NOTRE DAME PREPARES FOR LAST GAME Victory Over Army Puts Team in Line for Greatest of Triumphs ROCKNE DOES NOT EXPECT TO WIN Chicago, Dec. 1. — <U.R) —With a hiring of IS consecutive victories (hiring the last two years to its credit, Notre Dame’s football squad today moved westward to seek a final triumph — one which, if attained. will stamp Coach Knute K. Rockite's 1930 aggregation as the nation's greatest all-American gridiron machine. - The game, with Southern Cali£>rnia at Los Angles Saturday, is the climax to the most difficult schedule ever attempted by a college foctball t am and a victory will give Notre Dame a second successive national championship. -Notre Dame already has defeated Northwestern and Army, respective midwestern and eastern leaders. and a victory over Southern California, rated as the best of Pacific coast teams, would eliminate any remaining doubt regarding the school's right to national recognition. The Irish, worn and weary after their strenuous schedule of nine games, without a "breather," and a 3.000-mile railroad journey, will inter the game as the underdog in the betting—the first time such a conditicn has prevailed in more than two years. Even the most I optimistic Irish supporters are asking odds, while Rockne frankly admits his fear of the coast team. "I'm not kidding you or attempt-1 Ing to use psychology on the play-1 cis when I say I do not expect to* win." Rockne told the United Press I teday. “Notre Dame will be on I the downgrade after those two I tough battles with Northwestern] and Army and while the boys may rally enough to give the Trojans a fairly good game I see no chance of victory. No coach could expect thiee victories cn successive week-' ends over clubs the salibre of Northwestern. Army and Southern (,’aliforn a.” Southern California, coached by Howard Jones, a former Yale and lowa mentor, will be in much better ccndition for the game than 1 Notre Dame. The Trojans have had few hard games this season and since their early season 7 to | 6 upset by Washington State have ] won their contests by overwhelming scores. Saturday's 7 to 6 victory over the Army, although gained by the uncomfortably close margin of a kick after touchdown, removed any doubt regarding the team's championship calibre. The Irish outgained the heavier cadets almost 10 yards to one and after the mud, ice, rain, fog and sleet nullified many scoring oppor-

The secre- i tary cf «tate and auditor conferr-1 ed on the matter yesterday and i announced that Gaylor would be retained until after th’ legislative session. Two appointments were announced by Mayr yesterday. Joseph O.

NEW COLD WAVE GRIPS STATE (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) wav of the Kakotas and Minnesota. : Predictions were that the mercury here would drop to about zero by early afternoon and might go below the zero mark tonight. The drop, like that of last week, was sudden. At 2 p.m. yesterday the temperature here was 39 above and just before midnight it was only a few degrees below freezing, but the forecast was it would drop rapidly from then on. As twilight fell Sunday and the advance gales of the new storm blew across Lake Michigan, the freighter Brazil was battered alwmt bv the waves until it became helpless. Drifting eight miles off shore, its whistles attracted the crew of the coast guard station at navy pier. Under, Cant. John O.

Rapidly falling temperatures were predicted for the southwest' today while in the Rocky Mountain region the weather was mod-’ erate and generally fair.

"During her entire lifetime she! i lias been in the forefront of labot j ■struggles, cheering and inspiring! ]men and women to fight for the I cause cf organized labor. ■ “The hearts of the men and wom- ' - n of labor are very sad becaus ' .] millions of working men and womlen mourn the death -of Mother Jones." Mother Jrnes will be buried in a I lavender dress, in a steel-gray coffin. Hsr body will be taken tomor row or the next day to Mt. Olivet, 111., for burial, after a brief church service in Washington. Arrangements were being made today for a special train. The trip probably will develcp into a pilgrimage, gathering tributes as it progresses. Mother Jones was known to thousands; to many others she represented a traditlpn. While Mother Jones had been ill for a year she rallied from time to time. Frequently her life was despaired of, but Mother Jones, al-
