ninth win in 13 starts.
Andre Dawson had three hits and

The first seven batters reached

struck out four.
Dejesus lasted two-thirds of an in

and four walks.
After the three walks, Dawson hit
a two-run single. Rookie Derrick

Luck o ’ the Irish
Notre Dame must prove worth
as No. 1 to doubtful coach Holtz
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) —
This week’s college football poll
says Notre Dame is No. 1. The
Fighting Irish will have to prove it
to Coach Lou Holtz.
“Right now we’ve accom
plished absolutely nothing,” said
Holtz, whose team opens on Sat
urday at home against No. 4
Michigan. “As far as being No. I,
I don’t even think about it any
more. They’re going to vote
again.”
The Fighting Irish carried the
No. 1 ranking into last year’s’
game against the Wolverines and
emerged with a 24-19 victory.
The Irish went on to an 11-1 re
cord and a No. 2 national rank
ing, and Michigan went on a 10-
game winning streak to claim the
Big Ten title in Bo Schembechl-
er’s last season as coach.
Holtz was 3-0 against Schem-
bechler but said he never looked
at the game as a matchup of
coaches.
“I’ve never looked on it as Bo
against Lou Holtz,” the Irish
coach said Tuesday. “Maybe it’s
because of my ego, that I don’t
want it to be that way, because
most of the time, you come out on
the short end.”
But, he adds, “We’ve been ex
ceptionally lucky.”
A lot of the Irish luck was pro
vided by Raghib “Rocket” Ismail,
who returned two kickoffs for
touchdowns last season on a rain-
slick artificial turf that stymied
the offenses.
“1 don’t think there’s any doubt
he’s a marked man,” Holtz said of
his speedy flanker.
“I’ve always felt that when
teams play somebody like Notre
Dame first, it really helps their
team,” he said. “Win or lose that
first game, you are going to be
further ahead when you come
out of that first game. T hen it’s a
question of how well you react to
the win or the loss.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt
that one of the reasons Michi
gan’s won that Big Ten
championship the last couple of
years is because they’ve looked
forward to playing the University
of Notre Dame.”

‘it was an unusual time for
him to leave, but those are things
I can’t control,” Holtz says. “I
don’t think Mike Bossary would
do anything to hurt Notre Dame.
But I do think he would do every
thing to help Michigan, which is
what would be his obligation.”
