A season that was spotted heavily with the frusti-ation of injuries, costly mistakes and inconsistency, finally ended in glory as a group of well-disciplined and hard hitting Irish gridders finished the year with smashing victories over Iowa and Southern California. ftist Finish. The return to the line-up of three injured players, George Izo, Jim Crotty and Clay Schulz, in the last two games of the year suddenly jelled Notre Dame into an eleven that clearly outplayed both Iowa and Southern Cal, two teams considered to be the best in the country. Against Iowa's specialty, offense, second best in the country, the Irish outgained them 426 yards to 200 yards. Against the Trojan's specialty, defense, where they had been holding their opponents to an average of 84.7 rushing yards per game, the Irish de fenders held use to 97 yards on the ground while gi-inding out 219 yards through the tough Trojan line. Notre Dame was obviously a far dif ferent football team on these last two Saturdays from the team that lost to Purdue 21-0, to Michigan State 19-0, to Georgia Tech 14-10 and to Pittsburgh 28-13. While the key to this sudden change in the Irish squad was certainly the return of injured players, this is not the whole answer. For the fii-st time all season Coach Kuharich was able to field two lines which he could alternate inter changeably without hurting the team's effectiveness. It took eight games for these linemen, many of whom were sophomores, to master their jobs and find the delicate balance between self- control and aggressiveness. New Offense installed. It must be remembered that Joe Kuharich and his staff took over the coaching duties only last spring. They brought with them an offense that was unfamiliar to all the players.

The frosh assembled on September 14 to start their indoctrination into college football. They were good students, eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible in the short time alloted for practice. How well they learned their lessons can only be ascei-tained from their performances in the next few years of varsity competition. Dedicated Men. Head frosh mentor Devore coached the yearling backfield while Coach Murphy tutored the linemen. These men probably never will receive the full credit they de- sei-ve for their tii'eless efforts in teaching the freshman. The freshman year for the college football player is a very im portant one. The transition from high school ball to the college game is an extremely difficult one for most freshmen. Thus one can easily see the need for top-flight freshman coach ing. Notre Dame is indeed fortunate in having two dedicated men such as coaches Devore and Murphy. As head Irish tac tician Joe Kuharich has said, "I can think of no man better suited to teach fi-eshmen the game of football than Hugh Devore." The same goes for John Mui-phy. Blocidng and Tackling. The frosh drilled endlessly on such fundamental things as blocking and tackling. Many a winning coach has stated that all good football is built on the strong foundation of good, crisp blocking and tackling. The linemen sharpened up by pushing the blocking sled all HUGH DEVORE over Cartier Field. They learned such things as proper means. Former head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles now works of pursuit on plays away from them and how to block for the passer. The backs sharpened their offensive arsenal in to ready freshman gridders for the rugged varsity passing drills, plus the usual drills in hard running and cut competition. ting. Some times the progfress was noticeable; at other times it was agonizingly slow. The important thing is that the frosh didn't lose faith in the coaches and more important, they didn't lose faith in their own ability. Monday Scrimmage. The highlight of each week was the scrimmage on Monday with the varsity reserves. The players who saw extensive action in the varsity game of the preced ing Saturday were usually given the day off after a short workout. Then the fun b^r^n as the freshmen and varsity reserves banged away at each other with no holds barred. In some of these sessions the frosh would be on defense for the entire workout. At other times they played both of fense and defense. Regardless of the situation, the frosh always gave a good account of themselves. They played with a real zeal and enthusiasm for contact. Thus they showed that they have what it takes to be a football player truly repre sentative of Notre Dame. The frosh have their share of boys who should give a good account of themselves in their upcoming varsity careers. Both the backfield and line boasts prospects who look like real fine football players. Good Quorteifoocks. The important quarterback slot has four outstanding prospects. Daryle Lamonica, Ed Rutkowsld, Eddie Eck and Norb Rasher rate special consideration here. Lamonica, a 6-2, 205-XK>under from Clovis, Calif., is the best passer of the bunch. Rutkowsld, from Kingston, Pa., measures 6-1, 195. He is rated the best runner of the freshmen signal callers. E]ck, 5-11, 165, is from Richmond, Va. Rasher is 6-1, 180 and played his high school ball at Cathedral Latin in Cleveland. Two fullbacks stood out for the yearlings. Ron Tocchini and Ron Crawford both are powerful runners who also block well. Thus they fulfill the requirements for a good fullback in the Notre Dame syston of attack. Tocchini is from San Francisco where he prepped at St. Ignatius High. He stands JOHN MURPHY 6-1, 212.
