...experts, and practically everybody else. If it had been a horse race, the stewards would be asking for a saliva test. Not that the Eastern Champion Browns were bad. They had Jimmy Brown, who is merely the best running back in the history of football. They had Quarterback Frank Ryan, who threw 25 touchdown passes this year. But they also had the N.F.L.'s leakiest defense, by the margin of 237 yds. and 20 first downs. The experts figured that was a dainty dish to set before the Western Champion Colts, with the strongest offense (428 points...
...Groza boot a 43-yd. field goal, and suddenly the floodgates opened. Swinging wide to the left, Fullback Brown took a pitchout, cut back, and churned 46 yds. to the Baltimore 18. (Murmured one spectator: "Put a cape on him, and he's Superman.")

But Greenberg went farther. A university's name is also a property right, he said. To be sure, others may freely exploit it, and for profit, by virtue of the public's "right to know" and a constitutionally protected free speech and press...
...strength of the team's chances remains in the running events. In the long distances Bob Stempson, Joe Ryan, Paul Gibson, Bill Wilson, Bob Baker, Steve Marx, and Richard Langenbach are going to have to add important points if the squad is going to improve on its 6-1 record of 1963. Baker and Langenbach have turned in respectable 4:22.1 and 4:26.2 performances in the mile...
