That mechanism was still a mystery in 1891, when Dr. William Coley, an American surgeon, first observed the beneficial effects of certain infections on patients with cancer. Coley began injecting patients with mixed bacterial toxins to induce responses that might alter the course of the malignancy, and without fully understanding what he was doing, succeeded. In 1893, he injected his toxin into a 16-year-old boy with inoperable cancer and was rewarded with a demonstrable success: the tumor shrank and, over a period of a few months, disappeared. He treated some 250 other patients who also improved and survived...

...sore shoulder. The Spartan defense took care of the rest. It triple-teamed Irish End Seymour so effectively that he did not catch a pass; in all, Notre Dame gained a grand total of only 219 yds. Thirty-four of those yards came on a touchdown pass from Coley O'Brien, Hanratty's replacement, to Halfback Bob Gladieux, but the best that the Irish could do after that was a 28-yd. field goal by Joe Azzaro...

...Parseghian could hardly have helped being impressed. If he was, he sure didn't let the boys know. Hanratty was competitive with Fellow Sophomore Coley O'Brien for the quarterback's job, and he still had a lot to learn.
