  • Jerry Groom, All-American: Notre Dame Football, the Chicago Cardinals, and Coach Frank Leahy’S Lads
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 3 (2004) Jerry Groom, All-American: Notre Dame Football, the Chicago Cardinals, and Coach Frank Leahy’s Lads By: Jim Sargent Jerry Groom, the finest all-around football player to come from Des Moines, Iowa, won a great deal of gridiron recognition in the Hawkeye state, at the University of Notre Dame, and with the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League. But when Jerry reflects on his football achievements, his happiest memories remain with Notre Dame and legendary coach Frank Leahy. Inducted into the Iowa Sports Hall of Fame in 1983 and the College Football Hall of Fame eleven years later, Groom began winning major football honors as a high school junior in 1945. As a student at Dowling High, an all-male Catholic school in Des Moines, he started four straight years as center and linebacker. Jerry first lettered as a sophomore, and he won All-State honors during his junior and senior seasons. The versatile young man also played baseball, lettering three times in the diamond sport. Born on August 15, 1929, Jerry grew up in Catholic family that loved sports. He dreamed about playing football for Notre Dame, and he worked hard to make his dream come true. By the time he was a senior, many colleges were recruiting the 6’3” athlete who had grown to a then-huge 255 pounds. During Jerry’s senior year, the Dowling eleven lost one game but defeated all of the large Des Moines schools. After the season ended, Frank Leahy was invited to Dowling to be the featured speaker at the school’s football banquet.
