Seventeen Varsity Football Men Play Their Last Season on Coach Rockne's Notre Dame Grid Team
By Henry L. Farrell
(United Press Sports Editor
New York, Dec. 5 — Seventeen seniors retire from the Notre Dame varsity football squad this year including Stubbler, Miller, Crowley and Layden, a combination that competed Eastern critics said was the greatest backfield ever assembled, to coach Conch Rockey for the last time.
Rockee will not wear a gloomy face. He is not only an optimist by nature but he has become more of a fierer spreader by his experience as a football instructor at one of the greatest football institutions among the colleges.
If it had not been shown so many times in the past that tars sheds for Rocke are tears might be vain, the mourner's bench might be packed and shipped to South Bend. There might also be the fecive boards spread for those of the East and West sides, but we have a sigh of relief at the termination of the domination of Nitre Dame on the college gridiron.
Rocke, however, has known for two years that seventeen of his best players were in 1925 classes and that he would have to break out with a new team. The betting is on two to one that they and a team out again are in full fallout. No matter what Dame team and that is about as much as can be said for any team.
rockne started a fad this year by sending his second team on the field IF the first quarter and rushing the second quarter, they never were able to hold their own. The Netre Dame coach IF a vogue-tamer. Although there was no significant strategy in a move where Rockne was not until they were needed vitally, severa-

Football Men Are Guests
Thetas Give Feed for Members of Squad
The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority entertained the members of the 1924 football squad with a banquet at the chapter house Wednesday evening. Members were invited to watch which will be given annually in honor of the football squad. The color scheme was carried out in crimson and blue and miniature footballs were used as favors at the banquet. After the game there was dancing until 8 o'clock.
The members of the football sound present at the banquet were: William Anderson, Reginald Smith, Eldo Haley, Lewis Davidson, Pearl Taylor, Carroll Hardy, William Mulliam, Myrion Viores, Harold Testerman, Harold Hariel, George Powers, Ted Sandman, Harold Burll, Wurt Starr, Alex Hodges, Wyeth Walterts, Edward Couter, Gene Hart, Harold Todd, Michael McGarry and Wade Child. Others present at the banquet were "Bob" Recherts, Mr. and Mrs. John Bunn, George "Pete" Clark, Dr. and Mrs. Frorest Allen Mr. and Mrs. Karl Schlademan, and Mrs. Annie Shanklin.
The women's student council of Miami University has taken upon itself to look after the cleanliness of the campus. Warnings have been given all students will be forced to refrain from walking on the grass.
Eastern coaches picked up the stunt and tried it in their big games.
With Notre Dame, however, it was not a move designed for deception or a piece of strategy, it was merely a means of getting some good experience for the youngsters on the squat that Rocheke was preparing to take over. It was the next fall. It was also a good way to keep his stars from going stale by the hard competition of the stiffest schedule arranged for any team in the court. The wisdom of getting substitutes ready for bigger jobs was shown when Adam Wash, as great a center as ever played football, and Harry Stublerhuber, an All-American quarterback, was given the opportunity and had to be taken out for two big games. In the pinch Rockne reached down in the squab bag and pulled two substitutes that made the two injured stars hardly missed.
The Rockie idea that it was foolish to cripple or wear out a team with hard scrummings during the active season was picked up by Yale and Princeton, among other big teams in the East this fall.
Tad Jones had been severely criticized in the past for punishing Yale teams in scrimmage. Complaint was voiced that more star players were injured in practice than they were in play, and the team called off all scrimmages the week before the Princeton and Harvard games and he was able to send a team out in the two biggest games on the Yale schedule that was 100 per cent better than the opponent's game before the Harvard game and it was largely due to the super condition of the Princeton squad and the lessons learned in the Notre Dame game that Princeton was able to win Harvard with a 34 to 6 victory.

Family Health Grading Plan Called a "Big Idea"
In the January number of the Pictorial Review an article appears entitled, "Kansas Has a Big Idea" it tells in detail the part taken by Kansas in its efforts to have the Arkansas Barkhounds, Leporborn and Jersey.
In conclusion the article reads, "The Kansas group seems to have proved that to understand the child and do justice to him it is necessary to understand his family back of him and that this movement is therefore the logical next step in the child-health movement.
Kansas is a pioneer in the work but since she has set the good example, many other states have followed in her footsteps. Mrs. Mary Mills wrote that the Kansas University Horace Brown Sieber of the "University" originated the "Better Babies" contest at the Iowa State fair in 1911. The idea of scoring the entire family also originated with the "Better Babies" campaign.
"The professional people of Kansas have given unanticipated of these time to make the examinations, making the examinations. These records and examinations are not only of value from a scientific point of view, but have much value in positive health.
An K. O, T. C, slogan contest is now in progress between the members of the local R. O, T. C, unit.

The slogan should be placed in the center of the coffered. The picture and the rules regarding content can be seen on the R, O, T, C bulletin board in Fowler schools.
"It couldn't be done, but he did it." These lines are familiar to us all. But why repeat them now? What new discovery has been made? What new deed has been accomplished! Just ask a certain freeclef-faced senior girl these questions and she will be ready with an instant response.
Why shouldn't she be? Lemon juices, double-strength ointhe, buttermilk—she has tried them all in her life, but still has the freewheel persist. But at last the encouraging words have been uttered. A supposedly same main located somewhere on Massachusetts street are assured her new warty breast by a foreigner the numerous brown spots across her nose and forehead.
You see, it was just this way; the aforesaid sorcel girl found it necessary to have her picture taken for the Jahwacker. Upon receipt of her prots, she was caused to remark, "Oh! I can't see my face for the freckles." Then it was that the life-size photo photographer said, "Oh! don't worry about the freckles, miss, I'll take them off."
