1. How come I've never heard of this guy? Interestingly enough, sports-reference.com doesn't list him at all.

2. Per the National Football Foundation, In 1962 a panel of sports writers and broadcasters picked an all-time Notre Dame team, and Schwartz was in the backfield along with George Gipp, Jim Crowley and Johnny Lujack.

2. The trading card shows him with 972 yards in 1930 but that must have been a typo and you're right that nobody had more until Al Hunter (Creighton Miller came close in 1943). Even so, 927 would have led ND five (5) times in the 1990's.
