How Jesse Harper Made the Forward Pass a Weapon

At halftime on Nov. 1, 1913, with the University of Notre Dame holding on to a precarious 14-13 lead over Army, Notre Dame's head football coach, Jesse Harper, instructed his quarterback to start passing and keep passing. Notre Dame went on to upset the heavily favored Cadets by a score of 35-13. By game's end, the Notre Dame quarterback, Gus Dorais, had completed 14 passes for 243 yards, unparalleled numbers in 1913. Almost 100 years later, ESPN declared coach Jesse Harper's decision that day to use the forward pass to be the greatest single coaching decision in football in the 20th century. The game's significance was immediately recognozied. The next day, the Sunday edition of the New York Times devoted three columns to the game observing that "Football men marveled at this startling display of open football....(they) had never seen the forward pass developed to such a state of perfection." As the years passed, prominent football historians agreed with the initial assessment of the game's impact. Allison Danzig, football historian and long-time sportswriter for the New York Times wrote, "In 1913 came the greatest impetus of all to the use of the forward pass. This was the sensational victory of Notre Dame over Army at West Point...." by Frank P. Maggio, maggio13@msn.com

Jesse Harper: Notre Dame v. Army, 1913 and the Forward Pass

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

The following to be added after the sentence ending with the words “put Notre Dame on the football map.”

The game's significance to the development of the forward pass was immediately recognized. The day after the game the Sunday edition of the New York Times devoted three columns to the game observing that "Football men marveled at this startling display of open football....(they) had never seen the forward pass developed to such a state of perfection." As the years passed, prominent football historians agreed with the initial assessment of the game's impact. Allison Danzig, football historian and long-time sportswriter for the New York Times wrote, "In 1913 came the greatest impetus of all to the use of the forward pass. This was the sensational victory of Notre Dame over Army at West Point...." And, in the year 2000 ESPN declared coach Jesse Harper's decision that day to use the forward pass to be the greatest single coaching decision in football in the 20th century, college or professional.
