...little" Miami of Ohio defeated Indiana. We here in Oxford did not find that surprising; we expected it, for in recent years Miami has beaten Indiana twice, tied once and lost once by only five points. Also in recent years we have defeated Northwestern twice and Purdue once, and at present have the longest winning streak in the country. Miami now has 10,500 students on campus, so it is not exactly little...
There is nothing particularly complicated about Notre Dame's passing attack; the Irish run a grand total of six pass patterns. It is how they run them that hurts. Hanratty and Seymour killed Purdue with the "shake and go" (see diagram), so it was only natural that Northwestern the next week would do everything it could to keep Jim from getting loose in the deep secondary. So what did Seymour do? He curled out to the sideline on the "X" pattern and swung back on the "fishhook," made do with 15 yds. at a crack instead of one play...
...their fierce pride, their dedication-and their explosiveness-the Irish are practically a mirror image of their coach. An Armenian Protestant who came to Catholic Notre Dame from Northwestern in 1963 and overnight restored its long-tarnished reputation for football excellence, Ara Parseghian (TIME cover, Nov. 20, 1964) is an intense, electric insomniac who works 18-hour days, delights in locker-room oratory, and hates anything dull, especially dull football. He has always had a knack for developing topnotch passers and receivers-"probably," cracks Navy Coach Bill Elias, "because his ancestors got practice catching figs that fell out of trees...
...three touchdowns-breaking just about every single-game record for a Notre Dame pass receiver. The Fighting Irish won the game 26-14, and all poor Jack Mollenkopf could have said was "See, I told you so." Well, if Jack thought he had it rough, imagine how Northwestern's Alex Agase felt. Alex inherited his job from Parseghian, who moved to Notre Dame after his Wildcats had beaten the Irish four years in a row. Against Northwestern last week, Hanratty and Seymour connected nine times for 141 yds., and the Irish romped to a 35-7 victory...
...turned into Transaction articles. Since social scientists have a habit of talking in professional jargon and burying their leads somewhere in the middle of their stories, Zweig has to edit heavily. But there are few complaints. Wrote Raoul Naroll, professor of anthropology, sociology and political science at Northwestern University: "It is startling to see some of my thoughts coming back to me in plain English...
