I I I ( i George Gipp, one of the best players to grace the college fo By EMILY HOWALD I~I Assistant Scene Editor i I "Win one for the Gipper." We've all heard it. Some of us have said it. But do we really know the story behind Notre Dame's one and only George Gipp? Gipp played for the Notre Dame Football team from 1917 until his death in 1920. He played under Knute Rockne and also played centerfield for the Notre Dame baseball team and later the Chicago Cubs. Gipp grew up in Laurium, Mich. Although he never played high school football but was an avid participant in track, hockey, sandlot football and organized baseball. He initially went to Notre Dame to be a baseball player. Rockne discovered Gipp while he was goofing around with his friends, drop kicking footballs 70 yards. Rockne encouraged Gipp to play football as well as baseball and he grew to be one of Rockne's favorite players. Gipp had the physique of a star ath lete. He was 6-foot-2 and weighed 185 pounds, which Rockne described as "all bone and muscle." Gipp could run the 100 in 10.2 sec onds in full football pads. He ran for 2,341 yards and had 21 touchdowns in his career. He threw for 1,789 yards and eight scores, punted 96 times for 3,690 yards, returned 16 punts for 217 yards, returned 22 kickoffs for 454, picked off five passes and kicked 27 Few people realize that in 1935, Gipp's hometown of Laurium, Mich., located in the Upper Peninsula dedicated an impressive 15 fo PATs, which finished his career with by a park in George's memory. 156 points.

"I felt the thrill that comes to every coach when he knows it is his fate and his responsibility to handle unusual greatness ... the perfect performer who comes rarely more than once in a gen eration," Rockne said. "Gipp was one of the greatest. His kind comes once in every college generation." Gipp was respected by not only his coach, but his fellow teammates as well. j "George Gipp was the greatest athlete I have ever known. He will be forever be remembered as a friend, a student, I an athlete and a gentleman, for to know J him was to love him," said Frank '' Coughlin, captain of the 1920 Notre Dame football team. The Irish had a record of 27-2-3 in Gipp's four years and they were 23-2-2 when he played. They went 19-0-1 in his final 20 games. In Gipp's final two years, the Irish were undefeated and declared Champions of the West. Gipp's season appeared to end when he injured his shoulder in a game ver sus Indiana in the 1920 season. Rockne planned to withhold him from the game the following weekend on Nov. 20, 1920, against Northwestern, but because he became such a central fig ure of the Notre Dame team, the fans all Photo courtesy of www.lamb.archives.nd.edu cried "We want Gipp!

During that visit, Rockne made Gipp a promise for a future Notre Dame football team that would need his help. Then Gipp uttered the immortal words that now hang on a plaque in the Irish locker room. ''I've got to go, Rock. It's all right. I'm not afraid. Some time, Rock, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock. But I'll know about it, and I'll be happy," Gipp told to Rockne. Rockne did not have use those words until eight years later, against Army. The 1928 team was plagued with injuries and already had two losses under its belt. They had four wins, but Army was undefeated with six straight wins. Rockne felt that if the Irish could prevail against Army, then they may avoid a losing record. Rockne felt confident that he could rile the boys' emotions with the story of Gipp, and he prayed that their eager ness and passion could prevail. After the pre game warm-ups, he brought the team into the locker room and began to tell the story of Gipp, the Notre Dame Player who had died dur f ing his senior season, eight years ago.

College is a time of great transition. Four years of asking questions you never thought you would ask yourself. College is a time of trading in a child-! ike faith for a mature belief system that integrates faith, values, relationships, and vocation. Often students say, "I've always prayed these prayers before bed, but now they don't seem to "work" for me." The challenge here is to see that we ,, ;· are no longer eight and that maybe what worked during childhood needs to change as we have i changed. When we recognize that our relationship with God has changed, so too must our expres sion of that faith. God is there for us. We sometimes have to change the direction we are looking. What I realized in college was that I needed to speak with someone else about what God was doing in my life so I could find my bearings. ) For students abroad last semester, Campus life was not the same without you and we are glad r you are back among us. Past students returning to campus from overseas have sometimes found it a hard re-entry. We would like to encourage you to share your experience with those you meet so that our community may share in your great cultural experience. Some of you who were abroad also had the opportunity to work with our campus minister in Europe, Michael Downs, and had the opportu 'I nity to partake in retreats, service and faith-sharing groups. We hope you will seek out similar 'I opportunities while here on campus. If it appears as if we are only interested in the students who have gotten on board early in their college experience, that is a false perception. Each semester there are numerous opportunities for students to get involved in our programs on a one-time only or long-term basis. Campus Ministry is about reaching all students where they are and helping to build communities of faith that will help us become people of faith for a lifetime . ., Third Sunday of Ordinary Time < -- Basilica of the Sacred Heart Around Campus (every Sunday) Saturday Sunday 1:30 p.m. s:oo p.m. 7:oo p.m. s:oo p.m. 1o:oo a.m. Spanish Mass Law School Mass MBA Mass Rev.
