He mentioned the vicious practices of tlie college
recruiting world these days and spoke as a past
master of the trade. He jokingly announced that
Miami had just jelled negotiations on the officials
for the Miami-XD game and these would include
tu'o brothers of ^lianiPs Coach Talc, some relatives
of Mooney and two other close friends of Miami.
After fielding pitched questions from some of our
sharpies he ended an interesting talk that was
Well received. One of our faithful announced he
wished him and the Hurricanes the same kind of
season XD had last year (get licked in the last
game!) but I suggest the old grads of XD would
not care to sit until the last tw*o minutes to
win this one.
On the subject of football, you might be interested
to see some of the Irish because Andy
Gustafson, head of the Xortli-Soutb Shrine game

Muskegon
Heaven blessed us with a beautiful day and the
presence of "MOOSE" KRAUSE for our sixth
annual golf stag held at the Pontaluna Country
Club on Tuesday, July 27. We missed some of the
usual participants from South Bend: FATHER
BREXXAX, FATHER DURBIX, BILL E.\RLEY,
DEVORE, CAHILL, KLIXE and O'XAPOLITAXO,
but Moose filled in beautifully and added' the right
spark. Some say that Moose's attendance ^vas a
side trip from a short vacation at the Cannon
(GEORGE and BILL) Lodge on the Pere Marquette
River at Baldwin.
We arc grateful to the Cannons for thus making
Moose a\>ailable as well as a great deal of thanks
due to tireless ST^VX TYLER JR., our energetic
Club President (vvliom wc are maintaining in that
office "in perpetuum") and TV and radio personality,
JIM MORSE, along with newly acquired
TOM MOORE (of the Detroit Ball Bearing Moores)
and the ole faithful and reliable BILL T.ARD.AXI,
the Hackley Bank executive, all of whom contributed
much time and effort to make this year's
affair a friendly as welt as a financial success.
Tills annual stag has grown in popularity and is
well attended by our non-alumni friends and sympathizers
and Wc do not have any trouble getting
together a crowd of 150 or better, which was the
approximate number this year. It is helpful to
our scholarship fund and helps keep the Xotre
Dame spirit alive in our area.
