Jack Chevigny

 CHEVIGNY IS KILLED ON IWO JIMA IN WWII. HORNS UP!

Another legend surrounding Chevigny is that, after the 1934 football victory, he had been presented a fountain pen with the inscription, “To Jack Chevigny, a Notre Dame boy who beat Notre Dame” and that on September 2, 1945, this pen was discovered in the hands of one of the Japanese officer envoys at the surrender of Japan on the battleship USS Missouri. The pen was sent back home, and the inscription was changed to read, “To Jack Chevigny, a Notre Dame boy who gave his life for his country in the spirit of old Notre Dame” The legend, which surfaced in 1945 in conjunction with the anniversary of the November 10, 1928 football game, has been a part of Notre Dame lore ever since. However, no one in the Chevigny family has seen or confirmed the existence of the pen or that the inscription was changed.
