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 bedespite 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.
