Double of Ernie Davis
Poses Threat to LSU

MIAMI, Fla. Dec. Is (AP).-
Louisiana State might do well
to watch a Colorado halfback
named Bill Harris the Tigers
will meet in the Orange Bowl
football game a week from

Harris is a 6-foot-3 sopho-
more weighing 210 pounds
who bears a striking physical
and facial resemblance to
Syracuse's Ernie Davis.
And he could be every bit
as good as Davis" said Colo
RADIO Coach Sonny Grandelius
at practice yesterday. Harris
is fast, strong and he's got
the instructive moves. He has
the knack of cutting at the
right time-picking his way"
Harris himself explained
why he didn't make the trip
when Colorado came here to
play Miami last fall.
81 was loafing," he said. Il
was too lazy. I didn't deserve
to make the trip. I was lucky
to even be on the fifth team. !"
While Colorado was in Miami
for the regular season game,
Harris watched on television
the $50 whipping admins
tered Ffichigan by Michigan
State. Then he made up his
mind to really play football.
In the Iowa State game,
Harris returned a punt 86 yards
flor a touchdown, ran SO yards
