Packer Linebacker Ray Nitschke borrowed his right foot for a brief demonstration of isometrics and sent him limping to the sideline. Grabowski was held to 11 yds. in four carries, and Southern California's Mike Garrett, the 1965 Heisman Trophy winner, broke loose for a total of 19 yds. On the sideline, All-Star Coach John Sauer was still screaming, "Come on, defense!" as the clock ran out on a score of 38-0-the worst trouncing...
