Considering the 9-1 season that Notre Dame had in 1964, last year was practically a disaster. Quarterback John Huarte, the Heisman Trophy-winning passer, had graduated; so had All America End Jack Snow. The Fighting Irish had nothing left except a speedy halfback in Nick Eddy, a pile-driving fullback in Larry Conjar, and a rock'em, sock-'em offense that ground out the yardage but excited nobody.

Later the menfolk, including Grandpa, get together with the village pharmacist to form a string quartet in a rehearsal sequence that is disrupted by intramural arguments and arthritic aches, with additional time called by Peter...
