them from achieving their 400th
victory.
A 65-yard scoring play, coming
after six minutes of the third
quarter, nullifled Notre Danes
|opening-period lead and brought
the first opening game sellout
crowd in Penn's history to its feet.
More than $4,000 jammed Frank
lin Field in bright sunshine. drawn
by the twin magnetism Of the
Irish and a Penn team rated in
preseason estimates as the best in
the East.
In 1881 Penn was a 49-0 victim
of Notre Dame in South Bend and
in 1880, Knute Rockne's last team
routed Penn here in its own sta
dium, 1920. Until today these
were the only games between the
schools.
Little of Everything.
Today's game was one that had
a little of everything, including
hard running, fine passing and
kicking and outstanding play by
the two lines. Only five fumbles
by Penn and four by the Irish
marred the near-perfection of the
contest, although on two occasions
the Quakers' field generalship
seemed overly cautious.
Frank Leahy, starting his 10th
season as Notre Dame coach,
brought a group Of highly-rated
backs with him and they lived up
to their notices. But matching
Johnny Lattner, Neil Worden,
Jack Whelan, Tom Carey, Dave
Flood, Ralph Guglielmi and Joe
Heap were some excellent Penn
backs, notably Glenn Adams, Ed
Binkoski, Bill Deuber, Bob Evans
and Walt Hynoski.
What surprised most observers,
however, was the excellence of the
two lines. Only once was Notre
Dame able to stage a sustained
march and that was in the first
quarter when the Irish moved 80
yards to score. If anything, Notre
Danes line resisted even more
stubbornly. holding after Penn
had first downs on the 3, 10 and
15-yard lines, although a tumble
helped the Irish on the latter oc-
caSion.
Pass Play Days Highlight.
The play of the day was a for
ward pass, Adams to End Ed
Bell, that came on first down after
a Notre Dame punt sailed out on
Penn's 35. Bell. a sprinter best
known for his defensive ability,
outran the Irish secondary, took
Adams perfect pass in the clear,
and ran 81 yards.
There were agonizing moments
for Penn followers when Carl Sem
pier, another end, kicked for the
extra point. From some parts of
the stands, the kick looked doubt
full and when no official raised his
arms the Penn Section groaned.
