...kidnapped, shipwrecked and left to fend for himself out in the Scottish highlands with only his newfound friend, bonnie Alan Breck (Michael Caine) to defend him. David Balfour (Lawrence Douglas) has, in short, the kind of adventures that turn boys into men and classic books into movies.

Johnny U. completed only eleven of 29 passes, but most were long gainers in clutch situations that helped lead the Colts to a 27-17 victory. Showing a newfound aggressiveness, the Colt defense sacked Raider quarterbacks five times and intercepted them three more. A late-blooming rookie running back, Norm Bulaich, bulldozed his way to 71 yards and two touchdowns in 22 carries...
