As a matter of fact, the whole Illinois team is noted for its punt-blocking ability. A crowd of 60,000 or more—a near sellout—is expected at Cham­ paign. This is the second time that Notre Dame and Illinois have ever met the first being October 8, 1898. The score then was 5-0 in favor of Noti'e Dame, the five points repre­ senting a field goal kicked by Half­ back Chuck Fleming from the 45- yard line, four minutes before the end of the game. This was the first field goal ever attempted in the Mid­ dle West, and was made by a left- footed kicker. On the squad at that time at Notre Dame were Father Farley, rector of Sorin Hall, Chuck Fleming, and Angus McDonald, now president of ihe Southern Pacific Railroad. The center was John Egge- man, famous alumnus,who spoke at several "pep" meetings in the gym last fall, and who died during the past year.
