Looking back at the last ten weeks, even the most avid Irish fan has to admit that there hasn't been too much reason for joy, and perhaps even a little justification for remorse. However, this has not been the case as far as the student body is concerned. I think that everyone connected with the University should be commended on the spirit shown this season, proving that there is really something distinct about the spirit of Notre Dame, and gi\nng ample proof that we don't back our teams because they are winner's but because they are OUR teams. Many people were looking at us this year and I believe" that we have passed the acid test. A week after the Oklahoma catastrophe, we received a letter from two € girls who had visited the University for the first time. These girls were neither sentimentalists nor radicals about Notre Dame before that weekend. The following is an excerpt from that letter.

"We arrived back safe and sound, but hardly happy to be back. If the University of Notre Dame ever stands in need of a press agent, it has two of the most enthusiastic it can ever find in us. Notre Dame is an experience that every college girl should be allowed to have—it is simply mai-\'^elous. We just can't say what it is about ND—it is just a very warm and glowing atmosphere that penneates the whole University. We can't remember seeing an un­ smiling face—and the enthusiasm, noise and excitement of that i-ally. Well—I guess you understand what we mean. Then of course we think that the constant awareness of Christ and Our Lady has something to do with it, too. Perhaps you there are so close that you don't notice it— but even the presence of a crucifix wherever you go is quite a significant thing to an outsidei-. It somehow symbolizes that unexplainable "feeling" of Notre Dame. I guess that the most logical conclusion that one can draw about this different "feeling" is that the University itself lives and breathes—and every breath it di"aws is the gift of every one of the wonderful people that is a part of Notre Dame."

To move from this idea a little, it is Tyler's opinion that although the schedule is tough next year, the Ii-ish should wind up with a very good record, certainly in the Top Ten. With some 25 lettermen returning Coach Bi-ennan cei-tainly has the nucleus around which to build his ball club. Also in our favor is the fact that while the fi-eshman team should g^ive a number of players to the varsity, Brennan will not have to depend on them as he had to depend on last year's freshman team. We look for next year's Irish to finish with no worse than an eight and two record. The brightest spot in our rather drab winter was Paul Hornung. Paul, although hampered by two dislocated thumbs, lived up to his reputation as one of the best in Irish history, even though he was playing on a sub-par Irish squad. As Lariy Cooke so aptly put it, Paul graciously dimmed his chances for All-American rating to aid the team in any way possible, play­ ing fullback in the latter stages of the season, although he was unaccustomed to that position. He did this Avillingly because he thought that it would aid the team. He was undoubtedly the best all-around offensive back in the country and cei-tainly the best defensive back that we have seen this season. It is hard for us to see how certain national news outlets failed to place Paul on their All-America first team. He did everything that was asked of him and then some. He was outstanding against the best football teams in the country. He was an All-American all the way—John Glavin.
