In the Alma game Coach Crowley, one of the famous "four horsemen" of Notre Dame showed that he was running true to the teachings of his former mentor, Coach Rockne, in that he presented a fast set of backs in Breen, Grove, Mon- nett, and Eliowitz.

Hudson, DeBaker, Tessmer, and Simrall worked in the backfield to- gether and later Goldsmith, East- man And Heston teamed up with Tessmer. ,The m a i n difficulty seemed to be in the lack of speed shown by the interference. The ball carriers were repeatedly slow- ed up by their own men obstruc- .ting the way. DeBaker and Heston showed a good deal of speed but had diffi- cult in cutting in behind their of- fense. At present the coaches are concentrating on blocking practice for all men with the 'backs doing the hardest work. A short period was also devoted to a series of short running passes with Hudson doing the heaving.
