...savvy college publicity man looks around to see what positions are sewed up before he starts building up a candidate. This season, with Notre Dame's great Quarterback Johnny Lujack in circulation, it was not much use ballyhooing another quarterback.

The man Harlow foars most despite his questionable showing this fall is fullback Levi Jackson, who needs only one good afternoon to make football history...
