GUARDS. Ken Jones, Arkansas State, 6 ft. 5 in., 255 lbs.; and Joe Devlin, Iowa, 6 ft. 5 in., 277 lbs. Jones is the kind of guard the late Vince Lombardi would have admired: with 4.8 speed in the 40-yd. dash, he pulls out swiftly ahead of his running backs.

To be sure, Leo is of the Vince Lombardi persuasion: "Show me a good loser in professional sports," he declares, "and I'll show you an idiot." But having thumbed sportsmanship out of the game, the Lip spends the rest of his book atoning for his early excesses-by introducing some worse ones...
