Interhall

Last month Alumni Hall dramatically wrested the President's Cup away from its usual resting place in Dillon Hall. Facing Father Broestl's array of Dillon talent, Alumni could only tie their opponents. But they were awarded the victory by virtue of first down totals, tallying just one more than Dillon.

Alumni turned back Breen-Phillips in the championship game 26-0. Hoping for an upset, the freshmen champs were hopelessly outclassed. In a game played at the Stadium, Alumni scored four times while holding the freshmen scoreless.

Breen-Phillips earned the right to challenge Alumni by edging sophomore winner Zahm 14-8.

Slick Bucky O'Conner, Alumni's offensive leader from his right half slot, was voted the league's most valuable player. He scored five touchdowns in the six games played. These include the all important score that sank Dillon and also two against Breen-Phillips.

Pre-season

• Over 500 men participated.

• Dillon, Alumni, and Off-Campus were the pre-season favorites.

• Multiple amalgamated interhall football teams occupied the league for the first time. They were Sorin-Walsh, Badin-Pangborn, and Lyons-St. Edward's. These consolidated teams would become commonplace over the next decade.

Season

• In the de-facto Junior/Senior league championship, Alumni and Dillon tie in regulation. Since the game determined who would move on to the interhall championship game, the rule of first downs was invoked. Alumni had one more first down than Dillon, breaking their 19 to 23-game unbeaten streak.
