A 25-yd. field goal started off the Notre Dame scor ing-and then Quarterback John Huarte, winner of the Heisman Trophy as the nation's top college player, took charge of the relentless Irish attack. A 21 -yd. pass to All-America End Jack Snow made it 10-0, and a pitchout to Halfback Bill Wolski hiked the score to 17-0.
