FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/theifra 100 Years Ago Today, Notre Dame’s First Trip to West Point Made Football History By Jim Lefebvre [www.CoachForANation.com] On the afternoon of November 1, 1913, a pair of football teams representing all- male institutions of higher learning met on the Cullum Hall field at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. On that day, it is said, football changed forever. For 18 students from the University of Notre Dame, a small Catholic college in northern Indiana, the trip began two days earlier, when they boarded a day coach in downtown South Bend, headed East on the longest football trek ever attempted at a school that began playing the game 25 years earlier. The captain of the Notre Dame squad, 25-year-old Knute Kenneth Rockne, reflected on his journey of the previous two decades. As a five-year-old, he was a new immigrant from Norway, learning English at the spanking new Brentano Elementary School in an area recently annexed to Chicago. Now, he stood at the very heart of American pride – ready to take on the accomplished young men to represent an entire nation on the playing field.

  • Ame Fa E by Lois Firestone OTRE DAME WAS an OBSCURE College, Football-Wise, in the Early Years of the 1900S, but One Man Changed That, Both As a Player and a Coach
    U.S. POSTAGE BULK RATE PERMIT NO. 119 SALEM, OH 44460 'Iuescfay, 'J\{_ovem6er 4, 199 7 Section of 'Ifie Sa{em 'J\&ws • • 1 ns t1 to otr ame fa e By Lois Firestone OTRE DAME WAS AN OBSCURE college, football-wise, in the early years of the 1900s, but one man changed that, both as a player and a coach. It took awhile for Norwegian-born Knute Rockne to get to Notre Dame at all. For six years, he worked as a railroad brakeman to scrape enough money together for tuition. After he was enrolled at the Indiana uni­ versity, he played football under coach Jesse Harper who emphasized speed over power in his coaching - the Harper Formation. Rockne adapted the Harper pattern to his own teams. He popularized the forward pass, originally developed by The Fighting Irish to make up for their lack of muscle. His small but mighty backfield was nick­ named The Four Horsemen because of their devastating speed on the football field. They led Notre Dame to 29 victories in 31 games. ln 13 seasons, Rockne produced five unbeaten teams. Probably his severest test as a coach, and for Elmer Layden, Harry Stuldreher, Jim Crowley and Don Miller, the famous four, came in the 1925 Rose Bowl. The team had ended its season that year with a perfect record of nine straight triumphs, but Notre Dame was the under­ dog against Pop Warner's Stanford squad. His men came through for him, winning 27 to 10 at Pasadena.
