...bearish, of course. Halfback Roland, 23, is the N.F.L.'s No. 1 punt returner at 14.2 yds. per runback. He is a talented passer as well as rusher; against the New York Giants last month he hit Flanker Bobby Joe Conrad with a perfect 40-yarder for a TD. Over the season, Quarterback Johnson, 27, has connected on a respectable 53% of his passes; a cool, methodical signal caller, he invests his spare time at Washington University writing a dissertation on plastics for a Ph.D. in chemical engineering...

Between them, Purdue and No. 2-ranked Michigan State put the ball in the air 51 times, and M.S.U. wound up with the ball game 41-20. Missouri, which was expected to run all over lowly Iowa State, needed a leaping touchdown catch in the final minutes to salvage a 10-10 tie. And Harvard, which had stuck...
