Notre Dame's 1913 season is best known for its November 1 game on The Plain at West Point, when quarterback Gus Dorais went airborne, completing 13 of 17 passes for 243 yards to take down Army 35-13.
Coach Harlow later became head coach at Harvard where he popularized many defensive tactics such as stunting. He also was an expert in oology--the study of birds' eggs. The two were not related. I think.
There is great history here! Consider how outstanding Dorias' accomplishment of throwing for 240-some-odd yards in that era was. The other amazing thing we may not appreciate now is that Penn State was not considered the power house college team of the Keystone State. Penn, Pitt, and even W & J were in many cases, unfairly held in higher regard. Oh and by the way... Go Irish!
Some of those early wins came against weak schedules, but everyone played patsies back then. Still, starting in 1906, they had wins over Navy, Pitt, Cornell, Penn, W&J, and Ohio State.

He hatched ideas on and off the field?
