...super running back for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League, he has transformed the Windy City into Payton Place, where adoring fans and the daily papers call him "Wonderful Walter." Little wonder. In his third year as a pro, Payton, 23, has not only broken O.J. Simpson's single-game rushing mark of 273 yds. (275 yds. in November's game against the Minnesota Vikings) but is also helping to keep the rebuilding Bears in contention for a play-off spot.

We've all heard Daltrey howl the Sally Simpson blues, the lament of Teenage Wastland, but the sounds of One of the Boys are both new and refreshing...
...wall on Saturday, the British battled back gamely but there was little doubt about the final outcome. After nine holes, the British were leading in all four of the foursome matches, but Heafner and Fought teamed together to win five holes on the back side while Miller and Simpson won six as both U.S. pairs pulled out victories...
