DOME
Reflections will feature excerpts from books
with stories and memoirs about Notre Dame.
We bring you the story of Notre Dame’s first victory
over Michgan in 1909. The text is an excerpt from John Kryk’s excellent book, Natural
Enemies: The Notre Dame - Michigan Feud. In an Irish Legends exclusive, John has
added some trivia and interesting facts about the rivalry.

OUT OF BOUNDS
Irish Legends will feature monthly excerpts from Out of Bounds, the anecdotal
history of Notre Dame football. They are reprinted here with the permission of authors
Larry Weaver and Mike Bonifer.
One of the most fascinating stories to come out
of the ’09 Michigan game was the tale of how halfback Pete Vaughn broke the goal post
on his touchdown run. Also, one of the first newspaper mentions of the nickname
“Fighting Irish.”
