...watched Red Grange and Tom Harmon, but Keyes is the greatest all-round player I've ever seen," says Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkopf. All-round athlete would be more accurate. In his senior year at George Washington Carver High School in Newport News, Va., Keyes scored 21 touchdowns in football, led the basketball team with an average 27.5 points per game, and set a state track record with a 24-ft. 4½-in. long jump. More than 80 colleges were after him until he chose Purdue. There, in his first varsity year, he was a defensive back-until...

Still, there is a diminishing interest among football players in such "snap" courses, according to Jack Mollenkoof, the coach at Purdue, one of the few Big Ten schools with a winning record (4-1) this year. Mollenkopf estimates that 15% of his players are majoring in "some form of economics." Skeptics might suggest it was Pro Football. But Coach Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State, the only Big Ten school that was still undefeated last week (after downing Michigan, 20-7), insists that all his friends are amateurs. What's more, their civil rights are being violated by the academic...

...pray for it." Fact is, Ara could barely contain his enthusiasm when the Irish opened their season against Purdue two weeks ago. "Can I say you'll win all your games this year?" inquired a sportswriter, and Parseghian replied happily: "Say anything you want to." Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkopf, by contrast, seemed outrageously morose. "If you beat Notre Dame the year before," he warned, "the next year is hell...

...sure was. To the astonishment of practically everybody except Mollenkopf (who is obviously used to this sort of thing), Notre Dame produced the passer it had been lacking all last year: Terry Hanratty, 18, a sophomore quarterback from Butler, Pa.-which happens to be near the home of the New York Jets' Joe Namath, who happens to have been Hanratty's boyhood hero. Ahead of every good passer, of course, there is a good receiver, and the Irish have one of those too: End Jim Seymour, 19, another sophomore, who stands 6 ft. 4 in., weighs...

...freshman team), Hanratty threw 24 passes and completed 16 for 304 yds. Seymour caught 13 of those tosses for 276 yds. and three touchdowns-breaking just about every single-game record for a Notre Dame pass receiver. The Fighting Irish won the game 26-14, and all poor Jack Mollenkopf could have said was "See, I told you so." Well, if Jack thought he had it rough, imagine how Northwestern's Alex Agase felt. Alex inherited his job from Parseghian, who moved to Notre Dame after his Wildcats had beaten the Irish four years in a row. Against Northwestern...
