Last week, the Patriots lambasted Buffalo, 52 to 21. Among the heroes, as usual, were quarterback Butch Songin, an itinerant athlete who at 37 is the league's third-ranking passer, and Cappelletti, who by kicking and receiving has already tallied 96 points...
Sharing the quarterback duties for Harvard will be sophomores Bill Humenuk and Mike Bassett. In general, Humenuk is the passer, and Bassett is the runner, and although Bassett will start today, "The one who moves us best will play most of the game," Yovicsin says.

Instead, Green Bay uses rugged, old-fashioned blocking to open holes for rugged, old-fashioned ball carriers. To Vince Lombardi, 47, even the complex game of the pros can be reduced to the simple principle of knocking people down. "To play in this league," he says, "you've got to be tough-physically tough and mentally tough...
