SCHEDULE OF NOTRE DAME
PROVES TEAM- AMBITIOUS
Coach Rockne’s Men Take on the Best of ’Em—Has Easy
Game Preceding Contest With Nebraska — Huskers
Always Tough. /
By TJAVIS J. WAIM
New York, Oct. 23.—While eulogies
are being cast upon the vagrant
breezes concerning the. speed, versa
tility, judgment and general worthi
ness that have come to he associated
with the combination ot Knute Rockne
and Notre Dame, one fact seems to
have been overlooked, to wit: Notre
Dame is attempting to snap off a
schedule of games that Is just a little
bit. tedious, even for a Rockne eleven.
The schedule is one of those af
fairs that college correspondents like
to refer to as "ambitious.” it is a
weak term in ils present application.
That schedule would break the back
of a steel girder. Evidently it Us
Rockne's idea to start at the top and
work up.
first off, tlie team came east to Eb
bets field, knocked the Army off by
two touchdowns and went home, five
days later it was headed east again
and this time it made the visit more
or less numerable by beating Prince
ton by some 23 points. Business of
typographical shots from gentlemen
of press as Notre Dame journeyed
homeward.
The team has nothing to look for
ward to in the immediate future ex
gia Tech, for years the greatest team
eept a game on Saturday vidth Geor
nnd certainly the most consistent In
the south. Neither Harvard nor Yalo
would care very much about taking
on Tech at this stage of the incipient
proceedings.
Purdue, one of the chronically
weaker "Big ^'en'' elevens, follows
Georgia Tech in the Notre Dame
schedule, probably so that Rockne
May Eliminate Valley oFotball
St. Louis, Oct. 22.—"If we can’t
get more men out for football, and
heavier men, the only thing to do, a*
I see it, is to withdraw from the Mis
souri valley conference and arrange
games with teams iri our own class,”
Coach Wimberley, of the Washington
university football team asserted to
night.
The remark was made in comment
ing on Washington's defeat by Okla
homa, 62 to 7, Saturday. It was the
worst defeat the local institution suf
fered In its conference career, It was
said.
Director of Athletics Rider said:
"I'm convinced that Washington is
due for a big change of some kind if
we are to continue with football."
The chief difficulty in building up
a football team at the local Institu
tion, it was said, was apparent in
ability to get heavy football stars.
The pikers average 170 pounds and
Coach Wimberley said at team of this
average weight cannot expect to be
victorious over teams averaging 190
pounds, as was the case Saturday
against Oklahoma. The majority of
the local high school stars go to out
of-town universities when they are
;;i ruiuated from high school, it was

can get the young men (accustomed
to taking the low hurdles in a stride
as well as the high. The next stop
is Lincoln, Neb., where Fred Daw
son's Nebraska Cornhuskers. always
a series of unpleasantness to Notre
Dame in recent seasons, will be taken
on. No team is choosing the Husk
ers by preference, either.
Butler is next in line. We know
little about the team in question, hut
we imagine the affair constitutes «4>at
technically might be called a “breath
er.'1 How even Butler may be the
kind of breather one takes under 10
feet of water.
The final game of *the regular
schedule involves another trip east
to Pittsburgh to play Carnegie Tech.
Around Pittsburgh Carnegie is fan
cied above the PKt Panthers, which
means that the plaid outfit Is no wind
blown cinch.
And the end is not yet. It is under
stood that Notre Dame has accepted
an invitation to play a California
team, probably Southern California,
at Los Angeles on Christmas day.
Ambitious? The schedule is down
right heroic.
W orking Out for
Saturday Games
j
_v
Chicago, Oct. 23.—Strength, more
strength, strength of line, charging
and defensive strength and backfield
strength of attack whs the demand
of coaches of western conference
elevens yesterday and last night
when they had their charges on
the field for the first going over since
Saturday's games, which for the nonce
have eliminated five teams from
championship consideration.
At Mudison, the Wisconsin eleven,
which piled up the worst defeat ip
Indiana’s history Saturday, 52 to 0,
was admonished to forget that
strength display, and to build up
against the formidable Minnesota
Gophers they will entertain this
week end at Wisconsin’s home-coming.
Still staggering from the Wisconsin
crushing, the Indiana eleven began
striving for strength for some sort of
showing against Chicago in the next
conference scrap.
At Columbus Coach Wilee put his
r>»>ateii Ohio State eleven through two
hours of signal drill.
Host of the Michigan men who
trounced Ohio State Satuiday, were
excused from signal drill after they
limbered up.
Scouts told Iowa tales of Ohio State
strength despite the Wolverine vic
tory, and the Hawkeyes began to
build for power to combat It.
The unbeaten Chicago eleven Is not
regarding the game Saturday against
l’urdue as easy, hut is regarding
Staggs apparent endeavor to build
supreme strength for the expected
harder tilts later In 4he season.
The equally undefeated Illinois
team seems already to have strength
sufficient to cope with the twice de
feated Northwestern eleven next
Saturday.
Football Drama.
It will be interesting to see wheth
er or not late October and November
tootball lives up to the drama of the
.'ear in aport. Along all other lead
ing fields the number of thrills pre
sented to the square inch have left
1923 riding the peak, cracking all
records. Football, usually the lead
ing thrill maker, will have to step to
hold its lead. ,
In boxing there was the thrill of
Tom Gibbons on his feet against
Dempsey after 15 rounds. But this
was a pallid turn compared to the
four minutes of war In the Dempsey.
Firpo clash, the most thrilling four ,
minutes of the ring.
Competitive golf has never known
quite so much drama before. The
first pulse-jumping moments came
when Bobby Crulckshank tied Bobby
Jones with a remarkable 3 at a hard
par 4 final hole. The second game
came when Jones on the play-off
with an effort Just as remarkable on
his long Iron to the same green. Aft
er this followed the thrilling 38-hole
battle between Max Marston and Jess
Sweetser at Floesmor, one of the
tnost dramatic engagements of the
decade In the same way 38 holes
were required to settle the Sarazen
Jlagen match at Pelham for the P.
' >■ A. championship w here Sarazen
won in the most spectacular fashion.
So golf was rife and vibrant with Its
• I ig moments, far beyond tlie normal
l un of the game.
Same for the Series.
The same thrilling intonations at
tacked the world series. The first
three games were all tense drama,
i eplete with plot and counterplot, full
nt flame and action,
1'hcy all read like fiction with the
popular hero winning with the home
run smash, two of these in the ninth.
Then followed the melodramatic
eighth inning where the Tankers
rume from behind to win another
thriller and leave another big crowd
limp,
It has been a tough year on the
human heart. The strain has been un
usual with nerves drawn to the final
stretching point. Now the big part
of football Is on ahead with heart
and nerves subjected to further tester
Most of the big games of the year,
cast and west, are going to be ex
tiemely close. Old rivals are well
matched up and down the line. Many
a pulse is still facing a new series
of flutters, for football hit* the stu
dent and the old grad with the larg
«sl splash of excitement known.
Great Hacks.
Already patter concerning star
backs of the year Is beginning to
grow in volume.
Feverish testimony^.!* coming In
almost daily from various campuses
or camp! and enthusiastic grads.
So far we have run across none
greater than Harold Grange of Il
linois; Darling of Boston college;
Klpke of Michigan; Crowley of Notre
Dame (with Miller and Layden neck
and ns-.-k), and Tryon of Colgate.
To this one might be added Walter
Koppiach of Columbia. This, of
course, doesn't nearly exhaust all the
all-star caravan.
Hammond of Harvard may break
in, and Yale has glittering possibili
ties for entries to stardom with Mal
lory. O’Heam and others.
So far no backs have stirred up
more „dust than Grange of IlllnoiR,
and Tryon of Colgate.
They have walked on high ground
to see the valleys far beIV them.
Tryon was badly Jolted In the Ohio
State game, but here Is another Kll
llnger at carrying the ball.
Few backs carry any more ver
satility than Grange of Illinois;
O'Hearn of Yale, and Darling of Bos
ton college. They can all kick, run
and pass—and what Is more do each
of these things with exceptional skill.
The same applies to Klpke of Michi
gan.
If there Is s chance for any one
hackfield to equal Notre Dame's for
all-around value It may rome if Tad
Jon»s has the luck to keep his best
men In shape. There are rare pos
sibilities In O'Henrn, Mallory, Neal,
etc., but when a huckfichl is rldrjh d
with Injuries even good men who are
substituted ha n't quite the same
chance to fit |- th« scheme of
things as outlined. vj^jm
The Syracuse hackfleld should step
forward on even terms with any.
Here Is speed, power and experience.
And in Bowman, the fastest sprinter
of the game—another Craig of Michi
gan In this respect.
fr aclng Notre Dame one week and
Hie Navy Hewn days later will he
sufficient to give Princeton the Iron
lest. It will mean a better chance
later on. Bill Koper and his staff
kntw they had a Joh to face with
Treat, Baker, Cleaves, Cray am!
othera missing, so they fared the Is
HUS squarely with one of the hardest
October schedules on the slate. Prince
ton will have gained a yard full of
needed experience by the film ||„.
Tiger gels through these two hard
games. That Is the way to (Ind weak
nesses and )•'pair the same when you
don't mind (he possibility of defeat.
• " It true,” asks a reader, "that
football started In China, as I read
In some magazine?" As that other
explosive, gunpowder, did why not?

Death, the black camel that kneels
at everyone's door, couldn't wait for
poor Ted Rice to get home. Rice, a
veteran jockey, was killed at Jamaica
the offier day when his thoroughbred,
McKee, bolted through the railing,
hurling the unfortunate jockey
against the judges' stand. Death and
danger lurk in all forms of sports.
Also it waits at high noon around
the corner in the every day hustle and
bustle of life.
The other day a fragment of cor
roded brick fell from a Broadway sky
scraper. It killed a passerby. The
last person he expected to meet on
Broadway was his Maker. It Is the
very braving of danger, the laughing
challenge to death that makes ath
letics and the game of life worth
while. ^
Profession^ reformers, those sleazy
substitutes for human beings, seize
every death jon the field of sport as a
means to ‘'earn” their infamous pay.
Their foul brains are ever buzzing
with faneified brutalities, dangers and
what not. They would make It a
spoon feeding age If they could. But
luckily red corpuscled folk know they
are condemned nut of their own ran
cid mouths. The archives of sport
show a very small percentage of
deaths In ratio to the number of ath
letes engaged.
The favorite morsel of the spoon
feeding ''reformers” Is boxing, livery
time there is an unfortunate ending
of a bout there is a shrill shriek to
heaven to stop the game. |3ut as a
plain matter of fact, there ore fewer
deaths In the prize ring, perhaps,
than in any other form of athletics.
That is in proportion to the number
participating. Think of the hundreds
of bouts, the thousands of blows
struck every night throughout thel
country. And how many deaths, or
even serious , Injuries, do you read
about?' Of deaths you rarely read of
one In a year.
Once in a while an Insufficiently
trained prelim boxer or one unfit
physically succumbs to a blow. In
such cases the blame often can be
passed to physicians who are sup
posed to examine boxers before en
tering the ring. Once in a while a
boxer commits the suicidal folly of
taking off vital flesh and sinew.
Andy Thomas paid the penalty Iasi
winter. Ten years before that I.uther
McCarty, a promising white heavy
weight, was killed by Arthur Pelky.
McCarty foolishly attempted to box
while suffering from an injury caused
by falling from a horse. Mickey
Shannon, a young heavi-welght, met
death in Jersey three years ago in a
bout with Al Roberts. The ring floor
was inadequately padded. Death re
sulted when Shannon's head hit the
scanty upholstering. These are the
only prominent boxers who have met
death in the ring in the last la years.
In the old days football claimed
many casualties every year. That was
in the era of mass plays, when beef,
brawn and general rough stuff ruled.
With the coming of the forward pass
and the open style of plav bone-crush
ing was reduced to a minimum. Today
the fast light man or player of me
dium poundage Is the most dangerous.
It Is still a tpugh game. No red
blooded American wants to see any
thing else. It Is a maker of manhood.
And Its fatalittes now are compara
tively Infinitesimal.
Considering the number engaged in
baseball games on sand lots on minor
and major league diamonds, baseball
cheats with abandon the Grim Reap
er's scythe. There are Injuries galore,
of course, broken fingers, legs and
worse. But the death of Chapman,
the Cleveland inflelder, who was hit
on the head by a pitched ball three
veats ago, is the only major league
Incident of the kind on record. There
have been many deaths on the sand
lots, but then It must he remembered
there are many thousands playing
every day. And If there wasn’t an
element of danger In the game It is a
safe iiet it wouldn't appeal to the
American youth.
Tennis has been remarkably free
from deaths. The "reformers" praise
this game, yet its physical demand*
are tremendous. It is a wonder that
many do not drop dead on the court.
An example of the strain is Indicated
in the recent collapse of .Snodgrass,
the Pacific coast star, after a gruel
ing match. Baskitball ts a rough
game and It contains a subtle danger
os well. Overheated players frequent
ly contract pneumonia from exposure
following a game.
One of my good friends, “Hob” Fy
fee, one of the best "pros" in the
New York district, passed away in
this manner. Poor Fvfeo fin.shed one
game, then jumped into a taxi to
play elsewhere, neglecting to guard
against the.winter winds. Ovcrexdy
tion "gets ’ them once in a while on
the golf links. It does, because we
know of a magazine editor who loathes
the game, and In order t" attack It he
prints a monthly list of those who ex
pire on the links. May I take your
subscription? Keep* you in touch
with all the horrors of golf.
California Revives Turf Game
.San Francisco, Oct. 23.—Horse rac
ing, unknown in California except on
the «matl circuit tracks, for more
than a decade, is to he brought hack
with considerable flourish at the
Tanforan track, five miles south of
here, on Saturday, November 3
"Bangtails" from some of the most
noted stables In the country will fcae
the barrier, among them being entries
from the Oak Ridge stable of Thomas
Fortune Ryan and the farms of
Adolph B. Spreckles snd his brother,
Rudolph Spreckleg,
The sport was knocked out with
the passage more than 10 years ago
of an anti gambling bill, which was
fostered by the present lieutenant gov
ernor, C. C. Young, then a member of
the state assembly. Previously, the
race track Interest*, fearing coming
disaster, thought to avert It by in
stalling the parimutuels, but the
Young law wipod them out and with
them every other substitute for open
book making.
Thereafter the big track holdings at
Ingleslde, Emeryville and elsewhere
In the state knew the busy patter of
the high-priced hoofs no mors. The
big plant at Emeryville was broken
up Into industrial sites and Ingleelde
was left to the w^jds and wlr* grass.
Even the coursing parks "went un
der,” the racing fans being unable to
get the usu4l kick” out of the hound
features.
In conformity with the law the Pa
cific t'oast Jockey club, which oper
ates Tanforan. has promulgated a
rule that no betting of any kind will
tie allowed. It Is believed that this
will be an Incentive rather than a
drawback, and to prove this conten
tlon more than >00 thoroughbreds
from all parts of the country are
roofed under ths long Tanforan
stables.
The Jockey club has received word
that W. J. Morrison of Montreal, who
will be presiding Judge for the 25
days' race meeting. Is on his way to
itan Francisco.
A record crowd o? society folk and
others is expected for the opening,
which will he mode a gala event.
