...sacrifice quickness for weight," says one scout, but in the case of Farr and Jones, there is nothing to sacrifice-they both run the 100 in under 10 sec., have "the strength to break tackles" and "an eye for the goal line." The pros are also high on Notre Dame's Nick Eddy: "He'd be on our list," says one, "except for the fact that he can't be drafted." The reason: since he missed a semester because of illness, Eddy was eligible for the draft last year, when he was still a junior...
...ENDS: Gene Washington, 22, Michigan State, 6 ft. 3 in., 219 Ibs., and Jack Clancy, 22, Michigan, 6 ft. 1 in., 192 lbs. Washington, who caught five passes for 123 yds. in Michigan State's 10-10 tie with Notre Dame, is also the Big Ten high hurdles champion and "a cinch to make it big in the pros"-either as a split end or a tight end. Clancy is too light to play anything except split end, but he caught 76 passes for 1,079 yds.-almost two-thirds of Michigan's total passing yardage this year...
...GUARDS: Tom Regner, 22, Notre Dame, 6 ft. 1 in., 245 Ibs., and Bob Hyland, 20, Boston College, 6 ft. 5 in., 258 Ibs. A few seasons ago, most pro teams would not consider drafting college guards, simply because they were too small. No longer. Regner, say the scouts, is "the finest guard in the country," and Hyland was a stick-out despite the fact that he played for a team that compiled a 4-6 record against mediocre competition...
...ENDS: Charles ("Bubba") Smith, 21, Michigan State, 6 ft. 7 in., 283 Ibs., and Alan Page, 21, Notre Dame, 6 ft. 5 in., 238 Ibs. Smith's size alone is enough to earn him raves, but the cheers are muffled by doubts: "He is a mauler. But his trouble is that he fails to go all out all the time. Maybe for money he will-but in college he would kill you for three plays, then rest for two." Page's problem, if any, is just the opposite-overeagerness. "He is so quick that...
...TACKLES: Kevin Hardy, 21, Notre Dame, 6 ft. 5 in., 270 Ibs. and Loyd Phillips, 21, Arkansas, 6 ft. 3 in., 241 Ibs. "A stud" is the way admiring pros describe Hardy, a draft-eligible junior who not only bulwarked the Irish defense but also punted for an average of 42 yds., and is the only athlete in 20 years to letter in three sports (football, basketball, baseball) at Notre Dame. Phillips is "too light to play tackle in the pros-he'll probably be switched to linebacker." But his attitude is strictly professional: "Football is his whole reason...
