...that offense, defense has been Landry's real specialty ever since he bossed the New York Giants' famed defensive brigade in the late 1950s. The Cowboys' ferocious defense, bulwarked by 255-lb. Tackle Bob Lilly, ranks No. 1 in the N.F.L. in nine separate categories. They have held their opponents to only 228 yds. per game-71 yds. on the ground. Enemy quarterbacks have completed only 45% of their passes against the Cowboys, and they have been dumped for losses 39 times. "We seem to have become a very strong team," says Landry-who should...
...last three games. But last week sportswriters voted to award Florida's Steve Spurrier the Heisman Trophy as the No. 1 college player in the nation. And what does Spurrier, 21, say about that? "I guess," he moans, "that I was born a year too late...
...late, Spurrier means, to become an instant millionaire. Now that pro football's two leagues have merged and huge rookie bonuses are presumably a thing of the past, Steve may have to settle for being merely well-to-do. He has hired a lawyer to plead his case-and quite a case it is. Spurrier has completed an astounding 61% of his passes, hitting on 179 out of 291 attempts for 2,012 yds. and 16 touchdowns. Against Miami last week, Steve completed 26 out of 49 for 227 yds. and one TD, although the Gators lost...
Since September, all automakers have been required by law to report possible defects to the new National Traffic Safety Agency, whose director. William Haddon, has the authority to make the reports public-if he sees fit. Last week Haddon saw fit: he announced that more than 500,000 late-model cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles have been recalled by domestic and foreign manufacturers to check on some 40 potential flaws. These statistics were deceptive, and Ford Division General Manager Donald Frey, for one, was quick to note that probably no more than 5% of the recalled cars actually had anything...
...habitually dump their own shares and shift into funds, figuring that the professional money managers know best. This year investors have bought a net of $2.4 billion in fund shares, but the fund managers have put relatively little of this new money into the stock market. They turned bearish late last year, pared their purchasing in the first half of 1966, and in the third quarter actually sold $300 million more of common stocks than they bought-helping lead the Dow-Jones industrial average to a loss of almost 100 points...
