Dodd Calls O.J.
Greatest He’s Seen
HOUSTON (UPI) —Bobby
Dodd, athletic director at Geor
gia Tech, said Wednesday night
that O. J. Simpson of Southern
California was the greatest foot
ball player he had ever seen.
“I have never seen a greater
football player in college ball,
and I’ve seen 'em all,” said
Dodd whose football career be
gan in 1924.
"That 15 - yard run on the
goal line (against UCLA) is one
of the greatest runs I’ve ever
seen and then he comes back
and breaks for 60 (actually 64)
yards (for the winning touch
down).”
Simpson was voted UPl’s col-
for the quarterback job, and in
juries to offensive stars Dave
Parks, John Thomas and Mon
ty Sticles and defensive whiz
Jimmy Johnson haven’t helped.
Parks, who played out his op
tion this season, left for his
home in Texas earlier this
week, saying he doubted if he
would return.
George Mira will get a shot
at quarterback this Sunday
against the Falcons, who have
lost five straight.
