NASSAU COUNTY, N.Y.--Ours is not a romantic age, and so it's hardly surprising that, except for his green jump suit, Philip (Phil) McGuire with his broad face and fading hairline looked about as ordinary as any other of the dozen or so people sipping beer in a Long Island bar on a hot afternoon last week. Like them, he was relaxing from work, but his line of business was perhaps slightly more demanding than theirs. McGuire had just returned from two months of flying arms and food into the beleaguered African state of Biafra...

More than 80 colleges were after him until he chose Purdue. There, in his first varsity year, he was a defensive back-until he grabbed a Notre Dame fumble and raced 95 yds. for a touchdown. From then on, he played both ways, and last year he led the nation...

...these that have shaped his reputation in the University community as two parts buffoon and one part bastard. Self-possessed Charles P. Whitlock, Assistant to the President for Civic Relations, smiles and shakes his head at the mention of Vellucci's name, while CRIMSON editors jump at the chance to make him appear a beast that never was on land or sea before. It was page one news last spring when Vellucci sat stony-faced through a young girl's tear-laden hour-long plea that her dog would be strangled if a proposed leash law was passed...
