...everything off, Harvard had another sparkling halfback in Arnie Horween, who was also a deadly drop-kicker, and a steam-roller substitute fullback in Freddy Church. Captain Bill Murray was a more than reliable passer at quarterback...
...that the Raiders can't pass. With 220 completions in 425 attempts, Quarterback Daryle Lamonica is the A.F.L.'s No. 1 passer and its Player of the Year. Lamonica can throw the ball even farther than Green Bay's Starr, but against the Packers' superb secondary, he probably will settle for short "swings," "look-ins" and "square-outs" to Fullback Dixon, Flanker Pete Biletnikoff and Tight End Billy Cannon, a converted halfback who is a threat to go all the way any time...

At stake: the Pacific Eight title, a Rose Bowl bid and the Heisman Trophy. "Whichever team wins this game should be the national champion," insisted Southern Cal Coach John McKay. After what happened last Saturday-U.C.L.A.'s Beban passing for two T.D.s, U.S.C.'s Simpson running for two, Southern Cal winning by the slim margin of a missed extra point...
