The last time a bonfire rally Avas staged at Notre Dame, prior to the '45 Illinois game, the Irish went in under dogs and won. Speaking on WND's "Intei-view of the Week" on Tuesday night, Dick McDonald, a member of the original Dillon group, explained how the thing started. His cohorts thought that the campus needed something special in the way of rallies for tomorrow's crucial contest. They began making signs and took the bonfire suggestion to University authorities. He stated that both the rally organi zers and the University hoped that ND men would not stage any impromptu rallies off-campus. Irish rootei"s, he said, will need all the noise and energy they can muster for the impending battle-of- the-year in Notre Dame Stadium to morrow.
