A Power “+ Roben Conway + Willord Edwords Post-Season Interview —with any successiul coach QUESTION-—Now, Mr. Weeper, this is the third straight year you have coached your Catsmore eleven to a national championship, is it not? ANSWER—Well, I wouldn't say national cham- pionship. You know, there are plenty of teams that could beat us, and it’s not fair to them. Q.—OF course, you won ten straight games, in- cluding the Rose Bowl championship, so you will admit your season was slightly success- ful, won't you? A.—Well, we were pretty lucky this year and got most of the breaks. Maybe we did place five men on the All-American team, but you know that doesn’t mean anything. We were just plenty lucky. Q.—Most of the experts thought it was straight, powerful football, Mr. Weeper. What did you think of your first game, when your team nosed out Minnesota forty-six to nothing? 4.T'll tell you, that was one of those games you just couldn’t fig- ure out. My boys got a lucky break when they recovered a fum- ble on their own two-yard line, and marched cighty-eight yards to their first touchdown. From THE JUDGE FOR DECEMBER TERM STOP then on Minnesota just kept trying to score, and forgot their defense. It would have been a different story if we hadn't recovered that fumble. Q.—How about the Notre Dame game? A.—As you remember, we won sixty-five to three, but the score, of course, gives you no idea how close the game was. I made the mistake of letting the fourth string play the third quarter, and right away Notre Dame scored a field goal. You see, a coach always stands a chance of making a mistake which will cost him the ball game. Q.-The experts thought your boys reached their peak when they beat Pittsburgh seven- ty-two to nothing. Do you agree with them? A.—Remembe: that we only made forty-four first downs to Pitts’ si so you could hardly say we were at our peak then. In fact, my boys played a little ragged that day. Q—Who were the outstanding players on your team this season? A.—That's hard to say, because we had a well-knit club and there were no individual stars. Off- hand, I'd say our outstanding players were .Scamparelli, left end; Chipwezocki, left tackle; Endzonovich, left guard; Pratt, center; Ignywiskowitz, right guard; Jowihoski, right tackle; Smith, right end; Guildersleeve, quarterback; Scarsdale, right half; Twerp, left half, and Fruz- ale, fullback. Q.—What was your biggest thrill of the season? A.—Well, I guess the biggest thrill I had was in the Pitt game when we were leading seventy-two to nothing and the game ended. Those Pitt boys are always dan- gerous, and you never can tell when they'll tie up the ball game. Q.-How do you think your team will compare with the others next season? A.-It’s a little early to say, but I think we'll be-lucky if we win half of our games. We'll be hard hit by graduation. I'm losing Chipwezocki, Ignywiskowitz, Jo- wihoski, Endzonovich and Smith. My biggest worry is how to re- place Smith. Q.—Well, Coach Weeper, thanks very much for coming up here and giving us this intimate glimpse of your boys, and I'm sure thou- sands of fans throughout the country join me in wishing you a successful season next fall.
