While we were at Notre Dame— I'm not saying that our absence had anything to do with It, although lots of other folks did say so—that Marshalltown team struck a hoodoo. I shall never forget how hot I was when the news came to us at school that the Des Moines team had gone to Marshalltown and captured that flag, which we had all come to regard as our own exclusive property. I am not saying that I studied very hard on any day, but I don't mind telling you that I quit altogether when that tough news came, and so did Sturgls. From that time until the close of the year we spent all our recreation periods, and any other time we could manage to appropriate, in hard practice. Our chief aim in life at that moment was to snatch that trophy from the hands of the enemy.
