...more by student rebellions than football victories. Now Chuck Muncie has changed all that. Playing with a combination of power and brains that left defenses wondering where he would strike next, the Cal tailback scored 14 touchdowns, averaged 132yds. rushing per game, and caught 37 passes for 354 yds. this season. He could well be the No. 1 draft choice of the pros next month. He helped carry California to their best record (eight wins, three losses) in 24 years...

Minnesota Running Back Chuck Foreman spoke for the league when he pleaded with the Steeler front four: "C'mon, you mothers, give us a yard...
...Italian mother and a black father, Harris is a runner of the Jim Brown model: strong, shifty and astonishingly difficult to bring down. Last year he was the Most Valuable Player in the Super Bowl, breaking the rushing record for the game as he rumbled for 158 yds. This season Harris trails only O.J. Simpson in rushing stats...
