The "Bugeye" (HA mascot) show will last about an hour and is free to the public. "It's like Saturday Night Live, except funnier," Hurley said. He compared the group to "The State," a Harvard-originated comedy group that used to have a show on MTV. Humor Artists originated in the spring of 1995, when then-graduate student Mark Marino addressed the need for a comedy group. Hurley clarified the distinction between HA and the other campus comedy group Irish Accent. "The difference is that Irish Accent is a improv group. We are primarily a pre-prepared skit group that offers free entertainment. There is no other group like it." Some of the .skits in this year's show include a football game between the dining hall ladies and members of the Notre Dame football team; an interview with Jim Colletto and a James Bond film. Hurley describes the show as "good, usually clean fun." It centers on "poking fun at campus happening, and abstract scenarios," ~--- ~ ~-- J

By DAN LUZIETTI and TOM STUDEBAKER Spons Writers

If there is a backbone to the Notre Dame Bengal Bouts, it is Jack Mooney. Mooney was born in South Bend in 1912 and has been around boxing and Bengal Bouters all his life. "Right now I am 50, 60, 70, 80, no, 85 years old, and I have been out here at Notre Dame with the Bengal Bouts for 52 years helping out." Mooney said. "I have been a referee, a judge, a trainer, a water-boy, and anything they ever needed." Though Mooney played sandlot football in grade school, he soon took to the sport of box­ ing which was tremendously popular in the 1920's. lie and his friends would put on a box­ ing match behind the old Studebaker factory. "At noon, when the people came out, we would put on a boxing match and come away with about 15 cents apiece for three rounds," Mooney recalls. He participated in his first boxing match at the old South Bend YMCA at the age of 13. Four years later, Mooney won the first of his two con­ secutive 147-pound titles of the Golden Gloves Boxing championships of South Bend. In his attempt to three-peat, Mooney fondly recalls, "I was beat by a farmer from Granger, Indiana ... and he became a millionaire." Mooney also traveled to the 1929 National Golden Gloves tournament in Chicago. Participants would box twice in one night for two nights, with a championship bout coming with only one days rest. He won the first two bouts but came up short in his third fight. In 1930, Mooney came home and worked in the Studebaker factory where he would contin­ ue working for over 30 years. He helped manu­ facture a car called the "Rockne," named after a close personal friend and Notre Dame football legend. "When I was a kid, I used to sell papers. Every time I walked by Union Station, Rockne would buy a paper from me. He would give me 50 cents for .a three cent paper. That was the biggest thrill that I ever got," Mooney remem­ bers. Rockne always showed Mooney respect. To this day, Mooney is trying to thank him for his kindness. He regularly goes to Rockne's grave to trim the grass and place a few flowers. While working for Studebaker, Mooney was a member of the famous Studebaker boxing team. It was boxing on this team that produced one of his favorite memories. "In about 1931. I fought in the Studebaker tournament championship. I had to fight three different guys, and guess what, I won the cham­ pionship of Studebaker and I was declared as a hero," Mooney recollects. "Life Magazine took my picture and gave me 50 bucks. They put my picture in the magazine advertising Studebaker cars." In 1938, at the age of 26, Mooney became a professional boxer. On two different occasions, Mooney was on the same fight card as a young Joe Louis and a young Tony Zale. After about five years as a professional boxer, Mooney hung up his gloves to become an assis­ tant to the Notre Dame Bengal Bouts program. For more than 50 years, Mooney has been somewhere between a best friend, father or grandfather to each of the 100 or so Bengal Bouters who participate in the Notre Dame box­ ing tournament annually. Mooney has taught thousands of kids the art of boxing. He instructs young men on how to handle both physical and mental problems they see MOONEY I page 4 2 3
