My mother's uncle was John Tillitski from Canton, OH. He played football at Georgia and there is info written about him playing and coaching in Georgia. She believes he attended Notre Dame as a freshman, left to serve in WWII in the Pacific and got the speech from Leahy upon his return he should go play somewhere else given the talent on the team. I figured you would be the one guy who might know if this part of the story is true or family legend.

Thanks in advance and enjoy reading your posts.
