...system from canceling this year's athletic program for lack of money, Graham staged one of the biggest rock concerts since the glory years of Haight-Ashbury. Along with Varsity Stars Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young and Santana, even Marlon Brando showed up at Kezar Stadium to plead for contributions. Last week, just before the musicale got under way, however, Bay Area newspapers disclosed that the board of education had suddenly uncovered $2.1 million in extra funds. Graham called the concert his "finest hour," temporarily placed $300,000 in proceeds into a nonprofit corporation bank...
...cultural programs. That barely put a dent in the board's $4 million deficit, but Rock Impresario Bill Graham may yet save the day. He has scheduled a benefit concert of ten major acts (including the Jefferson Starship, Joan Baez and Santana) in the city's 59,626-seat Kezar Stadium. The concert, on March 23, is called SNACK, Students Need Athletics, Culture and Kicks; the audience will pay a $5 admission to boogie down from midmorning to dusk.

The win put the surprising Packers in first place in the National Football League's Western Conference, set them up for a finish fight with 1959's champion Baltimore Colts...
...Francisco shared his sentiment. Professional football's eastern title had already been won by the Cleveland Browns, but the Forty Niners were still in the race in the west. The city was full of loyal fans, desperate to see the game. The trouble was that Kezar Stadium can only accommodate 60,000 of them, and those who got shut out could not go home to watch the festivities on TV. Unlike big-league baseball, pro football does not give away what it has to sell, blacks out the local area when a home game is being played...
