team on an average week-end. The film was shown and explained by Athletic Director Ed “Moose” Krause of Notre Dame. “We use a-shoulder block that is used by every team in the country with the elbow extended,” Krause said. “Frank teaches the boys to hold their shirts on this block, and we were accused of holding.” Coach Frank Leahy of Notre Dame had complained about the officiating after the Irish were penalized 11 times, most of them]. for major offenses, for a total of 135 yards. Washington was penalized four times for 20 yards. 4 Penalties in 1st In the first quarter Notre Dame was penalized three times for holding and once for clipping. The film showed that on the clipping infraction, the Notre Dame blocker hit the Washington player above the waist, but rolled into his opponent's knees. But the holding penalties, the film showed, were called on shoulder blocks and no holding was apparent in the movie, the writers agreed. Krause said that relations between the players of both teams were very friendly throughout and after the game. “There’s no reason I know of why future Washington-Notre Dame games couldn't be played,” he said. “ We have no reason to stop playing them.” Charge ‘Dirty’ Tactics An unidentified regent of Washington had announced earlier that Washington would not play the Irish again because of their “dirty” tactics. : The film showed that the umpire twice was nearly trampled by players because he was playing so close. to “the line. On some plays he was on a line with the backers-up and rarely was he more than five yards behind the line of scrimmage.” Usually the umpire remains in
