I Notre Dame Undefeated . When Rockne Played Knute Played End During Seasons of Never Sensational Performer; Captain Last Two Seasons (Editor's Note; following is the second of a series of four stories on the life of Knute Rockne) By GEORGE KIRKSEY. UP. Staff Correspondent Chicago. April 2 —<U.R>—Notle Dame never lost a football game in which Knute Rockne played during the seasons of 1911, 1912 and 1913.. Rockne ma<|p- his collegiate football debut in the first game of the 1911 season against Ohio Northern. The Irish won, 32 6. but it was a mildly disastrous beginning for Rockne. Charley Dorais, Detroit coach who was quarterback of the Notre Dame team, threw Rockne a forward pass and almost broke one of Knute's fingers. Rockne was so tense and high strung his muscles ! were rigid and he dropped the ball. That muffed pass taught Rockne a lesson he never forgot: loose hands and relaxed fingers ate the only effective tools for receiving a! I forward pass. 1

Rockne's big time debut on the gtidiron was not made until the fifth game of the 1911 season against Pittsburgh. The game ended in a tie. but Rockne almost won the game when he scooped up an onside kick from Dorais and raced for a touchdown the officials did not allow. Rockne was not a sensational player, according to Ray Eichenlacs, fullback on the 1911. 1912 and 1913 teams. “Rockne was a mighty hard end to get around and he was a great catcher." says Eichenlauh. "He did what he was supposed to do and he did it well. He was methodical. Those qualities enabled him to build great football teams as a coach, because he was able to teach players to do exactly what they were supposed to do.'' Although Notre Dame did not originate the forward pass, it was Dorais and Rockne. as players, who fiist perfected it into a devastating offensive weapon which revolutionized football during this period. After going through the seasons of 1911 and 1912 without defeat. Notre Dame obtained a game on the Army schedule in 1913. Rockne and Dorais began preparing for tliis game in the summer before the 1913 Season. It was Notre Dame's chance for gridiron recognition, and Rockne and Dorais planned to make the most of it. Rockne or Dorais spent the summer at Cedar P int, Ohio, on Lake Erie, and throughout the long summer afternoons Rockne spent all his spare time running down the

beach after passes tossed by Dorais. ' That long tedious practice resulted in one of the biggest upsets of the 1913 season. Notre Dame defeating the Army, 35-13. Notre Dame scored its first touchdown on a ruse by Rockne. After one scrim-! mage he got up limping, and on' lhe next three plays Dorais passled to another player. Then on the next play the Army players, for-{ {getting about the limping Rockne, left him uncoveted. He raced down the field 40 yards and stood behind the goal to take the longest pass that had ever been completed up to that time. The Army team was dumb-founded. It was the beginning of a new era in football. Notre Dame led at the half, 1413, but routed the Cadets in the second half When they tried to stop Eichenlaud's plunges. Dorais passed, and when they tried to T break up the pases. Eiehenlaud ripped through for long gains. The record of the 1913 team, of which Rockne was captain, follows : Notre Dame 87; Ohio Northern 0 20; South Dakota 7 62: Alma 0 ,35; Army 131 14; Penn State 7 20; Christian Frothers 7| 30; Texas 7 268; Opponents .41! Rockne called the N»tre DameTexas game the toughest he ever 1 played in during his college caret* ' It was a hot sultry day in Austin. Texas, wheie tin game was played, and the Notre Dame players had just, left South Bend a few days before in freezing weather. That first halt played in terrific ' heat was described by Rockne as j "thirty minutes of hell.” The Nctre Dame players left the field almost; exhausted, but. strangely enough, | a nor:hern cam? up between halves.l The Irish went back on the field, scored two touchdowns in ten minutes and ran up a large score. There was no rest, however, for | Rockne. A giant tackle on the i Texas eleven concentrated on; Rockne and made life miserable I for him. Weary from the batter-\ ing received at the hands of the Texas giant, the spindle-legged Rcckne ran to the sidelines and yelled: “Send in Elward, coach, he needs only ten minutes for his monogram." “Nice of you. Rock, to think of Elward.” said the coach. “1 wasn’t thinking of Elward, I was thinking about my poor bruised carcass. Wait till that giant gets through with Elward.” It was the immortal Jim Thorpe who gave Rockne the most miserable afternoon' he ever spent on a football field. Three times Rockne tackled Thorpe in a professional game, each time Thorpe jarring Knute from his eye teeth to his toes. —— —— N. Y.

I take it for reducing and so far have lost 14 pounds and I think it is doing wonders for me.

Before the bottle is empty surplus fat is leaving you—indolence changes to activity — you’ll feel younger—eyes will brighten—step grows spry. Millions know this — you ought to know’ it. Kruschen Salts is the ideal treatment for constipation, indigestion, headaches, nervousness and acidity. Take Kruschen every morning—it’s the little daily does that does it —if not joyfully satisfied after the first bottle—money back.

Knute", Thorpe laughed as he came back. “That’s a good boy." < During his college days Rockne als > was a truck star and he became head track coach at Nctre | Dame in 1916 In addition to acting at Jesse Harper's assistant in football. With the exception of 1924, Rockne remained head track coach until he relinquished that j job to John Nicholson in 1927 be cause of other duties. Rockne became head football coach in 1918, I and his first team played six games, won three, lost one and th’d two. While assistant football eoacn.l Rockne personally. assumed the i blame for Notre Dame's 29-19 de-1 eat at the hands of Nebraska in j 1915. He scouted the Nebraska team and reported to the Notre Dame players that Chamberlain, Cornhuskers' balfbJek. never cut back when he ran with the hall; and licked his fingers before throw- ! ing a forward pass. In the first half Notre Dame's {defense swung wide to stop Chamberlain and be cut back and run 40 yards for a touchdown. With the score tied. 13-13, Chamberlain I started an end run. stopped suddenly and threw a long pass for a touchdown. He did not lick his fingers and the Notre Dame defense did not expect a pass. Although his first team lost to the Michigan Aggies. 13-7.* Rocktie's first real defeat did not come until his fourth year as head coach in 1921. His 1919 and 1920 teams had gone through undefeated seas ' ■ons, and the 1921 team had won , its first two games, giving Notre Dame a record of 20 straight victories unmarred by a tie. This was Rockne's longest winning streak although his 1929 and 1930 teams ran up 19 straight victories and lie

Rockne accepted this defeat gracefully and cautioned his players not to offer any till- | bis for tho setback.
