...According to 26 of the 28 teams, it is the superior method. The only two field-goal kickers still swinging their legs straight are Rick Danmeier of the Minnesota Vikings and Moseley. "That's why I was glad to see Moseley get the record," said Lou ("the Toe") Groza, the Cleveland Browns' famed footman, who also played tackle in the '50s. "At least Moseley looks like a football player. I was talking to George Blanda a while back, and he said, 'You know, if they would just tighten the immigration laws, we could still be kicking...
...Packers drew first blood on a 47-yd. TD pass from Quarterback Starr to Carroll Dale. The Browns roared right back in three plays. They missed a conversion attempt-Lou Groza's first miss in 46 tries this season-but then Lou kicked a 24-yd. field goal to put Cleveland ahead 9-7. By half time, when Green Bay had the lead back, 13-12, the Browns could take solace only in the knowledge that they would get the ball on the second-half kickoff...
While the rest of the Browns got in their licks (Ernie Green scored one TD, and Lou Groza kicked two field goals), the game belonged to Brown. In all, he carried the ball 20 times for 156 yds. That boosted his 1965 rushing total to 1,064 yds.-almost twice as much as his closest competitor, Philadelphia's Timmy Brown (no kin), and more than eight of the 14 N.F.L. teams have gained on the ground all season. Jimmy caught three passes for an additional 36 yds., and his three TDs gave him 84 points so far this year...
...periods, the game -played in a soaking rain-lived up to expectations. Though not nearly so sharp as usual, the Browns nevertheless displayed massive power and diversity, scoring by ground, by pass and, in a pinch, by a field goal off the talented toe of ancient (41) Lou Groza. The All-Star offense was buried under about one ton of Brown linemen and line backers. Navy's famed Roger Staubach, the starting quarterback, was helped off the field in the second quarter with a dislocated shoulder. His replacement, California's Craig Morton, completed only two passes...
...Split End Paul Warfield, so Collins had only one man to beat. Midway in the third quarter, he did a fancy little two-step, left Colt Defender Jerry Logan sprawled on the turf, gathered in a picture pass from Ryan for 42 yds. and another TD. Lou Groza boosted the score to 20-0 with his second field goal. In the fourth quarter, Collins added the final fillip-reaching back over his shoulder to pull in another wonderful 41-yd. pass at the 10, shrugging Defensive Halfback Bobby Boyd off his shoulders, staggering into the end zone to make...
