Leahy Claims Iowa Forced

f By FRANK LEAHY
Eddie Anderson and his Iowa
Hawkeyes certainly earned the
jtrespect of a sellout crowd in the
J'Notre Dame stadium saturuay
afternoon. Coming into South
t Bend as a 34 point underdog, the
lowaru forced Notre Dame to
play their toughest game of the
season before widening the gap
W 21 points with 37 seconds left
Iri the game.
'"Without intending to detract
fifcm any of the other fine teams
we have played this fall, I must
iay that Iowa was definitely the
best aggregation we have yet
exposed. ,
The Hawkeye coaching staff
; Reserves an enormous amount
i.ot credit for the very scientific
defenses they devised for the

'been very proud of our of

Sbacks.
Yet a look at the statistics
Shows that the vaunted Irish
running attack was slowed down
to the extent that It became nec
essary for Bob Williams to throw
a large number of passes on
very windy day. It was his ac
curacy combined with fine re
ceptions by Spaniel, Hart, Cou
tr.e and Sitko that allowed Notre
Dame to outscore the enemy.
Notre Dame fans through
out the country who have en
joyed the fine games that have
been played in the Iowa-Notre

tracted more fans in losing six
games this season than they did
in tying for the Coast conference
title In 1948.
The 10-game attendance this
year was 347,100 a new school
record. Only 286,570 fans sat
in on 1948's lQ-game schedule
Home attendance also was up
88,600 for four games this sea
son as compared with 76,080 for
a quartet of contests last year.
The pre- Big Seven Confer
ence basketball tournament at
Kansas City is slated for De

HavinK known Eddie Ander
son for many years, I can't 'but
realize that such sentiments typ
ify that gentleman, and we are
happy to know that such an at
mosphere permeates the entire
Iowa athletic department.
In case any football coach in
America would like to have his
mall Increase about 200 percent,
all he has to do Is to have his
quarterback call a pass on fourth
down, deep In his own territory,
with his team trailing in the
early stages of an important
game. Following Bob Williams'
call, as described, in our game
with North Carolina, our office
has been deluged with queries
as to the soundness of this selec
tion. A complete analysis of the
situation causes us to hit upon
what we think to-be the main
reason for Notre Dame's en
joying such a successful sea
son to date.
Two important determinations
in such a plan are the fact that
Bob Williams has implicit faith
in his teammates, and the other
10 members of our starting team
are convinced that their quarter
back is the best in football and
they feel that when he calls a
play it is definitely the best,
and they must do all in their
power to carry out their assign
ments.
Even more important Is the
fact that the Baltimore lad has
complete confidence in him
self. This was evidenced again
in the Iowa game when on two
occasions when precious yard
age was needed for a first
down our quarterback carried
the ball himself; for no
other reason than that he
knew such a play would not
be expected and he felt he
could do the job.

Army football Coach Earl (Red) Blaik
and his sophomore quarterback son Bobby.
By JIM BECKER
(AP Newsfe&turiM Sooru Writer)
New York? If you can't re
cruit players, raise your own.
That motto would fit the cases
of several college football coach
es around the country, who have
their own sons playing for them.
Probably the finest prospect
among the offspring of the grid
mentors is Bobby Blaik, young
est son of Army football coach
Earl H. (Red) Blaik, and only a
sophomore. Young Blaik has
understudied the Cadet's great
passing quarterback, Arnold
Galiffa, this season and is slat
ed to take over the heaving and
field general chores for the
Black Knights next year.
His sophomere performances
have been terrific. He com
piled a better than .500 pass
ing percentage tor the first
six games, and displayed a
coolness under fire that
prompted one sports writer to
observe, "Through his veins
courses the purest Ice water.
Young Blaik also is a better-than-average
all-around athlete.
He played center on the plebe
hockev team, second base on
the plebe baseball team and
quarterbacked the plebe football
club.
of 49
This reciprocal confidence has
always been evident on the Im
portant plays and has turned the
tide in more than one game.
From the coach's standpoint any
play that succeeds is a good one.
Coaching' Bouquets
Sharing the tpotllght this
week are the two coaches who
will oppose each other in the
Rose Bowl come January. It
was a long tough row, but
both Lynn Waldorf at Califor
nia, and We Fesler, at Ohio
State, have ended up on top
of the heap in their respective
conferences, .
Additional praise goes to these
mentors for Saturday's games
as both - California and Ohio
State were trailing their oppon
ents early in the ball game.
To come from behind to
achieve a victory over such a
potent power as Stanford, and
a tie with mfghty Michigan,
definitely causes the two
aforementioned coaches to be
deserving of the highest
praise.
Traditional Ivy league games
brought forth two outstanding
coaching performances as Her
man Hickman's Yale eleven dis
played their true capabilities in
rolling over Harvard, while
Charley Caldwell's Princeton
Tigers upset the favored Dart
mouth Indians 19 to 13.
Bob Neyland pays a return
visit to this corner as Tennessee
defeated a highly regarded Ken
tucky team which had been high
on the list of Bowl possibilities
Most impressive upset of the day
was the convincing manner in
which Bob Woodruff's Baylor
Bears outscored Southern Meth
odist to remain tied with Rice
for first place In the Southwest
ern conference.

Their Own Players
Coach Blaik has carefully
groomed- his son,, trying always
to avoid any charge of favoritism
toward him a problem that fre
quently arises when a coach's
boy is on the team. In fact, the
mentor has leaned over so far to
avoid these charges that some
people have accused him of in
difference toward Bobby's per
formances. After the lad had
tossed a nifty touchdown pass
in the Penn State contest, he
trotted to the bench and didn't
receive a nod from his -father.
After the game, when ques
tioned about this, Blaik said, "I
may not have looked like I was
excited, but I felt real good
down inside."
At Southern Methodist in
Dallas, H. N. (Rusty) Russell,
the baekfield coach who is the
architect of the Mustangs' of
fense, has H. N. (Little Rusty)
Russell on the team. A sopho
more halfback, Little Rusty (not
too little six feet, two, 190
pounds) made a spectacular
catch of the touchdown pass
that clinched the 20-7 upset of
Kentucky for the Methodists.
Coach Russell tried to make
it appear the play was nothing
out of the ordinary, but after
the game admitted he was
pretty happy about his son's
performance.

Little Rusty played at the school,
but the father joined SMU as as

At West Virginia, Dudley Sar

Dudley Edward DeGroot, his
son, is a halfback.
Young DeGroot plays mostly
defensive halfback. He is a sen

father was a Phi Beta Kappa at
Stanford and is one of the na

Another coach who has his
