The Giants settled for something more: crack performances by two of their oldest, saltiest veterans. Ben Agajanian, 38, Giant kicking master for seven years, stepped delicately onto the muddy field to score...
...Francisco's Kezar Stadium, Stanford's All-America Passer John Brodie joined forces with U.S.C.'s Jon Arnett and U.C.L.A.'s Pete O'Garro to lead his Western teammates to a 7-6 upset over Notre Dame's Paul Hornung and the Eastern All-Stars...
