Krall played on the 1944 Irish varsity-fullback
Denver Jim and I played in. We played several ABQ schools each year and NM is a small state wrt to population.
when I was at Notre Dame, there was a walk on HB named Mike Lopez from West Las Vegas NM.....he was about the same size as scholarship fb player -little HB Gary Diminick...and better than a few of the other 1970 scholarship Frosh halfbacks.
Graduated from ND with honors in 1974
a different classification.
Whereas our school had about 1200-1300 students, I'd estimate WLV at that time at around 400-500 kids.
Mike was obviously exceptional. Any idea where he is now?
