BY JACK LEDDF.S 'Tribune Sports Writer. Three touchdowns, two of them scored in a hurry, enabled a sluggish Notre Dame team to down a game litter of Drake Bulldogs in season opener before 41,000 'fans Saturday but the Irish won 'the hard way, 21-0.

Spending, most of the afternoon tin front of Drake's goal line, the Nomads proved to be anything but opportunists, fumbling away two touchdowns and throwing away two others. An 85-yard off-tackle dash by Jack McCarthy in the third period exploded the possibility of Drake scoring an upset 'but until that time the Irish had to be eontent with nursing along a 7-0 lead, the result of- a swell five-yard pass from McCarthy to Bunny McCormick in the, second period. McCormick-caught the ball in the end zone to score standing up. Mario Tonelli registered the third Irish counter on' a three-vard plunge in third quarter to climax a 45-yard drive. Andy Puplis and Chuck O'Reilly took cafe of )the extra points, the former booting one and the latter two.

McCormick paces Attack. Little Bunny "McCormick. the niftiest bit of running material to show in an Irish uniform since: the days of Marchmont 'Schwartz, was the sparkplug- of an attack which flared up and down like the exhaust flame from an oil tank. He reeled off runs of 20, 17, 16, 14, 13, nine and seven yards to average eight yards every time he lugged the leather. Drake made, but one bid to score and that was through the air in the tehird quarter.

The Bulldogs marched 59 yards before being stopped and might have gone all the way had not Quarterback Peterson suddenly shifted from passing to end- The drive started immediately after Joe.Ku-harich kicked off to Bud Suter in the third period. Suter came back 10 yards, went out and snared a 15-yard pass from Underwood, and then slipped down field to take a 93-vard tos from the game. Three end sweeps with Suter and Underwood trying to outrun fast charging Irish forwards netted nothing more than a 'loss of 11 yards. Suter attempted jto pass on fourth down but was buried beneath an avalanche of green jersies. From then on Drake spent the afternoon on defense.
