This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

another interesting 1930 ND frosh football recruit by olson

Abraham Zvonkin T. Hamilton Ont. Canada

In the link below to Abe Zvonkin's Wikipedia page, you will not find any reference to the fact that Zvonkin attended ND...they missed a good part of Abe's fascinating story...

However you will find Abrabam Zvonkin listed in the 1930-31 Notre Dame Student Directory-he is the last name in the book. (I would have linked the directory too, but I only know how to link one thing at a time to a post :)

from the ND directory:

Zvonkin, Abraham
929 N Francis St South Bend AB 1
721 Barton E. Hamilton,Ont. Canada

Zvonkin had represented Canada in the 1930 Empire Games prior to entering ND-winning the Bronze Medal in the discus.

Then Abe enrolled at ND & played Frosh football under Rockne-Zvonkin was one of 50 awarded a Frosh football Numerial in 1930.

Zvonkin transferred to Queen's U in Kingston Canada & later was part of a Grey Cup winning Canadian championship football team + a professional wrestler.
