Big or small, Notre Dame, in your community, is pretty much what YOU mate it. Schedule the kind of party that will include EVERYONE. Ejlaborate entertainment is unnecessary; expense should be avoided. Rather a hundred men and a keg of beer than ten with champagne. Vital issues sometimes aren't attractive. Don't be afraid to RELAX. Enlist the cooperation of as many members as possible in making arrangements. Bulletin! N. FATHER O'DONNELL WILL BE AT N. D. SEND HIM A WORD OF D. GREETING AND CHEER! It's the last U.N.D. Night of his Presidency. Make it memorable! Name a publicity committee early. Identity is one of the major benefits. I nvite as many boys from your community prep schook as you can. Get as many pastors and schoolmen as your guests as circumstances permit. Have a whole and wholesome picture of N.D. presented to both alumni and guests. Take the Club's temperature this year. Let's eliminate both chilk and fever. Send word of the meeting to the ALUMNUS. Our Lady is our guest of honor. Many of our alumni are outstanding. See that this Night recognizes them. Every thing that does credit to a Notre Dame man reflects honor to Notre Dame. Hunt for the N.D. men who haven't been active and have them on hand.

  • 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.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 6 (1991) From One War to Another -- NFL Season of ‘46 by Stan Grosshandler In January of 1946 the NFL found the global war was over; but they were now in a new one. The AII-American Football Conference (AAFC) was for real, planned to field some teams in the fall, and had stolen about one hundred of their former players. A war that was to rage for four years was about to begin. Both the NFL and AAFC met in Chicago on January 5th. George Halas lobbied to do away with unlimited substitution and as usual the Papa Bear got his wish, well almost. The league voted to limit subs to three at a time. Over at the AAFC meeting Mal Stevens, the orthopedic surgeon turned football coach, announced the AAFC would hold a “Secret Draft” for only draft players who intended to join the pros. One week later NFL Commissioner Elmer Layden dropped a bomb on the league by resigning. Bert Bell was his immediate replacement. The next day the league approved the transfer of the champion Cleveland Rams to Los Angeles. The initial request for transfer had been denied; however when the league saw the AAFC was going to open shop in Los Angeles, they made a 180 degree turn and gave Dan Reeves permission to switch. On a freezing December day the previous year, the Rams had won the title over the Redskins by the margin of two points. Early in the game Redskin immortal Sammy Baugh had attempted a pass which hit the goal posts and bounded back to him in the end zone.

An alumni-coached team in an alumni-administered college must always advance alumni interest and enthusiasm. When it is accompanied by victories, as in the 1938 season, naturally both are intensified. And when, in defeat, as in the ultimate reversal at Southern California, appear those things deeper than victory, which Notre Dame has always taught, and which informed American sportsmanship under the leadership of Knute K. Rockne, '14, then alumni everywhere rejoice. The football season of 1938 has produced—and nothing more complimentary could be said—another company of Notre Dame men who take their places with '88, '03, '09, '24, '29, '30,, and other Notre Dame immortals beloved but less sung.
