By TED HAWKINS
Harry Edelson, veteran of two Notre Dame-Southern California games, will not be a member of the squad when it trots Into position tomorrow afternoon at Soldiers' fleld. This was decided yesterday morning by a consultation of Drs. Harold Van Metre, Leland Chapman, and E. C. Fishbaugh.

In place of the ill halfback, Dr. Chapman will take the reservation over the Western Air Express line and will accompany Dr. Van Metre eastward today. The physicians left at 5 a.m. and will arrive In Kansas City this evening in time to take the night
