On his offensive squad he has Walt Heath selected Western's Dickie Moore to 1965-68 fill one running back slot. Defensively, the Hilltoppcrs fared better with three members (Dale Lindsey, Walter HCClth and Lawrence Brame), Moore c"me to Western in 1965 and, in four years' time. set nine DVe records and 13 school marks. The nifty fullback was considered a top pro prospect until a pulled hamstring early in his senior season knocked him out most of the 1968 campaign. He also missed mueh of his sophomore year due to injury. making his records seem all the more remarkable. Currently a linebacker with the Cleveland Browns of the NFL. Dale Lindsey was a star member of West ern's undefeated 1963 team and gained All- American honors the next season, his last at WKU. Walt Heath, after refusing to accept Lawrence Brnme a job as a fJ'cshman student manager, developed himself into one of the fin 1967- est defensive tackles in the history of the OVC. Twice selected to the All OVC team, Walt amassed 192 main tackles and 114 assists during his career. Of the 24 players selected to Mehi gan's team, only three are currently playing in the conference. Two are seniors and the third is Western's jun ior defensive end, Lawrence Brame.
