Jack Chevigny John Edward " Jack " Chevigny ( August 14 , 1906 – February 19 , 1945 ) was an American football player , coach , and United States Marine Corps officer who was killed in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II . He was a star player for Knute Rockne ' s Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the late 1920s . Chevigny later served as the head coach of the NFL ' s Chicago Cardinals in 1932 and the head football coach at the University of Texas at Austin from 1934 to 1936 . Part of the great legend of Notre Dame football was that Chevigny scored the winning touchdown against Army after Knute Rockne ’ s famous " Win One for the Gipper " halftime speech , and that Chevigny said " That ' s one for the Gipper , " as he crossed the goal with the winning score . Knute Rockne had related the details in an autobiography published in Collier ' s magazine in 1930 . Actually , Chevigny scored the tying touchdown against Army , to even the score 6 – 6 , and Johnny O ' Brien ran for the 12 – 6 gamewinner , although both players were inspired by Rockne ' s speech . Chevigny played for Notre Dame from 1926 to 1928 and later was an assistant coach under Rockne . After Rockne ' s death in 1931 , the Hammond , Indiana native left Notre Dame and coached the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL to a 2 – 6 – 2 record in 1932 . He left to become head coach at St . Edward ' s University , a sister school of Notre Dame , in Austin , Texas . So , when the University of Texas began looking for a new coach in 1934 , Chevigny was conveniently in the same city . Chevigny ' s greatest moment came in just the second game of his career , when he directed a 7 – 6 victory over his alma mater , Notre Dame . The team finished the season at 7 – 2 – 1 . His 1935 team didn ' t fare as well and Chevigny finished his Texas coaching career with a 13 – 14 – 2 record in three seasons , and was the only Texas head coach in history to have a losing record overall . Chevigny died as a United States Marine Corps first lieutenant on the first day of the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II . Another legend surrounding Chevigny is that , after the 1934 victory , he had been presented a fountain pen with the inscription " To Jack Chevigny , a Notre Dame boy who beat Notre Dame , " and that on September 2 , 1945 , the pen was discovered in the hands of one of the Japanese envoys at the surrender of Japan on the USS " Missouri " , and that the inscription was changed to read , " To Jack Chevigny , a Notre Dame boy who gave his life for his country in the spirit of old Notre Dame . " The legend , which surfaced in conjunction with the 1945 anniversary of the 1928 game , has been a part of Notre Dame lore ever since .
