PLAYING the FIELD - With Billy Evans

KNUTE ROCKNE, famous coach of Notre Dame, doesn’t believe in making an alibi for defeat. Yet, I am sure, if you could get him to express an opinion as to the defeat Bof the Fighting ta? you ask. Well Point, Notre Dame y with Minnesota Evans in one of the hardest battles of the year. The game was played in cold weather, and both teams suffered severely. Despite a difficult schedule, I feel that Rockne believed he could go through the season undefeated, provided he vanquished Minnesota. Both teams pointed for the game and were at top form. However, since Notre Dame met the Army on the next Saturday, it was Rockne’s team that suffered most. Scoring a touchdown early in the game with Minnesota, Notre Dame held the lead until the final minutes of play, when a break of the game that earlier had given Rockne’s team a scoring chance, this time felUto Minnesota, enabling the Gophers to even the count.

However, it really wasn’t until after the game was over that Rockne realized the toll the Minnesota game had taken of his athletes. a a TEAM OF GRIJAT POWER THE day prior to the clash between Notre Dame and the Army, when Rockne was asked his size-up of the Minnesota eleven, he replied: “It’s a great team that really doesn’t know its own power. Once Minnesota realizes its remarkable strength there will be no stopping that aggregation . .‘lt was one of the hardest played g*mes that I have ever seen, yet always clean. When a player was tackled in that game, he knew it. When a back hit the line, the forwards were well aware of the fact. “I am sorry I scheduled so im-' portant a game with so great a team before the Army contest, because I feel that my players gave all they had in that contest. “Regardless, I shall believe we are good enough to defeat West Point, although the margin may be very close.” * * 0 Rockne, who is seldom wrong in a football way, had poor dope, for the Army beat his great team 18-0. PENNSY CLUB TRIUMPHS Railroad Aggregation Scores Victory Over Strauss Says Five. Pennsylvania R. R. team defeated the Strauss Says basket snipers Sunday, 40 to 23, at the new Pennsy gym.

Basket Season Comes Into Own; Action Here This Week-End

Annual Grid Chorus Is On; All Are Good ‘Who Had Best Team?’ —East, West, South Answer Readily. \ BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—The football season is over, but the real battle has just begun and it centers about the question: "Who had the best football team in the land?” There are any number of Yale alumni who would bet their dollar that old Eli, with Bruce Caldwell in the harness, could beat any team in the land. From down in Dixieland comes Georgia’s claim to football supremacy and it’s not be waved aside. “Didn’t Georgia beat Yale, 14-10, in the Bowl?” the voice from the South says, “and didn’t they also beat Alabama, Florida, Tulane, Virginia and others?” That is true, but Georgia must beat Georgia Tech Saturday. Beating the Yellow Jackets always is difficult. n From Pennsylvania comes a great roar—“ What about Pittsburgh, the team that beat Penn State, Nebraska, West Virginia, Drake, Carnegie Tech and others by decisive margins?” But Pittsburgh was tied by Washington and Jefferson, which was tied by West Virginia, which lost four games and tied two. There is a murmur from tire MidWest that Illinois and Minnesota are entitled to consideration. Illinois beat Northwestern, Michigan, lowa, Chicago and Ohio State on successive Saturday, which was a real accomplishment, but going back ahead of that the Illini struck a snag in lowa State (Ames) and got only a 14-14 tie. Out Minneapolis way they’ll tell you that Minnesota, with Joesting and Almquist, could crush any football combination assembled in any sector. Yet Indiana held the Gophers to a 14-14 tie, and Notre Dame did. the same thing, 7-7. The South Bend shout is weak this year. Notre Dame defeated the Navy, Indiana, Georgia Tech, Drake and Southern California, but had its championship aspirations shocked by Minnesota and shattered by the Army. The Far West can offer no claim for national honors, with every major team on the coast beaten at least once Southern California was the last to go down. Every team in the Missouri Valley was beaten. Missouri, the valley champion, lost a conference game to the weak Kansas team, and an intersectional game to the strong Southern Methodist University eleven.

Drury, Flannagan Shine as Irish Humble Trojans; Rivals Sign-to Play on Coast in 1928

By NORMAN E. ISAACS, Times Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—This midWestern metropolis today was shaking off its collegiate atmosphere and getting down to bxxsiness. Tongues, however, cannot be kept still and the majority, of the Toms, Dicks and Harrys in the Windy City were handing out, gratis, their respective comments on the wonderful gridiron battle in gigantic Soldier Field here Saturday, where Knute Rockne’s Notre Dame team downed a graat University of Southern California machine, 7 to 6. The conflict, waged before 117,000 fans massed within the vast enclosure of the south park stadium, shared with the Army-Navy game in providing a fitting close to a great season. The contest here was a terrific struggle between two mighty and worthy rivals. • s Morley Steps Out Led into battle by its courageous captain, John Smith, the Irish ran into trouble at the very start of the contest when a punt went out of

bounds on the NoItre Dame 40-yard-line. The Trojans’ spectacular leader, Morley (Dreary) Drury, carried the ball on three plays to the 11-yard-line from where the Coast pilot heaved a pass into the arms of Russell Saunders for a touchdown three minutes after the I start of hostilities. Drury, slipped while attempting

Smith

to kick the placement for the extra point and the oval went sailing low and wide. The Hoosiers swung into battle array and with the first-string backfield in action drove the Californians down the field before a ferocious attack led by the elusive Christy Flannagan and Fred Collins, who slashed and hacked at the Trojan line. Charley Riley dropped back and tossed a twenty-ejght-yard pass down the field and Ray (Bucky) Dahman, traveling at top-speed, gathered it in as he fell in a heap in the California end zone. “Bucky” Does It! Dahman measured his. distance carefully and the ball went flying through the goalposts with the winning point. From then to the end it was a stirring battle with Drury leading the California offense and Christy Flannagan carrying the attacking burden for the Irish. All advance publicity on Drury was not exaggerated. Morley ran the ends, slashed the tackles, hit through center, passed, kicked, called signals and proved a tower of strength on defense. . Christy rose to the heights Saturday. He turned in his best perfor-

Technical to Meet Broad Ripple at Armory Saturday Night. OTHERS ALSO ON CARD Earlham, Manchester to Start College Play. The 1927 football season officially closed Saturday with the Notre Dame - Southern California and Army-Navy games and Hoosierdom’s greatest athletic pastime, basketball, was to come into its own this week. The cage sport, already has started, a trifle less auspiciously than usual, perhaps, and was to take its place as the sport king today when college and high school students returned from their Thanksgiving vacations. Already more than a hundred Hoosier high school net teams have opened their schedules and the college quintets are marking time. North Manchester will help ring up the curtain on the collegiate season, Saturday, when the Earlham quintet is played at Richmond. A rather strenuous week-end faces the local high school teams. Technical will open against Broad Ripple at the Armory, Saturday night. The Rippleites have won three games and lost one and a hard battle is expected. Manual and Washington each have two games on the program. Manual, with three games in the loss column, plays at Brownsburg, Friday night and at Southport, Saturday. Washington will play Bainbridge, Friday, at the west side gym, and Carmel, Saturday, at Carmel. The Washington club lost its opener to Lawrence.
