Citation details: The Rockne at Notre Dame ~ Scrapiron Young Text: Page 170Humorous sitiatues were few and far between in that year following the death of Rock. The first of two that I recal, happened after the Pittsburgh game. Norman Greeney, an outstanding guard who had distinguished himself in his sophomore year by playing the entire Southern California game of 1930, was injured in the course of that 1931 game with Pitt. Norm was a a rugged citizen with a sturdy, box-shaped physique. He was build like a wrestler, and as a rassler he was one of the best. His injury occurred toward the close of the game, and I rushed him to my "operating room". Wht the sound of the final gun, Hunk Anderson dsashed to the side of the injured player. On the way, he met reseve center, Thomas "Kitty" Gorman, returning from the room to which he ad carried his teammate. "How's Greeney?" asked Anderson. "Not so good, coach" replied Gorman. "He's gotten hiself a terrific clout on the head." "Oh," said Anderson, looked relieved, "then there's nothing to worry about. He'll be like new in a day or so. Just as long as it was his head." |
