Hello again, everybody! For one brief shining moment the south dome of the ACC became: Camelot last Saturday. The subjects of this frozen wasteland, known as the student body, had become restless and quiet for a couple of years, but responded in a tumultuous crescendo which "shook down the thunder" from the catwalks. Digger Phelps and the Fight­ ing Irish shone like knights on white horses, deftly saving victory from the: evil clutches of a band of warriors from Maryland. OK, maybe that's overdoing it a little, but the point is this: Notre Dai'ne's victory over Maryland was not a fairy tale. Saturday's win came through a solid effort by an Irish squad growing in confidence with every game. The team seems to he gelling right now, which makes the: last ten games of the season look extremely exciting, indeed. Nevertheless, Phelps and Co. must guard againM a letdown this week, as they have a tough game with Fordham tonight before heading into a snakepit at South Carolina on Saturday.
