  • 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. Although Rockne wasn't an Ohio native, A few famed horseman of Notre Dame are pictured on their steeds, from left, Knute ·Rockne, his wife he had Ohio connections as did two mem­ Bonnie Skiles Rockne, Father John Cavanaugh of Leetonia, Ray "Iron Eich" Eichenlaub and Arthur B.
