Contact Peter Rahas at 7700 Golden Filly St., Las Vegas, NV 89131 or call 1-702-395-2974 from quarterback, where he started one game in 1965. He recorded a team- high seven intercep- tions for the 1966 national champs, including two in the showdown with N o . 2 M i c h i g a n State. Ellis (1969-71), a first-round pick at cornerback, was an- other two-time All- America selection who still holds the school career record for passes broken up (32) to go with his 13 interceptions. He also was the Defen- sive MVP in the 1971 Cotton Bowl win over No. 1 Texas — and set up a score by catching a 37-yard pass as a receiver. As a cornerback, Townsend led the nation in interceptions in 1972 with 10 — still a single-sea- son Notre Dame re- cord — and the next year as a free safety he was a tri-captain and a first-team All- America selection for the 1973 na- tional champs. Similar to class- m a t e B r o w n e r , B r a d l e y 's 1 9 7 3 freshman year is the gold standard for first-year Irish players as he led the squad in inter- ceptions (six) and passes broken up (11), playing his best game against USC while helping end the Trojans' 23- game unbeaten streak. HONORABLE MENTION • Three-year starting cornerbacks Ralph Stepaniak (1969-71) and Reg- gie Barnett (1972-74) also must receive their props, although neither played in the NFL. Stepaniak's 13 interceptions matched classmate Ellis' and Townsend's, while Barnett, who qualified for a Rhodes scholarship, started for the 1973 national champs and in Parseghian's final game made the game-saving interception near his 30-yard line to help seal the 13-11 win over 11-0 and No. 1 Alabama in the Orange Bowl. SPECIALISTS BOB THOMAS AT KICKER, BRIAN DOHERTY AT PUNTER AND NICK RASSAS AT RETURNER Three-year starters from 1971-73, Thomas was the kicker while Doherty p u n t e d . T h o m a s , who had an 11-year NFL career, kicked the game-winning field goal against Alabama in the 1973 Sugar Bowl matchup for the national title, with Doherty the holder. Walk-on safety Rassas was not only an All-American in the defensive back- field — he could be inserted in the nickel alignments on this team — but he also led the nation in punt returns in 1965 with a 19.1 average and three touch- downs. ✦ SCHOEN ELLIS TOWNSEND THOMAS DOHERTY RASSAS BRADLEY
