  INDIANA IS EASY FOR NOTRE DAME RockneIess RambIers Add to TWo.Year Win Streak With $50 Victory. ~ LOOMINGTON, Ind, October 3. K -Notre Danes Warriors re- turned triumphantly to the foot ball wars today, with finish ing drive that would have brought words OF praise from the wizard Rockne. Picking up their two-year thread Of victory where it was left of, the flghting Irish came through the final half in spectacular style TO whip the In diana eleven, IS to o, in the first game for Notre Dame since Rockne was killed in an airplane disaster. The 1881 Notre Dame machine was turned loose with a show OF skill. dash and scoring power comparable to the best Of the Rockne regime. Three full teams Of these blue jersied 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 the tallies, the first on spectacular 70-yard dash by Joe SheetetSki and the second on an 1l-yard gallop by Schwartz all-America halfback. Indiana, with q big. powerful line and two sets of fast backs, held the Rockneless ramblers scoreless in the first period and yielded only one touch down, on Sheetetski’s brilliant run in the first half. Notre Dame rolled up Is first downs while Indiana registered only 3, including one on a penalty. The Irish were superior by the wide margin OF 437 yards to 81 for their rivals. The vic tors made very little use Of their famous passing attack, heaving only 10 aerials and completing only 2. The Notre Dame line, led by Capt. Yarr at center, was a stone wall any time Indiana threatened and there was little notice able difference in defensive strength when the substitutes took over the task. 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. Cnvamnarv
