...Democrat. These were Depression years, and White was impressed by Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. "It seemed to me," he recalls, "that the Democrats had the more forward-looking programs." Hall of Fame. As a 6 ft. 2 in., 190-lb. halfback, White was a star passer, punter and runner for three seasons, 1935-36-37; in his senior year he led all major college backs in both scoring and rushing (16 touchdowns, 23 extra points), paced Colorado to an undefeated regular season, made All-America. As a pro with Pittsburgh and Detroit, he twice led the National...
Ends: Gary Collins, 21, Maryland; 6 ft. 3 in., 205 Ibs. Bill Miller, 21, Miami; 6 ft., 195 Ibs. Says one scouting report of Collins: "Fast, does everything well, has all the moves.

...undefeated Missouri, rugged End Danny LaRose (6ft. 4 in., 220 Ibs.) crashes into the enemy backfield like a runaway tank: "I like to rack the punter. If the fullback tries to block you by going for your legs, run over him the first time. He'll shy away after that." Following an impressive sophomore year, LaRose had a bad season as a junior ("The publicity went to my head"), has rallied this season to become a prime prospect for the pros. In Missouri's 21-8 victory over Penn State, LaRose recovered two fumbles, batted down key passes...
