Halfback Farr is a legitimate All-America candidate who has aver aged 6 yds. per carry so far this season. Flanker Harold Busby is a threat to go all the way any time he gets his hands on one of Beban's passes-because he runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.4 sec. Tackle John Richardson (254 Ibs.) and Guard...
