[edit] Emporia vs. Washburn/ND vs Army

Hello Paulmacdonald - I found your recent addition to my section on the forward pass and the 1913 ND/Army game to be fascinating. While I (like many other ND people) were aware that Rockne and Dorais were simply exploiting a maneuver already invented, I had never before seen a specific reference to a player, coach and game. I do wonder, however, if an article on Notre Dame football is quite the right place for this information. It strikes me that in a publication in print, this would likely be in an informational footnote or end note instead of the main body text, and I'm not at all sure that it belongs here. I have a feeling that one or another of my more enthusiastic fellow Notre Dame editors may remove it for just these reasons of relevance, even though it is admirably sourced and noted.

Hi again, Paul - Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I followed your wikilinks and read the articles on the forward pass,on Schabinger, and on Hargiss - great work! I'm a history nut, and the articles were insightful, interesting, and very well-written. I've always followed Kansas football - though ND hasn't played them in ages - because of boht KU this year esp. and K-State in three out of the last five years beating Texas or Oklahoma - great stuff! And for some reason, I always note the Emporia State scores, though I never knew about Hargiss until now. I like the info and since it's ok with you may try to tinker with it a bit to keep it in the article. You just can't have too many cross-references in an article related to as vast and fascinating a topic as college football is. Regards, Sensei48 (talk) 23:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
