...With Jim keeping three North Carolina defenders busy on one side of the field, the Irish gleefully ran up and down the other side and scored two quick touchdowns. The Tar Heels gave up. They took the two extra men off Jim; on that very play, Hanratty chose to throw the shake to Seymour. Oklahoma may finally have discovered a way to stop Jim temporarily. But a sprained ankle is a sometime thing, and Seymour will be back in a week...
...through the '20s and '30s and even the '40s-when Notre Dame's Lujack was pitching to Leon Hart and Princeton's Dick Kazmaier was throwing strikes to Frank McPhee-the pass was a sometime thing. In his biggest year, Quarterback Lujack gained 791 yds. on passes, a figure that Terry Hanratty has already eclipsed this year with five games still to go.

There's no trick to learning how to pass, says John Huarte, star of Parseghian's 1964 Notre Dame team (which lost only to Southern Cat in its last...
Since the School Committee has now seized the initiative in solving the problem of racial imbalance, it is something of a puzzle why the group didn't throw gradualism to the winds and go all the way. The committee members could, after all, have said that Negroes are whites, and ended racial imbalance in Boston altogether...
