If the Irish can finish the season with victories over Southern California, Northwestern and Army, 1t will be hard to rank them second to any eleven in national rating. Notre Dame has q backfield compare BILE to the famous -Four HorSemen,” and line capable Of taking care OF itself. Southern California should be in good condition to meet Rocknes team, but will have to play much better than re- Gently If the Trojans expect to make 1t a close contest.
