...Your Jan. 28 piece on my appearance on the Ralph Edwards' show was most friendly to me, and I am appreciative. But your reporter, or the man who interpreted my appearance, was both unkind and inaccurate. I knew every man who stepped on the stage, and I was genuinely glad to see him.

In 1954, when Munn moved up to the post of athletic director, Duffy succeeded him on the football hot seat. In three seasons on the job, Duffy's curly auburn hair has picked up a heavy sprinkling of grey, but he shows no outward signs of pressure...
