This 32 page newspaper has pre-game reporting on the Notre Dame vs. USC football game which was the last collegiate game Knute Rockne would be a part of prior to his fatal airplane crash.

Page 23 has a two column heading that reads: "Fighting Irish Are Confident; Trojans Slip Away to Rest" with subhead: "Both Teams in Great Shape, and Terrific Battle Is Expected Tomorrow"

Not only was this Knute's Rockne's last collegiate game but it was the game that pushed Notre Dame over the top as National Champions for that year as well.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day are within the issue.
