User:Murphanian777/Interhall football: Rockne Romana (1922-1935)

This is the third era of interhall football at the University of Notre Dame. The Rockne Romana began with the first league divisions and the interhall football championship in 1922, and ended with the death of Dick Sullivan in 1935 and the plunge into the dark ages of touch football. Alternate names include: Pax Rockne, Pax Rockana, Rockne Renaissance, and the Rocknaissance.

Additionally, I believe that dominae nostrae, the latin word for Notre Dame or "our lady", be included in some part of the era's history.

Interhall season
Freshman hall increased the total of teams in the interhall series to eight. Divisions were introduced for the first time in interhall history. The eight halls were divided into two groups, with group one composing Brownson. Carroll, Corby, and Sorin, while group two was made up of Badin, Freshman, Off-Campus, and Walsh. At the end of the regular interhall season a series of two semi-finals were held for the top two teams in each division, with the winners facing off in the interhall championship game on November 26.

First interhall football championship
The first official post-season championship game in interhall history was played on November 26 at Cartier Field between Badin and Carroll Halls. Badin was the Group 2 co-champion and compiled a 2–1 record during the regular season, while Carroll won the Group 1 division and held a 3–0 regular-season record. In what was likely a semi-final match, Carroll tied group 2 co-champion Walsh 0–0, eliminating the latter from the championship game.

Badin crushed their Carroll opponents 19–0 to become the first modern interhall football champions. Messrs. Cody, Mouch, Evans, and Gorman were instrumental in the convincing shutout.

Badin Hall
Badin hall was the 1922 interhall football champions. They received a ten-inch silver loving cup known as the Bill Roach Trophy to adorn in their recreation room. It was donated by Bill Roach, a Notre Dame Barber. They were captained by Mr. Mouch,, and later Mr. Haecker, and coached by August Desch with help from rector Reverend Hugh O'Donnell.

Off-Campus team
The Off-Campus team of 1922, known as the Day Dodgers, were captained by Mr. Penrod.

Walsh Hall
The Walshites were captained by Mr. DeGurse.

All-Interhall
The Scholastic published a single-team selection in their annual Football Review.

Interhall season
The interhall season of 1923 was originally composed of nine teams, and was overseen by Carroll Hall rector and director of the Interhall Athletic Board, Father Devers. After forfeiting their games in the first series, Corby and Sorin halls resigned from the league in mid-October. During the season, a win by forfeit was not added to the victor's interhall record, but a loss by forfeit was considered a loss for that team. A new team, from the recently established wooden structure that housed university sophomores, accordingly called Sophomore hall, entered the series for their very first season. Campus divisions probably existed at some point in 1923, with Badin mentioned as the winner of the west campus, but it is not clear which teams were members of either division. At the end of the regular season, Brownson was guaranteed a spot in the championship game after defeating the Off-Campus team in the east campus semi-final, while Badin and Sophomore were to play their west campus semi-final game to decide which team would meet them. However, after tying 0 to 0, the athletic board decided they could not choose which team would be allowed to compete in the final game, and so they decided to cancel the championship and give away the champions loving cup in a random hat draw between the three co-champions. The cup was won by Badin hall, but the title of interhall champion was officially left unawarded for the 1923 season. This was much to the chagrin of the Brownsonites, who believed they had the right to a championship game after their victory over the Off-Campus aggregation. It was alluded that the interhall tournament preferred a complicated elimination-style tournament under the guise of multiple "series" or cut-offs, over the traditional round-robin style of tournament play. This would account for why there is an astounding nine games that would have otherwise been played in a round-robin tournament. The system was mentioned as defective and unjust.

Interhall championship
The second interhall championship game was supposed to be played on December 2 on Cartier Field between Badin and Brownson Halls. However, based on a series of delays to the Badin-Sophomore semi-final game, which also resulted in a scoreless tie, the athletic board decided against another tiebreaker and cancelled the championship. Instead, the committee officially named Brownson, Badin, and Sophomore as co-champions, and delegated the trophy to the winner of a random draw from a hat. Badin won the draw, though the board was sure to specify that they had not been declared sole champion. Brownson Hall, winner of their semi-final against the Off-Campus team and the only hall to be guaranteed a spot in the original championship, was incensed by the board´s decision, and argued that they held a right to a game with Badin. The athletic board shelved the debate.

Badin Hall
Badin was one of three teams to finish as 1923 interhall football co-champions. They hold the distinction of receiving the silver loving cup that was designated as the interhall championship award for the 1923 season. They won this cup after winning from a random draw between them and the two other co-champions, Brownson and Sophomore halls. The championship itself was not awarded because of the three way tie. The Badinites were coached by William Maher and Joseph Bergman, and was captained by Walter Haecker.

Brownson Hall
According to one source, Brownson Hall compiled an 8–2 record for the 1923 season, although based on their known games this must be false. They were co-interhall football champions of 1923 along with Badin and Sophomore halls. The Brownsonites were coached by Mr. Barber and captained by Mr. Mulhern.

Off-Campus
The Day Dogs were coached by Father Hugh O'Donnell and Tom Reardon. They compiled a 3–1 record in the interhall league, going down in defeat to co-champion Brownson hall in the east campus semi-finals.

Sophomore Hall
The Sophomores were co-interhall champions of 1923, sharing the title with Badin and Brownson because of their tie with the Badinites in the west campus semi-finals.

Walsh Hall
Walsh hall was captained by Mr. Stanhope.

All-Interhall
The 1923 all-interhall team was probably chosen by a group of sportswriters for the Notre Dame Daily, a short-lived university publication that ran from 1923 to 1924.

Interhall season
Nine teams were represented in the 1924 interhall football season. In mid-October the S. A. C. introduced a new championship trophy to be presented to the winner of the 1924 interhall league. However, to keep the trophy permanently, the hall teams would have to win the championship three times, starting with the 1924 season. By late October, the interhall league had been split into two divisions, the east and west campuses. The west campus teams were Badin, Corby, the Day Dogs (Off-Campus team), Sorin, and Walsh, and played on a four game schedule for each team. The east campus had a three game schedule for their teams, which were Freshman, Sophomore, Brownson, and Carroll. The team with the best record in either division would face off against each other on November 16 in the Interhall championship. The last official standings appeared in the third edition of the 1924 Scholastic on October 14th, and so any hypothetical contests that likely occurred, but have no known score or game outcome, must have occurred after this date. Walsh hall won the west campus section on October 26 against Sorin Hall, while the Sophomore Hall team shut out Brownson Hall to take the east campus title. In the championship on November 16, the two halls tied 0–0. While the championship was disputed, Walsh hall initially claimed the SAC trophy because of their superior record. However, after the athletic board agreed to another game to be played on December 6, Walsh was unable to participate due to injuries, and Sophomore hall was given the title of interhall champion and the SAC trophy.

Brownson Hall
A generic team by the name of "Notre Dame Hall" was set to face off against the American Legion football team of Kokomo, and was reported to have a record of 2–0 prior to the contest, with one of the contests being a 13–6 win over the Goshen Elks. This was likely the Brownson team, as an October edition of the Scholastic noted that they defeated the Goshen Elks as well. Counting the unknown win at the beginning of the season, Brownson Hall compiled a 3–1–2 record overall.

Freshman Hall
The Freshman hall team played in the east campus section of the 1924 interhall football season. They finished with a 1–0–2 record in league play, and placed 2nd in their campus section. There was some confusion as to the claimant of certain games played under the generic name "Notre Dame Hall". Some of these contests are credited to the freshman hall team but could be a wholly separate team (similar to what a Notre Dame all-star team would look like for the residence halls) or a different hall like Brownson. One final theory, supported by an article in the Indianapolis Star is that the Notre Dame hall team is a distinct entity, but was recruited primarily from freshmen students. Some sources credit the victory over the Lafontaine team to the Varsity freshman team, although there is no hard evidence to support this conclusion. The hall compiled an overall record of 3–3–2.

Sophomore Hall
Sophomore Hall competed in the east campus section of the 1924 interhall football season and were the 1924 interhall football champions. They won their section with a 2–0–1 record and faced Walsh Hall in the interhall championship, where they tied 0–0. Although a rematch was scheduled on December 6, Walsh hall was unable to compete due to injuries, allowing the Sophomores a win by forfeit. They compiled an overall record of 2–1–2.

Walsh Hall
Walsh hall compiled a 4–0 record in the west campus section of the league and tied Sophomore hall 0–0 in the first championship game. Although they led the league in win percentage, the Walshites were unable to participate in the championship rematch on December 6 because of injuries, and were forced to forfeit the interhall title and trophy to the Sophomores. Mr. Stanhope captained the team (at least for their trip to Fort Wayne to play the Tanks, a semi-professional team with a 7–1 record ). Walsh hall finished the 1924 season with an overall record of 5–1–1.

All-Interhall
The 1924 all-interhall team was chosen by the hall rectors and constituted a single team. Quarterback Cody of Badin was a unanimous choice, and would later play halfback on the varsity in 1925. Red Smith also made the varsity team and became a two-year starter. John Hogan may have played varsity right tackle in 1926.

Interhall season
The 1925 interhall season saw the addition of Howard hall to the league, raising the membership to ten teams. The interhall divisions were rearranged, with Freshman, Carroll, Brownson, Howard, and the Off-Campus team forming the first group, while Sophomore, Corby, Sorin, Walsh and Badin occupied the other. All games were scheduled for Sunday at 2:30 pm, beginning on October 4 and ending with the interhall championship game on November 8. There are varying reports as to how Badin won the 1925 interhall football championship. The Scholastic reported that Badin shutout Sorin for the western league title and then defeated Freshman hall 7 to 3 to win the interhall championship, while the University yearbook, The Dome, claimed that Badin defeated Corby in a two-game series at the end of the season to clinch the title. The scholastic is likely the most accurate source, although the games described by the Dome likely occurred as well.

Brownson Hall
The Brownsonites were coached by Ed Crowe and Edmund Bresnahan.

Badin Hall
The Badinites of 1925 were interhall football champions. They were coached by Father Boland and assistant Pat Cohen and compiled a 4–1 record.

Freshman Hall
The freshmen were coached by Mr. Lyon.

Off-Campus
The Day Dogs were coached by Father Mooney.

Sophomore Hall
The sophomores, reigning champions of the 1924 interhall football season, were coached by Joe Boland and Vincent Nally, and later Reverend William Galligan. They were captained by Mr. Purcell.

Sorin Hall
The Sorinites were coached by Father William Carey.

Walsh hall
Walsh hall was coached by Father Haggerty.

Interhall football
Two new teams, Lyons and Morrissey halls, entered the interhall football league for their inaugural seasons in 1926, raising the total number of participants to twelve. The schedule of games was released on October 8, and was the most ambitious of any former plans in terms of games played per day (six) and total games (thirty, not including the potential championship game). The schedule also included a list of football fields, the Minims, Brownson, and "varsity field", which was referring to as Cartier field. The interhall divisions were the Senior league (Badin, Corby, Lyons, Morrissey, Sophomore, Sorin) and Junior league (Brownson, Carroll, Freshman, Howard, Off-Campus, Walsh). Officially, no championship was won or claimed by any of the halls for the first time since 1918, but the best teams based on winning percentage were Sophomore and Badin halls of the senior league, which both finished with 4–0 records. The only reason given for the lack of a championship was a report in the Notre Dame Dome that a player was severely injured. The Dome was most likely referring to John Eagan, although his accident occurred several weeks before the regular season concluded. Like previous years, many of the game outcomes during the season are unknown, and even a list of season records provided by the University yearbook are partially erroneous as many of them can be directly disproven by the game outcomes that are available, plus the lack of correlation between the number of wins and losses in each division. The only records from the schedule below that do not match the end-of-season records reported in The Dome are Corby, which had a reported record of 1–3 but garnered a 2–2 record based on a collection of sources, and Carroll, which had the same disparity between their traceable record and the one they were given at the end of the interhall season.

Badin Hall
In their 30th season, Badin compiled a 4–0 record and were 1926 interhall football co-champions, sharing the honor with Sophomore who finished with the same record and Freshman who was the divisional champion of the west campus.

Brownson Hall
In their 34th season, Brownson hall compiled a 2–2 record.

Freshman Hall
In their 5th season, Freshman compiled a 2–1 record, and were 1926 interhall football co-champions, sharing the honor with Badin and Sophomore who shared identical undefeated records in the eastern division. They were captained by Mark McCabe, and coached by Father Mooney.

Lyons Hall
In their inaugural season, Lyons compiled a 1–3 record. They were captained by Mr. Denchfield.

The injury of John Eagan
During a game between Lyons and Morrissey halls, a Lyons halfback named John Eagan suffered a severe compound fracture to his left leg that left the bone exposed and was held in St. Joseph's Hospital for weeks after the game. He accumulated expensive medical bills during his stay, and the University would not pay them off due to their policy of only insuring players in varsity games. Two weeks later, the annual Notre Dame-Army game was played at West Point. Friends of Mr. Eagan traveled to the game, and after Notre Dame shut out the crowd rushed the field, they managed to rip off a large piece of the Army goalpost. Upon returning to the University, they sold splinters of the chunk as souvenirs of the game to contribute to what they called the “Eagan fund”. The strategy was a resounding success, and the friends were able to pay off all of John Eagan's hospital bills with money left to spare. This act of kindness allowed him to return to the University in December of that year. Newspapers across the country published the story and dubbed it "the true Notre Dame spirit".

Morrissey Hall
In their inaugural season, Morrissey compiled a 1–3 record.

Sophomore Hall
In their 4th season, Sophomore compiled a 4–0 record and were unofficially the 1926 interhall football co-champions, sharing the honor with Badin who finished with the same record and Freshman who finished as the best team in the west campus. They were captained by Mr. Curry.

Walsh Hall
In their 18th season, Walsh compiled a 2–2 record. They were coached by Mr. McLaughin.

Interhall football
The 1927 season saw a revitalization and reorganization of the faltering interhall league of the past few years. Under the leadership of Father E. Mooney, new practices were instituted to raise attendance, player safety, and overall interest in the football league. The most crucial of these was the new role placed on varsity football players to not only coach the hall teams, but act as referees and other officiators during these interhall contests. The new management reduced the number of serious injuries during the season, and managed to redirect people from watching on the sidelines to watching in the stands, generating more overall attendance to each game. The increased attendance made the league seem more important to the interhall players, and nearly all 30 games that were scheduled at the beginning of the season were played. A note was made in the Scholastic that even Brownson and Carroll, who didn't win at all in 1927, showed up for every game.

Badin Hall
In their thirty-first season, Badin hall compiled a 2–3 interhall record. They were coached Ray Mock.

Brownson Hall
In their thirty-fifth season, Brownson hall compiled a 0–3–2 interhall record. They were coached by Joe Abbot and Bob Newfold.

Carroll Hall
In their eighth season, old Carroll hall compiled a 0–3–2 interhall record. They were coached by Arthur Evans and George Ulrich.

Corby Hall
In their twenty-fourth season, Corby hall compiled a 3–2 interhall record. They were coached by Dave Krembs.

Freshman Hall
In their sixth season, Freshman hall compiled a 6–0 interhall record, and were the 1927 interhall football champions. They were coached by John "Sticks" Rielly.

Howard Hall
In their third season, Howard hall compiled a 3–1–1 interhall record. They were coached by Leo Schrall.

Lyons Hall
In their second season, Lyons hall compiled a 4–1–1 interhall record. They were coached by C. A. Costello.

Morrissey Hall
In their second season, Morrissey hall compiled a 2–2–1 interhall record. They were coached by F. J. Culhane.

Off-Campus team
In their eighth season, the Off-Campus team compiled a 3–1–1 interhall record. They were coached by Milton Wagner.

Physical Education team
To supplement the loss of Sorin hall in the interhall league, a new team was founded from the second and third varsity freshman strings. In their inaugural season, the Physical Education team compiled a 0–3–1 interhall record. They were sponsored by Father E. Vincent Mooney, who was also respobnsible for assigning varsity football players to coaching roles on the interhall teams and the season schedule of said teams.

Sophomore Hall
In their fifth season, Sophomore hall compiled a 2–2–1 interhall record. They were coached by L. Moxie.

Sorin Hall
The Sorinites were coached by John (Ike) Voedisch, a varsity end, and Joe Morrissey, the varsity quarterback in 1927. However, like the previous season, Sorin forfeited their interhall games and never brought a team to the field, being replaced by the physical education team instead.

Walsh Hall
In their nineteenth season, Walsh hall compiled a 2–3 interhall record. They were coached by J. R. McGrath and M. J. O'Phalen.

Interhall football
Wanting to repeat the resounding successes of the 1927 season, Father E. Vincent Mooney served as administrator of the interhall football league for their 1928 season. The varsity football players of the Physical Education and Boy Guidance departments coached, while the varsity reserves acted as officiators. Former All-Interhall players, a few high school coaches, and an End from the Southwestern conference were also part of the coaching staff for the various teams. The contests on September 30 were all considered practice games and did count against or for any of the teams, all in an effort to allow various coaches to test their new players. To minimize the chance that the practice game would be replayed by the same teams later in the season, each Division I team was matched up against a Division II team. According to the 1928 Football Review, Division I was made up entirely of halls that housed freshman, while Division II was composed of the upperclassmen halls.

Badin Hall
In their thirty-second season, Badin hall compiled a 1–2 record in the interhall league. They were coached by B. A. Lange, Bill McCleary, and Phil Coyle.

Brownson Hall
In their thirty-sixth season, Brownson hall compiled a 0–4–1 record in the interhall league, and a 0–5–1 record overall. They were coached by Marshall Keiser, Charley Vanoncini, and Frank Mueller.

Carroll Hall
In their ninth season, Carroll hall compiled a 2–2–1 record in the interhall league. They were coached by Frank Crowe, Gene Moriarity, and Jerry Higgins.

Corby Hall
In their twenty-fifth season, Corby hall compiled a 2–2 record in the interhall league, and a 2–3 record overall. They were coached by John Clinton and Jerry Halloran, and captained by Mr. Walsh.

Freshman Hall
In their seventh season, Freshman hall compiled a 3–1–2 record in the interhall league, and a 3–2–2 record overall. They were coached by James Curry, Tom Brown, and Bill Reaume.

Howard Hall
In their fourth season, Howard hall compiled a 4–1–3 record in the interhall league, and a 4–2–3 record overall. They were coached by Art Lynch, C. G. Limandt, and L. V. Ramer. Due to their two victories and a tie against the other three frosh hall, Brownson, Carroll, and Freshman, Howard hall was awarded the "Mythical Freshman Championship" of the hall football teams.

Lyons Hall
In their third season, Lyons hall compiled a 6–0 record in the interhall league, and a 7–0 record overall. They won the titles of Division II champion with a win over Sophomore hall and then became the 1928 interhall football champions' with a victory over Howard hall. They were coached by Joe Jachym, and G. Fitzgerald, and captained by Mr. Hewson.

Morrissey Hall
In their third season, Morrissey hall compiled a 0–4 record in the interhall league, and a 0–5 record overall. They were coached by John Kelleher and Ed. McGlinchey.

Off-Campus team
In their ninth season, the off-Campus team compiled a 3–2 record in the interhall league. They were coached by Leo Schrall and Bus Griffin.

Off-Campus B team
In their inaugural season, the off-Campus B team compiled a 0–3 record in the interhall league. They were coached by W. T. Byrne and L. Brennell.

Sophomore Hall
In their sixth season, Sophomore hall compiled a 4–1 record in the interhall league, and a 5–1 record overall. They were coached by Joe Gavin, Jim Delly and Pete Narconi, and were captained by Mr. Pappas.

Walsh Hall
In their twentieth season, Walsh hall compiled a 1–4 record in the interhall league. They were coached by Bob Walsh, K. W. Byrne and J. W. Buckley.

1929
For the 1929 season, Father Mooney was replaced in favor of an interhall athletics board composed of the Rectors of all twelve halls participatinmg in the league, all under the supervision of coach George Keogan. With the formal dissolution of the minims department at the end of the previous scholastic year, St. Edward's Hall was admitted to play in interhall competition for the first time since the Ex-minim-Minim games before World War I. Badin and Sorin halls did not participate in the campus football season, so the league did not have to deviant from its model of two leagues and six teams each in a round-robin tournament that had been employed in 1926.

Badin Hall
Badin was originally scheduled to participate in the interhall season but forfeited all of their four contests. If the Badinites had played, they would have been led by the holder of the second highest winning-percentage of any major college football coach, Frank Leahy, who at the time was a tackle on the 1929 football team.

Brownson Hall
In their thirty-seventh season, Brownson hall compiled a 1–2–1 record in the interhall league, and a 1–3–1 record overall. They were coached by varsity center and future consensus all-American Tommy Yarr. In the annual "championship of the Main Building", Brownon handily defeated Carroll 14 to 0 to take the title.

Carroll Hall
In their tenth season, Carroll hall compiled a 0–4 interhall record. They were coached by varsity halfback Clarence Kaplan.

Corby Hall
In their twenty-sixth season, Corby hall compiled a 2–1–1 interhall record. They were coached by Mr. O'Brien.

Freshman Hall
In their eighth season, Freshman hall compiled a 2–1–1 record in the interhall league, and a 3–1–1 record overall. They were coached by all-American halfback Marty Brill. Due to their two victories and a tie over the other three frosh halls at the time, Brownson, Carroll, and Howard, Freshman was awarded the "Mythical Freshman Championship" of the hall football teams.

Howard Hall
In their fifth season, Howard hall compiled a 1–1–2 record in the interhall league, and a 3–1–2 record overall. They were coached by all-American quarterback and future CFHOF inductee, Frank Carideo.

Lyons Hall
In their fourth season, Lyons hall compiled a 1–3–1 interhall record. They were coached by varsity end and future captain of the 1930 national championship team, Tom Conley.

Morrissey Hall
In their fourth season, Morrissey hall compiled a 4–0 known interhall record, although the Dome recognized them with a 3–1–1 record while the Football Review lists them as having 3–1 record. They were coached by varsity end Jim Griffin.

Off-Campus team
In their tenth season, the Off-Campus team compiled a 4–1–2 record in the interhall league, a 4–2–2 record overall, and were the 1929 interhall football champions. Until the 1929 season the day dogs had held the modern record for most seasons in the interhall football league without a championship, playing in nine consecutive seasons since their introduction to the league in 1920 without even an appearance in the championship game (Brownson also played their first nine seasons without a championship from 1890 to 1899, but this was before the era of organized interhall oversight). The Off-Campus students accredited this to a lack of interest and space to practice during prior seasons. They were coached by varsity guard Jim Lyons and captained by Mr. Walsh.

Sophomore Hall
In their seventh season, Sophomore hall compiled a 3–1–2 record in the interhall league, and a 4–1–2 record overall. They were coached by varsity halfback Michael Koken and captained by Mr. Conti.

St. Edward's Hall
In their inaugural season, St. Edward's hall compiled a 0–3–1 interhall record. They were coached by varsity end Frank Kosky.

Walsh Hall
In their twenty-second season, Walsh hall compiled a 2–1–1 interhall record. They were coached by all-American fullback "Jumping Joe" Savoldi, who would go on to successful careers in the NFL, as a professional wrestling champion, and an American spy in World War II.

The Scholastic
All-Interhall selections were published in the Scholastic on November 22, 1929. It included three teams.

The Football Review
The annual Football Review selected two interhall teams.

Interhall season
The 1930 interhall football season for each team was set at four contests, with a possible fifth for tiebreakers and a sixth if the select team qualified for the interhall championship, which was played at the recently established Notre Dame Stadium. The championship game was the first non-varsity contest to take place inside the new stadium. During the regular season, the playing fields were designated as Brownson Field, Cartier No. 1 (Old Cartier Field), Cartier No. 2 (varsity practice field), and the Minims field. Badin exited the interhall league after week one just as it had done the previous year, and was replaced by the Off-Campus B team, which itself was forced to forfeit some games due to a lack of players.

Badin Hall
Badin hall was coached by Leahy, possibly Frank Leahy, celebrated Notre Dame coach and Hall of Famer. The team forfeited one game to Lyons hall before dropping out the interhall season all together. The Off-Campus reserves replaced the hall team in the league and took up their football schedule.

Brownson Hall
Brownson hall competed in group two and compiled a 1–4 interhall record under head coach "Jumping Joe" Savoldi, a varsity fullback and future professional wrestler.

Carroll Hall
Carroll hall competed in group 2 and compiled 0–5 interhall record under head coach Tommy Yarr, a varsity center and future consensus all-American.

Corby Hall
Corby hall competed in group one and compiled a 2–0–3 interhall record under head coach Romanin.

Freshman Hall
Freshman hall competed in group two and compiled a 3–2 interhall record under coach Martin Brill, varsity right halfback.

Howard Hall
Howard hall competed in group two and compiled a 4–1–1 interhall record under coach O'Brien.

Lyons Hall
Lyons hall was the runners-up to the 1930 interhall football champion. They won group one with a 4–0–2 interhall record, under coach Frank Cardeo, all-american varsity quarterback and future member of the CFBHOF, and then lost to Walsh hall in the interhall championship game to finish 4–1–2.

Morrissey Hall
Morrissey hall competed in group one and compiled a 1–4–1 interhall record under coach Albert Capter, varsity fullback.

Off-Campus team
Two off-Campus teams were represented in the 1930 interhall football season.

Off-Campus first team
The Off-Campus first team competed in group two and compiled a 2–3 interhall record under coach Butorac.

Off-Campus second team
The Off-Campus B team competed in group one and compiled a 1–4 record.

Sophomore Hall
Sophomore hall competed in group one and compiled a 2–2–1 interhall record under coach Clarence Kaplan, varsity right halfback.

Sorin Hall
Based on a claim by future athletic director Edward "Moose" Krause, he played for Sorin in his freshmen season at Notre Dame in a game against Gary High School.

St. Edwards Hall
St. Edward's hall competed in group one and compiled a 3–1–2 interhall record under coach Edwin Kosky, varsity left end.

Walsh Hall
Walsh hall was the 1930 interhall football champion. They won group one with a 5–0–1 interhall record under coach Tom Conley, varsity football captain and right end. They then defeated Lyons hall in the championship game at Notre Dame Stadium to finish 6–0–1, having shut out all seven of their opponents.

Alumni
The charity game against the New York Giants professional football team on December 14 featured the infamous Notre Dame Four Horsemen of 1924. Adam Walsh, captain of the championship Notre Dame football team of 1924, and current line coach at Yale, agreed to coach the alumni for their game against the professional team. The inclusion of the Notre Dame all-star team's defeat of the West-South all-star team is debatable, given that one of the fourteen players who played on the Notre Dame team was from Purdue.

Interhall season
The introduction of Alumni and Dillon halls to the interhall league increased the total of participating residences at Notre Dame to an all-time high of fourteen. Due to this increase, the regular season rose from five to six games. John Fredericks, a former varsity center, took control of interhall athletics for the season and arranged the schedule, assigned equipment, and settled disputes. Over 200 students were dressed and over 300 competed in the football season.

On October 28, John Fredricks met with over a 150 interhall players and their coaches to announce that the University was rescinding their policy of not ensuring medical costs of student-athletes in intramural athletics. It is unclear if this policy had been removed years before, or for how long the new policy would last.

Due to the consistency of tie games during the season, an article in the Scholastic advocated to lengthen the duration of time per quarter in interhall football from eight minutes to a time closer to the varsity's fifteen minutes.

Walsh hall won the most lopsided game in interhall history at the time when they defeated Freshman hall 39 to 0 on Brownson field. This broke the previous record, also set by Walsh hall, when they defeated Corby 38 to 0 during the 1917 season. It was the sixth interhall game where one team scored 30+ points, and the second-most total points scored during an interhall contest after another Walsh game in which they defeated Brownson 26–14 in 1913.

The Scholastic/Football Review
The Scholastic, which controlled the Football Review at the time, published a two team all-interhall selection. It was decided by a combination of picks from the interhall coaches, officiating crews, and interhall administrator John Fredricks, which in the past had been done by these groups individually.

Interhall season
Tommy Yarr, a consensus All-American and assistant coach for the varsity team, took control of the interhall league for the 1932 season. The turnout for practice across the league was reported as the largest in the history of interhall football. Multiple teams dropped out of league due to a lack of interest or number of available players, including the off-campus team before week one, and the Carroll hall aggregation in week three. Tom Yarr ruled that the latter two would be counted as forfeit wins to all teams that they were originally scheduled to play them. Yarr also reversed the outcome of the Badin-Morrissey contest after Morrissey filed a complaint that the Badinites were using two players that practiced with the varsity team. A point system was also introduced this season to replace the use of percentages to determine who would appear in the interhall championship game, with two points for victories, one for ties, and zero for losses. The schedule of games during the season was erratic due to all the drop-outs and forfeit games. During the last week of play all other scheduled interhall football games were cancelled as the teams no longer had a chance to participate in the championship. Another reason for the loss in commitment from interhall players was their fear of costly injuries that at this point in their lives could not be afforded. An editorial at the end of the season speculated if it was time to abolish the interhall league altogether.

The coaches of the respective groups chose the team that represented their division. The selections made by the group II coaches were nearly unanimous, while group I generated more honorable mentions.

1935
Mr. Scannell, head of the department of Physical Education at Notre Dame, administrated over the interhall football league for the 1935 season.

In the first week of play, St. Edward's broke the record for most lopsided interhall football contest when they defeated Dillon hall 44 to 0. It was the first game that a single interhall team eclipsed 40 points.

The interhall football season, including the last week of games and the championship, were cancelled by head coach Elmer Layden after the fatal injury suffered by St. Edward's player Richard (Dick) Sullivan in a game against Freshman on November 17. Weeks later, a series of coin flips were administered to decide who would be interhall champion and receive the Joseph Sullivan interhall trophy and individual awards. St. Edward's was the clear winner of group II while there was a three-way tie in group I. Corby hall won the group I coin flips and then defeated St. Edward's in another coin flip to be crowned interhall champions. However, since St. Edward's hall held the best record in the league they were granted the interhall trophy and the individual awards that went with it.

Joseph Sullivan interhall trophy
Joseph G. Sullivan, elected captain of 1935 Notre Dame Varsity football team, died in March of 1935. In response to his death, the Notre Dame Club of New York donated a bronze plaque to the University that was named the "Joseph George Sullivan Interhall Football Championship Trophy", with the intention that it would be given to the annual interhall football champion. It is unclear if Joseph Sullivan was related to Richard Sullivan, who died months later of injuries sustained in an interhall football game.

In their fifteenth season, Corby hall competed in group one of the interhall league, and compiled a 4–1–1 interhall record. They were officially named 1935 interhall football champions after a series of coin flips, first to determine the group I champion and then to decide the champion. However, the Joseph Sullivan trophy and individual awards were not given to Corby and instead given to St. Edward's as they held they held the best record in the league and were already scheduled for the interhall championship while Corby had been tied with Howard and Walsh in group I.

St. Edward's Hall
In their seventh season, St. Edward's hall competed in group two of the interhall league, and compiled a 5–0 interhall record. They easily clinched the group I championship and were the first team to be accepted to the interhall championship. However, after the grave injury of Dick Sullivan the season was cancelled and a series of coin flips were issued to decided the interhall football champions instead. Unfortunately for St. Edward's, Corby defeated them in the coin toss and was given the distinction of interhall champions, although the Joseph Sullivan interhall trophy and the individual awards were all given to St. Edward's as they finished with the best record in the land and would have been unofficial champions if not for the coin flip. They were coached by Brovelli.

The Death of Richard J. Sullivan
On November 17, 1935, Richard (Dick) Sullivan, a 19-year old Sophomore from Poughkeepsie, New York, was playing on the St. Edward's hall team against Freshman when he suffered an injury which broke his neck. He died a week later, becoming the third student to die at Notre Dame as a result of an injury sustained in a game of football.

Walsh Hall
In their twenty-sixth season, Walsh hall competed in group one of the interhall league, and compiled a 2–0–3 interhall record. Walsh was one of the four teams that participated in the coin flips to decide the interhall championship. They were coached by McKenna.

All-Interhall
No know All-Interhall teams were published during the 1935 season, likely because of all the confusion when the league was shut down due to Dick Sullivan's grave injury.
