And why?
Because the spirit Of Notre Dame. the spirit Of
South Bend the spirit to fight to the end against
the greatest odds won triumphant victory in
great athletic clash on the athletic records of the
university. IT is true football victory over the
United states Military academy FOOTBALL team will
not be entered for the game itself scoreless
tie but a far great victory won. victory Of
courage which win be remembered long after scores
Of various athletic trumphs are forgotten
From the strictly athletic point of view, the Army
was expected 20 win. Its team made ur OF
seasoned and mature veterans and IL was most gem

ball machines this season has produced.
on the other hand Notre Dame was represented
by a younger lighter and more inexperienced team.
But in one respect It would concede nothing to
anybody and that one respect was courage. And
courage won.

that this team of inexperienced youths invaded the

OF glory that could have been enhanced only by an
actual athletic victory. 1t was accident TWO weeks
ago that the same team went TO Georgia ana crush

ranked with those universities OF the nation whose

Notre Danes athletic supremacy is merely an
other tribute 20 the right kind Of leadership that
kind OF leadership which does not recognize any

Notre Danes athletic victories have been attained
