It is a matter of record that he contemplated certain changes for the 1931 season that his death in March of that year made impossible of fulfillment. Rockne said, "You either progress or retrogress — you don't stand still." Layden developed the weak side at tack, using reverses off the framework Rockne left and that'he probably would have developed himself to meet over- shifting defenses. Layden ran more . plays to the left than was customary under Rockne, bringing out the running talents of Mike Layden, Bunny McCor- mick, Lou Zontini, Steve Juzwik, and others during his seven years. He in vented plays to meet shifting defenses. He revised blocking assignments on standard plays for the same reason. He departed, as did almost all Notre Dame coaches^ from the traditional seven-and- box or seven-and-diamond of Rock's day, using a 6-2-2-1, and last season, on occar sion, a 5-3-2-1.

Here are a few of the highlights that v/ill make the days memorable. I. The week-end is well adapted to a big attendance, with Memorial Day occurring on Friday, May 30. II. The Memorial Day Mass will probably be the Mass for Deceased Alumni, with added significance. III. On Friday, in keeping with the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the wishes of the University, and the demand of alumni, and in keeping with the nature of the holiday, a special alumni forum will be held, dedicated to discussion by able leaders, and discussion from the floor, of current political problems, with emphasis on their proper interpretations as Notre Dame teaches them. IV. Reunions this year indicate a high interest quotient. The Class of 1916 holds the spotlight, as the President's own Reunion. But heavier in numerical strength will be 1936, 193! and 1926, with 1921 a potential fourth. Classes of 1911 and 1906 have strong memberships, well represented even in the "off-years." Men of '01, '96 and '91 will complete in smaller but even more cherished gatherings the Reunion picture. V. Saturday morning will incorporate the now famous 1936-1931 Softball game. VI. Also on Saturday morning, 640 Seniors, one of Notre Dame's largest Classes, will march in cap and gown .for the Last Visit and the Class Day Exercises. VII. On Friday and on Saturday afternoons. Coach Jake Kline's nine will stage intersectional games on Cartier dia mond v/ith the University of California team. Vlll. And also on Saturday, v/henever the time seems best adapted, a second alumni forum, devoted to a discus sion of economic problems — labor, wages, investments, etc. — will be held, with faculty and alumni par ticipation. IX. On Saturday night, the Alumni Banquet in the University Dining Halls should reach a new peak, in program and attendance. X. Sunday, rumor indicates a program at the Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement, which will attract all who t can possibly attend. . •-'*'"!H. XI. At the instruction of the Board of Directors, based on growing alumni demand, a charge will be instituted for alumni, simply to help defray the substantial physical cost of alumni attendance at Commencement. It will probably take the form of a dollar a night for a room in the residence halls, and one dollar for the alumni banquet. Obviously, the charge is nominal to the point of covering bare costs, but it will relieve the sub stantial burden involved (last year's registration was almost 1,000) and at the same time will not place in the way of the young alumnus any real barrier to his attendance.
