PSYCHOLOGIST
Editor's Note: This is the last of a;
series of stories deplcung the human )
side of Knute Rockne. Notre Dame's j
great coach.
Uv Lttren llsney !
I Associated Press Sports Writer) J
All-America reputations and selec- '
tlons mennt little to Knute Rockne.
HniT t) fact that more Notre I
Dame plavers were picked for such
honors in the last decade than thosa :
from anv other school.
Rocknes feeling doubtless was
caused by his realization that foot
ball after ail, was only a game. At
any raw. he never ceased to warn his
bevs that they were heroes while
winning, but quickly were forgotten
when the shouting died.
Always the dominant figure, Rockne
created in his players this same lack
cf awe In a great reputation their
own or those of opposing players. He
had innumerable ways of deflating
the ego cf a Notre Dame star.
Mostly he used the barb of wit.
because it was his theory that the
point cf a wisecrack sunk much j
deeper than a serious taiK.
A large share of Notre Dame's suc
cess of the gridiron undoubtedly can
be traced to this utter lack ot fear of
opposing stars.
Back in 1924. for instance, when
the "Four Horsemen" beat a great
Army team, the attack was centered
(specially on Garbisch, the Army All
America " center. With such remark?
ar "Surely that can't be the great Mr.
Garblech" as they plunged through
center, the "Horsemen" did nothing
tc improve the All-America center's
temper, and found a vulnerable spot
where Army thought itself strongest.
And It was Inevitable that observ
ers should turn to those rythmic
Notre Dame teams when All-Americr.
time relied around. Their records
made it mandatory, and as many
stars as were picked, there are coaber j
thmiiphnnt rh eoimtrv who have
seen their teams wrecked by Noire
Pame players obscured by the system.
As an example, many close observ
ers think Capt- Tom Conley of the
1930 team was the finest of the lot.
though little was heard of him
throughout the season.
Notre Dame teams under Rockne
first drew All-America attention in
1920. Just two years after Rockne. an
instructor in chemistry, succeeded
Walter Camp named George Gipp
j fullback on his first team of that
year. Gipp. who died shortly altar

all were selected for the All-America
first team during Rockne's reign, tak
ing In Camp's selection and the Asso
ciated Press consensus. Here's the
honor roll:
George Gipp, fullback, 1920.
Harry Siuhldreher. quarterback.
Arthur Boe ringer, center. 1926.
JohE Smith, guard. 1927.
Prank Caridec. quarterback. 1929.
Jack Cannon, guard. 1929.
Frank Carideo. quarterback. 1930.
Bert Metzger, guard. 1930.
Marehmont Schwartz, halfback.
19-30 .
As-ntert?lv a?r ae41t-lr4eadin-as
it dees all colleges for the period,
it is obvious that some of the best
fcotbalt players of their time were
emitted.
There are no tackles and no ends.
and only one halfback cn the first
eleven, mis pernaps is aue iu pr
to the fact that Notre Dame guards
ccmine out of the line to run inter
ference drew more attention than
their running mates at tackle, and to
tie fact that a great lot of Notre
Dame's end's time was taken up in
unspectacular but efficient blocking
and turning ends.
Picking the players to fill in these
hcles or to supplant seme of the All- '
America stars for an all-Notre Daau(
team cpens the way to an argument j
that no: even Rockne. had he so de- f
sired, cculd have settled to the satis- j
faction of ail. '
There are two All-America quar- i
terbacks. and the debate as to their
respective abilities can be waged in- f
definitelv. Rock ne always declined to
express an CDinicc. He pointed out
that Stuhldreher. the leader of the (
-Four Horsemen.' was a better passer j
; a brilliant tactician, whereas Carid" ;
was a better kicker and blocker. They j
were s'.roneiv contrasting types, bu: i
bcth got brilliant results with fine i
' support-
Gipp and Mircbmont Schwartz, the j
- 1&30 climax-carrier, would fit per- j
fectly into any backfieid. However. ;
there are a larce number of candt-
ides fcr a fourth selection, mclud- i

Gene Sarazen. who has made more
great "money finishes" In big league
;,-rlf competition than any other star
of the past decade, regrets that Bobby
Jcner didn't chocse to remain in open
competition one more year.
"It would have rounded things out
appropriately fcr Bobby to have
played his final open championship
this season at Inverness. Toledo,
where he first entered this tourna
ment in 1900," remarked Gene.
"That was a great year for a lot
jf young fellows. It marked the first
open for Jones. Leo Diesel. Johnny
Farrell and myself, all of us around
i8 to 20. It was also the first Ameri
can open for Tommy Armour, then
an amateur."
Diegel came close to making his
tory by winning this tournament,
winding up in a tie with Jock Hutch
mscn. Jack Burke and Harry Vardon
for second place, a stroke behind Ted
Hay of England. Leo three-putted
.wc successive greens on his last
round.
The odd part of subsequent golf
history is that Diegel never has come
;hat close to winning since then,
whereas Jones wen the open title four
times. Sarazen, Armour and Farrell
each once.
NEW SAND CLl'B
Since the official banishment of
the concave-faced sand wedge by the
United States Golf association. Sara
zen. among others, has experimented
with a new type, .flat-faced in order
to come within the scope of legality
for the time being, at least.
Gene gave me a demonstration of
its effectiveness in the traps of his
uew headquarters, the Lakevllle Golf
f.nd Country club at Great Neck, Long
island. He has been working for some
rime on the club, using one of the
exiled sand wedges for a foundation.
It pops the ball out of the sand
xith astonishing results. The under
flangs. a characteristic of the abol
ished type. of club, remains an im
"sorttmt (actor,. This prevents the club;
iaead from digging into the sand or
ground, at the same time insuring a
uniform trajectory.
"This club may be barred, too,"
Gene admitted, "but it certainly
comes within the law now. whether
anybody else likes it or not. It helped
me win that $o.0G0 at La Gorce.
"It's almost a pleasure to get into
r. trap, the way this wrks."

rowing honors at Poughkeepsie last
year, for the first time since 1915.

( Reading newspaper advertlsementa
, Albert, aged eight, came upon, the
, dazzling prospect of owning a splen-
did laree express wngon If only he
I could sell a certain number of jars
; of metal polish.
J A small amount of capital was
t necessary to start, and this he ob
I tained from his mother and in a few
:days the carton containing 24 Jars
j of polish arrived.
i Afternoons after school and Satur
j day mornings for weeks thereafter
wero spent in peddling the polish
j about the neighborhood. As the mon
ey accumulated, he put it into a par
Ulcular box In the bureau drawer,
j His elder brother, who watched
! the whole procedure with a superior
tye, took occasion to tease him when
sales were slow.
"You are going to get Into trouble.
One of these days you are going to
; want some oi mat money ana you
j are going to use It. and thm where
are you going to be when the com
1 pany writes and asks you where is
j the money for all of the polish they
i sent you?"
There were several tempting mo
ments when taking only a part of the
money would have produced certain
immediate satisfactions in the form
of a baseball, a pair of skates or a set
of darts.
But Albert resolutely turned his
back on all temptations. At the end
cf two months he sold the last Jrtr of
polish and sent in the entire sum of
money.
The wagon arrived, the reality quite
as splendid as the picture. Even big
brother could only admire and nu...
ly ask for a ride.
An enterprise thus independent!?
j undertaken and carried through de
