AL ECUYER tornado from the Fightin' Irish duty list for the 1959 Western Conference struggle is Notre Dame's starry guard Al Ecuyer, a legitimate All -American in both his junior and senior years with the Fightin' Irish. The "Fire as he was nicknamed at Notre Dame, becomes the 19th import to hook on with the green and gold this year and should pack a "can't miss" tag if his press clippings mean anything. Ecuyer, pronounced A-cu-yay, earned first-team Ail-American honors last year on the following squads: United Press Internationl, Sporting News and New York Sunday News. In gaining a place on the VPI team he polled 1,562 votes, tops among the linemen.

He was named to play for the East in the Shrine Game (East 25, Vest 14) and later went on to Honolulu lor the annual Hula Bowl. Game along with two other Esk recruits, All-American end Jerry Wilson and halfback Tommy Lorino of Auburn. ALL-STAR HABIT In his junior year at South Bend the 205-pound dynamo who doubles as a rock-ribbed middle guard on defence, was a first-team AI1-American on selections by Sporting News, Hearst, Time and Internationl News Service. He made the second team of Associated Press' highly-regarded dream unit. In selecting Ecuyer for his 1958 Ail-American squad, noted grid authority Stanley Woodward labelled him the Five-Foot-Ten Tornado.

More from Woodward: "Though we noticed Ecuyer first as an offensive blocker, his forte is supposed to be defence and his favorite spot is middle guard, playing on the head of the unfortunate opposing centre. He is low slung and is adept at lousing up the middle of the line for enemy runners." Woodward also praised Ecuyer for his fine pursuit on defence and credited him with making as many as 88 tackles a season. Another honor earned by the 21 -year -old native of New Orleans was selected to the fabulous Red Grange's pre-season 1958 dream team. tion to Sword Dancer and First Landing, they are: Mrs. Halina Braunstein's Royal Orbit (derby 4th), the Claiborne Farm's Dunce (7th), the Elkcam Stable's Open View (8th); Anthony Imbesi's Rico Tesio (10th), C.

He shook hands up and down the long line of dressing stalls, beaming as he went.

Grange had this to say a boat him: "Normally, you feel guilty about choosing two men from one team (he had also named bone-crushing fullback Nick Pietrosante from Notre Dame) but Ecuyer is much too good to omit for any reason."
