NCOnClnueQ from rage CID
as Is other seniors, ended their
collegiate careers as Leahy
showed 35 players into the
contest.
The second time the Irish had
the ball Lattner passed to Dan
Shannon for SIS yards to set up
Worden's eventual touchdown
smash of one yard. 1t was only
the second pass Lattner had
tossed this season and it set the
tempo for more surprises that
kept a crowd of 55.522 excited.
After Notre Dame had churned
83 yards only to be stopped on
the 2 and pushed back to the
S to lose the ball on downs, the |
Irish scored their second touch
down at the outset of the Sec
ond quarter on a freak play. |
Duane Mutt, fading back from
the SMU to pass, failed to get
the ball away. Paul MatZ tackled
him and the ball squirted into
the end zone where Tackle Frank
Varrichione fell on it for a
touchdown.
Three minutes later, the Irish
smashed 68 yards to score again,
Ralph Guglielmi passing "a
yards to Lattner, who raced |
across without a defender within |
IS yards of him.
The Irish built up a 27-0 lead |
In the first four minutes of the
third on a 61-yard surge in 10
plays. Lattner and Worden al
ternated in pounding IL, IL, 6
and 5 yards. Finally on fourth
down Guglielmi latteraled to
Lattner, who went wide around
end for 5 yards and the score.
After SINUS Hal O'Brien re-
covered an Irish tumble by Soph-
more Dick Fitzgerald at Mid
field, the Mustangs scored their
first touchdown on a spectacular
pass play from Mutt to Doyle Nix
that covered A yards.
This so irritated the Irish that
they punched out two more
touchdowns before the third
ended. They drove 81 yards in
five plays, featuring Guglielmi's
42-yard pass to Halfback Don
Schaefer. Worden plunged the
last yard.
Then Guard Ray Lemek stole
Nuts aerial and returned it five
yards to the SNfU 40. Guglielmi
speared Dan Shannon for 81 and
Worden again finally ended the
thrust with a 3-yard smash.
Some horse play followed.
Menil Mavraides, who had kicked
four extra points for the Irish,
was getting ready to try for
fifth. Art Hunter, senior tackle,
showed him aside for a try at
it himself. He scuffed the ball
high into the air like a golfer
taking too much divot and then
returned to the bench where his
mates were laughing it up.

Southern Methodist, failing to
cope with the many lateral
passes by Irish backs who en-
joyed f1icking the ball to a team
mate just as they were about
to be tackled. added a touch
down in the fourth.
Quarterback Sam StollenWerck
pitched Al to Alex Litowkin and
wound up the passing barrage
with a 19-yard scoring toss to
Ray Berry.

carries and Lattner added "a in
