Excerpt from The Southern Campus, 1973 Coach John Wooden accepts game ball from Notre Dame Coach Digger Phelps upon defeating the Irish 82-63 to establish a new record for the most consecutive games won by a college basketball team. Thus the Bruins erased the record of 60 straight set by usf's Bill Russell k.c. Jones team in the mid so's. Playing amongst a hostile South Bend crowd, Wilkes hit for 20 points, Walton and Former had 16 apiece with Walton grabbing IS rebounds. Hollyfield and Former were the only two Bruins on the last ucla team to lose a game to Notre Dame, when all-american Austin Carr accumulated 46 points giving the Irish an 89-82 victory. Along with Wooden, both were more than overjoyed with the record breaking victory over the Irish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
