Fenwick Banquet Costs Hornung and a Harlequin Offer
Notre Dame star Paul Hornung did not get reimbursed by Fenwick boosters for speaking at a Saturday banquet. A Louisville promoter offered $1,000 to join the College All-Stars against the Harlem Globetrotters, but Hornung could not rearrange his Fenwick date. Former Irish center Jim Mense compared Hornung with Ralph Guglielmi, noting Hornung’s greater ball control and quickness, while Guglielmi was faster with the ball. Mense praised Eddie Crowder as the best split quarterback he’s seen. A separate Middletown mail misaddress incident involved David Danner sending a letter marked Lucasville to himself, which was returned from the Lucasville post office.
