...room oratory, and hates anything dull, especially dull football. He has always had a knack for developing topnotch passers and receivers-"probably," cracks Navy Coach Bill Elias, "because his ancestors got practice catching figs that fell out of trees." At Northwestern, Ara produced Flanker Paul Flatley (now with the Minnesota Vikings) and Quarterback Tommy Myers (Pittsburgh Steelers); at Notre Dame in 1964, it was Quarterback Huarte and End Jack Snow (Los Angeles Rams). After Huarte and Snow graduated in 1965, Parseghian had to settle for grind-it-out ground attack; although the Irish lost only two games, he still shivers...

Even before last Saturday's game, when Nebraska smashed Wisconsin, 31-3, the Chicago Daily News asked...
...that is changed now. Not only is the Big Ten losing-14 out of 25 intersectional games so far this season-it seems to be resigned to losing. Tn Minneapolis, after his Jayhawkers had beaten Minnesota, 16-14, Kansas Coach Jack Mitchell warned: "You keep raising your grade average and your football will soon be down to the caliber of the Ivy League."* The Big Ten has taken some steps in that direction. Its grade-point requirement for freshmen on athletic scholarships is 1.7-. 1 higher than the N.C.A.A.'s own. Big Ten schools are limited to a total...
