ankles inkles with tape and conversation among the players was about everything but tonight most important game of the season Questions of a sporty nature were being tossed up at random for those who either could answer them or cared to express an opinion who drew up this year Intercollegiate football schedule sending both Toronto schools out of town on the same day Did anyone really think George Armstrong would hang up his Maple Leaf sweater for good Except for the usual good luck wishes talk about the Calgary game seemed to be taboo a situation which pleased me greatly for the opportunity it presented of chitchatting about one of my all time favorite topics the NotreDame Michigan State football rivalry Good fortune and an hospitable East Lansing Michigan relative provided me with a seat m Spartan Stadium for the famous 1966 national championship battle a tie which attracted a gathering of some 000 fans and a national TV audience of several million more Happy memories of a college football weekend and a desire to see the Irish erase the shadowy image they received for sitting on the ball in the final minutes of the game told me I should return in October of Only a sophomore at Notre Dame then Joe was backup man for quarterback Terry Hanratty that day but he remembered well the events that led to the 21 17 Irish setback It was a great game Joe but Brenner beat you that day suggested recalling how TiCat defensive back Brenner then the captain hauled in passes on offence then turned around and stole an Irish aerial on defence in an outstanding performance that earned him play of the game honors While acknowledging Brenners feats Theismann had this simple but difficult to contradict observation on the game most controversial play That call in the last minute was something else Pretty obvious eh Hill Dawkuif a graduate of the Acton Minor Hockey Association and more recently a hard defence with Acton Tanners has agreed to coach Acton Sabres this town new O H A

Seymour suddenly end up on the seat of his pints in the Michigan State end zone just before he was about to receive Hanratty s pass for the touchdown that would have given Notre Dame a lend The phy which prevented the Irish from snapping their tight Spartan Stadium string was debated for months the diily columns of college football scribes of far achievement than I The general conclusion reached was that since All piss receivers are not ac customed to tripping over their own shoelaces especially in the opposition end zone and since the game films showed that a defender had come into what Dandy Don Meredith would describe is unnecessinly close contact with Seymour while the ball wis in the the explanation was easy he was pushed which is a nono according to gridiron rules Joe wasn trying to dream up excuses for the loss Why pass interference was not called on the play was a question going through more minds than his including those of a goodly number of the 339 fans In defence of the official in question it could be that the films also showed that he wis temporarily bowled over which may have been the reason he throw a flag If Notre felt upset the loss they must have felt a trifle about their ttim s victory in the 1971 renewal of the traditional rivalry played ui South Bend Saturday Two Spartan long Rimers were called back for offensive pass interference in the first half and what looked much like a roughing the kicker call against the Irish went Two immediate results of the latter were to the least Irish quarterback Etter found his team miles heir the starting
