NOtre Dame Had
Rough Shedding
BY Lou b
Times Sports Editor

Faithful Notre Dame fans we're just that this
season-faithful. These fans displayed patience and
understanding although the Irish ~gridders just man.
aged to skim through with a $3.50 SIS record.
At the outset of the season, even the most partl-
san Notre Dame fans realized that it wasn't going to
be a horn-tooting, banner campaign. Few felt that the
Irish gridderS would have a winning season although
there certainly were hopes for one. Best estimates
called for a SIS record.
JUST n MAS THERE such a lack of optimism?
There we're several reasons-all of them good.
First of all, ND. Coach Joe kuharich had only
eleven Iettermen from the 1853 team which posted Q
81 record under Coach Terry Brennan. This was the
smallest number of refurnees since World War II.
Secondly, Notre Danes opposition again was
tough. And these opponents are all the tougher when
you consider everyone just aches for a victory over
traditionssteeped Notre Dame.
OF THE TEN OPPONENTS, only California ended
up with a losing record-tWo wins and eight losses.
The Irish defeated California 28-6.
Another reason for the lack Of optimism was the
Notre Dame casualty list
Quarterback George Izo and haIfbaek Red Mack
two of Nofre Danes biggest offensive guns-were
injured before The season began. lzo was only a part
time performer until the last two games when the Irish
staged their two big upse's over Southern California
and Iowa.
Although he played in five games, Mack never
was able to start a contest.
Two other top players also we're sidelined by in
juries. Myron PottloS, a acknowledgement, ended his
season in the third game because of a knee injury. Jim
Crotty, fullback and linebacker, sat out five games be-
cause of a sprained ankle. Both we're toprated de-
fensive men.
Thus, it isn't too difficult to see why Notre Dame
didn't "win over all" 1t is also easy to see why the
Notre Dame football scene appears to be tranquil dis
pite the $3.50 season.
REVIEWING THE NoTRE DAME sEAsoN quick
ly: the Irish doWned North Carolina, 28-8; Purdue top
ped ND. 28-7; Notre Dame came back to stop Cali
fornia, 28-6 but lost successfully to Michigan State,
1910 and to Northwestern 1924; the Irish rebounded
to sink Navy, 1922, but lost again to Georgia Tech,
14-10, and to Pittsburgh, 1918. Notre Dame then
staged a tremendous finish by stopping Iowa, 20-19,
and turning in a major upset by defeating Southern
California, 1916. g.

Looking back to the Sept. Is column, we went
out on a limb in picking the Big Ten champion. This
columnist, who missed in two previous seasons, felt
there would be ~cochampions. Picked were Wisconsin
and Purdue.
However, this writer closed that column with the
statement he favored Wisconsin slightly.
Understand now, we aren't Dragging, but WiScon-
sin did win the title. Purdue, however, finished in a
third place tic with Illinois.

It's written on White House

His is a brief one-and by

That Office, once held by

His letter was brief-no gob-
bledegook-and to the point.
1t, however contained some
budgetary considerations, pre-
Sumably with an eye to the
administrations anti-inf1ation
policies. James indicated Santa
might keep the cost to a bare
minimum.
This is what he wrote:

And he finished with his full
name.
James folded his letter and
placed it inside a White House
envelope. But he took mis- pen
Gil and scratched out THE

the upper left-hand corner. He
wrote his own home address
on the back of the envelope.

agreement he signed before the
restaurant brought him over
