...Southern California's big men insulated their feet against the 28° temperature of South Bend with layers of sweat socks and cellophane, but nothing helped against a Notre Dame team that has abruptly become a major power since Quarterback George Izo returned to full health.

He approves every idea, each sugary line on each card in his huge assortment. He keeps constant tab on the profit sharing, health insurance, hours and pay of his some 5.000 employees, even inspects the food served in the company cafeteria. When he rejects something, he is liable to do it without giving reasons, says only that his decisions come from "the vapor of experience." Out of this fog has come an almost uninterrupted...
