...Vikings had a poor 4-9-1 season, he still passed for 2,561 yds. and led the Vikings to a 20-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers, one of only two games the world champions lost all year. He is known in the trade as a "scrambler," who would just as soon run as throw, who can turn a potential 10-yd. loss into a 50-yd. gain. He also has something that Joe Namath no longer has: a pair of sturdy knees...
...most of all by work. He worked in the White House and he worked at the ranch. On the Hill and astride the stump. In his limousine (with four separate communication setups) and aboard the jet (with $2,000,000 in electronic gear). By letter, wire, scrambler and hot line.

A second-day 71 was good enough...
...QUARTERBACK: Roger Staubach, 21, Navy, 6 ft. 2 in., 190 lbs. At first, the pros were lukewarm about Staubach (TIME cover, Oct. 18). "He's a scrambler, a rollout quarterback," said one. "He doesn't play the pro game." But 1,738 yds. and 15 TDs later, Roger is the No. 1 choice of 17 out of 22 pro teams. Says Coach Buddy Parker of the Pittsburgh Steelers: "For his position, the best college player I've ever seen." The "book" on Roger: "Very accurate, shifty, strong, great peripheral vision, unmatched at hitting secondary receivers. A perfect...
