The Scholastic MOTHER mki mm DIME TEAM

December 11, 1953 Notre Dame, Ind.

To OUR READERS:

When eleven members of Notre Dame's 1953 pigskin squad lined up for the first whistle down in Norman, Oklahoma, earUer this Fall, they were opening up the sixty- fifth season of Irish competition iri intercollegiate football. And they were conscious of the fact too, that their predecessors—^in the 64 seasons before them—had built a reputation for Notre Dame as one of the oldest and most consistently hard-to-beat football powers in" the nation. They carried quite a number of impressive laurels into that first game with them: Notre Dame teams had brought the National Championship back to South Bend seven different times—a feat no other school had equalled in the long history of collegiate football. Notre Dame teams had also won six Western Championship titles, and they had amassed a total of 17 undefeated seasons—ten of them, untied. They had established a record with modem college football's longest string of unbeaten games at 39. The Fighting Irish had also turned out more Ail-Americans than any other college or university in the nation. The prowess of Gipp, Crowley and Brown previewed the performances of the immortal four horsemen and their rampage that set the nation's gridirons afire in the early 1920s. Since then, the roster has grown with the names of men hke Carideo, Brill, Connor, Lujack, Fischer and Hart. This year's team has done it again—in performances and personalities. They have plowed through a suicidal schedule with what we consider as a powerful precision that matches any previous team in Notre Dame's history. At times, when the odds were stacked, they produced the stuff that has earned for them the national recog­ nition which they justly deserve. Although not every one of them got All-American honors, every one of them played like it. You've noticed, for example, that Notre Dame seldom shook one of its backs loose for long touchdown sprints this season; but they tore opposing teams to shreds with steady power plays and tricky tosses until they finally hit pay dirt. This is the story of teamwork ... the stor)' that always ends well. Looking back, we can truthfully say that it has been another great season. Most people say that this year's team will go down in the record books as one of our greatest. Only time will tell. One thing we do know, however, is that it was made up of the same stuff 64 teams before it had—the will to win. We're again reminded of the words former Irish captain Jack Alessandrini once said at a pep rally before a game with Pittsburgh: "We can't be beat when we won't be beat." It's the same principle that wins National Championships and molds AU- Americans. As Knute Rockne put it: "I don't want a man to go in there to die gamely—I want a man to go in there fighting to live!" Notre Dame plays so hard—not because she hates to lose, but because she loves to win.

With Heap and Worden doing the bulk of the lugging, the Irish increased their margin to 14 points in seven plays. Worden cut over the right side from the nine for the tally, and Mav­ raides converted with three minutes left in the quarter. But with a little over five minutes left in the game, the feared Sooner "long strike" materialized as Merill Green ran one of Lattner's punts back 60 yards for a touchdown.

Early in the third quarter the Boiler- makei-s threatened to get back in the ball game. After an exchange of fum­ bles by Schmaling and Lattner, Purdue was seemingly stalled on its own 18 with third and seven. However, Schma­ ling suddenly steamed over the middle with a two man convoy, and only a defensive gem by Heap prevented the big fullback from going the distance. Heap ginidgingly but wisely gave ground and slowed up the charge enough to allow Guglielmi to nab Schmaling from behind after a 45 yard journey to the ND 37. From here Evans passed to Brock who received it nicely at his hiding place on the Irish 10 and raced into the end zone—all to no avail, for a holding penalty set the Boilermakers back to their own 48.

Another determined Irish bid was in the making at the opening of the sec­ ond stanza with Notre Dame resting on the visitors' 19-yard stripe, after a combination of Guglielmi's passing and Lattner and Worden's alternate line thrusts had brought the Irish from deep in their own homeland. But the drive fell short when Leahy ushered in his powerful—^but shy—shock troops, and understudy fullback Tom McHugh fumbled to Tech's Bobby Sherman on the seven. The Yellow Jackets came out of the locker room for the second half fired up with the idea of making a ball game of it. Tech knotted the score after seven hectic minutes of razzle-dazzle play in the third period, but Notre Dame shattered Tech hopes by bounc­ ing right back with two tallies within five minutes after their visitors had scored. Georgia Tech picked up their first touchdown when Wade Mitchell inter­ cepted Ralph Guglielmi's aerial on his 30, and then generalled his troops into the Irish end zone 12 plays later. On fourth down, with three yards separat­ ing him from pay dirt, Mitchell sneaked across, and finished the task with a placement to tie up the ball game, 7-7.

28 The Scholastic DON PENZA, Notre Dame's 1953 cap­ tain and first string right.end, was a fine, steady ball player this season, but more important than that, he was a leader and an inspiration to his teana- mates and to all those who were close to Notre Dame. Don received comparatively little publicity during the year, but it's ex­ ceedingly doubtful if anyone would deny the fact that he was one of the biggest reasons why the Irish were the best college football team in the na­ tion. Extremely modest and self-de­ manding, Don always played the game to the hilt. He carried the great re­ sponsibility of being Notre Dame's captain with great dignity and honor. Don is one of nine Penza children, six boys and three girls. The Penzas live in Kenosha, "Wis. Don attended St. Catherine's High school in Eacine, Wis., where he played three years of varsity football and captained the team in his senior year. In 19-51, his sophomore year at Notre Dame, Don played second team of­ fensive end behind Jim MutscheUer and Chet Ostrowski. He played enough, how­ ever, to earn a monogram. In 19-52, Penza moved up to the first team of­ fensive end position. Though most of Notre Dame's pass plays go to the halfbacks, Don managed to prove him­ self a dependable receiver, nabbing several vital heaves. His diving catches in last year's Navy and North Caro­ lina games were particularly notable. This season, Penza caught seven passes for 113 yards. Probably his best attribute, however, is his blocking. A blocker usually gets little or no credit but anyone who watched Penza closely this year could not help but notice the sharpness and precision of his blocks. One of his most noticeable blocks came in- the Penn game' when he and Art Hunter helped to shake John Lattner loose on a 92-yard Mckoff retuj:n. Don led the team in the all-impor­ tant department of recovering oppo­ nent's fumbles with five, and at one time during the season, had a streak of seven straight wins of the pre-game toss of the coin. Penza received mention on several AU-American and all-sectional teams. He was named to the first string AU- American on the New York Neivs' team. Captain • • • Moose Krause, ND's athletic director, while speaking at the Champions Ball on Dec. 5, summed up the esteem in which Notre Dame holds its 1953 team and captain when he said, "Not only Don Penza is this team the greatest Notre Dame team I've ever seen, but Don Penza is one of the greatest captains to ever represent Notre Dame in football.'' -

In fact, a check of the rec­ ords will show a striking resemblance between Leahy's career and that of Eockne's. In 11 seasons, Leahy-coached Notre Dame teams have won 87 games, lost. 11 and tied nine for an .888 percentage excluding ties. Eockne's first 11 Notre Dame teams won 86, lost 12 and tied five for a percentage of .878. Leahy started his football career at Notre Dame as a freshman in 1927. He saw brief varsity action at center in 1928 and was switched to tackle the following year. He played first string that season on an undefeated Eockne team. His playing days were cut short however when he injured his knee in the 1930 pre-season practice sessions. He did not play at all that year. The following fall, Leahy was signed as line coach at Georgetown under the late Tommy Mills. Jim Crow­ ley was so impressed with the play of Leahy's linemen in the 1931 Michigan State game that he hired him in 1932. Leahy went along with Crowley to Fordham in '33 where he stayed till 1939. During this stretch, Leahy, as line coach helped develop one of foot­ ball's all-time great defensive lines, the Seven Blocks of Granite. After the 1938 season, Leahy was named head coach at Boston college.

w EDWARD W. KRAUSE, better known as "Moose," is the boss man of Notre Dame sports. As Director of Athletics, one of his jobs is going around the country arranging the Irish schedule. His smoothness in public relations has proved an asset to Notre Dame time and time again. Krause, who has been the athletic director since 1949, pre­ viously coached the Irish basketball squad, but in 1951 turned his full attention to the Directorship. Krause holds the distinction of being one of the few Fighting Irish to capture AU-American honors in two major sports. During his four years at Notre Dame, Krause gained AU-American and All-Midwest honors in football for the '31, '32, and '33 campaigns, and also matched his prowess on the gridiron by being named Ail-American on the national cage squad for three years. He appeared in every ND starting football lineup from the second game of the 1931 season till he graduated. Out of 540 possible minutes, "Moose" played 521. After his graduation, "Moose" was appointed Athletic Direc­ tor and coach of all sports at St. Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota. After completing five successful years at the helm, he switched to a line coaching job at Holy Cross before return­ ing to his Alma Mater in 1942 to serve as line coach. After the death of Irish basketball mentor George Keogan that win­ ter, Krause was appointed to fill the vacancy. He served with the Marines during the Second World War, and resumed his coaching chores in 1946. He helped Leahy as line coach when the Irish captured two straight National Championships.

BOB CAHILL, Notre Dame's ticket manager, has one of the most demanding and nerve-racking positions on campus. Filling Notre Dame stadium to its 56,000-seat capacity, supplying Alumni with game ducats, handling fan demands for out-of- town games, is the seemingly endless job for Cahill and his staif of 14. He took over as ticket manager in 1941 after a seven-year stint as assistant to Elmer Layden, fonner athletic director and head football coach. Since 1941, Cahill has estimated that more than six million pasteboards have passed through his hands, a number substan­ tially increased this year with a record ten virtual sellouts. Summer vacations are lit­ erally non-existent for the ND ticketman who begins his job in early June. Graduated from Notre Dame's College of Commerce in 1934, he planned a career in foreign mar­ keting, which goal he realized only for three years after he left the University, when he served as an officer in the U. S. Navy.

HERB JONES directs a staff of more than 2,000 parking lot attendants, ushers, vendors, ticket takers and sellers, equipment buyers and athletic accountants as the ultimate authority regulating the business and financial affairs of the Athletic -Department. When snow storms in the East grounded flights out of the Midwest, and when 100-degree weather in the Southwest necessitated extra light jersies, it was Jones who secured transportation via rail and who stocked the. flimsy slip­ overs. These and similar jobs have been part of his every day routine at Notre Dame since the Rockne era. He is one of the best liked and most respected men in college athletic circles. Jones followed two brothers to Notre Dame, During his undergraduate days, he worked as "secretary for Rockne, joining the Athletic De­ partment as Assistant Business Manager upon his graduation in 1927. He held this position until 1940, when he assumed his present post.

It is through Callahan's arduous work that the leading publications receive all available information about Irish athletic squads, material which produces some of the greatest sports stars throughout the country. Another job of the Publicity Offic6 is the jurisdiction of the Notre Dame pressbox, considered one of the nation's best. Every Saturday of home games, sportswriters, announcers, television men and other football enthusiasts crowd the box, and it is up to Callahan to have all necessary material available for these men. Every day a constant flow of mail streams in requesting pictures, aU-time records, autographs and statistics, leaving the office with a job that requires accJurate and handy files.
