...Knute Rockne (an end) and Gus Dorais (a quarterback) put on a great passing show. Until three years ago, Notre Dame had a top-heavy edge of 22 victories to five losses. Then, while Leahy was off to war, Army's super-dupers, led by the great Davis & Blanchard, humbled the proud Irish two years in a row, 59-0, 48-0. But, until last week, a Blaik-coached Army eleven had never scored on a Leahy-coached Notre Dame team...
...Harvard team Seaman's playing was splendid; Blanchard was rugged, and always on hand; Cushing '79, was omnipresent, turning up at every instant; Holmes worked well; Herrick made some pretty, though not very effective, runs; and Winsor several good dashes.

From Nevada, he picked up Negro fullback Marion Motley, who is already being spoken of as a more devastating line-plunger than Army's "Doc" Blanchard. He collected a great pass-catching end (Mac Speedie) from the University of Utah, a great punter ("Horse" Gillom) from Massillon (Ohio) High School, the best place-kicker in the land (Lou Groza), who never played varsity at any college. The only big-time college hero on his squad is his passer, trigger-armed Otto Graham, late of Northwestern...
