Anthony Davis Scored 6 Touchdowns in 1972, Beating the Irish, 45-23. This is the game that my dad remembered while in attendance at the 1974 mauling

I obviously didn't attend this 1972 game, but I did attend the 1974 USC vs. Notre Dame game, where Anthony Davis destroyed the Irish.  

My dad was a diehard Notre Dame fan, but our seats were smack dab in Trojan territory. ND was up 24-6 at half. Coming back from restroom, he says to me "Let's go." I said it's only half time. He says, I know, but Notre Dame is not holding.  Because my dad had tracked ND each year, he was thinking what Anthony Davis did to them in 1972. Two years prior, 1972, Anthony Davis scored 6 touchdowns against Notre Dame, beating the Irish that year by a score of 45-23. As we left the stadium, we heard the roar of Anthony Davis' return to open the second half, like the Romans cheering on the slaughter of the Christians. By the time we reached the car and turned on the radio, another USC touchdown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6ivTXDWZZw

Van Patrick was Notre Dame's radio announcer.  Here he is in 1971 against USC.  And the 1973 ND game against Purdue.  

Pete Arbogast was the Trojan's radio announcer.  

Bob McAllister, 1935-1998, host of Wonderama, 1955-1977.

I watched this show occasionally.  His voice and diction were interesting, a mixing of kid appeal along with that of high school voice.  The show was Wonderama, hosted by Bob McAllister.  "Kids are people too" in an era when kids were supposed to be seen and not heard.  

Steve Garvey, 1B for Los Angeles Dodgers, 1970-1987

A young Steve Garvey with Gil Hodges. Garvey, then a boy growing up in Tampa, Florida, became the Dodgers’ batboy thanks to his father’s job as a Greyhound bus driver for the team during Spring Training. Steve Garvey served as a batboy for five years (1956–1961), beginning at age seven, during Dodgers Spring Training in Florida. This experience allowed him regular, up-close contact with many of his baseball idols, including Hodges.

I wanted to post this pic of Steve Garvey on the left, and Gil Hodges on the right because my dad was such a Steve Garvey fan, mainly because Garv was a Catholic and a hardworking man and athlete.  Perhaps an even stronger reason for my dad's admiration of Garvey was the fact that Garv is Irish Catholic, "Steve Garvey is Irish-American on his father's side; his father's ancestry is from County Cork, Ireland."

Garv had early signs of talent, drafted by the Twins when he was just 17, "drafted in the third round by the Minnesota Twins in the June 1966 amateur draft at age 17."

Oh, and did I say that he's Catholic? Wealthpeeps answers this question,

he identifies as a devout Roman Catholic.

Throughout his life, Garvey has remained steadfast in his Catholic faith, and his interactions with individuals from diverse religious backgrounds highlight his openness to engage with people of differing beliefs.

He played 3rd base for the Dodgers in 1970 and hit his first home run on July 21, 1970, off Carl Morton of the Montreal Expos. He moved to first base in 1973 after the retirement of Wes Parker.
