Yet why should there be so much gloom in his wigwam? Some there are who say that the Keed is through, that the wear and tear of the ring has sapped his vitality and left him but a shell of himself before he is even of voting age.

T will take a daring and & hardy P! prophet to pick any team to beat Notre Dame this year, unless the South Bend troubadours of touch- down glory run into & heavy casualty list. At their best they look to be two touchdowns: better than any team’ in the country. But whatever the mate- rial, it is & terriffic job to have a squad ready for Southern Methodist on Oc- tober 4, keep it facing one hard game after another, and still keep it ready each week end for Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Army and Southern California. There always is the chance that on one of these Saturdays the almost in- evitable off-day may suddenly turn up, where tired nerves suddenly refuse to operate as they should. And any one of these four teams mentioned is strong enough to toss a grenade into even }Nnm Dame in the midst of an off day. It may be that Notre Dame is so far in front of all opposition that no such dip will take place. But up to dnle there has been just one weakness in the South Bend legion. This has been the inability of Rockne's shock troops to measure even close to his regulars. After the first team had scored 38 points against Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh turned and scored 19 points against the Notre Dame reserves, The same re- serves were thrown against Indiana and co\llflnl score, 5o the regulars had to be called in . There can be no extensive rest for the regulars lnhnt Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Army and Southern California. ‘This makes the Notre Dame-Pennsyl- vania nme doubly interesting, for nia has the speed and power to bo‘x.{ur any opponent.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, November 6.— Having given the late Tex Rickard credit for making him heavyweight cham- pion, Gene Tunney resumes today his testimony in defense of the suit in which Timothy J. Mara, sports promoter, is seeking $500,- 000 of Tunney's earnings. He testified yesterday that Rickard promised in July, 1928, to make him champion of the world. This was & year before the drawing of the con- tract which Mara claims he made agreeing to 'Ive him 10 per cent of his earnings from the first fight with Jack Dempsey and 28 per cent of what he earned as champion. “I can make you champion of the world if you will along with :u Tunney quoted Rickard as say- Ing.

He reviewed his career from the time he was a $5 a_week errand boy, boxing evenings for the fun of it, through his war experiences, when as a member of the Marine C he became light- heavyweight champion of the A. E. P, until he entered the professional Ting and became a contender for the cham- pionship. Tunney contradicted Mara's testi mony that the latter arranged for hi: bout with Tom Gibbons in 1925, saying he signed for that bout with Charles A, Stoneman. He also testified Rickard offered him 4200000 to fight Harry Wills, a fight Mara said he tried to arrange. The defense claims Mara Was en- | gaged to clear the way with the N';" CUBS MAY SEEK RHEM.
