...newly merged leagues prepared for their first meeting at next week's Super Bowl in Los Angeles. Quarterback Bart Starr of the N.F.L.'s Green Bay Packers sweetly insisted that "anybody with any football intelligence can see the Chiefs have a real fine team"-and Coach Hank Stram of the A.F.L.'s Kansas City Chiefs saluted the Packers as "the symbol of the best in pro football."

Dawson's favorite target: Flanker Otis Taylor, who has caught 54 passes for 1,194 yds., is the only A.F.L. receiver to top 1,000 yds. so far this season...
