A man in a blue jersey of Notre Dame leaped into the icy air, plucked at a whirling brown oval and suddenly began to move away so fast that the throng was lifted bodily out of its frosty shudders and went winging along with him. screaming with excitement.

The man ran PS yards and touched the ball down. And that was all that beat West Foint by the score of 7 to 0 and kept the unbeaten, untied Nomads' record for the year inviolate. The runner was Jack Elder, the nameless something that has de One for the Army. Army received and resorted to New York.

Presently they lined up in squads, wheeled north and shot out an Army cheer, loud and sharp lika machine gun fire. The numerous Xotre Dam squad came capering across the frozen turf while they stood there and the cadets were sent up to the stands, plebes first at double quick to the quick music of their band. Then the Army team came out, felt the ground that was too hard for their cleats to grip and went in again. What sort of fight talk Bin Jones and Tom Lieb have gotten up for the occasion, it is hard to imagine. Rockne telephoned his team and warmed them with encouragement.

Then the guys stood around in the locker room, blowing on the fingers and cursing the game of football and waiting for the time to play. Army Wins Toss.
