...SAFETY MEN: Charles West, 21, Texas at El Paso, 6 ft. 1 in., 190 Ibs., and Tom Schoen, 21, Notre Dame, 5 ft. 11 in., 185 Ibs. West, say the scouts, has "excellent speed" and "the ability to diagnose an offensive play quickly."

La Verne Andrews, 51, eldest of the singing Andrews Sisters, who quit school in 1932 at age 17 with sisters Maxine, then 14, and Patti, 12, to play the Midwest vaudeville circuit, finally rocketed to fame in 1937 with Bei Mir Bist du Schoen, went on to blend adhesive harmony and speedy tempo into such hits as Chattanooga Choo Choo, Rum and Coca Cola, Beer Barrel Polka and Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree, altogether selling 60 million copies of almost 900 recordings; of cancer; in Los Angeles...

...fact, Notre Dame's defense almost won it for the offense. In the fourth quarter, Safetyman Tom Schoen intercepted two of Raye's passes, and the Irish repeatedly fought their way into Michigan State territory-only to muff scoring opportunities. Azzaro missed a 41-yd. field goal that would have won the game, and O'Brien's frantic, wobbly passes were unlikely to make anybody forget Terry Hanratty. Finally, with Notre Dame in possession on its own 30 and only 55 seconds left, Irish Coach Ara Parseghian decided to settle for a tie. While the crowd...
