Solemn and scholarly, Harvard's Faculty Committee on Athletic Sports convened in Cambridge to consider the portentous fact that in six years under Head Coach Lloyd Jordan, 56, the Crimson football team has won only 24 games while losing 31 and tying three. Few men in the room knew a crossbuck from an Eliot House chambermaid. Only Associate Dean Robert Blake Watson had had direct contact with the game (as a scrub on the 1936 squad which won 3, lost 4). The rest of the committee included four Ph.D.s (a Russian-born chemist plus professors of Greek literature, economics...
...director's job, Jordan did not bother to point out that during his years on "the Square" his "classroom" had been ruthlessly depleted by both academic and physical casualties.

But Notre Dame's president, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., silenced the pack by giving Brennan a timely vote of confidence: "Coach Brennan was engaged in 1954 on a verbal agreement for three years . . . we are now re-engaging him for next year...
