...winning points came early in the fourth quarter on a field goal from about 30 yards out. The Sooners recovered a Dartmouth fumble on the 45 and a couple of plays later. Gary Bond kicked the ball through the uprights for the winning margin...
Telephone interviews with 2,323 registered voters in 16 key states constituting 62% of the total electoral vote found Richard Nixon ahead, 57% to 27%, with 16% undecided. That lead of 30 points during the Oct. 1 to Oct. 10 period is nine points smaller than the Nixon margin in the same type of Yankelovich survey one month earlier.

When New York got the ball again, Namath called a pass play that could have gone to one of three receivers. Meanwhile the Colts had inserted a fresh cornerback, Rex Kern, No. 44, into the secondary; his primary responsibility was covering Caster. As Namath dropped back, Kern, fresh...
