By W1LLGRIMSLEY AP Special Correspondent SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP> - There’s some Rockne and a dash of Leahy in Ara Parseghian, but the Notre Dame football team wears one undiluted trademark—it’s strictly Parseghian. The qualities of the coachintensity, an almost evangelical fervor, dedication and pridecan be found in the team that will play top-ranked Alabama Monday night in the Sugar Bowl for the national college football championship. “1 am an emotional coach—1 don’t deny it,” the handsome, dark-haired Armenian said recently during a rare pause in his whirlwind schedule. “Generally people break the chemistry of a football team into four parts—personnel, leadership, strategy and emotion. Perhaps the proper blend would be 25-25-25-25. I suppose a fundamentalist such as the late Vince Lombardi or Sid GilIman put about an 80 per cent emphasis on technique and strategy. “For me, the swing would be heavier toward the emotional or psychological factor.” Whatever his modus operandi, Parseghian has restored Fighting Irish football to former greatness. He took a team Lebonon Ranked No. 5 To Face Brazil Red Devils By THE A SSOC1 A TED PRESS When No. 2 rated Hammond plays No. 4 Jeffersonville in the Seymour holiday tourney Saturday it will be a little more than a clash of powers in high school basketball. Hammond Coach Dick Barr coached Jeffersonville four years before he went north. Both teams are 7-0 in the current campaign. West Lafayette will play the hosts in the afternoon with the championship tilt Saturday night. In another battle between teams ranked in this week’s Associated Press poll, No. 8 Franklin and No. 9 Mishawaka will battle in the opening round of the Carmel tourney Friday night Terre Haute South completes the Field. Sixth-ranked Kokomo will be host to Marion, Elkhart Central and Tipton for a two-day tourney starting today. The South Bend city tournament opened Wednesday night. Washington surprised No. 7 Adams 56-54, spoiling Adams’ 60 record. LaSalle downed Jackson 67-63 in the other afternoon game and at night Riley whipped North Liberty 71-60 and St. Joseph’s clubbed Clay 78-54. The tourney semifinals will be Friday afternoon with the title match that night. Top-ranked Anderson, kept from action last week by the snow storm, will risk its 6-0 mark in the Muncie South tourney Friday. Muncie Central and New Castle round out the card. No. 2 Richmond will entertain No. 14 Fort Wayne South, Bloomington South and Warsaw in a tornament Friday and Saturday. No. 5 Lebanon also has one with Brazil, Elwood and Mount Vernon of Hancock County providing the competition Friday and Saturday. Another two-day meet will be sponsored by No. 10 Lafayette Jefferson for Anderson Madison Heights, Kokomo Haworth and North Judson. Two ranked squads are involved in the Huntington tourney — No. 17 Muncie North and No. 19 Penn.

that floundered after the departure of Frank Leahy and turned it into a perennial national pow-

er.

In 10 years under Parseghian, Notre Dame has won 84 games, lost 15 and tied four. The Irish won the national title in 1966 and finished in the Top Ten on six other occasions. Ara now is bearing down on the records of his two legendary predecessors. In the 13 years between 1918 and 1930, Knute Rockne had a 105-12-5 mark. Leahy, in II years ending in 1953, had an 87-11-9 record. Parseghian is aware of Notre Dame’s rich tradition—the messianic zeal of the pug-nosed Rockne, the magic of Leahy in whipping his men into a Fighting lather, the golden dome and the “Win One for the Gipper” syndrome—but he doesn’t use it as a maudlin tool to arouse his players. “Ara doesn’t try to con his men—he is too intelligent for that,” a close friend of the coach said. “He is naturally a highly emotional man himself. He keys himself up to a very high pitch for a game. “There’s nothing phony about it. His excitement wears off on the players.” Because of this severe emotional drain, Notre Dame teams have been inclined to suffer letdowns late in the season. In 1964, Ara’s First year, the Irish, after winning nine in a row, blew a 17-0 lead and lost to Southern California 20-17 in the final seconds. Seasons also were spoiled by last-game losses in 1970, 1971 and 1972, to Southern Cal twice and to Louisiana State. This marks the First season under Parseghian that Notre Dame has Finished with a perfect record. Parseghian is a unusual blend of firm disciplinarian, father confessor and cheer leader, but players and associates know him best as a man of terrific intensity and indefatigable energy. “Mr. Parseghian is a little bit Napoleonic,” one of his proteges once said, “but he sure knows what you have to do to win.” Ara may force his athletes into an exhausting mile run after a disappointing practice and then sit down with them afterward for a bull session on world affairs. During the Cambodian crisis, he gave players so desiring time off to join a protest march downtown. On the sidelines during a game, he is a man of perpetual motion. He moves with the progress of play, yells and barks orders, agonizes with every bad break and leads his team into emotional orbit with each turn of success. He has

been known to follow one of his halfbacks into the end zone after a dramatic touchdown

run.

After a big game, it sometimes takes him 36 hours to wind down. Until he does, he finds it almost impossible to eat and sleep. Tranquilizers, prescribed by doctors, haven t helped much. During the season, Parseghian is a stranger to his wife, Kathleen, and children—Karan, 23; Kristan, 20, now married, and Mike, 18, a Notre Dame freshman. “When football starts, we know Ara won’t be home for supper from Sept. 1 to the end of the season,” says Mrs. Parseghian. “For us, Christmas comes on Dec. 15. At game time, those butterflies we have in the morning feel more like eagles.” Each day during the season, Parseghian rises at 5:30 a.m. and goes to a small South Bend eaterie, Milt’s Grill, where he sips coffee, reads the papers and often chats with an old friend. Sports Editor Joe Doyle of the South Bend Tribune. “Ara likes to discuss world affairs,” Doyle says. “We rarely talk about football.” Parseghian usually is in his office by 7:30 a.m. Then he whips through a highly-organ-ized routine of coaches’ meetings, Film study, practice and post-practice sessions that keep him tied up until around 10

p.m.

Parseghian, 50, named by his Armenian father after an Armenian king of the ninth century B.C., grew up around the rubber factories of Akron, Ohio. His mother, who had hoped for a girl, made him wear long dresses and a beret as a tyke. As he grew older, she discouraged his desire to play football. He learned to be tough. And to play football. He went to Miami of Ohio, played halfback, had a short stint with the pro Cleveland Browns and returned to Miami as assistant coach to Woody Hayes, now at Ohio State. He coached at Northwestern nine years before going to Notre Dame in 1964. Last year the Fighting Irish Finished the campaign on K very sour note, losing to Southern Cal 45-23 in the last regular season game and 40-6 to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. “Our 1973 season began in the dressing room at Miami after that Nebraska game,” Parseghian said. “Eighty-five points we gave up in two games. We didn’t cry over the past. We pointed to the future. “I don’t worry about the past. I can’t tell you what I had for breakfast yesterday.”

Tickets Slow To Soil For Terps, Bulldogs Gome

ATLANTA (AP> - The Maryland Terps and the Georgia Bulldogs have arrived in Atlanta for their Dec. 28 Peach Bowl meeting but the game’s ticket buyers have stayed away. Georgians have not flocked to ticket offices even though a state school is in the Peach Bowl, leaving thousands of tickets unsold. Maryland natives aren’t helping the cause. The Terps returned more than 5,000 tickets to Peach Bowl officials because they couldn’t sell them. Georgia returned 4,000. The weather may also be a problem to Peach Bowlers. For the last few days. Atlanta has had rain, snow and tornado watches and Georgia Coach

Vince Dooley said there are very few ways to practice “when things get like this.” In past years, the game has also been plagued by rain and snow. The Bulldogs, who finished the regular season at 6-4-1, and the Terps,, 8-3, are two of the strongest teams the local bowl has paired. Georgia beat such teams this year as Tennessee and Auburn and the Bulldogs battled No. 1ranked Alabama to a near phot* finish before losing to the Tide in the last few minutes. Maryland scored 22 points on undefeated Penn State, stomped Tulane 42-9 and came within three points this year of winning the Atlantic coast Conference championship.
