Knute Rockne had had quite a year, and with a full ten game schedule and an eventful postseason charity game against the New York Giants behind him, his doctors ordered him to the Mayo Clinic for a thorough examination. These same doctors' orders caused him to miss a subsequent benefit game, this one matching a team of former Notre Dame players known as the "Knute Rockne All-Stars" against an equally formidable crew of of former All-Americans and other college players known as "Jimmy Phelan's West-South All-Stars." In Rockne's enforced absence, his team was coached by his assistant Notre Dame coach Hunk Anderson, a former star who was to replace Rockne after the latter's death just three months later. Fittingly, the Rockne All-Stars won the game, 20 to 7. The game was played in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
