...averages 253 lbs. from end to end. Kansas City has three of the A.F.L.'s ten top rushers: Halfback Garrett (566 yds.) is No. 5, Halfback Bert Coan (476 yds.) is No. 6, and Fullback Curtis McClinton (408 yds.) is No. 7. Quarterback Len Dawson, a natural rollout passer who could not make it with the N.F.L.'s Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, has come into his own in Coach Hank Stram's "movable pocket" passing offense; he has hit on 57% of his passes-for 2,285 yds. and 25 touchdowns.

He is a talented passer as well as rusher; against the New York Giants last month he hit Flanker Bobby Joe Conrad with a perfect 40-yarder for a TD. Over the season, Quarterback Johnson, 27, has connected on a respectable 53% of his passes; a cool, methodical signal caller, he invests his spare time at Washington University writing a dissertation on plastics for a Ph.D. in chemical engineering...
