NOTRE DAME 26 NORTHWESTERN 19 Frosh managers Al Guanari and Pot Henry. A fresh N. U. sub tries to get his uniform sent to the cleaner. R LAIN AND BAD LUCK almost caused the national title-bound Notre Dame football team to lose the victory trail as a scrappy Northwestern squad scored 19 points, 7 points short of the Irish total of 26. Notre Dame scored first on a sustained drive headed by Terry Brennan and Pep Panelli. The score was made from 5 yards out by Panelli. Earley failed to convert. A few moments later, N.D. recovered a Wildcat fumble on their 18, and John Lujack pitched a fourth-down pass to Brennan for the second score. N.U. retaliated with a drive that sent Tunnicliff over from the one-half yard line, but failed to add the extra point. A 37-yard pass from Frank Tripucka to Smith gave Notre Dame a 20 to 6 halftime lead. The Wildcats opened the third period with Wightkin slowed by a tenacious snowflake.

That score can ' t be right! The famous Army line fails to affect a break-through. 97 yard? for a touchdown. Fred Earley converted and the Irish were off to gain revenge for those war time trounc- ings suffered at the hands of Army. Brennan ' s once-in- a-lifetime score was the first Irish touchdown against Army since 1943. Later in the first quarter, the Irish pounded out 80 yards for their second touchdown. Brennan scored from the 3. Boh Livingstone went over from the 6 in the third quarter and Larry Coutre registered the fourth touchdown in the final period on a 12 yard trip. Army roared back after the third Notre Dame touchdown and went 56 yards into the end zone with Rip Rowan scoring. Captain Joe Steffy kicked the extra point.
