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...
...draft choice of both the Green Bay Packers and Houston Oilers as a junior last year. Garrett led the nation in rushing this season (with 1,440 yds.), and last week he became the second Negro (the first: Syracuse's Ernie Davis in 1961) to win the Heisman Trophy as the year's best college player. Small as running pro-halfbacks go, he will probably be converted to flanker. "Out there he'll get the daylight he needs...
...quite a list. First come the sportswriters, who awarded him the Heisman Trophy as the U.S.'s No. 1 college player in 1956, after he sparked Notre Dame's Fighting Irish to their worst (two wins, eight losses) season in history.

And there was talk that with a backfield of Zloch, Eddy, Wolski and Conjar, Notre Dame Coach Ara Parseghian was opening an all-purpose delicatessen instead of fielding a football team. But just for practice, Notre Dame's 1965 varsity overwhelmed an alumni squad quarterbacked by Huarte, 72-0. And last week they opened the season by clobbering California...
Then Coach Otto Graham sent in a new quarterback-Notre Dame's John Huarte (pronounced Hew-art), 22, last year's Heisman Trophy winner. In a matter of seconds, the 68,000 spectators were sitting up and beginning to wonder who was the pro and who the amateur. Calmly sidestepping blitzing Brown linebackers, Huarte effortlessly picked apart the Cleveland pass defense. In one spectacular stretch in the third quarter, he completed six consecutive passes, moved the All-Stars 80 yds. for their first touchdown. The next time he got the ball, he did it again. The score: Browns...
