Taken from The Success Principles:

Frank Szymanski, Notre Dame centre in the 1940s, had been called in as a witness in a civil suit.

"Are you on the Notre Dame football team this year?" the judge asked.
"Yes, Your Honour."
"What position?"
"Centre, Your Honour."
"How good a centre?"

Szymanski squirmed in his seat, but he said firmly:"Sir, I'm the best centre Notre Dame has ever had."

Coach Frank Leahy, who was in the courtroom, was surprised. Szymanski had always been modest and unassuming. So when the proceedings were over, he took Szymanski aside and asked why he had made such a statement. Szymanski blushed.

"I hated to do it, Coach," he said. "But, after all, I was under oath."
