It's late at night and you've just turned
on the tube, when suddenly, Pat O'Brien,
tears in his eyes, flickers onto your
screen. He's standing over a youthful
Ronald Reagan, dying of pneumonia in a
hospital bed. Cut to a lockerroom, where
Pat is exhorting his team, "Let's win one
for the Gipper."
Every school kid in America knows
that story, from the 1940 movie "Knute
Rockne-All-American," and it shows just
how far Notre Dame football has
penetrated into our national mythology.
Notre Dame. Six-time winner of the
national championship. Producer of six
Heisman Trophy winners. In the Top Ten
for the seventh consecutive year.
"If you want to play professional
football," former Notre Dame coach
Frank Leahy once said, "there's two ways
to do it. There's a front door and a back
door. This is the front door."
As Paul Hornung once explained, the
publicity attendant with going to Notre
Dame can make a "great" quarterback
out of a "good" one. The best example is
John Huarte, the 1964 Heisman Trophy
winner who flopped miserably in the
pros.
It is almost impossible to be
overlooked at Notre Dame. Its games are
carried live on radio by approximately
380 stations, and an hour-long Notre
Dame television highlight show is seen in
many parts of the country Sunday
mornings, and (this year) they appear
once on regional television and once in
the national game of the week. (Their
nationally televised game is today, against
the University of Missouri, at 4 p.m. on
Channel 5.)
The two appearances will net the
Fighting Irish S357,000. A major bowl
game bid could earn them maybe another
half-million dollars.
Publicity like that can't hurt; just ask
Paul Hornung, the Heisman Trophy
winner in 1956 when Notre Dame had a
2-8 record, or the sixteen members of the
1966 squad who made at least one major
All-American team.
That's all very nice, you may say, but
how do they stack up in the pros? Well,
right now there are thirty Notre Dame
grads in the big leagues (Grambling has
produced 25. and Southern Cal 19j.
ranging from AH-Pros Darryl Lamonica.
Alan Pge, and Nick Buoniconti to
relative unknowns like Jim Snowden ar.d
Tom Longo.
There have been some notable flops,
of course, other than Huarte. Paul Seller,
the Jets' first round draft choice in 1968,
has never lived up to expectations. But
for every Seiler, there's a Brian Stenger,
who was still a third-string defensive end
during his senior year in 1968. He's now a
linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Notre Dame recruiting, based on its
alumni, many of whom become football
coaches, is relatively simple. All that's
usually needed is to bring a prospect to
South Bend, and overwhelm him.
Paul Hornung expressed what is
probably a typical reaction when he
described his first meeting with Frank
Leahy.
"The feeling we got," he said, "Us
simple high school kids, was like we were
talking to a saint; not a coach, not a
man something a little above."
"Lads, you would both look awfully
good in green." Leahy tc!d them, adding
the clincher. "And Our Lady needs you
here." Bear Bry ant never had a chance.
Even some players Notre Dame
doesn't recruit are impressed enough by
the program to keep trying. Pete
Shivarelli, the 25-year-old reserve tackle,
worked in a Chicago hot dog stand for
three years to earn money to enroll at
Notre Dame.
One of Notre Dame's few negative
aspects was, until recently, the absence of
a freshman schedule. The frosh were used
as hamburger for the varsity, and
understandably enough were eaten alive.

to be dead in a matter of moments, lined

whispered. "Hey kid. I'm in lousy shape.
Go easy on me."

Tiger
Tie
Heels Booters 3-3
by Howie Carr
Sports Writer
In their first away game of the season,
Coach Marvin Allen's Carolina soccer
team blew a 3-1 lead, and had to settle
for a 3-3 tie with Clemson, Friday.
The Tigers opened the scoring when
forward John Demon, picking up the first
of his three goals, slammed the ball past
Carolina goalie Tim Haigh.
Tar Heel senior win Dave Feffer, who
had been replaced in the starting line-up
by Dan Arial for the first time since the
opening game of the season, got
to)v.k initi.il goal in the final seconds
' c :..it hah
With 6:10 gone in the third period,
-.,ff. ?aain tallied to give the Heels a 2-1
. ight minutes later Carolina
.ed its margin to 3-1 as John
.ucCallie scored on a pass from halfback
Rick Brayton.
Clemson got back into the game when
Demori recorded another goal at 15:53 of
Wie third period, on an assist from Bystry.
Early in the fourth period, Demori tied
the game with his third goal.
Neither team could break the deadlock
during the remainder of regulation time.
Although Carolina outshot Clemson 2-1
in the double overtime, the Heels could
not put the ball home, and the game
ended in a 3-3 tie.
The Tar Heels now have a 2-1-2 mark
for the season.
"It was more of a team effort," said
manager Herb Uthlaut, "but we slowed
them down at the end."
The game statistics were remarkably
even, as Carolina took 16 shots to the
Tigers' 15. Haigh had six saves to the
Clemson netminder's three, while the
hosts out-cornerkicked the Heels., four to
three.
After a double loss last weekend to
Maryland and William & Mary, Carolina's
cross-country team prepares to host
Clemson and Wake Forest this Saturday
at 11:00.
The Tar Heels are currently 2-3 after
losing to the Terps 15-48 and W&M
16-47.
Larry Widgeon, hampered by a cold
for the past couple of weeks, finished
tenth in a time of 26:04 on the five-mile
track at Finley Golf Course.
Widgeon should finish higher this
week, however. Clemson's three best
harriers are Jason Hill, Richie Furst and
THE OPPITY
OUIE
Larry Rush, acquaintances of Widgeon's
from last year.
Hopefully the Tigers will be able to
follow the track to its conclusion
Saturday. In last year's meet, three
Clemson runners took a short-cut and
finished one-two-three.

What makes it so absorbent?
Examine the fiber designs closely. Ours
is a series of tiny
traps. It s revolutionary
the most absorbent fiber f f !
ever made for
a tampon. And we're the
only ones who
have it. In fact, we've $
even patented it.
Compact when dry
it expands when wet to
hold an extraordinan amount
of moisture. And absorbs much faster
than other tampons can.
With the ModessTampon, you
feel secure. Even on your worst
days and nights, when you may have
worn a napkin, too, you're apt to
find this tampon does the job .
all by itselr.
We wanted this
tampon to be more com
fortable than any other.
Because Modess Tampons
'Patent Number 3.241,553
o
urs
are more compact than the ones
you're used to, they're
easier to insert and more
comfortable to wear.

j way cardboard can.
Wh ich is nice.
Because, once a month,,
every little bit of comfort
counts.
Make this test. It's taken us
9 years, testing thousands of women,
to develop this tampon.
But the test that really counts
is for you to wear them the next
time you have your period.
Just think. More
comfort. More
protection. Fewer times
