Against Karras' Lions in the season opener, Green Bay had to come from behind to escape with a 17-17 tie. They then barely scraped by the so-so Chicago Bears 13-10 on a last-minute field goal, and won uninspired victories (27-17, 23-0) in a return match with Detroit and against the fledgling Atlanta Falcons. Two weeks ago, Green Bay suffered through an afternoon with the Minnesota Vikings; at the closing gun, the Packers found themselves on the short end of a 10-7 score against a team that had lost four straight.

Last month, in the 100-yd. dash at Houston's Southwestern Athletic Conference meet, he got off to a so-so start, still was timed in 9.1 sec.-equaling the world record set by Bob Hayes in 1963. Two weeks later in Modesto, Calif., he was again a little slow getting out of the blocks, but tied the world mark of 10 sec. for 100 meters. No official bothered...
Leone thrusts this hero forward insistently. The camera is tight on Clint Eastwood as he chews his cigar, clips a sentence, tips his hat, swallows soup. The concentration creates a giant out of a so-so Rawhide type. At the final confrontation with his enemies, Eastwood appears out of a cloud of dynamite dust...
