For instance in Sunday’s workout several of the players were yelling “Hurt donut.”
 
Pont (Indiana head football coach John Pont—ed.) was a little puzzled when one of the players came up to him and asked:
 
“Do you know what hurt donut means?”
 
“No,” Pont replied.
 
“It’s like this,” said the player, who them grabbed Pont’s arm and jabbed it with a knuckle.
 
“Hurts donut?” the player said to Pont.
   
26 December 1967, Indianapolis (IN) Star, pg. 31, col. 2:

They began asking each other ‘did you get your Hertz donut last night.’”
 
Pont’s curiosity finally got the best of him and asked them “what’s a Hertz donut?”. One of the players grabbed Pont’s arm with one hand, then hit the coach in the bicep with his fist. “Hurts, don’t it?” THe player laughed.
