Loyalty Pays Off
Leohy Finds UnseIfish Devotion
To Team Makes Irish Great

the fall; that is. that our team was
one Of the finest. AS our Of
fensive backfield entered the game
with the score tied,* the men were
relaxed and yet very anxious. Emil
Sitko carried the ball on the ma
jority of plays in the scoring drive
and yet he was the first man back
to the huddle after each play.
It definitely was q game that
caused our team to display its
greatness and what pleased me
most was the fact that following
the contest, Grover Walker, SINUS
outstanding linebacker who played
most Of the game, said that Notre
Dame was one of the cleanest
teams he ever played against.
Things like that make me feel
that the long hours connected
with coaching have not been
wasted.
Coaching Aides Praised.
No football team ever is any
better than its assistant coaches
and the fact that Notre Dame
has been undefeated for four years
is a direct reflection on one Of
the best group Of assistant coach
es in America. Early in the season
when it became quite noticeable
that additional work was needed
in order to exploit completely the
best potentialities of our squad
members, it was decided to split
the staff into two groups. De-
termining which group did the best
job would be impossible because
both did much more than even
our fondeSt hopes could visualize.
The defensive strategy as out
lined by Joe McArdle, Bill Early
and Bob Mcbride proved one OF
the best in Notre Dame history
while our offense under Bernie
Crimmins, John Druze and Walter
Ziemba caused our team to be
dangerous from any point on the
field.
Without fear of contradiction
from any one, I should like to state
that the main reason why Notre
Dame has been fortunate enough
to 60 through four seasons with
out a loss Is because all Of the as
sistant coaches and all Of the
players have been willing to pay
the price for PERFECTION.
Such an enviable situation
certainly makes the job Of head
coach most enjoyable.
