" ' ex-colleglates for the first game of the kind ever arranged with the Notre Dame system, and the practice ses sions Indicate that forward passes will be abundant. Bernle Masterson of Nebraska, has been doing most of the throwing, with such prize sna toners as Joe Skladany of Pittsburg, Fred Canrlnus of St. Mary's, BUI Smith of Washington, Beattle Feathers of Ten nessee, and Ed Manske of Northwest ern, on the receiving end. Instead of the professional rule, which permits heaving the ball from anywhere behind the line of scrim mage, the college rule will be In ef fect. The latter regulation requires the passer to be at least five yards back of the scrimmage line when he lets go of the ball. As enthusiastic as any member of the professional squad is Red Grange, Illinois' famous "Galloping Ghost," who Is about to embark on his ninth full season of playing the game for money. HOW THEY.
