Schwartz, Cummins, Lead Runners in Cross-Countr 1973 was a year of both failure and achieve- ment for the members of the Notre Dame Cross- Country Team. The big disappointment came in the form of a 2-3 record. The team opened with two quick wins against U of D and Austin. Then came the three straight heartbreaking defeats at the hands of Catholic Central, De LaSalle, and Brother Rice. John Schwartz and Tim Cummins, both All- City and All-Catholic, were the two brightest spots on this year's team. Capt. John Schwartz took the most valuable player award and Tim Cummins set a school record of 15:47 in the three-mile. Rounding out the rest of this elite bunch were Kevin Hemenway 20:07, Tom Grillo 16:29, Rick Komara 17:29, Jim Rock 19:17, Joe Paonessa 18:35, and Billy Bender 17:56. 'S 114

Frosh Team Displays Winning Form In 372 Likewise compiling a respectable record of five wins, one loss, and one tie, the ND Freshman football squad once again proved their gridiron mettle. The little Irishmen showed their offensive might right from the opening of their '72 season as they stunned St. Mary of Redford 28-0. From this triumph, the Frosh went on to rout Servite 33-0 and U of D 43-0. Then, the Irish battled to a O-0 gridiron stalemate with Austin. This tie was followed by the lone ND defeat, of an otherwise victorious season, by a powerful Bro. Rice squad. Follow- ing this loss, ND concluded the season triumphantly with wins over Catholic Central and DeLaSalle. Overall, the Freshman football team displayed their winning form in the '72 season, and soon these gridders will add their talents to both the JV and Varsity squads in future years.
