...below. Packer Quarterback Bart Starr was forced to eat the ball eight times because his receivers were unable to cut properly on the icy field (something the CBS TV cameras never showed). Yet in thelast 5 min., as Dallas led 17-14, Starr coolly, carefully marched his team 69 yds., then took the ball across himself in the final 16 sec. for the touchdown that earned the Packers nearly $10,000 a man and a crack at still another $15,000 in the Super Bowl...
...they shave in the morning. Like the Packers, the Raiders are essentially a running ballclub; in Halfback Pete Banaszak and Fullback Hewritt Dixon, Oakland has two long-striding, flat-footed runners who closely resemble Green Bay's Donny Anderson and Chuck Mercein. Against Houston, Dixon rambled for 144 yds., and Banaszak gained...
...great advantage over Oakland is on defense. The Packer "front four," led by All-Pro End Willie Davis, is one of the strongest in history-although the Raiders boast some fearsome pass rushers of their own, notably Tackle Tom Keating, a 247-pounder who runs 40 yds. in 5.3 sec. in his football gear.

...last day of an upset-filled college football season should be filled with upsets. The only game that went according to the polls was the Rose Bowl, and even that took a remarkable performance by All-America Halfback O. J. Simpson (who carried the ball 25 times for 128 yds. and two touchdowns) before top-ranked Southern Cal could eke out a 14-3 victory over a stubborn band of sophomores from Indiana. In the Sugar Bowl, thrice-beaten, unranked Louisiana State spotted unbeaten, No. 6-ranked Wyoming a 13-0 halftime lead, then bounced back...
...exact count, Olsen and his chums have nailed enemy quarterbacks behind the line of scrimmage no less than 43 times this year, and they have allowed opposing runners an average of only 3.1 yds. per carry. "Some day," says Merlin, "the four of us want to play the perfect game: allow them no points and minus yards on the ground, and even off their passing yardage by dumping their quarterback...
