a position he had never played in his life; The Season's Schedule. in fact he had never played any place but in the backfield. On Thanksgiving Day the football season By nearly every critic in the State Miller of 1907 passed into Notre Dame football was picked as an all-Indiana centre, which history as one of the many successful years must prove but one thing: that in Coach on the gridiron. Early in the fall things Barry lay the brains that made Notre looked bad for the Varsity, and the pros­ Dame's winning team a possibility. Then, pects for a good team were anj^thing but too, the many chances that the team bright. But Coach Barry and Captain Callicrate set to work with what, they had, and gradually a team was developed that Notre Dame may be proud of. Little bj- little the team improved; game after game they played stronger, until the first game of the Indiana championship was -plaj^ed in Indianapolis against Indiana. The most lo3^al Notre Dame rooter dared not do more than hope for victory; and when the Varsit^^ played last year's champions to a standstill, holding Indiana to a nothing to nothing score, the hard work of Conch Barry and Captain Callicrate, received its reward. The next big game came with Purdue, and for the first time in several years Notre Dame gave the . Boilermakers a good clean trouncing, winning the game by the score of 17 to 0. The season ended with St. A^incent's College of Chicago, and Notre Dame finished the year without having lost one game, tieing two and win­ ning six, having scored a total of 137 points to 20. A large amount of credit for the showing made by the team this season must go to Coach Barry, for, as was said before, the material on hand w^hen the season.opened was about the poorest Notre Dame ever offered a football coach. Not that the men individually were incapable, for taken sep­ arately the men were good; but instead of a division of weight, making a line and backfield possible, nearly every man on the squad was underweight for a lineman, and those who had the weight had had little or no experience. For the backfield there COACH THOMAS BARRY. was a w^ealth of material, including such men as Captain Callicrate and Miller of underwent, especially in the line, displayed last year's Varsity.

And so we say to such men as Dugan, Beckman, Hague, Ditton, Diener, Duffy, Schmitt, Dionne, Murphy, Dillon, Boyle, Sprenger and Keefe, it is because of such as you that Notre Dame had a winning football team, and every student at Notre Dame returns to A-ou sincere thanks and gratitude.

Both men graduate in June, and although both good men, w^hose loss will be keenly felt, the chances for next year's team are the brightest that we have had in years.
