...stricken woman was a victim of "food inhalation," an often fatal accident that is so often misdiagnosed as a heart attack that it has come to be called the café coronary. Partly as a result of these incorrect diagnoses, Florida Physicians WilLiam C. Eller and Roger K. Haugen report in the New England Journal of Medicine, choking on food is the sixth leading cause of accidental death in the country. Because, according to the National Safety Council, nearly 2,500 persons die while dining each year, the café coronary outranks aircraft accidents, firearms, lightning and snakebite...
...black thunderbolt streaking at a rate of 9.3 sec. per 100 yds. down a football field. Or about Dick Butkus, that splendid savage of a middle linebacker, actually biting an opponent's nose during a pileup. Or about four massive linemen in purple shirts named Eller, Page, Larsen and Marshall, holding off the mighty Los Angeles Rams three times from the two-yard line. Or about Running Back Gale Sayers, a Homeric combination of speed and skill and strength and courage, with only a wrecked knee (to mix a metaphor) as his Achilles heel...
Broken Tackles. Meanwhile, Kansas City's Quarterback Lenny Dawson called a precise game, making full use of the 75 "sets" and 300-plus plays provided by Coach Stram. The Chiefs' big offensive linemen double-teamed the Vikings' All-Pro Ends Carl Eller and Jim Marshall, which kept them from deflecting Dawson's passes. In the backfield Dawson moved his pocket around to confuse the Viking tackles and began working short passes in front of the cornerbacks. He mingled his throws with quick-hitting thrusts by his running backs, and even caught the Vikings napping with three...
...quarterback, led his rejuvenated Packers against Minnesota last week, he absorbed as pitiless a beating as any he has received in 14 years of N.F.L. play. The Packers never really got off the ground. Time after time Marshall and his fellow marauders-Gary Larsen, Alan Page and Carl Eller-blasted through the Green Bay line to dump Starr or force him to throw hurried, errant passes. Starr's longest completion of the day went for only 13 yds., and he was leveled eight times by the Viking line for a total loss of 63 yds. The Viking line also...
Incredible Streak. The strongman of the line is Larsen (6 ft. 5 in., 255 lbs.); his forte is an explosive initial charge that sends offensive blockers reeling. That opens the way for Page (6 ft. 4 in., 250 Ibs.) and Eller (6 ft. 6 in., 255 Ibs.). Both are extremely quick and boast exceptional agility. Eller, who supplanted Green Bay's Willie Davis as All-Pro end last year, is one of the fastest men in the game for his size. Against the Packers, he caught Running Back Donny Anderson from behind on a power sweep to the opposite...
