16 The Scholastic for others, but not for me. So he went to his first teaching position at the University of Idaho. The time he spent in Idaho was most significant because it was there that he found the field which was to become his first love, the novel. Then, as he says, "I knew what I wanted to do, and I wanted to get it over with." After four years of work, three spent at the University of Chi­ cago and one in England, he com­ pleted and defended his doctoral dis­ sertation on "Jane Austen and Nine­ teenth Century Critics of Fiction." At the same time in the summer of 1954 Father Soleta, the Vice-President of Academic Affairs, telegraphed him an offer for a position on the Notre Dame faculty. Before that day, Mr. Duffy says, "South Bend was only the place where United Airline pilots announced 'We have reached cruis­ ing altitude,' when flying east from Chicago or announced 'We have reached cruising altitude,' when fly­ ing west to Chicago." In spite of never having seen the city, he ac­ cepted the position, and he is now an Associate Professor of the English Department. The life of a teacher is apparently hard for many people to comprehend. As Mr. Duffy lives it, it might be even more difficult to comprehend. He is a bachelor who lives alone in a South Bend apartment, and has few other activities than his teaching and reading. Yet he very emphatically defends the calling of a teacher. People are condesceyiding to teach­ ers. Either they idolize them or they pity them. But they shouldn't. Teach­ ing is a good life. And underlijie the good. It is good to knoiu that one has possibly added something to a life, or left an appi-eciation of a novel with a few persons. After saying this he looks down, fumbles with his hands for most of a minute, and then without looking up again he mutters something very quietly which seems to answer any lingering doubts a person might have. The life of the mind is a glorious endeavour. It is not the only thing, but it is a beautiful thing.

Notre Dame's 1963 basketball squad, with an 11-3 sire, and — most important — has the toughest part ot record in its first fourteen games, has already won four its schedule behind it. more games than the 1962 team did during its entire Seldom, if ever, has a Notre Dame team had such season and looks like a cinch to finish at least 20-5, with uniformly good personnel; although the Irish have oc­ a resulting bid to the NCAA and/or NTT tournament at casionally had a superstar like Tom Hawkins or Dick season's end.

John Andreoli, one of two seniors who were major factors in the rapid maturing of the four sophomore stars, has a 14.8 average; Ron Reed is close on his heels with a 14.1 mark. Walt Sahm, 6-9 sophomore center, has averaged 12.9 points per game and has also snared 16.2 rebounds per contest to rank among the nation's top ten rebounders. John Matthews, the team's other senior and point man in the 1-3-1 attack, has an 88 per cent mark at the free throw line — one of the country's best — and has potted from outside for 11.6 points per game. The team's sixth — more recently fifth — man. Jay Miller, played only briefiy early in the season but has scored so well lately that he has almost broken into double figures. Said Matthews: "Jay rebounds with authority." Inexperience is a natural problem for any predomi­ nantly sophomore team, but Coach John Jordan tailor- made this year's schedule for this year's team, and Matthews and Andreoli steadied the team through early games with St. Joseph's, Michigan State, St. Francis, Valparaiso, and Western Michigan. The sophomores had enough confidence and experience at that point to dis­ pose of Creighton easily. Though the Irish then dropped late December contests to Butler and Kentucky, they came from far behind to whip nUnois, 90-88, and Indiana, 73-70. In the heart of the schedule's three toughest weeks, Notre Dame also lost an overtime battle to an exceptional­ ly competent, poised, and well-coached North Carolina five, but then came back to beat DePaul, Detroit, and Butler in succession and by convincing margins. Andreoli, who has made a major contribution to the team's success with a cool head and a hot hand, com­ mented: "We corrected our defensive lapses, and our offense is smoother since we learned to play well to­ gether; it's little things, like not passing up a good shot when you have it. Everybody is doing his part: Larry is hitting well from outside, Ronnie is our best man on the offensive boards. Jay is strong under the basket, Walt is our best rebounder, and Matty does an exceptionally good job of setting up the forwards. He realizes that in our offense the point man must think primarily of giv­ ing the shot to the forwards or center, and only sec­ ondarily of taking the jump shot himself. Any time the point man scores more than ten points, it's a great per­ formance." Andreoli's casualness on the court belies his desire, but that is perhaps typical of this team. It is a team which doesn't yell "We've got desire." Rather, they work hard and let the record speak for itself. By March second, it should have a good deal to say. The Scholastic While some were surprised at La- monica's fine performance, many were not. At Notre Dame Lamoniea was noted as an excellent field gen­ eral, a good ball handler, and a com­ petent passer. His passing improved greatly through each of his three seasons. Last year, Lamoniea com­ pleted half of the 128 passes thrown for 821 yards and six touchdowns. In the Pittsburgh game he equaled a Notre Dame record set by Angelo Lamoniea: BerteUi by hurling four touchdown passes. In the Oklahoma game he completed all five passes thrown, and against Iowa he gained 144 yards East-West passing and eighty-five yards on the ground. Lamoniea was drafted by the Green Bay Packers and by the Buffalo Bills Star of the American Football League. He decided to play for the Bills because "they gave me the contract that I wanted." Lamoniea also said that "I thought I would have a better chance by Bob Scheffing playing for Buffalo than for Green Bay. The Packers will have Bart Starr around for some time and I'm not the kind of ball player to sit on the bench." After the Shrine game Lamoniea received a telegram from the Bill's end coach Lou Saban en­ couraging him to report for drills and Hefty Daryle Lamoniea, the some­ Lamoniea clearly outpassed the much saying that they were counting on times brilliant quarterback of the last heralded Gibbs.

Sixty thousand people watched as the native Cali- fornian unleashed twenty-eight passes, completing twenty, for 349 yards and three touchdowns. Lamoniea, who was elected of­ fensive captain by his teammates, shattered the Shrine Game records for yards gained passing and for touchdown tosses. Yet it took a last- minute touchdown drive to win the game. He had to lead the East from their own fifteen-yard line with only three minutes remaining to break a 19-19 tie and give the East a six point triumph. Lamoniea was unanimously named the game's Most Valuable Player and he deserved it. All week long the San Francisco newspapers had been saying that the West would win be­ cause of its superiority in the air.

26 The Scholastic at least once." The spirit of secrecy still lives with the Thursday Throw­ back. A close friend of "Squire's" supplied much of this article's infor­ mation, only under strict promise that no names would be revealed. The Throwback distributed only 30 or 40 copies of each issue, but they were well placed. The President and his vice-presidents received copies, as did the deans and various faculty members. The SCHOLASTIC received a copy, and the rest were filtered to the student body by a random choice of box numbers. Speaking for the present. Father Joseph Hoffman, who works THE SAFE WAYto stay alert with student publications, at Notre Dame today, says, "There is a valid without harmful stimulants place for the student's point of view and the student's voice.

And certain limits do have to be ap­ plied." Father Hoffman continued, "For example, how can the 'student voice' call for the resignation of a coach or faculty member, as the Throwback did, and expect results? Where would it stop? The University has a right and a duty to ask loyalty of its employees, and to protect those who give it." A volume of the 1955-56 Thursday Throwback is on file in the library's Notre Dame Collection. Attempts, as in 1957, to revive the Throwback have failed. As Mr. Schaefer said, "It was strange and unusual that a student would send a volume to us." But, as was noted earlier, there was practicality in the Thursday Throw- back's joke. To again quote "Squire's" letter Why, you may ask, should the li­ brary keep these copies? There are two answers: first of all, the Throwback has historical interest in that some of the best student minds on campus have used it as a media for their criticism. Perhaps in the future the Throwback will liave great interest. Secondly, the Throwback has vnthout a doubt LET VITALiS® KEEP YOUR HAIR NEAT ALL DAY WITHOUT GREASE! been the most controversial local Keep the oil in the can.
