Marchmont Schwartz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marty Schwartz(March 20, 1909 to April 19, 1991) was a college football coach at Stanford in 1942 and from 1946 to 1950 (Stanford, like most universities, suspended football during World War II.) During his tenure, he compiled a 28-28-4 record. He was the starting running back at Notre Dame from 1929 to 1930. He was a two-time all-American under legendary football coach, Knute Rockne. From 1929 to 1930, he led Notre Dame to a 19-0 record. In a game against Carnegie Tech, he rushed for 188 yards, including touchdown runs of 58 and 60 yards.
He has also served as an assistant football coach at Notre Dame, and Chicago. He is most notable for having the lowest completion percentage of any NCAA player ever with over 100 attempts. He had completed 29 out of 124 passes, which is a .234 completion percentage.
