Crazy? Maybe. Before all the prime beef was gone, the A.F.L.'s Miami Dolphins grabbed Purdue's Star Quarterback Bob Griese; the Denver Broncos took Syracuse Halfback Floyd Little; and the Detroit Lions snapped up U.C.L.A. Halfback Mel Farr. After that, the pros were mostly going through the motions and hoping for a sleeper...
...HALFBACKS: Mel Farr, 22, U.C.L.A., 6 ft. 2 in., 212 Ibs., and Clint Jones, 21, Michigan State, 6 ft. 1 in., 201 lbs. If anybody wonders where the old-fashioned 165-lb. scatbacks went, he might take a look at all those 275-lb. defensive tackles playing football these days.

It was quite a struggle until Quarterback Gary Beban engineered a 56-yd. scoring drive in the third quarter. After that, Halfback Mel Farr scooted for two TDs, and the Bruins won the game...
...against Syracuse, he plunged 4 yds. for one score, set up another with a 47-yd. pass, and threw 13 yds. for a third. Against Missouri last week, he completed eleven out of 20 passes, for 204 yds. Even so, he is hardly a one-man team. 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...
