Well, Nebraska didn't start its
second half century of football
with a victory, but if football in
the future is as profitable to Ne
braska as the last 50 years were,
then we all have something to look
forward to...
Losing to Minnesota Is no great
disgrace. ... After all, the 1940
Gophers are on the march to an
other big year. ...The Iluskers,
Saturday, were just another mile
stone to pass on the road to that
roal and were efflclnlly over
powered. . . .
One thing- beneficial about the
Gopher-Husker clash was that the
fame certainly brought out the
weak points in the Nebraska de
fense.... But you be assured that
those faults will be given a thoro
going over during this week of
prepping for the Indiana game....
The coaches will have a big task
on their hands and that will be the
main stress in the practices this
week....
Minnesota Reverberations: Min
neapolis fans were impressed with
the offense which Nebraska dem
onstrated. . .It was the best Husk
er running they had seen in a long
time, Gophers claimed. . . .
Nomination for All - America:
George Franck, Gopher speedster,
was easily the outstanding man on
the field Saturday. ... A close sec
ond in the offensive department
was Substitute Fullback Bill Daley
who showed Iluskers how to crack
the line and still keep gcing for
substantial yardage. . . . That tackle
of bis on Ilcrmie RohriT will linger
In Rohri;'s memory for years to
come. . . .
Altho playln; against linemen
op to 75 pounds heavier than him
self, little Eddie Schwartzkopf
fave a very rccommendab!e ac
count in defensive grid play....
Warren Alfson and fourth string
end Wilhrd Bunker also stood out
In line work....
Hospitality and sportsmanship
on the part of the Gophers will re
main in the memories of those who
saw the game,... The Cordial
Gophers praised the Huskers and
said they looked better than the
Washington Huskies did on the
preceding Saturday. . . .
V.'eel.end pickups: Hubert Mon
Sky, 1939 guard, and George Sce
mann, 1939 end, attended the game
together. ... Bruce Campbell, for
mer sports columnist on the
DAILY, was also at the game. . . .
He is working with the United
Press in Minneapolis now. . . .
Don Fitx. are Hnkr hirfrt-
baller, was on the Nebraska end
of the sideline chain. ... A new
trophy Is now in existence between
the Gophers and the Iluskers....
It's a cowbell which wUl be In.
possession or the winner after the
annual clash from now on. . . .
The Gopher band played Masker
songs and cheers were given by
the Mlnnesotans for the Iluskers
daring the courser of the game and
even after the battle. . . . Fine hos
pitality and the Dukm sur an.

Dorais to Rockne pass revises
game-Notre Dame respected
By George Abbott,
Twice In his athletic and coach
ing career It was that Knute
Rockne introduced into the great
American game of football inno
vations that were to revolutionize
the game once in 1913 and again
in 1922.
Rockne and his best friend, Gus
Dorais, who was later to become
coach at Detroit university, had
taken jobs as lifesavera during
the summer of 1913. The boys had
just learned from that day's pa
per that Notre Dame was to meet
Army, then the big gun in east
ern football, in a game to be
played at West Point in Novem
ber. All of the teams at that time
depended almost entirely on big,
brawny teams capable of steam
roller, interlocking and mass-formation
plays. To the light Notre
Dame eleven of that year, "this
Army team looked like an impos
sible barrier, outweighing the
Irish almost twenty pounds to the
man.
How to lick Army.
"We could beat them if we took
a shotgun along!" said Gus in a
joking manner.
"All right then, we will take a
shotgun along. I've got an idea
how we can lick the Army, Gus,
listen." this was the young fel
low who had thus far been just a
fair athlete, Knute Rockne.
And there on the sands of Ce
dar Point those two young men
worked on this idea worked until
the sun finally dipped down be
hind the western shore of that big
blue lake.
No team had ever used the for
ward pass as its major threat of
offense. Rockne's theory was, "if
you can't go around a steamroller
you can go over it!"
And so it was in the beginning.
The pass play.
In the last rays of a lite No-

South Bend welcomes Rockne's
vember sun, the Fighting Irish
were playing their hearts out
against the powerful Army team
the Cadets out In front with seven
points to their credit and the In
dianans with nothing but courage
to theirs.
Suddenly Gus Dorais, the quar
terback, was all alone in the back
field and he was retreating all the
time. The crowd thought he had
gone mad. Then, just when " it
seemed the Cadet's forward wall
would crush him, Gus cocked ln'3
arm, and with all his ctrenjth
threw tha ball in a long graceful
arc and into the arms of the
waiting Rockne, who had only to
scamper gaily across the goal un
touched. A new hero.
Twice that November afternoon
the Dorais-to-Rockne combination
clicked .while the mighty Army
team, with her three All-Ameri-car.s,
with her reputation, and

with all her advantages could only
stand amazed at this display of
"new-fangled" football. The Irish
returned to South Bend, hailed as
the "Rockne's wreckers."
Thus it was that newspapers all
over the land signalled in their
headlines the baptism of Notre
Dame into the football world.
Rockne was acclaimed a hero.
And thus it was also that he fin
ished his last season as an athlete
at Notre Dame.
Little did the sporting world
realize that this boy who had ini
tiated into the game something
which revolutionized football
who was to later originate a new
style of backficld shift who was
to go clown in history as ona of
football's coaching immortal lit
tle did they realize that the bash
ful, gocd-hcarted lad who gradu
ated in 1914 was to be hear 1 from
again at Notre Dame but he
was.
