Major C. A. Daley, West Point

"The Army-Notre Dame game has always been one of the beat of the large intersectional contests. We have always found the Notre Dame teams to be the most excellent sportsmen, playing the cleanest and hardest of football, good losers and generous winners. It is very easy for me to testify to the high ability of Mr. Rockne. The clean sportsmenship of his teams and the high gTade, winning quality of their play leaves no doubt that Mr. Rockne is among the very best coaches in this country. It is a pleasure to so testify.'

"Coach Rockne possesses all the traits that go to make up a clean sportsman. Unlike some football coaches, Knute never criticizes the work of a football official, and he is pleasant to work for. He can take a defeat just as graceful as a victory, and the outside world appreciates such a character. Coach Rockne knows football and knows how to teach it. Notre Dame will continue to have strong elevens so long as he is at the helm, and it is hoped that some day in the near future Notre Dame will be a member of the Western Conference."

Rockne Called Miracle Man Heralded as the "miracle" man of American football, Coach Rockne, head coach at Notre Dame, can have about anything he wants around South Bend these days. Already the students of Notre Dame, alumni, as well as undergraduates, hail him as the greatest coach in football, and such a title does not appear unwarranted. Since Rockne took charge of the Gold and Blue in the turbulent fall of 1918, Notre Dame has lost but one game. It has defeated West Point three successive times in as many years, as well as Nebraska, Purdue and other strong western elevens. Rockne first came into prominence when he placed an aggregation on the field in October, 1918, that held the powerful Great Lakes team to a seven to seven tie score. Notre Dame's play against the Army last Saturday bespoke remarkable coaching. The mental wallop that Rockne puts behind his men is the dominating factor of his team's success.

"We feel that we played the best team in the west. One cannot give too much credit to the man responsible for this great machine. Notre Dame reflects the spirit of Coach Rockne. Game, always a fighter, and always a live sportsman. Coach Rockne has accomplished wonders at the Catholic school and has placed Notre Dame's athletes on a plane with those of any university in the west.

"I have known Mr. Rockne for the last six or seven years during athletic relationships between our institutions. I am glad to say that I regard Mr. Rockne as one of the best coaches in the business. He has been remarkably successful in both football and track, and has made and kept Notre Dame a leader in athletics."
