Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

SOUTH BEND, Ind., April 4.—As the bells of the church of the Sacred Heart wept the funeral dirge of Knute K. Roekne today, the man who started the famous coach on his superlative football career, first as player and then as teacher, wept with them. Jesse Harper, once guide of the gridiron destinies of Notre Dame and now a xattle raiser in Kansas, came back to the old campus on the prairie, where he so often had exulted in triumph, to mourn for the man to w’hom he had been as a father. ‘Rorkne was a eenlus in everythin* he did," declared the veteran. ‘'while halways insisted that there was no such thine as the 'Roekne system'—while he ever dellehted in savin? that hi* foot-, ball went back to Hamer —he was the erldiron creator of ail time. "When I decided to quit at the close of the 1917 season. I went to Father Cavanausth. who was president of Notre Dame at the time, and said: I am through here, but a greater roach will follow me'. ' Father Cavanaugh asked: ‘Who la this naregoon?’ "I told him I had chosen Roekne, He was surorlsed. That, man Is to ovoung’, r,e said, ‘we can't turn this thing over to a coach who Is only 23’, “ ‘Father. I have chosen Roekne and I nave told him that he is to succeed me', f said 'I cannot disappoint him'. “ ‘Very well. then. If that Is the ease, Roekne will get the post’. Father Cavanangh replied. I knew he would make the grade.. He went on to make football an advanced game all his own. There ean be no successor to Knute Roekne.” a a a A COUPLE ol years ago, in a - spirit of bandiage, Major Cavanaugh, coach at Fordham, said Roekne owed his system to the football Frank taught at Dartmouth. •Jokingly, Cavanaugh said that he had given the game to Marks at Hanover, and Marks had carried it to Notre Dame, and to Roekne. Roekne wa: very much amused over this statement, and refused to believe that it had been made in seriousness. I happened to be at Notre Dame when the subject came up in the newspapers, and Roekne laughingly said: "Cavanaugh is wrong. Our football goes back to Adam. I learned everything I know from Harper. He learned his game from Alonro Stagg, for whom Jesse played quarter at Chicago. Stagg brought his football from Yale, which cot it from Walter Camp, who in turn got it from Adam.” Roekne always was ready for a joke, and lie decided to have his fun with Cavanaugh. He sent, hint a serious sounding letter, couched In the most rigid legal terms informing Major Frank that unless he retracted his statement Rod,no would sue for damages and several other things. A week later Rockne’s leter returned. At the bottom was written: "Go to hel, will you. Cav.” That ended in fun what had started out to be dispute. No two roaches had greater admiration for each other. ; As for Roekne's getting his football from Adam, Harper disputed that. "He did things with the game that nobody ever dreamed could be done, and did them by himself.” said Harper. And the bells of Sacred Heart rolled a Hosanah across the prairie and through the strduim that Roekne. with his unmatched skill, had built for Notre Dame. a a a THE last public utterances of Roekne were heard at a high school basketball banquet at Washington, Ind., last Thursday night. Today I got the first report of his speech, and it is well worth telling here. "Visiitng this section of Indiana I find myself with a poignant regret,” Roekne said. "Coming here reminds me of a thing I did some years back, when I wasn’t so mellowed and so experienced, and when I wasn’t the father of a grown boy. I hurt a father badly, and now I know how badly I hurt him. and how cruel was the blow. "A high school football player came to Notre Dame from this section. I gave him every opportunity, but he bore out the truth of that line I have read over and over again in Robert Louis Stevenson: ‘ln advertise' the yellow leaf withers and falls, but the green one turns to gold'. The boy’s father came to Notre Harne ; in wrath. He wanted to take his hoy home. Ho berated me as a poor coach and a worse judge of material. The boy was on the eleventh team. 1 was a hit put out over the tirade and sent for the lad. I put him on the scrubs, and sent four varsity plays through him. lour times that boy backed away. I turned to the father and he was crying like a child. I realized then and there that, to a father, the son is something' of an ideal, an idol. I had broken that father's Image of his son. And I want to sav I suffered. "It was a wonderful lesson for me— A lesson 1 would like all coaches to learn and profit by, even as I have profited. Never lower a son to his father.” That was part of the essence of the Roekne system in-so-far ns it related to the plaver himself. He never lowered a son to another man’s son. tt tt st ONLY a short time ago in New York, Roekne went over the chief elements of yie various football systems. His greatest praise was for the Army, his greatest regret that the Cadets had gone to the double wing back formation. "Fop Warner has developed an amazing came, hut it fakes a tremendous lot of material, and West Point dors not have if.” Roekne said. Taking apart, his own game, he said: "The basic principle is change of pace In that respect football is a lot like baseball. Years ago 1 made a keen study of pUclTlne. I would have liked to pitch myself. I found out. that if a hurler had a ebonite of pace and control he had the batters at his mercy. “Now that's what Notre Dame football is—change of pace and control. The more thev fool aronnd with the shift, the more effective are thev going to make our game as it will give us a greater plsv for the change of pace—one second on one shift, two seconds on another, and another timing for a third.” st a a ROCKNE maintained the most ardent respect for Harper's footbitil opinions. Whenever Roekne developed something new, he made a set of diagrams and rushed them to Harper on his Kansas ranch. “Sometimes it was hard to visualize what Roekne was after—his plavs often looked so intricate on paper." said Harper. "I was tempted to line up eleven steers and work out the diagram in practice.” Nobody loved to win more than did Roekne. but no coach was willing :o sacrifice any more for discipline and rigid attention. But, todnv tre king lies in a casket of hronre. while the bovs who loved him in life and ndo-e him in death kneel In the Church of the Sacred Heart. an H the bells roll up to the Norse V:klng in Valhalla.

New Tribe Squad and Red Sox Plav Today •J w Corridemtes and Big Leaguers Will Battle Again on Sunday and Monday: New Patsimers Stir Up Local Diamond Interest. BY EDDIE ASH Opening the home exhibition schedule after a month’s stay in Florida, the Indians will battle the Boston Red Sox in the first of a three-game series at Washington park this afternoon and with several new faces in the 1931 Tribe lineup the local lid lifter is expected to attract

First Sucker Blue to Join Chicago Sox By United Frees CHICAGO, April 4.—A weakness at first base which officials say has slowed down the Chicago White Sox during past few years was believed remedied today with their acquisition of Luzerne A.

The purchase of the 32-year-old player at an unrevealed price was announced Friday, when it was said also that Blue, who entered the majors in 1921, would join the White Sox at Atlanta next Tuesday ior their exhibition series with the New York Giants. Blue began his majors’ career with the Detroit Tigers, ana was traded to the St. Louis ciub along with Heine Manush in 1927.

Robins Need Dependable Pitching With Bat Power to Win Pennant

Editor’s Note—This is the twelfth of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the various major league baseball clubs. By United Press NEW YORK, April 4.—Strengthened by the acquisition of Lefty O’Doul and Fresco Thompson of the Phillies the Brooklyn Robins, who finished fourth in the National League last season, must be reckoned as a serious threat in the 1931 campaign. The Robins’ main strength lies in their hitting. Given decent pitching, this power at the plate may enable them to club their way past the Cardinals, Cubs, Giants and Pirates, the four teams rated as their rivals for the flag. In O’Doul, Herman and Frederick, the Robins have a trio of outfielders expected to outhit any other set of fiychasers in the league. The infield, composed of Bissonette on first, Thompson at second, Wright at

Demand for 500-Mile Seals Exceeds 1930 Advance Sale

Automobile racing—for years the iargest crowd-drawing magnet in sports—continues to maintain its popularity, in spite of a financial depression, be it real or mental. Already every state in the Union is included in the seat reservations which have been filled for the annual renewal of the international 500-mile race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in May. An unprecedented demand for pasteboards from the New England states has swelled the early advance sale to anew mark, according to Miss Eloise Dallenbach, who has been in charge of the mail order ticket sale since the first race was held here in 1911. A recapitulation of the orders on hand Friday exceeded the record of last year, which was a record breaker for race attendance. There is every indication, according to T. E. (Pop) Myers, general manager of the speed plant, that the crowd in attendance at the coming event will exceed last year’s 168,000 for anew American sports attending crowd record. Seats for the race went on sale Jan. 12, nearly five months before

Cleveland Gets Scrap Heavy Title Battle Is Tentatively Carded for July 3. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 4.—The heavyweight boxing situation remained a merry-go-round today, with the Max Schmeling-Yeung Stribling championship bout now tentatively scheduled at Cleveland July 3. and rival New York and Chicago promoters seeking the services of other titular aspirants. Paradoxically, the heavyweight class has at least half a dozen contenders who could be conceded an even chance against Champion Max Schmeling, but promoters are having great difficulty in arranging attractive bouts for the outdoor season, only two months away. The Schmeling-Stribling bout j has been driven from pillar to post, and with the New York milk fund, original sponsors, withdrawn from participation, the championship contest remains in the uncertain class. It probably will be staged by Madison Square Garden Corporation of Illinois, and in Cleveland, but it does not appear likely to be a big financial success. Other heavyweights available for the outdoor season include Jack Sharkey, Tommy Loughran, Primo Camera, Vittorio Campolo and Mickey Walker. Unfortunately, all of the contenders, with the possible exception of Loughran and Walker, demand that they be allowed to “hand pick” their opponents, and it is impossible to arrange an elimination series which would provide a single survivor to meet the Schmeling-Stribling winner in September to settle definitely the question of heavyweight superiority. Mat ‘Champs’ May Tangle By United Press NEW YORK, April 4.—Jim Londos and Dou George, rival claimants to the heavyweight wrestling championship of the world, may meet for the benefit of the New York milk fund, if George is willing to risk his claim. Jack Curley, Londos* manager, has agreed to the match. Lonaos is willing to wrestle on either a onefall or two-out-of-three basis. Jimmy Johnson, New York representative for the Bowser-Herman “trust"’ which handles George, said he was positive George would agree to meet Londos.

short, and Gilbert at third, also packs a heavy batting punch. Since the leading hitters on the team—O’Doul, Herman, Frederick and Bissonette—all are lefthanded batters, rival managers undoubtedly will try and check them by using southpaw pitching whenever possible. This strategy may not work, however, for O'Doul never has been bothered by portsiders and Frederick and Bissonette hit any and ail sorts of chucking. Herman dislikes lefthanders but fortunately for the Robins, there are few capable southpaws in the league. With Thompson on second, the Robins are assured of a reliable fielder and a fairly decent hitter. Last year it was necessary for Manager Robinson to make frequent and disturbing changes at second base. The Robins pi telling staff is one of quality and quantity. Dazzy Vance, Phelps, Luque, Gallivan, Quinn and Thurston will be the

Sarazen l ops W hiter Golf Money Winners With $8,230

By United Press NEW YORK, April 4.—The 193031 winter golt season has ended with Gene Sarazen, George Von Elm and Johnny Golden dividing the lion’s share of the gold awarded as prize money during the fivemonths campaign. It was a season replete with uncertainty, one which failed to produce an outstanding money winner. The prize money was more evenly divided than in any season in the past decade. Sarazen's total earnings of SB,230.50 topped the money winners. Von Elm, who turned “business man golfer” just before Bobby Jones announced his retirement, won $7,8G0. Golden, mainstay of the Ryder cup team, captured $7,600 for third place among the high money winners. Both Von Elm and Golden reaped most of their winter’s fortune in the $25,000 Agua Caliente open. It is understood that they split first and second place money aggregating $13,500, although Golden defeated Von Elm in the playoff. Sarazen won most of his money when he captured the $15,000 La Gorce open. It netted him a little more than $5,000 and was one of the two major titles he won. The other was the Florida-West Coast open that brought him SI,OOO. Leo Dfegel was the only other golfer to annex two crowns. He won the Oregon and San Francisco opens in the fore part of the season, but -was unable to finish high up in the money after that. The victories brought him $1,900. Whiffey Cox of Brooklyn won the north-south open at Pinehurst and
