Gillian i frowns on such contracts. During our tete-a-tete, Gillman gigged a couple of gridders whom he's counting on to help carry the load Ron Waller, who was Sid's prize rookie when he first coached the Rams, and fullback Jim Varnado, a mighty mass muscle from Southern U. "Waller Just has to bear down a -little more in new assignment as an offensive end in the spread," he' said. "Ron was the best running back in the NFL when he broke in, and there's no reason why he shouldn't be as good todays He's had five years pro experience and he's only 27. "Varnado possesses lots of! but he doesn't; always use it.

He's not always an all-out runner. He's' feeling his way, and maybe' that's because of his, Reminds Sid of Tank Younger Varnado, who stands 6-2 and weighs 245, puts Gillman in mind of one of his favorite fullbacks, Tank Younger. "Jim is a little faster than Tank, but not as fast as Deacon Dan Towler, who was in a class by himself for' a man of his size," said Sid. "He gallops something! like Tank used to; and if he approaches Tank in ability IH be satisfied." y. When we asked Gillman to tab the best pro prospect among the unheralded gridders who reported to camp, unhesitatingly he named Riley Morris, linebacker from Florida the alma mater of the Chicago Bears' Willie Galimore.

Morris Dubbed 'The Rattler' Morris already has been dubbed "The per-, haps as a compliment to the great Ram linebacker of yesteryear, Riley (Rattlesnake) Matheson. During lunch the gabfest got around to the Dodgers in general and to Frank Howard in particular. Gillman, you know, preceded Howard at Ohio State, playing end for the Buckeye varsity. "They tell me Frank has all the physical equipment to make a defensive end. I've got a blank contract waiting for him, and if he'd just fill in a sum within reason, he'll be a Charger." Buzzie Bavasi nearly swooned when he told him that, but Buzzie can relax.
