With three of this season's football games pointing toward sellouts and with 2600 annual tickets sold, prospects look bright for a successful gridiron season from the ticket seller's point of view. The H.A.A. announced yesterday that the Dartmouth game at Hanover, and the Holy Cross and Yale games at Soldiers Feld are certain to be successes at the gate...
Brawn with a liberal dash of experience is the recipe that's going to start Kirkland House off to a victory in the opener of the House gridiron circuit with a lighter Dunster House eleven this afternoon. At least that's the way Captain George Blanchard of the Deacon aggregation, who bolsters up the line at guard, views the situation...

So Leahy (rhymes with "may he") built a tower, 30 feet high and bristling with loudspeakers, smack in the middle of Notre Dame's three-gridiron practice field. From the tower he looks down on an operation that is as carefully calculated, as extremely complicated as the Studebaker assembly line in nearby South Bend...
...course, the foregoing wasn't strictly true in the first half. What with errant center passes flying around the gridiron, and fumbles and penalties tying up the Crimson every time they neared paydirt, it looked as though a count of 7-0 or 14-0 might be on the board when it was all over . . . The scoreboard, incidentally, still isn't functioning fully and a new, automatic, electric job is expected momentarily...
