During the next four days, before a heavy rain washed away the menacing shroud, 5,910 of the town's 14,000 residents became ill. Twenty persons-and an assortment of dogs, cats and canaries-died...

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.
