Running Backs: (16) WOODY GREEN, Arizona State, 6 ft. 1 in., 202 Ibs., and (17) WILLIAM ("BO") MATTHEWS, Colorado, 6 ft. 2 in., 219 Ibs. The scouts' eyes are popping over Green. "He's the type who can make a weaker pro franchise into a contending club," they say. Blasting out of the backfield as if he were fired from a bazooka, Green has darted through defenders for 1,182 yds. this season.

Bernie Casey in the title role and Bo Svenson as Twyman work with affecting simplicity and nice touches of humor, much of the time undercutting the film makers' implacable drive for sentimentality.

This causes all sorts of fraternal tensions during the trek across country, leading to violence, death and a highly unlikely romance. The affair is finally consummated when Jay sweeps the adoring Catherine up in his arms and mutters, "You are the god-damnedest woman I ever met," as he bears her off to bed in the hotel of a deserted mining town...
Spencer Tracy, Judy Garland, Montgomery Clift - a soggy and unintentionally demeaning memorial. It is the music that comes off best. The Shirells are funny and sexy, Bo Didley wonderfully raunchy and Chuck Berry, his voice past the point of strain, still kinetic and outrageous. He is a performer who neatly and emphatically encapsulates the lowdown power of rock'n'roll...
