Tommy told us again how he got them. They had announced from their Marine base that they were going as a group to some university to play football This was an invitation to buy. Some of the schools wanted part of the seven-ma- n Marine platoon. They wanted to pick their people. But the Marines stayed together and when BYU offered to take the matched set of seven they all went to Cougarville. Of course that was an unusual case. But right then, according to Tommy Hudspeth, schools started looking to the services for some of their graduating athletes. Like Utahs Bill Meek he has seven men nho left the three academies to return to outside institutions. Thats a good pasture to proselyte in, so it seems. This time BYU doesn t have the Marines and mtfst work on its freshman program. The Cougars hope to bring in enough frosh each year and then add a few transfers to make up the continual flow of talent. Thats the preferred program at any university. One Unusual Casa In Point Sometimes the transfer from junior college is an important item and BYU has one unusual case. Don Griffin, who seems to be the Cat No. 1 quarterback, went to BYU several years ago. Coach Hudspeth needed him more on defense than offense Hudspeth had a quarterback named Virgil Carter. Griffin took offense to the position on defenses and left BYU and turned up at Arkansas. Immediately he was assigned to the defensive unit. Griffin then reasoned that if he would play defense at Arkansas he might as well go back to, BYU and play defense. But this meant more time lost unless he rev; turned via the junior college program and cams: through as a graduate. He went to Ricks College See MILLER Rage B-- 7 Two-tim- Preston, Idaho; A David Byrd, Bountiful, A Howard Ford A Peter Bountiful; Gonzales, Clearfield. 8- 1Randy Esstev, Ogden; Russ Mears, Bountiful; Earl Schneiter, Tooele, Tom Salt Lake City, A Fred Sorensen, Fisher; A Hemp Greene, Salt Lake City; A Ron Kimball; A Tom McFw-an- ; A Bill Preece City; A Jim Byrd, Johnson, Bountiful. 11th had a string of threes from No. 10 through the 13th.
