I never passed PE. I made 200 yard for the 20 minute run.

I walked from the Main Gate to the Pay Caf, got a chocolate malt, and walked back to the main gate. O'Sullivan busted my balls for not lying. I refused to do a twenty minute run . I knew I would hurt myself. I offered to do a 5 mile swim, but they (Noel) wouldn't accept it. After the season was over I never went back to gym. Senior year I went to see Dean Waddick to get my schedule signed. I told him I needed to pass gym. He laughed and told me that he had never made a Senior take gym.

Coach Stark, while one of the great men at ND and a marine, was loathe to fight any sort of power.
