...since Princeton's Dick Kazmaier won the Heisman Trophy in 1951 has an Ivy League football player so captured the public fancy as has Dowling, a 6-ft. 2-in., 195-lb. junior from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, who turned down 100 scholarship offers to go to Yale-because, as his father put it: "Why go cabin class when you can go first class?" With Brian at quarterback, says a teammate, "You never know what's going to happen-but you know that you're not going to lose...
...through the '20s and '30s and even the '40s-when Notre Dame's Lujack was pitching to Leon Hart and Princeton's Dick Kazmaier was throwing strikes to Frank McPhee-the pass was a sometime thing. In his biggest year, Quarterback Lujack gained 791 yds. on passes, a figure that Terry Hanratty has already eclipsed this year with five games still to go.

He figures that football is fine training for corporate life because in both fields "You fight a lot of hard battles and you don't win unless you're smarter and tougher than the opposition." Businessman Kazmaier is "only a social athlete now-golf and tennis and that...
...through college before the whole twanging subject loomed so large. He cared more about sports. His father, an M.D. on the Princeton University faculty, is physician to the U.S. Olympics teams. At Princeton, McPhee himself roomed with "the greatest football player" in the U.S. that year, Dick Kazmaier, and when TIME put Kazmaier on the cover in 1951, McPhee, as one of his roommates, was subjected to the kind of TIME interviewing he has later inflicted on a succession of show-business celebrities. Later, in a postgraduate year at Magdalene College, Cambridge University, England, McPhee was elected captain...
