After Nobis, the deluge. Illinois Fullback Jim Grabowski, the No. 1 choice of the A.F.L.'s newborn Miami Dolphins, signed (for $250,000) with the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers-not even bothering to entertain a bid from New York Jets Owner David ("Sonny") Werblin, who persuaded the Dolphins to deed him the rights to Grabowski at the last minute. Then the A.F.L.'s San Diego Chargers lost their No. 1 draftee, mammoth (6 ft. 5 in., 255 Ibs.) Los Angeles State Tackle Don Davis, to the N.F.L.'s New York Giants. The Western Champion Chargers...
Nice, Round Figure. All-America Halfback Mike Garrett, the Heisman Trophy winner from Southern Cal, made it clear what he wanted: "$300,000 is a nice, round figure."

In the Orange Bowl, Nebraska raced to a 13-0 half-time lead, barely hung on to beat Auburn 13-7. And in the Sugar Bowl, Alabama's Tim Davis booted field goals from 48 yds., 46 yds., 31 yds., and 22 yds. to edge Mississippi...
Here or Hereafter? On the question of discipline, Staff Sergeant Edward Huff, a weathery, leathery Marine who was senior drill instructor over McKeon, agreed with Grabowski.* Huff said he had been dissatisfied with the platoon and has threatened its members: "If you don't snap out of your hockey, I'll take you down to the swamps." Huff said he had every intention of doing just that, but "I had a training schedule and I didn't have time." McKeon, said Huff, was an outstanding D.I. "He done his work, he done it well, and he never...
