...early in the third quarter, 79,544 fans in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium saw Lou ("The Toe") Groza boot a 43-yd. field goal, and suddenly the floodgates opened. Swinging wide to the left, Fullback Brown took a pitchout, cut back, and churned 46 yds. to the Baltimore 18. (Murmured one spectator: "Put a cape on him, and he's Superman.") Quarterback Ryan was a little nervous about calling the next play-a tricky "hook-post" pass to Flanker Gary Collins behind the goal posts. On the same play five times this season he had bounced the ball...
...turf, gathered in a picture pass from Ryan for 42 yds. and another TD. Lou Groza boosted the score to 20-0 with his second field goal. In the fourth quarter, Collins added the final fillip-reaching back over his shoulder to pull in another wonderful 41-yd. pass at the 10, shrugging Defensive Halfback Bobby Boyd off his shoulders, staggering into the end zone to make it 27-0. Then, with 26 sec. still showing on the clock, both teams ran for their lives as the exultant Cleveland crowd surged onto the field...
...Texas: a 21-17 upset of previously unbeaten, No. 1-ranked Alabama, in the Orange Bowl at Miami. Striking for two lightning scores (one on a 79-yd. run by Tailback Ernie Koy, the other on a 69-yd. pass from Jim Hudson to George Sauer), the fifth-ranked Longhorns opened up a 21-7 halftime lead. Then they hung on for dear life, intercepting two passes, stopping one Alabama drive at the 1-ft. line, as 'Bama's great Quarterback Joe Namath, playing with an injured knee, frantically filled the air with footballs, completing...
...Tulsa: a 14-7 victory over Mississippi, in the Bluebonnet Bowl at Houston. Tulsa Quarterback Jerry Rhome was the whole show, completing 22 out of 36 passes for 252 yds., running for the first touchdown himself, flipping a 35-yd. pass to Halfback Ed Fletcher for the winning TD. At the Atlantic City Convention Hall, site of last August's Democratic National Convention, Utah trounced West Virginia 32-6 in the Liberty Bowl-first indoor bowl game ever. The temperature was a pleasantly cool 60°, and Utah Halfback Ron Coleman was red-hot: he gained...
...Shirley, who won one tournament and $19,582 on the ladies' tour this year, shot a final round 65 to beat Dow Finsterwald and Marlene Bauer Hagge by one stroke. Shirley's contributions to the partnership included a 25-ft. putt for one eagle and a 50-yd. wedge shot into the cup for another...
