LOSS CALLED IRREPARABLE
South Bend F.ither Charles 1..
O'Do.inell. president cf Notre Dame
university, described Knute Rockno
death as "irreparable in many ways."
"Nothing has ever happened ai
Notre Dame that has so shocked the
faculty and student body as the tra
gic news that came at noon cf the
accident which took the life of Knute
K. Rockne. To every person at Notre
Dame this is as personal a grief as
if a member, cf his own family had
died. Everybody was proud of
Rockne. Everybody admired him.
Far more than that, we loved him.
Apart from the unique and deserved
success which he achieved as director
cf athletics and football coach he was
a great personality with the attri
butes of genius.
'"My own friendship for him ex
tends back twenty years when I was
firt assigned to Notre Dame after
my ordination. Rockne was then a
student in Corby hall where I was
prefect. The friendship thus formed
has remained unbroken and will al
ways be for me one of the fairest
memories of life.
"Our hearts go out in loving sym
pathy to hi widow and chtMren.
Pending completion of funeral ar
rangements the university will hold
a solemn requiem service in Sacred
He.irt church. All the students will
receive holy communion for the re
pose of his soul."
Father O'L'onnell, named "Hunk"
Anderson. Irish end in 1920 and
1921, and Jack Chevigny, backfield
man of 1926-7-S, to lead a delega
tion from the university to claim the
body of Rockne. A special car may
be chartered. Officials attempted to
reach Jesse Harper, who taught
Rockne the game here and who yield
ed to him as coach in 191 R. to ask
him to take charge temporarily. Har
per was said to be on his ranch at
Sitka, Kas.
