but the master marketer later complimented him for a "good idea" after the wire services picked up the photo
and ran them nationally.
Notre Dame would go on to win its first consensus national title that year, assuring the immortality of The
Four Horsemen.
70 Years Ago: Oct. 14, 1944
In front of a capacity audience of 38,167 at Boston's Fenway Park, nine different Notre Dame players score on
rushing touchdowns during a 64-0 rout of Dartmouth. The lone negative was six missed point-after attempts.
The margin of victory is the largest by a Notre Dame team since defeating Haskell 73-0 to open the 1932
campaign. In the last 70 years, it's been matched only by the 64-0 victory versus Duke in 1966.
Notre Dame's next scheduled game at Fenway is Nov. 21, 2015, versus Boston College.
15 Years Ago: Oct. 16, 1999
Two weeks after recording the largest comeback victory by a Fighting Irish team in Notre Dame Stadium
history, that record is topped again.
On Oct. 2, Notre Dame had trailed Oklahoma 30-14 before rallying to a 34-30 victory. This time, the Irish trail
USC 24-3 in the second half, but fifth-year senior quarterback Jarious Jackson spearheads a 25-24 conquest
in the rain.
The game-winning score occurs when Jackson scrambles 17 yards to the 1-yard line, where a jarring hit
dislodges the football that tight end Jabari Holloway recovers in the end zone with 2:40 remaining.
Jackson completes 19 of 30 passes to 10 different receivers for 257 yards with a touchdown. Joey Getherall
paces the receiving corps with seven catches for 73 yards.
