Lattner, a pretty fair halfback for Notre Dame, has done football a service not only with his playing ability but with a simple statement that the sport “‘isn't the most important! thing in life.” The two-time All America dem- onstrated again that a {cotball player can also be an intelligent citizen as he accepted the Heisman Trophy as the outstanding college player of the year in New York. Sure, the good-looking, 21-year- old Chicagoan likes to run, block and tackle, But he doesn’t think football is all life has to offer. And he is sincere in attributing his suc- cess in the game to his coaches and to his teammates. “Without a GOOD team behind him there is no such thing as a so- called star,” Lattner said in ac- cepting the award at the annual banquet at the Downtown Athletic Roundup By Gayle Talbot Club. “It’s not false modesty but common sense. I wouldn’t have been able to do what I did this year without those teammates and the coaches who made it possible.” Lattner, who never knew any- thing but two-way play even in the The Key West drills have been|League this time, he'll go back to| It’s scheduled for 10 p.m. EST hurt to date because of the injury|the majors—as a manager.

The West Coast school, which won six games, tied one and lost three, gained 179.5 yards per game through the air, final N.C.A.A. Statistics showed today. The Indians, thanks mainly to Bob Garrett, the nation’s individual pace-setter, completed 130 passes for 19 touchdowns for a 56.5 av- erage. Only Utah with 57.8 per cent Mississippi State 57.1 and Cincin- nati’s 57.0 finished with a higher percentage. Defensively, Richmond gave the South its fifth consecutive Pass de- fense crown. The Virginia college allowed 49.3 yards per game on passes and was the only team in the country unscored upon through the air. Richmond’s claim to defensive honors was well-rounded. It also ‘led in fewest completions, 34, least yardage and touchdowns. The Spiders with 32.7 per cent were second to Cincinnati's $1.9 in com- pletion average. College of Pacific was runner-up to Stanford on passing offense with 41.6 yards a game. Dartmouth was third with 165.9 California 161.2 and Kansas State set an all - tim mark for major colleges, by av- eraging 23.5 yards for each of its 26 completions, » Six of which went, in aan CAGE RESULTS By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wake Forest 81, N.C.
