...beating the TV ban. Some 400 fans who were watching the Dolphin game at the Miami Playboy Club (which has a space-age antenna) were interrupted by a police raid that closed the club for not having a license to operate before 5 p.m. on Sundays. Undaunted, diehard "Dol-fans" found a long extension cord and hauled a TV set outside, where they sat under a spreading sea grape tree, munching Bunny Burgers and watching the game while the traffic whizzed by on Biscayne Boulevard. "I almost went out of my mind when the Dolphins got behind 14-13," said...

Bleak Memories. Shula and his deadly Dolphins are the wildest thing to hit Miami since Nick the Greek and a team of shills took Oilman Harry Sinclair for $900,000 at a memorable craps party.

...Dolphins' long-suffering fans. Attendance at the Orange Bowl has soared from an average of 34,687 two seasons ago to sellout crowds of 75,312 for the last two home games. Last week a national TV audience watched Kiick and Csonka, known to the adoring "Dol-fans" as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, grind out a total of 175 yds. on the ground. Coupled with Griese's brilliant passing (twelve completions in 17 attempts, two touchdowns), the Dolphins mauled the Bears 34 to 3.
