[NU Sports] Duke

Jeff:
 
C'mon, I was an anti-war protestor and McGovern supporter, but I still went  
to virtually every football game I could at Dyche.  Strotz was an aloof  
figure who did not seem to be particularly concerned as to what students felt  
about anything going on at NU (although my friend Mark Ament, as then President  
of ASG, could probably comment better from his own first-hand experience  with 
Mr. Strotz), and he was, as I recall, a strong supporter of our involvement  
in Vietnam.  I don't think the problems with the football program or  athletics 
in general were caused by anti-militaristic sentiment in  Evanston.  In fact, 
most of the NU student populace was still  traditionalist in many ways.  
Let's put the blame for our fall in FB where  it belongs:  Alex Agase left for 
what he thought were "greener pastures" in  West Lafayette, but alas (Alex?), he 
never could replicate at Purdue the  undeniable success he enjoyed at NU, and 
in his stead, our brilliant  administration hired John Pont, late of Indiana 
and Yale.  The rest  should better be left unsaid.
