before we forget to remind you WE STILL BELIEVE THAT AN OFFICIAL SHOULD CARRY OR HAVE ACCESS TO A RULE BOOK WHEN OFFICIATING ANY HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EVENT.

GREAT GAMES ARE SCHEDULED New York. Oct. 1. —(U.R) —There are ■ some great football games on tap for • tomorrow, north, east, south and ■ we.At; intersectlonal contests of uni usual and, here and there, unique in- ' teres t. Somehow, however, this game up at New Haven in which Yale and Dartmouth are to meet before 80,000 transcends all the rest in human interest. Here is a game into which the human element enters most peculiarly, for on each team we find a youngster elevated by public enthusiasm land those terrible sports writers aliout which the Carnegie foundation had something to say last week) to a wellnigh untenable peak. It is almost a certainty that before the shades of night descend upon the massive sweep of Yale bowl tomorrow evening, one, possibly two, college idols will have been shattered, it is almost unbelievable that Albie Booth and Al Marsters, champions of Yale and Dartmouth respectively, can come through this vital test unscathed. They are only college boys, after all. and the eyes of the entire world of sport will be focussed upon their every move. In this Yale-Dart mouth game, team play probably will be the decisive factor. But the 80,000 in Yale bowl, and the myriad radio audience will have eyes and ears only for Marsters and Booth. All during the week, a youngster in Yale Blue has been carrying the ball against the Eli varsity, giving the best imitation he could of the mighty and elusive Marsters. Up at Hanover, it was a line coach himself. Swede Yougstrom, who stepped into the last fewscrimmages in imitation of the mighty and elusive Booth who must be stop- , ped if Dartmouth is to win tomorrow. Seldom, if ever, in gridiron history

have we come up to the eve of a major game in which attention was to he so closely concentrated upon a single individual on either side. Albie Booth, a phenomenon in college sport if ever there was one, is the ma'nsprftig of the Yale team. Al Marsters has proved the same for Dartmouth. When these stars are absent, each team plays listless, intjifferent football, and is subject to defeat. When these stars are out there on the gridiron, each team has proved itself well-nigh invincible. A football crowd, knowing the game and loving it. usually is content with the issue as lietween two elevens. In the case of this most unusual game at New Haven tomorrow, the issue is between Booth and Marsters. Each team is coming up to scratch with sufficient man-power to obviate alibis. Each went through a difficult, strenuous contest last Saturday, but since neither Booth nor Marsters broke a leg. it is even stephen, and may the better team—and it may turn out to be a question of the better man —win.

HALLOWEEN IS QUIET IN CITY Usual Pranks Are Reported But Property Damage Is Unusually Small Out - ide of the usual “kid pranks" Hallow 'en passed 'quietly in Decatur, Thursday night. Windows were scaped, porches were covered with corn and tin cans, and in a few instances property was destroyed, but officials had the situation well in control and there was less of the usual after Halloween evidence sea tered about local streets this morning than in many years past. Many people paraded the business secticn of the city masked in clown suit , tr-inp suits and other comical egalia. There was no community celebra’ion, however this year. Some property damage was reported in the less ligli ed parts of the community and a few reports from distinction of farm property were filed with Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth today The Y-e was not, however, the whole sale destruction of former years. Many lit’le tots ma ked up and vlsited their neighbors and tela ives during the early evening and several parties were held in various parts of Decatur.
