Mod Interhall

"Mod Interhall" the next era of Notre Dame interhall football history, begins with the introduction of a fourth league, a Sectional championship, and the first pre-mandated semi-final format. Other distinctive features was the transfer of coverage from the Notre Dame Scholastic to the Observer (which really began in 1966) and the movement away from the consolidated teams (although there was one in 1969) and messy, unknown scheduling during the 3-league era. Other possible names for the ear are "Mod Hall", "Mod Hall Ball", or "Mod Ball.


1969

The 1969 interhall tackle football season began on October 12 with eighteen teams. A few major records and changes distinguished the 1969 season from prior years. A turnout of 700 individuals and twenty teams prompted the addition of a fourth division, finally establishing a distinctive quarterfinals. Another major change was the removal of kickoffs from interhall play due to injuries. Players would now start on their own 35-yard line after a score. Punts were still fair considered fair game.[1]

Interhall championship

The 1969 interhall football championship game was played on November 23 between Grace-St. Edward's and the Off-Campus team in Notre Dame Stadium. Grace-St. Edward's entered as the League IV and Section B champion with a 4–0–1 record, while Off-Campus won League II, Section A, and held a 5–0 record. In the semi-finals, Off-Campus defeated League I champion Pangborn 8–0, while Grace-St. Edward's passed the League III champion Zahm 12–6. Off-Campus was slightky favored due to their superior record.

The 1969 title game was decided in sudden death overtime, as Grace-St. Edward's pulled away to win 12–6. Grace became the first hall to win the interhall championship in their inaugural season since Stanford in 1957, and St. Edward's broke their historic drought by winning the title after twenty-nine years and five appearances without a victory.

Grace-St. Edward's inaugurated the days scoring on their first set of downs with a "perfect pass" from GE quarterback Jim Griffin to receiver Mike Carmichael. On the next series, Off-Campus back John Drow beat his way down to the 29-yard line, but came up short on downs and the half ended with Grace-St. Edward's ahead 6–0. OC's game-tying drive began with an interception by Rich Bolini that he ran down to the 35-yard marker. Off-Campus quarterback Bill Hasbrook through a completion to veteran receiver Dan Valentino to reach the red zone for the first time, but the play came back after a holding penalty. Hasbrook would end up four inches short of the first down on the 14, allowing Grace-St. Edward's to briefly halt the drive. However, GE fumbled on the very next play, and after a few more short gains, Denny Kerrigan bounded over for the tie with only little time left in regulation. Off-Campus made two more interceptions through the remainder of the game but was unable to convert the opportunities into points. Regulation ended with a 6–6 tie.

Rules for overtime in 1969 stipulated that an additional six-minute quarter be added at the end of a tied championship, and if time ran out before the tie was broken, the rule of first downs woyuld be invoked. Off-Campus led 4–2 in first downs after the end of regulation. O-C won the coin flip and elected to receive. The drive stalled immediately and the ball was punted to the GE 24-yard line. Jim Griffin lined up a few plays later and drilled "Junior" Freeman, who managed to run sixty yards to seal the historic victory.[9]

Win One for the Glinner

An article in Issue 51 of the Observer, written by J. W. Findling gave a rousing an unprecedented history of interhall football in Keenan Hall, from their first championship loss against Sorin in 1967 to the current season. (This is more of a mental note than anything so I remember to include this article in the Interhall Moments section of my website).

Another article on the exact same page complains about the rule of first downs after watching their undefeated and unscored upon team (Morrissey) lose 5F to 9F to Dillon, and advocated for its abolition. The writer was none other than Vince Meconi, a Morrissey hall resident who would become one of the two founders of Boostore Basketball.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).|newspaper=The Observer|date=November 17, 1970|page=3|url=http://archives.nd.edu/Observer/v05/1970-11-17_v05_051.pdf}}</ref>
