OUTH BEND. Ind, November
9-Notre Danes new wonder
team of foot ball, perched on the
- highest peak since the days of
its immortal Knute Rockne. fell into
the ruins of an almost unbelievable
14-to-7 defeat today.
Northwestern, a team that hasn't
been able to win more than one Big
Ten game this season and a university
that hasn't boasted of a triumph over
the fighting Irish in "a long years, ac-
complished the stunning upset amidst
a setting of rain and twilight before
$4,000 spectators who hardly realized
1t was true.
The Wildcats, kicked around and de-
feated three times in their own con-
ference. came through with a copyright
Notre Dame rally. Trailing by z
points-almost IA as one Irish touch
down was called back because of hold
ing-the Wildcats rushed back to tie
the score in the second period, added
another touchdown in the third, and
then stood like Gibraltar as the
fighting Irish" fought back with the
same full fury that brought them from
nowhere to victory over Ohio State
a week ago.
The defeat, scored by Northwestern's
"iron man" back field, Wally Cruice,
Steve 10th, Hugh Duvall and slippery
Don Heap, turned the happiest Notre
Dame foot ball dream in five years into
a nightmare. All hope of national
championship to match the last Rockne
model of 1880 and a place in the
Rose Bowl went tumbling.
Tangora Turns Tide.
DAUL TANGORA, a senior guard
from Washington, D. c., didn't push
over the winning touchdown-Heap did
that with 5-yard sprint-but he was
the hero of heroes in the Wildcat camp.
1t was Tangora, square, chinned
6-footer, who turned the tide. As
the fighting Irish fayed the center of
the line, Paul was sent in to stop them
and he did it. Then in the final period,
he pounced on Wally Fromhart,S
tumble to set in motion the winning
drive from the enemy's 30-yard stripe.
Tangora also recovered another tumble
on the Notre Dame 80 to give his mates
q chance, but they couldn't cash.
Heap, the platinum blond boy who
raced 43 yards to beat Illinois a week
ago, and Duval1. a stocky hard-driving
fullback, capitalized on the break pro-
duced by Tangora. Smashing the line,
most of the time behind Tangora,
they alternated until they reached
the 5-yard mark From there, Heap
skirted his right end behind brilliant
blocking to score the winning touch
down standing up. Duvall kicked his
second point after touchdown and
the damage was done.
Bill Shakespeare gave the Notre
Dame fans their final big thrill, as he
raced 48 yards minute later to North
Westerns 10, but the Wildcats held.
The game ended as Don Geyer hauled
down Shakespeares long, desperate
pass and raced it back 40 yards to
Notre Danes 30.
Ramblers Start Early.
THE game started out like another
Notre Dame victory march, after
big Don Elser's 13-yard dash over
the goal in the first period had been
nullif1ed by the holding penalty, Notre
Dame then marched Al yards on
10 plays to score with Mike Layden
and Elser smashing and spinning to
the 1-foot mark, from where From
hart sneaked over for the score
Fromhart kicked the extra point.
Coach Elmer Layden, at that point,
sent in his second stringers. but be-
fore he could rush back his first team
the Wildcats were on their way to the
tying touchdown. A 27-yard dash by
Heap to Notre Danes IA set off the
fireworks. In rushed the regulars.
but on fourth down, Cruice stepped
back to the 20 and tossed a high pass
over the line to Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, who doesn't like poetry
by the way. He jumped high into the
air and hauled it down for the score
Duvall kicked the extra point and
that's how it stood until the Wild
cats really got wild.
