...Browns, the Packers knew they would have to stop Jim Brown, put constant pressure on Cleveland Quarterback Frank Ryan so that he could not throw the "bomb" to Paul Warfield or Gary Collins. The first job fell to Packer Linebacker Ray Nitschke. "Brown was my big heat," Nitschke said afterward. "I keyed on him 85% of the time." The measure of his success was that in the crucial second half Brown gained a grand total of 9 yds. Ryan was the responsibility of the whole Packer line. Time after time, he dropped back to throw-and suddenly found himself looking...
...unsettling enough just meeting those purple elephants on the way to the TV set. For millions of red-eyed U.S. football fans, what happened afterward in the New Year's Day bowl games was far harder on the nerves. In one incredible, irrational day, college football's longest winning streak was snapped, all but one of the remaining undefeated major teams were beaten,* three schools' dreams of winning the national championship were shattered, and the No. 4 team in the nation became the No. 1 team-by beating the No. 3 team...

Timed to the Second. Afterward Bubas called it "the greatest comeback any Duke team has ever staged"-a little regretfully, perhaps, because showmanship is not Vic's cup of tea. (Nor Michigan's apparently, because the demoralized Wolverines went out and got clobbered again, 79-64, by little Butler.) "Basketball should be businesslike," says Bubas, and from his walnut-paneled executive suite on the Durham, N.C., campus, he directs Duke's basketball fortunes with the crisp efficiency of an investment banker. Practice sessions are timed to the second and preceded by staff meetings that would, remarked...
