...TACKLES: Maurice ("Mo") Moorman, 22, Texas A. & M., 6 ft. 5 in., 252 lbs., and Ron Vary, 20, Southern Cal, 6 ft. 6 in., 265 lbs. One scout calls Vary "the best offensive blocker in college ball in a long, long time." While the pros see the pair as the best college tackles around, they will have to wait. Both Moorman and Yary are juniors...
...CORNERBACKS: John Charles, 22, Purdue, 6 ft. 1 in., 195 Ibs., and Henry King, 22, Utah State, 6 ft, 4 in., 213 Ibs. Injured in October, Charles probably will be back in action when Purdue meets Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl Jan. 2, and that spells trouble for U.S.C.'s pass receivers. He "oozes confidence," has the speed to keep step with the fastest ends. King is "a big, rangy boy who fights for the ball and just loves to hit people...
...SAFETY MEN: Nate Shaw, 21, Southern Cal, 6 ft. 2 in., 192 Ibs., and Rick Volk, 21, Michigan, 6 ft. 3 in., 192 Ibs. Shaw, say the scouts, is "outstanding all the time; he was outstanding even when his team lost to Notre Dame 51-0." Volk is "a wheel horse" whose specialty is the open-field tackle-the safety's toughest job. A miss is worth six points, but "Volk doesn't miss...
...Chiefs' real strength is their depth. To back up Quarterback Dawson, Kansas City has Pete Beathard, who led Southern Cal to the national college championship in 1962. Last week Dawson injured a hand in the third quarter, and Beathard came in to complete seven out of ten passes. On defense, the Chiefs are so rich that they cannot find a regular slot for their No. 1 draft choice of 1965-Minnesota Lineman Aaron Brown, who signed for a $300,000 bonus. Or maybe they're taking pity on their opponents. Brown stands 6 ft. 5 in. and weighs...
...ranked team, faced the Irish wrath. Notre Dame Quarterback Coley O'Brien, subbing for injured Terry Hanratty, passed for 255 yds., and his mates gained another 206 on the ground. Final score in the slaughter: 51-0-which ought to make Purdue a prohibitive favorite against Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2. After all, Notre Dame only beat the Boilermakers...
