Then Coach Lou Saban took over the Bills last season and began building a new high-powered attack around Simpson. Toting the ball an average of 21 times a game, O.J. rushed for 1,251 yds. in 1972 to become the N.F.L.'s leading ground gainer. This year he is doing even better.

There the boat will get Mason and he and I will go from Lab Cruz to a place called Tabi, southeast of Lba Cruz, and to Saban and possibly to Kabia oast of Valladolid. Large mounds and temples are said to exist here. It seems perfectly safe so far as the Indians are concerned, and we plan to carry on work here...
