Even Moose had to admit that

During the 1949 season,
with five home games, the
Viking gridders drew 6.1S4

3,315 in 1918. Last season's

Leahy Lauds Navy Spirit,
Worries over Upset Idea
VHATS THE MATTER WITH SALEM?
Nothing but what a lot more determination and effort than is
being put into the program can cure. Since football is sort of a
glamorized program, boys have been known to get into it Because
they feel it is the correct thing to do. We don't claim such a situa
tion exists here but it's a possibility. They forget that becoming a
member of an athletic team bears a responsibility a responsi
bility that carries with it the task of putting forth best efforts at
ai: times. Football is no sport for the faint hearted or for the chap
who has a dislike of physical contact. It a a game ot hard knocks
and at times, injuries. Strange as it may seem, experience has
shown that many players are injured because of a hesitant atti
tude. Instead of boring in, they skirt around the edge of action,
doing nobody any good and only inviting trouble. More kids who
really take a loss to heart boys who become so worked up they
hed a few tears when they are beaten are needed. Youngsters
like the kid who cried the other night after losing a decision in
an amateur boxing bout at the armory.
IJ WASN'T ALWAYS THUS
Through the period 1932-1948, Inclusive, the complications
on Salem high show 156 games played, of which IS were won,
63 lost and 15 ended in deadlocks. In 1933 and '34 the Vikings
lost but one game In 17 played, two others resulting in ties.
Reverses came during the next two years when there were six
wins as against 10 losses and three ties. Better times returned
during the five years beginning with 193? when the records
show 34 victories, 11 defeats and three ties. Then came the
war in 1942 and a series of reverses. Salem won 11 during
that period while losing 22 and knotting four others. From
1946 through 1948 the Viks have won 12, lost 12 and tied
three. Thus, it will be seen that football has its up and downs
just like the economy of the country. Fans are notoriously
f v etl'ul and grow bilious without too much reason. For In
stance, few realize just what a tough customer Corvallis has
been down through the years. Last Friday night's win was
the 10th for the Spartans as compared with eight for the Viks
since 1933.
THE YOUTH ANGLE
Bob Hamblin. sports writer for the Clarion, high school publi
cation, remarks in a recent column: "The town is talking about a
home-owned baseball team. But what the town forgets is that it
has a home owned football team, and also a home owned basket
ball team, baseball team, tennis, track, swimming and wrestling
teams. These home owned teams are the teams of Salem high
school. If the papers give all of these sports good coverage and en
courage the people to support the teams and take a personal in
terest in the boys, then we will be able to solve our problem. It
will be Interesting to see what happens in the next decade to
ports at Salem high.
BEARCATS LACK SPEED
One fan, who years ago played a lot of football at Salem
high, complains: "We can't win at baseball, we lose In football
and can't seem to get I state championship In basketball." H
was not confining his remarks to the Viking end ot the pic
ture. It does seem wt are down in the dumps. As tor the' situa
tion at Willamette, after viewing the Bearcat-Pioneer contest
of last week, this spectator, for one. Is sure that Coach Chea
ter Stackhouse eould use a number of men who can really
pick 'em up and set 'em down. Other than Roy Harrington,
there doesn't seem to be a sprint man on the entire squad.
The lack ot speed was particularly noticeable when Willa
mette punted. Perhaps John Slanchick or whoever was do
ing the kicking, booted the ball too far. At any rate seldom, If
ever, was there a Bearcat down the field In time to cause th
safety man the slightest Inconvenience. As a result the run
ner back had plenty ot time to pick op a couple of blockers,
- sometimes three and boom down the field to virtually nullify
the kick.
By FRANK LEAHY
Saturday, as always, George
Sauer's Navy team was a great
credit to its coaches and to the
fine institution they represent,
The wonderful spirit that is
prevalent on the Navy : squad
and in their cheering tection is
exactly the type of thing that
causes them to be feared bv
every team on their schedule.
In fact, in the early moments
of the game it looked as though
it might be the day for another
big upset as Navy gained fre
quently on the ground while
rolling up more first downs than
did our "Fighting Irish," in the
entire contest. ,
Having been sidelined by the
flu" all week I made a quick
air trip to Baltimore, leaving
South Bend at 7:30 Saturday
morning and arriving back home
at 8:15 that same evening.
During my brief slay In
Baltimore the two things that
pleased most, in addition to
the victory, were the fact that
there were no injuries to any
of the personnel, and the fact
that Halfback Ernie Zalejski's
performance assured us that
his long time knee ailment has
disappeared.
Reviewing Saturday's game
the realization comes to us of
the importance of the quick op
ening plays in the "T" formation
offense. Notre Dame backs got
away five times Saturday on fair
ly good sized runs; two by Sitko,
and one each by Coiitre, Zalej-
ski, and Landry.
Each of these runs resulted
from a quick opening play
which has always been the
foundation on which the en
tire "T" formation is built.
Three years ago we started to
gather material for a book which
has since been put on the market,!
and at that time it was decided
that the most important play to
explain in the book would be
our quick opening play called
"43," I
Proving 1 1 Importance !
against Navy, Larry Coutre I
carried the ball on a simple i
"43" and ran 91 yards for a
touchdown without a hand
laid on him. Since coming to
Notre Dame Emil Sitko has
advanced the ball over one
mile for our team, and I would
venture to state that more than
two thirds of this yardage has
been gained on quick opening
plays.
A simple "43" means that the
number four back (quarterback
is number one, left half number
two. fullback number three, and
right halt number four) carries
the ball through the number
three hole, which is slightly to
the right of our right guard as he
lines up at the line of scrim
mage. The guard blocks his man in
towards the center of the line
and the tackle blocks his man
out, while the halfback spurts a)

I feel certain that no coach'
ing staff in America has ex
perimented with more tricky
plays than we have, but a look
at past performances will
prove that the big majority of
our games have been won with
these, onr "bread and butter"
plays.
COACHING BOUQUETS
Last week-end definitely
confirms the thought that 1949
will go down as the greatest
upset year in the history of
football. After what hap
pened two weeks ago it would
seem that football fans would
be accustomed to seeing top
heavy favorites defeated, but
certainly no one could have
foretold the decisive manner In
which Tennessee and Purdue
were to subdue North Caro
lina and Minnesota.
To Coaches Bob Neyland and
Stu Hoicomb we pay a sincere
tribute for their masterful per
formances. Knowing full well
ol the ability of both men it was
not at all a surprise to learn that
they had devised plans to stop
two of the nations best, but the
convincing manner in which they
achieved victory certainly mer
its their job being placed with
the all time coaching achieve
ments. Americans all love the man
who can come from behind to
win and to Mike Miliigan ot
Pitt, Eddie Anderson of Iowa,
and Matty Bell of SMU, goes
special commendation for the
amazing manner in which their
