Considering the 9-1 season that Notre Dame had in 1964, last year was practically a disaster. Quarterback John Huarte, the Heisman Trophy-winning passer, had graduated; so had All America End Jack Snow. The Fighting Irish had nothing left except a speedy halfback in Nick Eddy, a pile-driving fullback in Larry Conjar, and a rock'em, sock-'em offense that ground out the yardage but excited nobody. Notre Dame wound up with a 7-2-1 record, losing to Purdue and Michigan State, playing Miami...
...Anderson managed to gain exactly 4 yds. before 240-lb. Packer Linebacker Ray Nitschke borrowed his right foot for a brief demonstration of isometrics and sent him limping to the sideline. Grabowski was held to 11 yds. in four carries, and Southern California's Mike Garrett, the 1965 Heisman Trophy winner, broke loose for a total of 19 yds. On the sideline, All-Star Coach John Sauer was still screaming, "Come on, defense!" as the clock ran out on a score of 38-0-the worst trouncing an All-Star team had taken since the Philadelphia Eagles...
Born. To Ensign Roger Staubach, 24, Navy's All-America quarterback of the early 1960s and 1963 Heisman trophy winner (TIME cover, Oct. 18, 1963), and Marianne Staubach, 24: their first child, a girl; in Athens, Ga., where Rog just finished naval-supply school prior to being shipped to Viet...

Having passed, punted and rushed the Tigers to 22 straight victories-still a record-Heisman Trophy Winner Richard William Kazmaier neatly straight-armed a pro draft ("With only one league, there was never that much money no matter how good you were"), opted for Harvard Business School. Now 35, his hair thinning slightly and his weight about ten pounds over his 171-lb. playing trim, Kazmaier...
Nice, Round Figure. All-America Halfback Mike Garrett, the Heisman Trophy winner from Southern Cal, made it clear what he wanted: "$300,000 is a nice, round figure." Illinois Fullback Jim Grabowski, the No. 1 draft choice of both the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers and the A.F.L.'s Miami Dolphins, denied that he was demanding a $500,000 package. "I just don't know," he said innocently, "where these stones get started...
