...could, Garcia at last reached a couple of mounted policemen and shouted, over and over again, "Can you protect this girl?" The cops did nothing, and the mob closed in again, chanting obscenities, pummeling the newsman and clawing at the girl. Garcia managed to drag the girl another 30 yds. or so along the street before the mob stopped them. There seemed no escape, but at that moment a black car rolled up and the crowd fell back, afraid that more responsive police had arrived. The driver turned out to be a hospital official rather than a policeman; he managed...
...Army 30 Dorais dropped back to pass. Nobody noticed Rockne, hobbling painfully down the sideline. Suddenly, the limp disappeared; he was running full tilt toward the Army goal, reaching up for the pass. Touchdown!

When Notre Dame scored two quick touchdowns?one on a pass from Huarte to Halfback Nick Eddy that covered 91 yds. it looked like a rout. But then everything went wrong. Halfback Bill Wolski fumbled on the Pitt two, and Snow dropped a pass on the Pittsburgh goal line. Banging away at the Irish line, Pitt picked up 199 yds. rushing?16 yds. more than all six of Notre Dame's previous opponents lumped together. Finally, it was the fourth quarter, and Pitt...
...Well," said Parseghian, "at least we won." With Michigan State out of the way, the Irish led the nation in rushing defense (63 yds. per game), ranked second in total offense (409 yds. per game), fourth in passing. Now, Iowa (season's record: 3 wins, 5 losses) and Southern Cal (5-3) were the only obstacles remaining in Notre Dame's path to the national championship and its first umblemished season in 15 years...
