...Dillingham in the third period to lead Purdue to a 44-6 victory. Next week it was Notre Dame, ranked No. 1 and aching to avenge last year's 28-21 upset by Keyes & Co. Not a chance. In the second quarter, Keyes took a pitchout on the Irish 16, faked to the inside, cut for the sidelines and raced untouched into the end zone.

Half Irish by birth and French Canadian by choice, Johnson studied for the priesthood but turned to politics, becoming a protege of the late autocratic Premier Maurice Duplessis. Johnson maneuvered a political tightrope on the issue of separatism for French-speaking Quebec by calling for national unity to calm down extremists, yet urging more autonomy for the province. He had planned to go to France later this month, and Charles de Gaulle intended to receive him as a full-fledged head of state...
