...nearly 1,000 candi dates. Next, each youngster receives a questionnaire asking if he is interested in Notre Dame. That begins a whittling-down process designed to cut the number to a more manageable 100 by December when Boulac begins weekly jet tours. Dressed in a green "Irish" blazer, Boulac passes through an endless series of gyms and coaches' offices looking at film and meeting players, trying to identify 20 to 25 blue-chip prospects whom he should visit at home.

He was the Eisen hower of the campaign, a father figure who, despite the fashionable crowd, appealed to Greeks from every walk of life...
Sitting next to me during the test of endurance was a member of the Class of '32 by name of H. Wadsworth Billings III, or something to that effect. Garbed in a snappy red blazer, complete with ascot and Harvard pennant, he looked good but was obviously not prepared to successfully survive the biting cold...
