Better than Notre Dame. Grambling's administrators find the school's emphasis on athletics hard to deny-especially since President Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones, 63, doubles as the college baseball coach. Since World War II, Jones' teams have won 463 games and lost only 79 in the mostly Negro Southwestern Athletic Conference. But Grambling's big sport is football. It has 20 alumni on the pro rosters this year -more than any school except Notre Dame-including All-Pro Defensive End Willie Davis of the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs' defensive tackle...
When a new gut appears, the word travels fast. Meteorology 100 at the University of Wisconsin drew 400 students one semester, 800 the next. The Rev. Thomas J. Brennan's freshman philosophy course at Notre Dame is so popular, and easy, that enrollment is limited-and athletes and foreign students seem to be preferred. Their most difficult task is putting up with Father Brennan's idiosyncrasy of flipping matchbooks at them during class. Catching them is not easy; he has developed a curve and a slider...
...coach put him in as a defensive back," says one scout, "I'm sure that in ten minutes he'd be the best defensive back on the field. He simply can do everything." So can Keyes. In Purdue's 28-21 victory over Notre Dame, he kicked off, played halfback and flanker on offense, and cornerback on defense. "Shifty power, great speed and acceleration," notes a scouting report. "Could play either offense or defense in the pros right...
...LINEBACKERS: Fred Carr, 21, Texas at El Paso, 6 ft. 5 in., 232 Ibs., Wayne Meylan, 21, Nebraska, 6 ft., 239 Ibs., and Mike McGill, 21, Notre Dame, 6 ft. 2 in., 230 Ibs. "You won't believe this guy," a scout says of Carr. "He runs 40 yds. in 4.6 sec.-which is the speed of a lot of flankers in this league." Another scout calls Carr "the best foot ball player I've seen this year"; a third predicts that he will be the first player picked in the pro draft. Meylan...
...SAFETY MEN: Charles West, 21, Texas at El Paso, 6 ft. 1 in., 190 Ibs., and Tom Schoen, 21, Notre Dame, 5 ft. 11 in., 185 Ibs. West, say the scouts, has "excellent speed" and "the ability to diagnose an offensive play quickly." He also is "a sticker," pro parlance for a hard, sure tackier-an absolute necessity at safety, where a missed tackle means six points. An elusive punt returner (he has run back three for touchdowns in his college career), Schoen has "a nose for the ball"-a hard nose. "He's a real fighter," says...
