Athens, Ga., Oct, 24.—There is quite ‘a bit of talk being bandied about con- cerning the sad state of the far-flung Notre Dame system. I recently have read several articles saying that the famous system, intro- duced and developed by the immortal Knute Rockne, is going to seed, and that it won't be long until there will be no such thing. The true Notre Dame system went down in flaming plane on a Kansas prairie where Rockne met his death. All coaches taught the system by Rock are only poor imitations in car- trying on his creed, but there are plenty of good features and basic fundamentals about the system we can teach that will serve as a team’s attack and defense just as any other system. Just as Rockne realized the ulti- mate success with his system, so, I believe, he could have done with any other system. His personality, leader- ship, energy and imagination could have brought fame to any style of play, just as it did to the one that Jesse Harper inaugurated at Notre Dame about 1914. Alter Play Style Most of the Trish coaches have changed the general style of attack | * each year, although retaining the characteristic backfield shift of the system. I believe the so-called sys- tem is better than ever, and that the idea of its needing extraordinary ma- terial is the bunk. ‘There is every type of play run from this shifting backfield attack, and be- cause of this, it welcomes almost every type of football player. The idea that the comparatively new one-second stop rule for shifting ruined the offense is entirely errone- ous, The shift does not depend on momentum for its success. After the team shifts right or left, the defense must shift to meet its strength. If the defense does not do this, those strong side off-tackle plays and end runs should go. Systems Change True, the system has been changed, but I am sure that if Rockne were alive today he would be one of the first to develop possibilities of the for- mation to keep abreast or slightly ahead of the pack. Other systems have progressed dur- ing the last few years and the de-, OUT OUR WAY Valley ¢ City D Defeats _ Cooperstown Lynx Valley City, N.

D., Oct. 84.—Uni- are closely scrutinizing gridiron tory to determine if tne 1934 Sioux haven’t established some sort of a defensive record in the five games they have played and won to date. Aside from holding all except one opponent scoreless, the Nodaks have permitted but six first downs to be registered against them. Two of the University’s adversar- fes have been held without a single first down, while the most any team garnered is three. In their first appearance of the year, the Sioux conceded these three first downs to the Winnipeg All-Stars, whom they defeated 13-3. The three points tallied by the Winnipeg team Tesulted under Canadian football Tules, thus the Nodaks are virtually unscored upon this season. In defeating Omaha university, 14-0, the North Dakota defense func- tloned perfectly, allowirig the Cardi- nals not one a first down. South Dakota university, which was trounced 21-0, managed to register two first downs against the Sioux, while Morningside, which fell 25-0, was able to gain enough yardage for one. Saturday, on a three day rain- drenched turf, North Dakota defeat- ed South Dakota State, last year's conference champions, 6-0, and again the Sioux defense was at its peak, the Jackrabbits with not one a first down. This defensive record becomes all the more astounding when it is re- called that two sophomores, Louis Chumich and Martin Gainor, are holding down regular tackle berths. Playing their first year of varsity ball, these lads, along with Frits Fal- gren and Don Smart, ends, Bill Goe- thel and Al Sowl, guards filling in for the injured Arnold .Braverman and “Bunny Jim” Gehrke, and Capt. Len Sauer at center, havé been instru- mental in the impregnable defense ‘mustered by the university. But whether the Nodaks can con- tinue this amazing performance against the powerful North Dakota State team Saturday is highly doubt- ful. Even their most staunch rooters recognize the potent offense at North Dakota State’s command and expect the Bison to be the favorites to win the traditional battle.

The game against Grinnell the week vious, however, demonstrated an Towa State attack that should cause Plenty of preparation on the part of Nebraska for its tilt with Veekner’s boys Oct. 27. Flaunt Power In downing Grinnell, the Cyclones showed more, power than the vaunted Tommy Neal, and this kid quarterback is headed for high honors in the con- eralship was almost flawless, and caused Frank Carideo, Missouri coach who used to be somewhat of a field general at- Notre Dame, to remark that he was one of the most prom- ising youngsters he ever had seen. After his first squad had scored two touchdowns against Missouri, Coach Veekner rushed in nine reser- ves, almost a complete new team. This indicates that Iowa State has Plenty of reserve strength of a cali- ber which will in no way weaken the lineup. And any coach will tell you that is essential to the success of any football team, Bison-Nodak Battle To Decide I Loop Title Grand Forks, N.
