That ritual ended in 1933, when F.D.R., calling at the White House, roiled Hoover's feelings by suggesting that the President would probably be too busy to return the call. Snapped Hoover: "Mr. Roosevelt, you'll learn pretty soon that the President of the U.S. doesn't call on anybody...

From 1935 to 1937 Kuharich was a sturdy and aggressive guard on some of Notre Dame's solid teams (the three-year record: 19-5). Kuharich left Notre Dame with just one ambition: to return as head football coach.
