sader1970: In the 60s when I was there, in addition to day of game, there were football training tables 2 or 3 days a week during season. It was considered a "plum" assignmment for a student-waiter at Kimball such as yours truly who worked those tables in addition to the regular dinner assignment. You got extra punches on your grant-in-aid time card for the work, and got to know the coaches and the players who you didn't know from class or the dorms. And it was amazing how often the cooks at Kimball "accidentally" cooked a number of extra steaks that coincidentally equalled the number of waiters.

Fr Maurice Reidy lived in my dorm, Wheeler. The story was told that he had been a lacrosse star in college and also that he had led the nation in punting. I don't know whether either was true. I know he worked out with or helped coach the lacrosse team. At one HC home football game in the early 1970's, one of the game officials failed to show up or got injured. Fr Reidy was pressed into service to officiate, which he did with the zebra shirt on over his cassock. It made for an impressive sight.
