...bipartisan group of reformers is made up of Republicans William Saxbe of Ohio and Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania and Democrats Alan Cranston of California and Harold Hughes of Iowa. Because this was their first term, they were not accustomed to the quaint ways in which the Senate fails to conduct its business, and they felt frustrated. Saxbe, who knows how to exert power as a result of his experience as a speaker of the Ohio house of representatives, complained last summer that "anyone who thinks being a Senator is fun just hasn't had much." Cranston, equally irked...
...Nursing homes are often unsafe. Investigation of a fire that killed 32 people in a nursing home in Marietta, Ohio, disclosed that the building failed to meet some safety standards, and that personnel had received no training in emergency procedures. The report goes on to note that though the Federal Government dispenses vast funds, inspection of the homes is left to the states, which are often less than diligent...
RUNNING BACKS. John Brockington, Ohio State, 6 ft. 1 in., 216 lbs.; and Steve Worster, Texas, 6 ft., 210 lbs. Brockington, a pile-driving plunger who "picks up three yards when the hole isn't there," as one pro scout was overheard to remark, set an O.S.U. record this season with 1,040 yds. gained. Ranked as one of the best of a long line of classic Buckeye fullbacks, he is also an effective receiver on swing patterns and has great breakaway speed. In fact, he is also used on some kickoff returns. Worster is nicknamed King Kong...
TIGHT END. Jan White, Ohio State, 6 ft. 2 in., 216 lbs. Rated by football men as "one of the best all-round athletes in sight," White is a triple threat-a remarkably versatile player whom the pros could easily turn into a wide receiver or a running back. Swift, shifty and sticky-fingered, he is a crunching blocker whom the experts admire for his amazingly consistent performances and his all-devouring desire. He has played in only one losing game in his high school and college career...
CORNERBACKS. Tim Anderson, Ohio State, 6 ft., 194 lbs.; and Clarence Scott, Kansas State, 6 ft. 1 in., 180 lbs. Anderson, says a recruiter, has "that battling temperament to stay with his man no matter what." Speedier than many of the receivers he covers, he figures to be a pro starter in his rookie season. Scott's career statistics at Kansas State tell all: 121 tackles, 67 assists, 3 fumble recoveries, 25 passes broken up and 12 interceptions. As one pro recruiter puts it: "He knows how to get where he's going before the ball does...
