...left end. Score: Navy 25, S.M.U. 13. Now all Navy needed was a stout defense. But who was playing defensive football? In only two plays, Southern Methodist got that touchdown back on a 45-yd. run by John Roderick, a 168-lb. sprinter who runs the 100 in 9.4 sec. and plays football just to keep in shape for track. Minutes later the Mustangs got another and jumped into the lead, 26-25. Now it was Staubach's turn again. Circling right end, he picked up 11 yds. and ran head first into a herd of Mustangs. Slowly...
...Navy trainer waved smelling salts under Staubach's nose, and the youngster was ready for more. He moved the Middies to the S.M.U. two. A field goal put Navy back ahead, 28-26. And with just 2 min. 52 sec. left in the game, bruised, battered, exhausted, he slumped onto the bench and waited for Navy's defense to run out the clock. Not a chance. In only four plays, S.M.U. traveled 70 yds. for a touchdown. Score: Southern Methodist 32, Navy...
...much to hope that Staubach could rally the Middies now. Time was against him: the clock showed only 2 min. 5 sec., and Navy was 60 yds. away from pay dirt. The cards were stacked.

And finally, with just 2 sec. left, he dropped back and fired one last pass to Halfback Ed Orr in the end zone. The gun went off-and the ball skidded...
...this year's starting eleven are Oklahomans, and there are only twelve Texans on the 63-man varsity squad. The team is big: Tackle Ralph Neely weighs in at 246 Ibs. It is fast: Halfback Joe Don Looney, a bull-necked 225-pounder, runs the 100 in 9.7 sec. It is brutal, boisterous-and tricky as a sidewinder. The Sooners sometimes run plays without a huddle, trying to catch their opponents out of position...
...Jimmy popped out the other side of the pile and thundered 71 yds. into the end zone. Before the day was out, dazed Dallas fans saw him sprint 62 yds. for another TD and riddle the Cowboy defenses for 232 yds. in 20 carries as Cleveland coasted to its sec ond straight victory, 41-24. "If we had Jimmy Brown," said Dallas Coach Tom Landry, "we would have to change our whole offensive system. Needless to say, I'd be willing...
