Rabbits & Guns. By trade, Hayes is a halfback, not a sprinter. He earns his keep at A. & M. (room, board, tuition and free laundry) toiling autumns for Gaither's padded legions; he scored eleven touchdowns, leading the team to an 8-2 season last year, and he might already belong to some pro football club if 1964 were not an Olympic year (he has been drafted by both the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys).
