N0TRE DAME ADDS TECH TO ITS LIST Georgia Team Victimized by Brilliant Irishmen, IS to 7. IOWA TRIMS BUCKEYES Illinois and Chicago Win But Wisconsin and Minnesota Tie. IOWA TRIMS BUCKEYES south Bend. Ind, Oct. 27.-MOre than $1,000 fans arose on Cartier Field here Saturday and acclaimed the Irish mighty. Notre Dame. the wonder team OF the season. charged and smashed its way over the heavier squad from Georgia Tech to n brilliant 35-to-7 victory and the third straight inter-sectional win for the Irish. Last week Notre Dame humbled Princeton and the week before the Army fell before the flight ing Micks.” The Irish fought-they didn’t play They charged, they rim l. they hit hard and low. they swept their enemy before them like chaff before n cyclone. No single star appeared in this team of battlers. Each man played brilliant. mechanically perfect game. They shifted fast; they snapped the ball they ran alright interference. They moved as though the master hand OF knute Rockne, their. crafty coach, were lowering over each man on the team. The Spirit to Win. Yet above this form, above the sys- TEN and strategy, was til; fiery spirit of attack and conquest. Each man was q warrior; each fought apparently for the pure love of the battle. The stands stOrmed their applause as Miller raced across for the first touchdown. They went wild when another was scored and the delirim continued as lrishman after Irishman planted the ball down for extra points. Notre Dame showed in it’s game Sat urday it is one of the best teams that ever took the gridiron. The dopesters said the Irishers were stale from two hard trips to the East where they beat the Army and Princeton. They said Georgia Tech had a chance TO win. Not stopping to reckon with the dope. however, the mighty Irish charged their way to splendid victory. Tech never had n chance. After defeating the best in the East and South. only the teams of the Pa cific Coast stand between Notre Dame and virtual American championship. The Irish may now consider an offer to travel West and make a bid for the great honOrs. Tech Plays Hard. Only for an instant after the first whistle and for another moment in the third quarter. when they scored their only touchdown. did Tech show any strength. They played hard football around Wyckoff but were simply out classed by their lighter, faster foes. Lineups: Metre Dame. Georgia Tech. NoilIIS 49,.
