...single printing plant, and by offering advertisers combination rates. The News expects that the savings will be enough to put it in the black. The Herald will get a clear field on Sundays, since the Sunday News has been folded. If the Miami merger succeeds, the big gainer will be the city. The alternative is a one-paper town, which Cox and Knight are trying to avoid. Each publisher feels that Miamians should hear more than one editorial opinion...
...football. He sounded pretty revolutionary too. "I want," said James Nathaniel Brown, 30, "to have a hand in the struggle that is going on in our country." Thus Jim Brown (TIME cover, Nov. 26), fullback of the National Football League's Cleveland Browns and the biggest ground gainer (12,312 yds. over nine seasons) in the history of pro football, announced his retirement from the sport that made him famous...
team - let alone achieve star status in his freshman year. Exceptions are the rule this year. San Francisco's Ken Willard is the third leading ground gainer in the N.F.L. Tucker Frederickson, a 220-lb. fullback from Auburn, is the man who makes the New York Giants go, and Bob ("Bullet") Hayes represents the only real threat in the Dallas Cowboys' offense.

A two-way player who averaged 50 min. of action per game, Hawkins runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.7 sec. Naturally, that impresses the pros. So does his "ability to improvise when standard defensive patterns fail...
...last line of defense, and it should be more than ordinarily difficult for anybody to get past Crabtree, an "agile, shifty" runner himself. Bird played some defense in 1964 at Kentucky, but none this year; he was too busy being the Southeastern Conference's second leading ground gainer (with 646 yds.). A little still went a long way with the scouts. "A sure tackier, hard to fool on fakes," goes one report. "As a matter of fact, he's even better on defense than on offense...
