Rockne Heads All-Time All-American
I NEW .YORK—(NEAI—The man had a masked nose and :
■ a lopsided grin and a bald head' ‘rie was an immigrant g
■ from Norway. His name was Knute Kenneth Rockne, and 0
■ he brought the game of American football from a despised t
period of Neanderthal bloodletting to the violently exciting. P
1 modern spectacle it has become .
■ , He did it first as a player, a spindly end at Notre Dame (
■ who was the first celebrated receiver of the forward pass
a in the game's history. And the fruition of his achievement
• were the technically thrilling and emotionally stimulated
9 teams he produced as the head coach at his alma mater.
I in time, Rockne of Notre Dame came to represent the
I sport of football. And he was a profound spokesman for it
• "Football," he said, "teaches a boy a sense of responsi-
" bility—responsibility as a representative of his college,
■ responsibility to his teammates, responsibility in control-
M ling his passions—fear, hatred, jealousy and rashness
L. Football ips out the best there is iammrryone."
And “rockne, like a latter-uoy crusader among the pros •
named Vince Lombardi, demanded the best. As the game
prepares to celebrate its centennial, with nostalgic dredg-
sing of great names, the Coach of the Century—and Rockne
surely is that—can appropriately be surrounded with a

Because there has always

Raiders and the Jets, Coach
