WIDE RECEIVERS. Terry Beasley, Auburn, 5 ft. 1 1 in.. 185 Ibs., and Tom Gatewood. Notre Dame, 6 ft. 2 in., 208 Ibs. Small by pro standards, Beasley, who was Sullivan's No. 1 target at Auburn, is described as a tough little monkey with great ball concentration." He is a master of the sideline pass. Despite injuries and Notre Dame's lack of an experienced quarterback this season. Gatewood is still the prime pro prospect he was when he grabbed 77 passes for 1,123 yds. in 1970, "If he grabs the ball anywhere within...
...Theismann, his name would be rhymed with Heisman even if he spelled it Zzxyz. Since taking over for the injured Terry Hanratty at the end of the 1968 season, he has led the Fighting Irish to 16 victories and only two defeats. This season, with Split End Tom Gatewood, the nation's top receiver, as his prime target, he has hit on 80 of 126 passes to lead the nation's quarterbacks with an astounding .635 completion average.

Behind Fullback Steve Worster, the Longhorns ground out two touchdowns on the glutinous turf to take a fourth-quarter lead. Then Theismann shot a 24-yd. touchdown pass to Halfback Jim Yoder...
...history has supplied Horgan with some fine prototypes: his tall, gaunt, white-bearded General Quait brings to crotchety life the veteran U.S. Indian fighter, General George Crook; and his hero's final mission recalls the remarkable trek of Lieut. Charles Gatewood into the mountains of Mexico to talk the unpredictable Geronimo into surrendering. That surrender, as Horgan puts it, marked the end of "an Indian war that has raged since the days of Cortez." Matthew Hazard's Arizona was made safe for supermarkets and swimming pools, just as John Cozad's Platte River country was plowed into...
Died. Dr. Gatewood, 51, fellow of the American College of Surgeons and member of the American Medical Association; of angina pectoris; in Highland Park, Ill. His parents never gave him a first name, left him to choose his own. Because he could not find one to suit him, he died first-nameless...
