In 1961, Taylor was runner-up to Brown in rushing (1,307 yds. to 1,408), and in the voting for all-star fullback. This year, Taylor is the man to beat. He leads all pro rushers with 934 yds. (Brown has only 561), is tied for fourth in scoring with 60 points, has averaged 6.1 yds. every time he carried the ball...
