Business is generally brisk. In the 1964 Crosby, Arnold Palmer dumped three balls in the drink, took nine strokes to get down on the par-three, 217-yd. 17th. In 1959, Gene Littler needed only a par five on the 535-yd. 18th to tie Art Wall for the title; he hooked his second shot into the water, wound up with a double-bogey seven. Of course, there have been days when the 18th played easier; a San Franciscan named Mat Palacio once hit a drive in the general direction of China and muttered, "Only God can save that...
...Packers drew first blood on a 47-yd. TD pass from Quarterback Starr to Carroll Dale. The Browns roared right back in three plays. They missed a conversion attempt-Lou Groza's first miss in 46 tries this season-but then Lou kicked a 24-yd. field goal to put Cleveland ahead 9-7. By half time, when Green Bay had the lead back, 13-12, the Browns could take solace only in the knowledge that they would get the ball on the second-half kickoff...
...even more dramatic. Operating behind an impenetrable wall of blockers ("Look at me," he said afterward, pointing to his uniform.

Whenever the Bills bogged down, Kemp called on Pete Gogolak, whose soccer-style kicking accounted for eleven points...
Buffalo's devastating defense did the rest. Not once were the Chargers able to get inside Buffalo's 20-yd. line. By the time the afternoon was over, San Diego Quarterback Hadl had lost 45 yds. attempting to pass, and the Bills had shut out the Chargers for the first time in four years, 23-0. "Our defensive team was so high," said Buffalo Assistant Coach Joe Collier, "that I was talking to their kneecaps...
punt return- and the Bears clawed the Packers 31-10. Minnesota was leading Chicago 37-31 with only 2 min. 18 sec left when Gale gathered in a kickoff on his own 4-yd. line, set sail up the sideline, and simply outran everybody to the goal line. Against the New York Giants last week, Sayers demonstrated the perfect way to run one of pro foot ball's prettiest plays: the halfback option. In the first quarter he started around end, stopped dead in his tracks, and flipped a pass to End Dick Gordon...
