Varsity Reserves
editThe Varsity reserves of Notre Dame were the second longest running non-varsity team at the University. Originally known as the anti-specials (the varsity were known as the specials), the reserves began play against the Varsity in the spring of 1888. In their preliminary years, the difference between the reserves and the varsity was at times uncertain, and there were at least two contests credited to the varsity that were in fact composed of Varsity reserve players. They were a 56–0 victory over South Bend High School in 1891 and a 20–0 win against Northwestern Law in 1895.
1887
editAnti-specials
editThe specials football team was formed around March 17, 1888, and elected Henry Luhn as their first captain. The specials were organized as Notre Dame's first Varsity-level football team, composed of the best players from the teams of Captains Fehr and Houck. While this specials team is recognized today as Varsity, they were technically still a Notre Dame club football team. To practice against this specials team, the anti-specials were established. The anti-specials were the first incarnation of Notre Dame's secondary, or reserves team. Ed Coady was named as captain before the first contest against the specials.

editVarsity reserves
editIn a November 28 edition of the Scholastic, the magazine describes a football game between Notre Dame players "outside the varsity" and South Bend High School. Considering that the reserves were composed of varsity players that did not serve on the first team (which for the 1891 season did not exist), an argument could be made that the Notre Dame "reserves" that defeated the high schoolers was in reality a varsity contest. The result of this would be revisions to the record and statistic books of University football. Cartier, a member of Sorin hall, scored six touchdowns during the contest. This would be tied for second in touchdowns in a single contest, joining Ian Book, Bill Downs, Brady Quinn, Everett Golson, and Deshone Kizer. He also scored 18 extra points (some of which may have been field goals that only counted as an extra point), and scored a total of 60 points in the contest. This single-game score by Cartier would far surpass the current record of 37 points set by Art Smith against Loyola (IL) in 1911.[11] An article in the Chicago Tribune corroborated the game score[12], while a more thorough article in the South Bend tribune lists the score as 80 to 0 Notre Dame victory.[13]

editSecondary/Anti-Specials
editThis "picked team" game may have been considered an intramural contest, because the origin of the opponent is unknown. Pat Coady served as the captain of the "anti's" for their practice game against the picked team, while Flannigan captained against South Bend High School. The high school game is mis-credited to the Varsity eleven of Notre Dame. The team that faced off against the De La Salle school of Chicago was described as a picked eleven, but was chiefly composed of Varsity and secondary players.

"Candidates for Varsity"
editThe second game to be miscredited to Notre Dame's Varsity football team, the eleven that played against Northwestern Law on October 19 was not a Varsity aggregation, but rather composed of candidates for the Varsity team. Therefore, they acted more so as reserves/seconds than an established first eleven.

However, Knute Rockne forbade his two best players, fullback George Gipp and quarterback Leonard Bahan, from entering the contest for fear of injuring them.[45] In their second game against the varsity team, Gipp and Bahan played for the freshman squad in an attempt to even the game, with even Rockne joining the frosh against their varsity opponents. The game ended in a 7–7 tie. [46]

editThe Reserves team that played against the Congerville aggregation was reported to be composed of players from Notre Dame's fifth and sixth teams. The Flyers had been a founding member of the American Professional Football Association (later known as the NFL), and played in their inaugural 1920 and subsequent 1921 seasons. The team that played against the Kokomo American Legion on November 23 was almost entirely composed of different Notre Dame football players.[60] Kokomo finished the 1924 season with a 8–1–1 and was billed as the 1924 semi-pro champion in football.[61][62] In a post-season review of Notre Dame's various football teams for the season, the article credits the reserves with the games against St. Viator, American Legion of Kokomo, and DePaul, but had no mention of the contest against the Congerville Flyers.[63] The reserves compiled a 3–1 record, and outscored their opponents by a total of 123 to 12 or 18

They were coached by Bill Cerney while at the University and Jake Kline while away at games. Bill Cerney had gained notoriety for becoming one of the only coaches in the country to never see their team play a game, as Mr. Cerney was also a top scout and had a responsibility to watch all of the varsity opponents on Saturdays.
