...Mirrors & Backboards. To be able to master the T, says Leahy, his boys must first kindle a "burning desire" to learn. One of his psychological stunts consists of having a player look into a mirror and ask himself "if he is giving 100% for his teammates and his school." Since deception is the crux of the T, faking is pounded into Notre Dame backs along with the other fundamentals. In practicing fakes, Leahy's quarterbacks must almost deceive themselves - they have to stare at the man they are faking to so intently that, afterwards, they can tell Coach Leahy...

Chicago's Am-Ben Corp. last week unveiled a new rear-view mirror, which it whooped up as the first really efficient auto mirror. Automakers who tested it thought so too. The "Wyd-Vue," invented by Am-Ben's President Charles L. Bennett, is a series of five mirrors mounted on rubber cushions in a metal frame, which can be attached to the molding atop the windshield. With a mirror surface of 70 square inches and a 180° arc of vision, a driver can see cars behind to the right & left as well as straight back. Bennett...
