PASSES COMPLETED AND YARDAGE tillate By ALAN GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) Bloomington opi Notre Dames warriors, in blue and gold costume as glittering as the warm sun 'of an Indian summer day, returned triumphantly to the football wars Saturday with a finishing drive that would have brought words of praise from 'the wizard Rockne. Picking up their two-year thread of victory where it was-left off, the fighting Irish came through the final half In spectacular style to whip the strong Indiana university eleven, 25 to 0, In the first game for Notre Dame since Rcckne was killed in an airplane disaster. On an afternoon in Indianas picturesque southern hills, where it was hot enough for most of the crowd of 18,000 spectators to swelter in shirt sleeves, the 1951 Notre Dame machine was turned loose with a show of skill, dash and scoring power comparable to the best of the Rockne regime. If the electric personality of Rockne was missing, the wizards spirit nevertheless carried on, and the players, many of them his own products, rallied after an uncertain start to uphold the best offensive traditions of the Notre 'Dame system. Mrs.

Rockne Sees Triumph Mrs. Rockne, the famous coach's widow, was there to see "her boys' score their first triumph under the new leadership of the Harper-Ander-eon-Chevigny regime at South Bend. Three full teams of these blue jer-sied warriors in golden-hued silk pants trotted into action against the state university. All three arrays succeeded in scoring at least one touchdown, and the first string team opened the way for two tallies, the first on a spectacular 70-yard dash by Joe Sheetetski, of Bellaire, Ohio, and the second on an 11-yard gallop by Marehmont Schwartz, all-America halfback and pride of Bay St. Louis, Miss.

Indiana Battles Gamely Indiana, with a powerful line and two sets of fast backs, held the Rockne-less Ramblers scoreless in the first period and yielded only one touchdown, on Sheetetskis brilliant run in the first half. For the time, it was troublesome going for the national champions. Their' blocking was not up to par, and their generalship seemed faulty. They took command of the game, however, upon the entrance of a youthful quarterback named Emmett Murphy, of East Chicago, In the second quarter, and steadily applied the scoring pressure for the rest of the game. The second team, featuring a back-field of Koken, Brancbeau, Melin-kovich and Jacswhich, twice pounded deep into Indiana territory in the third period before Tommy Gorman, burly center grabbed an opposing forward pass and dashed 35 yards for a touchdown.

With a two-touchdown lead, and the game safely stowed away, senior Coach Anderson sent his regulars back for another workout. They responded this time with a 63-yard drive, climaxed by Schwartz's touchdown. As a linal gesture, the third stringers romped into action and swept 85 yards for the final touchdown. They actually covered 100 yards, for it was a 15-yard penalty that Carl Cronin, of Chicago, broke of ftackle and raced 35 yards to score. Notre Dame rolled up 18 first downs while Indiana registered only three, including one on a penalty.

The Irish were superior by the wide margin of 437 yards gained to 54 for their rivals. The victors made very little use of their famous passing attack, heaving only 10 aerials and completing only two. The Notre Dame line, led by the redoubtable Captain Tom Yarr at center, was a stone wall any time Indiana threatened, and there was little noticeable difference in defensive strengtn when the substitutes took over the forward jobs. The closest the losers came to scoring was when Quarterback V. Dauer missed a place kick from the 38-yard line In the opening quarter.

Northwestern Subdues Cornhuskers 19 to 7 I sin backs returned again to the war and a pass Srhneller to R-bhoIz r-i suited in the first Badger touchdown. R-bholz mlssM the try for the extra point. Rebholz in Sensational TmcMeva Pnk The seqpnd Badger score was the result of a sensational 71 yard run bv Russ Rebholz. who drove through left tackle and thn dashed to the right on the first play following the kickoff in the second period. The Badgers threatened several times, but penalties.

85 yards all told, kept them out of position. Rebholz again missed the try from placement. Twice the Badgers were turned back inside tbe North Dakota State's 20 yard line in the third period and onre at the start cf the final period. BP on Score on Serie of Pae Throwing caution to the wind and uncorking an accurate passing attack, the Bunns swept down the field late in the final period. Lonsbrouch tossing to Jacobson -for 27 yards.

Bunt to Seliger for 16. and Bunt to Lons-hrough for 22. before the t-michdown pass. Bunt to McKay for 17 yards, resulted tn the visitor touch down. Schoenfelder missed the first try for the extra point, but Buckets Ooldenberg was offside and he had another chance, which he made.

He would have had a third if necessary as Goldenbcrg was oflside on the second attempt also. Kranhold Sadly Missed The Badger first string line was sadly weakened by the absence of Harvey Kranhold. running mate of Greg Kabat, at guard. Kranhold was not used In either game, giving rise to rumors that he was ineligible, but nothing definite regarding his rase could be learned. Coach Thistle-thwaite having left home for the night.

While Russ Rebholz earned wy the honors for this game, tbe work of Brbhy Schiller at halfhafk wonhv of commendation. He performed welt for his first varsity gsrne. while also showed possibilities.

A1 Thomas weakened in the final innings and Frasier relieved him to shut off a dangerous Cub rally. With the tying run on second and two out in the ninth, he ended the game by striking out Billy Herman. Thomas and Frasier allowed the Cubs but seven hits, holding the National leaguers collection of safeties for the four games to 23. Watwoods double, a sacrifice by Cissell and Jolleys single gave the White Sox their first run in the initial inning. All the Cub scorea came in the last two Innings.

In the eighth they counted two on Clssells error of English's hot roller. Herman's wolk. Cuyler's single and a long fly by Bell, which sent Herman across. Hartnett's single and English's double gave the Cubs their final run. AVe have seen the Badgers and they are and.they arent.

They looked good at times yesterday and again they were sad. They were sad on pass defense against 'North Dakota State and against a team such as Purdue they would have been soundly beaten had the pair met yesterday. There is still time to correct the weaknesses in this respect, but it must be done in a hurry else every team that the Badgers face will take to the air and it will be too bad for the Badgers. 4 The Badgers showed an ex-Vl'llent defense on attack save the passes and in this L'pect their work was greatly appreciated by your correspondent. The fast moving Bison backs were halted on practically every attempt by the Badger defense and Bradley was helpless.

Speed merchants aplenty were flashed by the Badgers in both the Bradley and North Dakota games. In the first tilt with Bradley, Ellicker and Linfor twisted and squirmed for extra yardage and lugged the pigskin in a manner that was distinctly pleasing. But despite the nifty running of this pair, there was another on the field yesterday that caught my eye and had all the scouts in the press talking. Clair Strain "as the lad that focused all 4eyes by his sterling line driving. He started-fast and picked his holes nicely.

They were not huge gaping holes when he started, but he timed his plunges right and gave the lineman a chance to open up. Strain was class all over and scouts from Penn, Minnesota, Purdue, Illinois, Chicago and Auburn went lid over his performance. They all asked the same question. 4 4 Whats that little 177 pound fellow' doing on the second team The -weight being mentioned to show that they didnt for a moment believe that he tipped the beam at any such weight and were not falling for the official weight. They all estimated Strains weight at 195, or thereabouts.

Thats for the scouts to decide. His official weight as released by the football coaches is 177, and we'll have to stick to that, even though we may raise a quizzical eyebrow, rfHuss Rebholz showed his time ability as a ball carrier, and his 71-yard dash for a touchdown was the brilliant bit of work that saved Wisconsin from a defeat at the hands of the Bisons. 4 4 4 The Bisons had a big team with a line averaging 200 pounds from end to end, according to Coach Finnegan. They had a sweet tackle in Schoenfelder, who would make any club in the land. Nor was Loughbrough any slouch of a ball carrier.

4 The Badger first string line failed to look as impressive as it might have because of the absence of Harvey Kranhold from the lineup. Kranhold was kept out of the lineup in both games, giving your correspondent an idea that we hope is wrong and which we will rimiss without further dis-jTssion.

At the start of the second period, the Wildcats started another advance and appeared about to score another touchdown. But it was wrecked after moving forward 33 yards to Nebraska's 20 yard line, when Meehan fumbled and Corwin Hulbert recovered on Nebraska's 26 yard line. Sauer got eight yards in two plays, then sailed a pass to Norris Nesmith, his left end. The Husker end struggled to North-western's four yard line before 'Rentner dragged him down. Three shots at the line gained two yards and on the fourth down, Sauer tossed a pass to Hubert Boswell over the Wildcat goal line.

The play caught the Wildcats utterly by surprise and no one was near Boswell when he caught the ball. Masterson added the extra point. Northwestern continued to nut-gain the Huckers until the -finish, but fumbles and a letdown In the work of the line kept them from doing anything -more than mildly threatening.

UP) Northwestern turned loose just enough of its heralded offensive power in the first period Saturday to crush Nebraskas brawny Cornhuskers, 19 to 7, in the inaugural game of the Wildcats' season. Northwestern ripped Into Nebraska with savage fury at the outset and before the Comhuskero could regain their poise, three touchdowns had been rushed over.

Nebraska rallied in great style 'and held the Wildcats almost on even terms the rest of the way, but that opening blast left them numb and bewildered with too much of a handicap to overcome. The heavyweight Nebraska line was torn apart during those early minutes and before replacements could be rushed into action, the damage had been done and Northwestern settled back to an experimental game. Rentner, Meenan Ruin Nebraska Ernest "Pug Rentner, Northwestern's right halfback, was the wedge that split Nebraska apart, and what he did not do, a big sophomore, Ken Meenan, and a fast accurate charging Wildcat line, accomplished. Northwestern received the kickoff and four slashes Into the Husker line by Rentner and Meenan carried the ball 40 yards to Nebraskas 35-yard line when a triple pass from Quarterback George Potter to Meenan to Rentner snarled the Cornhuskers up, and Rentner raceS over for the first score. Potter place kicked the goal.

And befoe the Crimson eleven could get set, Rentner had scored again. Nebraska elected to kick off and Northwestern had the ball on Its own 35-yard line. Tug Races 65 Yards Reb Russell, the Wildcats battering ram, who once went to Nebraska to school, was stopped cold on two plays. Rentner took the ball, started wide around Nebraska's left end, cut back through tackle and was on his way. He slipped out of the grasp of two Cornhuskers, then his interference formed and he trotted over to finish a 65-yard jaunt.

Potter failed to place kick for the extra point. Play hardly was under way again before the third and final Northwestern touchdown was shoved over. The Huskers received the kickoff and tried to catch Northwestern by surprise with a pass. It was no surprise for Meenan swooped in, grabbed Sauer's short toss over renter and hulled 28 yards over the goal line. Potter again failed to place for the other point.
