...LaRose: "Great man at rushing the passer and blocking kicks." In addition, the scouts rate Indiana's solid (6 ft. 5 in., 240 Ibs.) Earl Faison as a promising defensive end ("Just an animal charging in there"), and, because of his pass-catching skills, the pros are thinking of making an offensive end out of Mississippi Halfback Bob Crespino...
...tougher." The scouts regard Illinois' Joe Rutgens, 21 (6 ft. 2 in., 245 Ibs.), as a likely defensive tackle. Though he is a tackle at Georgia Tech, Billy Shaw, 21 (6 ft. 3 in., 238 Ibs.), has the agility and speed to play guard with the pros...
...Myron Pottios, 21, Notre Dame; 6 ft. 2 in., 239 Ibs. Drafted two years ago by Baltimore, Brown is hailed as "big, fast and mean." Pottios is highly rated because he "can play either offense or defense, which makes him a good risk for the pros." The pros are also after Virginia Tech's unsung Mike Zeno, 21 (5 ft. 11 in., 240 Ibs.), but dismiss the chances of Colorado's Joe Romig, who made the first team of the United Press International's All-America. Says one scout: At 5 ft. 10 in., 200 Ibs., "Romig...
Quarterback: Norman Snead, 21, Wake Forest; 6 ft. 4 in., 208 Ibs. Although Snead was snubbed by the wire-service All-Americas, the pros call him "a pure passer" with the advantage of enough height to look over the offensive line. Right behind Snead the scouts rank North Carolina State's Roman Gabriel, 20 (6 ft. 3 in., 215 Ibs.), who is a junior. While the pros admire the all-round ability of Mississippi's Jake Gibbs, the first-stringer on most All-Americas, they generally rate both Snead and Gabriel as better passers for the N.F.L...
...last week with the Heisman Trophy as 1960's outstanding college player, Bellino could make the N.F.L., although some scouts have reservations about his size: "He'd try to block a 250-lb. defensive end and that would be the end of him." In any case, the pros figure that a four-year service stint and a bright future as a big-league baseball catcher will keep Bellino out of football. Ranked right alongside Bellino: Tom Mason, 21, Tulane; 6 ft. 1 in., 195 Ibs. Although U.P.I, and A.P. relegated Mason to their third-team All-America, many...
