TWO TALLY REPLY

TWO tALif hbftf
AS the return to the field
doomed, Leahy observed. you
know you're letting down the
greatest fighter in Notre Dame $
history. don't you? ?"
The Irish reply was two touch
downs they scored TO cancel the
Seahawk margin and take the
lead. knocking the Iowans from
the unbeaten ranks In the first
half. nothing had worked Every
thing seemed 20 react for the
Hawks.
For the first time this year
the Irish lost the toss 10 start
the game. There were heart
breaking fumbles and mistakes
that petilla- karN--tePF-aa-tae-T4r-
binary team but. they were cru
sading out there tins afternoon
and the final score showed what
fighters can do.
II was J. Frederick Farley, a
brother of Bill. who starred here
a couple Of years ago. that pro-
vided the margin. A freshman
from Parkersburg. W. Va, he
booted the points after touch
downs that won for Notre Dame.
Notre Dame. by virtue OF ITS
victory, can with plenty OF argu-
ment Law claim 10 the champion
ship of the United States. Notre
Dame has one more game. that
with Great Lakes Naval Training
Station next Saturday at the
home of the sailors.
Notre Dame, by virtue Of IT'S Ia
10 IL victory over the SeahawkS
can with plenty OF argument lay
clam TO the championship Of the
United State Natre Dame has
one more game. that with Great
likes Naval Training Station
Il Saturday Al the home Of the
Sdalors.
Notre Dame roared from behind
twice. once 10 tie the SeahawkS
and then 10 pass them and win.
But that wasn't all The Irish
gave up the ball on a tumble
shortly after their winning touch
down and had TO be AT their best
10 smother the scoring efforts Of
the visitors.
TOUGHEST FOR IRISH
II was the toughest game of the
season for the Irish. During a
major portion of the contest they
were outplayed. When the chips
were down. however. they had il
like the true champions always
have il and one point was as good
as million in the final tall. sheet.
The Seahawks suffered a heart
breaking loss in the last few min
utes when Dick Todd was injured
and left the game on stretcher,
The hard-Srnashing halfback from
the Washington Redskins was a
thorn in the side OF the Irish all
afternoon. His brilliant punting
in the first period set up the first
touchdown. and he carried the
ball most of the way IN the
second.
Had Todd been m the lineup IN
those last few minutes when a
tumble gave the ball 10 tho Sea-
hawks in the shadow of the Notre
Dame goal post the result might
have been different
For the first time this season
the men Of Leshy ran up against
a line as good as their own and
maybe a shade better. Vince
Banonis. former center from the
University of Detroit, was their
standout. He backed up the line
and damned up play after play
as the Irish tried to get their
high scoring machine into action.
= CAME THE DAY
Since Angelo Bertelli left the
Irish have been having trouble
with points after touchdown So
all week long Farley drilled.
Missed goals didn't mean much in
those games with high scores, but
teahy knew there'd come a day
and today IL came.
Bernard McGarry tried both of

other bit the upright and -caIomed
