A Normal year at the South Bend institution consists of nine or ten victories dependent on the number of games slated and a Zero in the loss column. There Are numerous individuals who sincerely believe All notre Dame students Are football players and that every year coach Frank Leahy must Elbow his Way through All americans every time he starts for the practice Field. Leahy in his sixth year at the Irish Helm wishes the Situa Tion was one third that promising. Admittedly Leahy is a crop ii Pessimist. However his notorious morbid views Are justified this year. It does t occur often but the truth is notre Dame is shy of Good Talent. Not since 1928 and 1933, of the Knute Rockne and hunk Andersen campaigns respectively have the Ramblers been so skimpy of Grid material. The Irish Are particularly weak at the tackle posts. Even in Green jerseys notre Dame s present tackles Mcgehee fallen Cifelli and Thomas fall far Short of resembling. Former Leahy students such As Rymkus Bruu White Ziggy Czarobski and George Connor. Loss of Johnny Lujack creates a situation Tough to remedy. Frank Tripucka Steps into the generalship Job but the task of replacing one of the greatest quarterbacks of All tune will be extremely difficult for trip who himself is a Fine passer and Ball handler.
