...dash in the Los Angeles Times games. At that it took a virtual dead-heat world record performance (1 min. 8.7 sec.) by Martin McGrady and Lee Evans to defeat him. In the longer distances, Doubell has been unbeatable. In Albuquerque last month he ran 1,000 yds. in 2 min. 5.5 sec., shaving half a second from Snell's eight-year-old world indoor record. As usual he pooh-poohed the stopwatch: "The most important thing is winning. I don't give a damn what the time...

The Vikings, who had averaged 27 points per game in their own league, did not cross the Chiefs' 40 until the third quarter. Their running attack netted only 67 yds.; Kapp's passes were hardly more effective-no long, score-producing bombs and two disastrous interceptions.

In New Orleans, Quarterbacks Archie Manning of Ole Miss (7-3) and Bill Montgomery of Arkansas (9-1) played superlatively. Manning dashed 18 yds. for a first-quarter touchdown to give the Rebels a 14-0 edge, later heaved a 30-yd. touchdown pass to Vernon Studdard. Montgomery completed 17 out of 32 passes for 340 yds. and two touchdowns. The margin of victory was provided by Safety Glenn Cannon, who intercepted a pass...
