Pere Antoine Mo­ reau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross. The Apostolic Process is studying the facts in the case of a dying man who put himself under the protection of Father Moreau and was "miraculously" cured after the doctors had pronounced his gangrene medically incurable. The man who experienced the "mir­ acle" is Herbert Theriot. He was given a relic, which included a piece of Father Moreau's bone, by Sister Frances, su­ perior of St. John's Academy in Lafay­ ette. He kissed the relic, placed it on the infected incision and held a picture of Father Moreau in his hands. His condf- tion was reported to improve immediate­ ly and shortly thereafter doctors said he was out of danger.

1949 Home Season Ends

The final home football game of the year brought the season to a close in a memorable way. Those who have been at Notre Dame for four years have a hard time remembering a weekend that equalled it, save, perhaps, for the Army game weekend in 1947. The thing which made it extra special was the return of the 1924 football squad: the Four Horsemen and the Seven Mules. They inspired this year's team to play a mighty game against the Trojans of Southern California, and inspired the student body to cheer the Irish all the way.

On the whole it has been a wonderful season to remember. The Indiana, Tulane and Iowa weekends were all great. Everyone at No­ tre Dame agrees that there is nothing like them and grads will tell you that their like cannot be found on any other campus in the country. It is not the "Scholastic's" intention to get verbose, but it believes that home football weekends, such as this last one, is but one of the things that make living at Notre Dame such a privilege. Wrapped in a Band-made star, the 1924 team receives honors.

This program is being presented to the stu­ dents and faculty by the "Slavonic Club. There have been many special concerts and programs of Chopin's works this year, since 1949 marks the centenary of the Polish patriot-composer's death. Mr. Mathes has had an enviable ca­ reer both as a concert artist and as a teacher. He studied theory, piano, and organ in the Royal Academy in Buda­ pest, Hungary, which is also the alma mater of such famous names in the world of music as Ormandy, Sigeti, and Dohnanyi. Outstanding on a long list of artistic achievements was Mr. Mathes' appointment as court pianist and instructor by the late Queen Marie of Romania. Since he has become a resident of the United States Mr. Mathes has con­ tinued to give concerts and teach com­ position.

Tomorrow afternoon the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame invade the Cotton Bowl at Dallas for a battle royal with the Mustangs of Southern Methodist University. Coach Matty Bell's Souther­ ners will be out to bring about another Bull Run at the expanse of their North­ ern visitors. How successful the Ponies uill be is very dubious for they are at­ tempting to do what the last 37 oppo­ nents of Frank Leahy's green-clad army- have been unable to do—push Notre Dame into the loss column. The Mus­ tangs, on the other hand, enter the com­ bat with a five, three, one record for ^^^^^^^^^^^ the season.

By RAY FITZGERALD

A framed photograph hangs above the elbow-benders in one of South Bend's better known refreshment stands. The photo is captioned "football's per­ fect play," and shows an athlete named Wilke, all dressed up in a Notre Dame uniform, running to a touchdowm be- liind wonderful blocking. The man throwing the key block which made this play "perfect" is Lai-ry Danbom, probably the top fullback in the coun­ try in 1936. The anecdote above isn't intended as eiTcQiltagement to young fullbacks to throw key blocks so that their pictures will hang above bars for all to admire. It merely shows the almost indispens­ able kind of guy Larry Danbom was, on a team that included men like Andy Pilney, Wajme Milner, Mike Layden, Leon Hart, Emil Sitko and Jim Martin posing for the cameramen before one of their Steve Miller, Bob Wilke and Andy biggest games.
