...Early in the game Steeler Quarterback Terry Bradshaw was knocked unconscious by a bone-jarring tackle and had to spend most of the game on the sidelines feeling "pretty loony." Then, in the second quarter, Miami Punter Larry Seiple dropped back to punt and-surprise!-ran the ball 37 yds. to set up the Dolphins' first touchdown. Finally, Dolphin Quarterback Bob Griese, out with an injury for most of the season, took over in the second half and hit Receiver Paul Warfield with two crucial passes to clinch a 21-17 win for the undefeated Dolphins...
...over maps of the cities and towns of North Viet Nam. Then it is at once evident that many of those targets lay smack in the middle of the most populous metropolitan and suburban areas in the North. The Hanoi thermal power plant, for instance, was only 1,000 yds. from the very center of the city. A main petroleum storage area was only 200 yds. from the Bach Mai hospital. The town of Thai Nguyen lay right next to one of the key power plants...
SPECIALIST. Ray Guy, Southern Mississippi, 6 ft. 4 in., 192 lbs. Averaging a booming 46 yds. a kick this season, until he suffered an ankle injury, Guy is a premier punter with several pluses. The "hangup time" of his kicks (4.7 sec.), explains one scout, allows "outstanding coverage opportunity." As a placekicker, he booted a 61-yd. field goal. He also happens to be an outstanding defensive back and is fourth in the nation in interceptions...
...year of the running back, which may see a dozen N.F.L. players gaining more than 1,000 yds., Miami has three of the best: Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick (known as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid") run through and over opposing lines like wounded rhinos, helped by blocking from all-pro Guard Larry Little; stocky Mercury Morris (5 ft. 10 in., 190 lbs.) runs around them. When their runners are stopped, or their passes fall incomplete, the Dolphins figure to get points from the talented instep of another new Miami folk hero: soccer-style Place Kicker Garo Yepremian...
Three weeks ago, busting through the middle like a Brahman bull, he scored two touchdowns and ran for 191 yds. as Washington downed the New York Giants 23-16. The following week the New York Jets had everyone but the ticket takers ganging up on Brown's line plunges. So late in the game he slipped outside, gathered in a screen pass and romped 89 yds. down the sidelines to score the touchdown that broke the Jets' back in the Redskins' 35-17 victory. Last week in Washington the Giants came back for more, and Brown saved...
