Staubach did that often enough during the past season to rank near the top of pro quarterbacks in completions: 231 of 413 passes (55.9%) for 3,190 yds. and 25 touchdowns. The man whose legs won him the Heisman Trophy in 1963 now lives, as do all N.F.L. quarterbacks, by his arm. His hands, gnarled and disfigured, reflect his trade: the index finger on his throwing hand still shows the marks of off-season surgery, and the little finger on the same hand zigs at right angles from one fracture, then zags back again from a second break...

Soon after, they found a 17th century Spanish olive jar, a rare Chinese cup and silver pieces of eight dated 1639 and earlier. Not a trace remained of the Concepción 's wooden hull...

...enforce the rule. Other ways to reduce physical damage at Pleasant Valley, thanks largely to Verbruggen, involve careful medical checkups and new and better ways of conditioning. "We don't even do traditional calisthenics any more," says Head Coach Tony Caracio. "One of the drills-walking 20 yds. on the inside of your feet, then 20 yds. on the outside to build ankle strength and flexibility-looks so weird that we're embarrassed to do it before a game, where people can see us. But we haven't had any ankle injuries since Doc told...
