ITS FEEDING THAT MAKES * A FOOTBALL TEAM “FIGHT 99 J EDITOR'S NOTE In his eleven years at Notre Dame University, prior to 1930, Knute Rockne has turned out lour national championship teams and has seen 101 victories chalked up by the elevens under his guidance. Naturally, these men have been most carefully conditioned—for, no sport is more exacting in its demands upon stamina than is the par ticular brand of football played by Coach Rockne's ^Fighting Irish'*. We feel that Mr. Rockne's views on correct’eating may be copied profitably by all who must face the struggle of modern life —and surely no man is better able to speak authoritatively on this matter of outstanding im portance. j. Editob. Knute Rockne Famous coach of champion Notre Dame teams, pictured above. rilOO much emphasis cannot be & placed upon the importance of proper diet in the moulding of a football team. A coach is faced with the task not only of bringing his men to a fine fighting edge for any particular game, but also of being able to hold them at their physical best throughout an entire season. And I find that watching carefully over what my men put into their stomachs is even more important to assure a team’s con tinued fitness than is the usual re quired abstinence from smoking and other undermining habits. Mental alertness—so necessary in the Notre Dame system, where speed and the ability to think quick ly are stressed more than sheer weight—is directly dependent upon a healthy body. And a healthy physique, as we all know, is one that is kept free at all times from those accumulations of residual poisons that might have been elim inated through a carefully balanced diet. Unfortunately, very few persons seem to “have time’’ to study their diet. They must be educated and guided in what to eat and what not to eat. This is particularly true of those just entering upon college life; and thus we find the conscien tious coach faced with many duties other than teaching embryo stars the fundamentals of the game. Early in his experience he learns that he must emphasize the prin ciples of hygiene and balanced diet along with his instruction In foot ball lore—and see to It, personally, that every player has real apprecia tion of the needs of his body to en dure the strain of competition on the gridiron. Notre Dame football teams have been called the “eleven halfbacks”, because we do not stress weight In the line so much as we insist upon speed and the ability to think quickly. This physical stamina and Photos by P. (f A. mental alertness are promoted through strict adherence to funda mental dietary laws—and just as much stress, is placed upon this building of bodily energy as is given to playing instructions in our workouts on the field. At Notre Dame, both the scrubs and members of the varsity football team are held to a strict diet throughout the playing season. While this is not at all an unusual practice ,in collegiate athletics, we do believe that our system of con ditioning is largely responsible for the success of the “Fighting Irish”. In those special dishes which we prepare for our training table are included generous quantities of fruits, fibrous vegetables and those cereals that give a bulky “vegetable effect”. Thus the normal secretion- al activities of the athlete’s body are promoted, and his system kept free from accumulated residues that induce both mental and phys ical inertia. Such a careful and rigorous schedule of diet brings real results. And it is imperative for the suc cess of our teams that it should, for one physically weak or mentally sluggish man in the line creates a gap that may render the rest of hia team mates impotent to win. The chain and its weakest link—the team and its weakest player! The analogy is absolute. All other things being equal, the healthy football team is the win ning football team. And at Notre Dame we know it’s food that puts the “fight” into a squad. Carolina. The said tract of land South Carolina, containin?

C., Jan. 5.— According to an estimate based on the latest available statistics col lected by the F-ederal Office of Education, the enrollment in ele mentary schools for the year 1930 was approximately 21,370,000. The number of pupils enrolled in pub lic high schools was 4,030,000. The total number of teachers was 848,- 500; the number of schoolhouses, 254,200. School expenditures to taled $2,289,000,000. The number of pupils enrolled in private and paro chial elementary and secondary schools was 2,704,000. The declining birth rate in the United States is being felt in the schools. In an average group of 200 Americans in 1915, five chil dren were being born each year. In that same average group in 1928 less than four children were being born, according to statistical stud ies made by the Office of Educa tion. The problem of teacher supply and demand has become a matter of concern to school authorities. Ar apparent oversupply of teachers of ’iberal arts subjects and of ele mentary school work in some local ities has led to more exacting re quirements for entrance to teache* preparing institutions and in re quirements for certification. Mor than one-third of the teacher-pre paring institutions reported the ap plication of such special selective measures to entering students a* the requirement of superior high school scholarship, satisfactory in telligence scores, and high score" on achievement or other specia tests. A growing number of pro gressive cities and states now re quire a minimum of three year? above high school for certification of teachers. i More than a million persons, young and old, were enrolled in vo cational schools in 1930, including 170,000 who were learning to farm better, 250,000 to make better dustry, according to the report of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. This enrollment was largely in schools which received aid under the terms of the Na tional Vocational Education Act, and all of it in vocational courses homes, and 625,000 to do some Anri Ylrvn’tc specific job better in trade and in- . ® ^ 11U -UUll And Child’s Meal A very real problem for many mothers is teaching the baby to- eat—indeed in many homes this problem becomes a domestic trag edy repeated three times a day. organized and conducted under Every growing child requires a joint Federal and State vocational well-balanced diet of pieat, milk, education. eggs, green leafy vegetables and fruit, but how to get him to accept all of these foods is the despairing cry of many a mother. “These simple rules presented in I will be at the following places j a bulletin from the Massachusetts on dates named to take tax re-: Department of Mental Diseases turns for 1931, on all personal should be learned by heart by every Auditor’s Notice property, by owner, trustee, guard ian, administrator, attorney, agent, etc. Office, Jan. 1st to 13th.

Don’t give him anything be tween meals. Don’t talk of his likes and dis likes before him. Don’t allow others to talk of their likes and dislikes. Don’t talk about the child’s poor appetite. Don’t compare his appetite with other children’s. Don’t let him see that you worry about his eating. Don’t feed the child when he itf old enough to feed himself. Don’t coax or threaten or force him to eat. The southern limit of the cod and mackerel is Cape Hatteras.
