"1 was getting footballs in the  women sophomores now. Were sealed on the grass beside the athletic and convocation Center last wednes Day the Day sophomores could buy their football tickets. The frustration of Gerry Faust s five seasons As coach which Cli mailed with the humiliation of the 58-7 loss to Miami at the end of last season did not seem to affect the ritual for the new season.

In the Winter when you re trudging through the Snow you think Why did 1 come Here an you think of the  they do not identify with the Only institution to accumulate personal traditions where sons and daughters follow siblings parents and grandparents and where football weekends bring them altogether to help share a meaningful col lege experience. They just would t Trad what happens Here the Only Way you can understand notre Dame is to go Here said Reggie Ward a Junior receiver from Long each Calif. It s so hard to explain what you feel coming out of the  say you can i feel so much Dif Ferent than coming out of the Tunnel a Oklahoma or the Rose  Ward feels that he does. He stood atthe Edge of the practice Field in the Early evening. In the distance the band was practising the Victory March. "1 met someone who went Here 47 years ago Ward said. That s a Long Lime. Some people Don t live that  masses see the Gold helmets and the years melt away. The Brick stadium with its Plain while Diagonal stripes in its end zones has looked the same for  results have fluctuated the expectations have  re seeing a lot of fair weather fans coming out now said Mike Kova Wieski linebacker and Captain. Thai up sets me. When you walk through the Campus you Don i have a lot of How s the season going to go i think they re expecting us to have another six and five season. We re going to change things Al certain unfriendly places the Hope is that the Effort to change will not succeed Holtz the reluctant focal Point of the ritual arrives in his office at 6 15each morning and rarely goes anywhere other than meeting rooms and the prac Tice Field. He said his first recruiting season a notre Dame showed the program s image was intact. I think the Glamour of notre Dame will always be there,." he up photo notre Dame s Lou Holtz. Remains philosophical said. I m sure there were some athlete thai questioned whether we could win. Everybody wants to visit but not every body wants logo to school in this environment because you do have to be disciplined individual. There were some athletes thai wanted logo other places where they could lift weights and spend time on football. We tried to be honest with them. And i m sure then were some that questioned whether we could win be cause a lot of coaches have said we can  can to notre Dame can t win of yeah Holtz said. That s the thing that was used against us quite often in recruiting a school where an individual goes to class and Doe things Lik Elhat can t compete on saturday. I Don t agree with that Al allthe coach is capable of bending audiences Over in laughter but he has cutback in Bis schedule of appearances. He is Friendly and cooperative in the face of unceasing National attention Bui last week As the anticipation for the Michi Gan game increased he sent Shock wave through the athletic department with a request that practices become  gales were not locked to everyone but inc coach did object to a television Crew filming practice. He May have Over looked the fact that the Crew was from his own television show. Holtz remains philosophical about Al the anticipation when he was asked if he had looked Forward 10 the Start of practice he said i decided a Long time ago that we Don t enjoy what we re doing because we wish it away. My wife be comes pregnant and we can hardly Wail until the child is born. Once the child s born we can hardly Wail until it sleep through the night. Then we can hardly Wail Lor it to walk. We can hardly Wail for it to talk. We can hardly Wail for in to go to school. We can hardly Wail unlit in plays Little league. We can hardly wait until Itcan babysit on is own. The next thing you know your children Are grown Ana gone and All you re doing is looking to the a Cal stage. We re always looking for Ward to the Cal bus  for the 59,075 who will attend Euc Home game and the subway alumni who live in places that Don t even have sub ways the anticipated Slop is a major bowl. Troy Duncan a Sophomore from Manhattan heard that a planned trip to los Angeles for the game against South pm Cal will Cost 1200. When he heard thai the Cost will be More than $300, he reviewed his budget. Even with a pizza every night he said that s my spend ing Money for More than a  but if the list game had an Impact Ona High ranking he and his Roommate Tim Cryan of Blackwood n.j., agree they would try to find a Way. The question is can the coach find away victories arc considered inevitable even if a Chance for a National championship lakes Lime. By that Lime Well be seniors said Susan spins a soph Omore from Allentown a. I believe in miracles the coach said quietly. Bui i also believe the source of the miracles is nol in this  the overpowering sense of responsibility extends to everyone.

This year our goal is the National championship said All Sec linebacker Dale Jones a four year starter and Leader of defense that returns nine of 11 starters. Coaches Aren t As anxious to make themselves targets in the grueling Sec which includes teams like Auburn Ala Bama Georgia and Fonda. Certainly we Are not the favorite coach Johnny majors said. We have too Many things to replace Alabama has All the areas you eke to have Corning track to com Pete for a National championshipbut majors an All american tailback at Tennessee in 1956 who coached Pius Burgh to a National championship in j97g, says a repeat of last season s title run is a possibility. First the team must Settle on a quarterback to replace the Tony Robmson Daryl Dickey combination of 1985,the Best bets Are sophomores Randy Sanders and Jeff Fnu vis. And if the falter and Redshirt freshman Moses col Lins matures quickly vol opponents can expect to see a younger version of Tony Robinson in the pocket. What i d like is something Halfway Between Tony Robinson and Daryl Dickey said offensive coordinator Walt Harris. Robinson was gifted but Dickey was As dedicated a player As you  after Robinson was Hurt against Ala Bama Dickey stepped in and Francis be came the top substitute seeing jus Lenough playing time to put him ahead of Sanders on the depth  is quicker and a better passer than Sanders who is More experienced and comfortable at quarterback.

Gone from the 19s5 team Are cornerback Tommy Sims and safely Chris White who led the Nalion in interceptions with 10 and added a special chemistry to a defense which recovered Fum Bles and grabbed 22 interceptions.
