Notre Dame System Traces Back to Stagg, Rockjie Says Defeat by Yale in 1914 Led to Important Change in Irish Style: Bouquets for Phelan. BY KNUTE K. ROCKNE, Member All-America Football Board <Rc*. U. 8. P stent Office.)

What is the origin of the system of football as we now use it at Notre Dame and as quite a few of the Notre Dame alumni use It In various parts of the country? The system has, of course, been Influenced from many sources, particularly as regards blocking, tackling and the execution of the other fundamentals. But the flavor, the peculiar twist vhich differentiates it from other methods comes from A. A. Stagg, Yale alumnus, who is still coaching at the University of Chicago. We were on our way back from the Yale debacle of 1914, Yale having beaten Notre Dame 28 to 0, when Coach Harper called me into his Pullman drawing room. I was his assistant that fall. He announced that we had to break into something new, something different in the way of offense, or the year would be a failure. He began drawing marks on a piece of paper, describing a back field shift similar to what Chicago had used in the old days when he was sub-quarter back for Stagg.

Harper’s variation was that he' made the shift cover twice as much territory. I added the idea of shifting the ends in and out with a stationary line. Harper wanted the line shift also, but after a day or two of experimenting, the line from tackle to tackle was left stationary. Beginning of System This simple shift, was the beginning of what is now known as the Notre Dame offense. Harper also had some original ideas on the forward pass which were to prove far reaching. It ha 6, of course, evolved a long way since that time and many Notre Dame men out coaching have added embellishments of their own. Most of the sound fundamentals which Harper found at Notre Dame when he arrived probably were Inherited from the days when Barry of Brown was coaching. Variety and Spice But systems of football, like nationalities, are all somewhat of a mixture, though one of the most interesting things about the game today is the fact that there are many different adverse conceptions of offense, many of them successful. It is this which adds the variety and spice to our fine autumn sport. Jimmy Phelan of Purdue is, of course, the man of the hour in the Big Ten, and lie should be. He deserves every bit of credit, along with his assistants, for the fine achievement which the gallant Boilermaker aggregation turned in this fall. Their victories were so clean cut, decisive and merited that no one questions but what they are by right the best team in the Conference. However, to my mind, the outstanding coach in the Big Ten this fall was Professor Stagg at' Chicago. Starting out with practically no prospects, with no material of experience, he defeated among other teams, Indiana, the University of Washington, and Princeton. Scouts tell me that his attack was very clever and as well conceived as any in the game. Stagg is, I believe, almost 68 years of age. Any one who knows the grand old gentleman is more than delighted as his successful 1929 season.

ZACH WHEAT, who used to be an idol of the baseball fans at Brooklyn, may be the new manager of the Robins. When the club directors hold their meeting this month, Steve McKeever will insist that Wilbert Robinson has been a failure in the pilot’s seat and that Zach should be subatituted. On the other hand, another important director is understood to be lined up with Robinson. Old Zack gave seventeen years of faithful service as a player to the Robins, and also served as manager for a short time. He once was one of the game's greatest hitters.

CONSISTENT STARS HONORED ON U. P. ALL-AMERICA ELEVEN

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The close of another football season finds the fans of the nation awaiting announcement of the accepted recognition of individual performance, the annual all-America team. With nearly 200 college, university and service elevens playing through representative and intersectional schedules, the choice this year has been quite as difficult as any in the past. The United Press all-America team for 1929, which will be announced Tuesday, Dec. 3, has been selected with the assistance pf

Irish Given Major Claim to Title by Impressive Record. OTHER TEAMS HONORED Tulane, St. Mary's Placed Next to Leaders. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The nation’s three outstanding football teams for 1929 are Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Purdue. Notre Dame has slightly the better claim to the mythical national championship by winning nine consecutive games against major opponents, all of them away from home. There were a few soft spots in the schedules of Pittsburgh and Purdue. Thirty Teams Ranked The United Press ranks the leading elevens of the country as follows: 1. Notre Dame. Pittsburgh, Pordue. 2. Tulane. St. Mary’s (California), Tennessee. Fordham, Texas Christian, Western Maryland. 3. Southern California. Southern Methodist. Stanford, Colgate, California, Illinois, Davls-Elklns, Nebraska, Kentucky, U. of Utah. 4. Minnesota, lowa. Northwestern, Army, Vale, North Carolina, Dartmouth, Navy, Pennsylvania, Michigan. In the south Tulane is unbeaten and untied, but the Green Wave hasn’t a single outstanding victory to its credit. Tulane’s major victories were over Texas Aggies, Georgia and Georgia Tech, each beaten several times. Tennessee on Par Although tied by Kentucky, Tennessee’s record is virtually on a par with Tulane’s record. Tennessee has beaten Alabama and Vanderbilt, two strong southern teams. On the far coast St. Mary’s is the outstanding eleven, with only a scoreless tie against California early in the season to mar its record and notable victories over the Olympic club, Santa Clara and Oregon. Tie Against Fordham Fordham and Western Maryland, in addition to Pitt, are unbeaten in the east, but Fordham has been tied by West Virginia and Davis-Elkins, while Western Maryland’s only notable victory’ was over Georgetown Texas Christian has the best record in the southwest, with nine straight victories and a 7-7 tie against Southern Methodist. The University of Utah is the Rocky Mountain region’s best team, without a defeat or tie to mar its record.

SETS NEW MARK Ramblers Play Before 574,000 Fans During Season. Bu Timet Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 2.—Notre Dame today claimed anew American football attendance record, figures showing they played before approximately 574,000 fans during the past season, with gate receipts for the nine games estimated at more than $2,000,000. The attendance at each game this season was as follows: Indiana, 16,500; Wisconsin, 85,000; Navy, 65,000; Carnegie Tech, 70,000; Georgia Tech, 30,000; Drake, 50,000; Southern California, 122,500 (paid), 125,000 total; Northwestern, 50,000, and Army, 85,000,

coaches, officials and football experts in every part of the country. It is truly representative of individual worth throughout the land. Football as played today has been perfected to a point where the truly outstanding stars of any given season are not to be found in the lineups of the better known teams exclusively. In order to be chosen for this year’s all-American eleven, a player had to perform not only well but consistently. He had to stand up through a gruelling season, and be a re-i tower of strength to his team, great or small, not merely brilliant in a game or twa

OF I R4CKBOARD I \lh by vern boxell.

(Editor’s note: This column, the introductory episode of Off The Backboard, which is to be conducted by Vern Boxell, Times assistant sports editor, was written by Norman E. Isaacs, news editor of The Times. Isaacs formerly was a member of the sports department, and is the founder of Off The Backboard.) BY NORMAN E. ISAACS. NOW that basketball, the annual Hoosier hysteria, is under way again and Off The Backboard is ready to hoist its banner for its fourth annual campaign, it is deemed good taste for the original Mr. Backboard to write this introductory column for Mr. Boxell with all the fervor and the full delicate touch that is required of a true master of ceremonies. (Wild cheers from the gallery.) Writing the opening column for Mr. Boxell, I find myself motioning for the orchestra to play “King for a Day.” In a way, it is rather hard to find myself wishing this column off on some other fellow, even if it is the young, ambitious Vern. Vern, of course, knows he Is slated to take a fling at attempting to pick the winner of the annual state tourney. At that, I always can grin and say, “Weil I picked a winner once,” or sit on the sidelines and yelp with the public, “oh, you flat tire!” I finished out a three-year campaign with a batting average of .333. I sincerely hope Mr. Boxell can dole out a rollicking 1.000. He may do so, for he knows his basketball quite fluently. In fact, he isn’t exactly a budding columnist because once upon a time, as I have it, he conducted a column in Marion, Ind., and once picked a winner. (The year Marion won. Yes, he picked ’em every year.) THE path of a basketball writer isn’t exactly flowered with rose petals and lilacs, and quite frequently the columnist doesn’t go where he pleases. Often he roams the path that Mr. Eddie Ash, the veteran editor of sports, prescribes for him. Vern, I take it, will follow the policy of Off The Backboard in

SEEKS DIXIE OPPONENT Bu United Brest HARRISBURG, 111., Dec. 2.—The undefeated Harrisburg (111.) high school football team, claimants to grid supremacy in Illinois, is seeking a post-season game with a representative southern state championship aggregation.

For this reason, the names of a number of players who were outstanding, incomparable in fact, in certain games, have been omitted from the United Press all-America team. Albie Booth, Yale’s extraordinary sophomore back, for instance, showed more football than any other player seen in the east, if not the entire country, in inspiring and leading his team to victories over Army and Dartmouth. But Booth was hurt and out of the Princeton game, a cripple and hampered to the point of virtual incompetency in the Harvard game.

attempting to write intelligently, whenever possible, about news of the college, high school and Independent basketeers. It is a pretty tall order, anyway you take it, but I feel certain that Vern will acquit himself with laurels. I would like to suggest, in my best and most sincere tone, that readers of this column should speak their minds whenever they feel the urge, * If you feel like boosting somebody, just say so. If you feel that your team isn’t getting a square deal, speak up. In the interim. Mr. Boxell will be parked at his typewriter, pecking out sentences on this, that and the other thing. nun I ONCE did the same thing. In fact, I even said something once in a while. The paths have changed since then and no more will I find myself in Logansport tonight, Bloomington tomorrow night and the Lord only knows where the night after. Those are Vera’s worries from now on. Nevertheless, I remind myself of that old song, popular a few years back, “It All Depends on You.” Remember that little ode and give the little boy a big hand. “Here’s the key to that typewriter, Mr. Backboard, you now are the official master of ceremonies of this enterprise. You go on full duty Tuesday and here's my best wishes of a hearty success. Cheerio.

Wildcat Ace Going Abroad Before Trying Comeback Bu NEA Service LOS ANGELES. Dec. 2.—Ace Hudkins was “ace high’’ tn Los Angeles and over the Pacific coast region at large until Mickey Walker shellacked him in their bout here recently with the middleweight title at stake. And now Hudkins, instead of retiring as he had planned if Walker won, is going to Europe.

Big Tom Kennedy, former Hollywood promoter and the Wildcat’s new manager, believes Ace needs a rest, then a few easy fights abroad and then not even Walker can keep him away from the middleweight throne. “Hudkins is young—only 24,” declares Kennedy, “and with a few good fights abroad and some bouts in the east and middle w’est, we ought to be able to take on Mickey again in six or eight months, providing, of course, Walker still is in the middleweight class. The Ace was in poor condition when he lost to Walker recently. He needs rest, after which he can start all over agaain.” Kennedy must believe in the Wi dcat, for he paid Clyde Hudkins, Ace’s brother, the reputed price of $20,000 for the managerial contract. The former Hollywood promoter believes Hudkins will

He deserves recognition as one of the most remarkable football players of modern times, but because he did not play throughout his team’s schedule, he does not come up to the requirements of the 1929 allAmerica eleven. Another such player was A1 Marsters of Darmouth, who was the meteoric back of eastern gridirons during the early part of the season, only to suffer an injury which ended his career before his team was finished with a difficult schedule. Booth and Marsters were two of the year’s greatest, yet neither met the all-American specifications.
