WIN, LOSE OR
DNAV By FRANCIS sTANN
Kuhorich-He Asked for 1t

EVEN AT THEIR WORST the Redskins must call up
fond memories for Kuharich whose Dame team
has lost unprecedented in and figures
to drop No. this against Iowa Terry Brennan was
fired by Notre Dame for losing four one season. Just
before Christmas. too. 4 g. ~t& 4 4
Kuharich wanted the Notre Dame Job very much He
was born and raised in South Bend and went school at
Notre Dame doing It the hard way by waiting on tables
and setting basketball seats and summer stencng
numbers all Of the 50 600 seats in the stadium And
course playing guard
Joe is very dedicated guy and when he was offered
Brennans job he went to George Marshall with his hat
in his hand and begged to be released his contract
with the Redskins II wouldn't accept college job at West
Point or Annapolis anywhere else Kuharich said "but
this is my school,"
Il wouldn't let my coach 60 If it were any other
college, Marshall declared piouSy, his chin pointing in
the direction of South Bend "But since it's Notre
Dame .."
WHAT'S WRONG WITH the Fighting Irish is anybody's
guess Some critics. including Notre Damers that Moose
KrauSe the athletic director isn't doing Job Others don't
think Kuharch is all the coach he cracked up to be-
despite Joe remark perhaps regretted that having
coached the Chicago Cardinals and Redskins like
having masters degree" '
Joe also has commented the injuries his squad has
suffered His critics retor that Knute Rocknes Frank
Leahys troops subject to injury too They weren't
all made OF iron They lost straight either
So much for Notre Dame and the 1921 loss to Miami
Saturday There's gloom laced with JOY elsewhere
the college Minnesota unbeaen and rated the No
team in the country upended by Purdue, four-me
loser and there's telling what team will be this
weeks No. Maybe Missouri, perhaps Mississippi
1t avorful week end in the college set to say
the least There the big rhubarb at Chapel HILL where
pass interference called North Carolina. Then
Marylands quarterback Dale Betty faxed beautifully
to Fuback Pat Dras and crossed the goal that the
officials admitted they following the wrong man.
Drass. who didn't get over the line.
THERE WAS ANOTHER weird-o at Auburn. Ala, when
Georgia lost a 9-6 decision to Auburn There wasn't q
touchdown scored 2O5- pound pre-med student named
Ed Dyas kicked three field goals for Auburn giving him IL
for the year. and 16 for his college Durward Pen
nngton of Georgia able to kick only two field goals
and so that the margin.
The Washington HuSkes all but elected themselves
one of the Rose Bowl teams by licking California, 277
although the Huskies aren't nationally ranked and
Navy underdog winner in earlier thriller against
Washington coaSted predicted against hapless Virginia
The Cavaliers facing Joe Belno like field Of
plaers in $200 running against Bald Eagle Belno
of isn't the entire Navy team but he's large part
Of and may be long time before his achievements
matched. The Winchester Bullet romped for four touch
downs against Virginia before Coach Wayne Hardin merci
fully removed him.
PERHAPS THE STOPPER was Alabamas 1915 win
Georgia Tech The coreboard clock showed when
Dick oDe. an end kicked field goal for Alabama to win
It, Incidentally 1t the first field goal of the for
the Crimson Tide.
What is interesting however is that prior to the game
Coach Bobby Dodd Of Georgia Tech had that
would ask the Southeastern Conference and the NCAA for
permission to extend the Alabama game to sudden
DEATH extra period if the regulation four quarters resulted
in tie.
Alabama's coach, Paul Bryant, went along with the
project Obviously both coaches knew going to be
rout it going to be close.
No "sudden-death" approval necessary as it
developed by the thnnes margins But had there been
fifth" quarter it would have called up the National
Football Leagues title showdown couple of years ago
when the Baltimore Colts ultimately beat the New York
Giants.
