The boys from the North Side school should know now how the Indiana grid feam felt after that Nebraska game last week. For Henry Bogue's Continentals were out-played just as'surely and consistently as Nebraska was, in the first half. Shortridge dominated the play through part of the

third quarter, too, until their effort to score failed as the

ington ahead, 14 to 12.

° As most football games, yesterday’ s was full of psychol-

ogy and its effect upon boys’ minds. '

QHORTRIDGE came on the field with the idea of putting

everything into that first-half punch, hoping to knock

out the Continentals before they could get started. Their idea bore fruit, for in three plays Davy Crockett was across

1t certainly was, and during the first quarter the Blue and White gained 111 yards to Washington's 75. The Continentals retaliated and within 10 plays after the Blues tallied, Boswell passed to Carter who scampered over. Boswell plunged through for the point after. But Coach Nipper’s boys came right back and shortly after the second quarter started scored on a pass from

of the quarter was played safely by both sides. There were four Shortridge punts for 93 yards, an average of 24, and

three Washington punts for 79 yards,

none came.

DAYS OF ‘SECRET PR Hae Notre Dame oe

Layden en Must Shoot Works Against Pitt

Some Observers Say Irish Have: Concealed True - Grid Strength.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—"“Secret practice” is over for Notre Dame. From now on the Irish have to. come out in the open with all their guns. Through strategical handling by Coach Elmer Layden, Notre Dame has been able to hold “secret practice” in its brown-brick stadium at South Bend right down through mid-October, win three games and keep every one guessing over their true strength. - But Notre Dame leaves South Bend tonight for Pittsburgh, and before a crowd of 75,000 in the Pitt Stadium Saturday the Irish will have to shoot the works against the Panthers. , Estimates on the Notre Dame team form a hodge-podge of contradictions. Coach Elmer Layden says: “The team is still a mystery. The Pitt game will serve as a test but will not. establish the team one way or the other.” : Plenty of Spirit

Coach Harry Stuhldreher, whose Wisconsin team lost to Notre Dame, 27-0, says: “I haven't seen any of Notre Dame’s opponents but the Irish will hold their own against any of them. I like the way they went at thihgs. They have plenty of drive and lots' of spirit.” A scout who must remain unidentified says: weak at ends, and against passes. Their reserves ¢(o not seem to be high class.” The records show that Notre Dame at this stage is just as strong as last year at a corresponding stage. The Irish beat an improved Carnegie Tech team, 21-7, as compared to a 14-3 score last year. They won from Wisconsin, 27-0, the same score as last year. The other victory was scored over Washington U. (St. Louis), 14-6, in comparison to last years 28-7 triumph over Kansas. " Need Experience

fayden says the team’s greatest neéd is experience, and shat the kind of experierice his players need isn’t the ‘one-two-or-three game kind, but a whole season of tough competition together. There is evidence to indicate that Layden has cleverly covered -up Notre Dame’s strength up to now. In the Wisconsin game Jake Wovalcik threw a 38-yard pass to Leonard - Skoglund late in the = third period with the score 20-0. Layden immediately yanked his quarterback, indicating that he didn’t want any more long-range aerial stuff. Most of the Irish offense has been limited to basic Rockne plays. The only glaring weaknesses noted in Notre Dame in action have been at quarterback and on defense against passes. Andy Pupils is the No. 1 quarterback. He has shown fair ability as a blocker and field general and has handled punts well, but he hasn't been 'put to the test yet in a big game.

Coming from the very shadows of their own goal, Coach Henry Bogue’s Washington High School Continentals ripped off a powerful fourth-quarter drive to change 'defeat into victory and turn back the challenge of the Shortridge Blue Devils, 14 to 12, yesterday at the West Side gridiron. : Trailing 12 to 7 at the end of the third period, the Continentals began ‘their victory march shortly after the final quarter opened when Jim Boswell, dynamic quarterback, standing behind his own goal, struck swiftly and boldly with a forward pass play. Green Tosses Lateral Marion Carter was on the receiving end of the aerial maneuver and brought the pigskin up to the 35yard line.
