Eight persons were killed in a plane crash near Bazaar, Kansas, March 31, 1931. For seven of those passengers there were no headlines, only the sorrow of relatives and a few intimate friends. But the identity of the eighth man shocked the entire nation.
He was Knute Rocke, Notre Dame's immortal football coach. His teams had been all-victorious since Southern California had defeated Notre Dame 29-14 in 1928. Rocke's 1930 Notre Dame team has been called the greatest of them all. Certainly his "Four Horsemen" back-field is the most famous in gridiron history.
"The Rock's" memory was honored Saturday at South Bend where he rose to the heights as the nations top football mentor. He always will be a legendary figure at Notre Dame.
The Mexican baseball league continues to grab some of the star players from the major leagues in the United States. The fact that it is an outlaw league and means suspension from organized baheball doesn't seem to make any difference to some of the players.
The Mexican league has offered
staggering sums to American athl-
tes, and many of them have been
lured away from organized ball. It
is becoming a serious problem to
major league owners and managers,
but there seems to be no ready so-
lation for them.
Vernon Stephens and Mickey Owen are the most famous players who signed the past week. Stephens played his first game in the new league Sunday, but Owens has not reported yet.
Stephens, former St. Louis Browns shortstop and homerun king last year, signed a three-year contract $20,000 a year. The Browns had offered him $13,000 for this season.
Owens, former Brooklyn Dodger catcher, recently was discharged from the navy. He signed a five-year contract as player-manager of a team in the Mexican league. Owen wired his boss, Branch Rickey, that he was through with organized baseball. He received a $12,500 bonus for signing, but he did not indicate what his salary would be.
