Some 40,000 balloons soared aloft, and 6,000 pigeons fluttered skyward. The blazing torch arrived-borne for the first time by a woman, Mexico's 20-year-old Norma Enriqueta Basilio Sotelo-to end a 10,000-mile odyssey that started at Olympia.

...Irish 16, faked to the inside, cut for the sidelines and raced untouched into the end zone. Minutes later, on what looked like the same play, the Notre Dame line swarmed in on Keyes; nonchalantly, he pivoted and tossed a 17-yd. touchdown pass to Dillingham. At the final gun, Notre Dame was down 37-22, Purdue was No. 1, and Keyes had added still another 18-yd. touchdown run to his personal scorecard. Defense?
