...Nhut Airport last Dec. 4, typewriters, medical supplies, officers' sidearms and even a small cemetery. There were a few Viet Cong defenders left behind, and the G.I.s, equipped with silencer-mounted .38 pistols, pursued them through the labyrinth. After exploring the maze for 1,000 yds., the tunnel rats came up and turned the task over to units that pumped nausea gas through the system, then set about blasting it to dust...
...like last week against the Dallas Cowboys for the N.F.L. championship and a trip to Los Angeles. Unable to run against a fierce Dallas defense, Quarterback Starr suddenly put wings on the ball. Three times in one touch down drive, confronted with third down and more than 12 yds. to go, he threw for crucial first downs; in all, he hit on 19 out of 28 attempts for 304 yds. and four TDs as the Packers outscored the Cowboys...
...Packers would be "the best team I ever coached." They have done nothing to prove him wrong-despite their advancing age. Fullback Jimmy Taylor is 31, and it is an open secret that he will be playing for somebody else next year; but he has gained 705 yds. on the ground, another 331 yds. on pass receptions. Tight End Max McGee is 34 and has caught only three passes all year, but one of them set up the game-winning touchdown when the Packers beat the Baltimore Colts three weeks ago to clinch the N.F.L.'s Western Division championship...

"A stud" is the way admiring pros describe Hardy, a draft-eligible junior who not only bulwarked the Irish defense but also punted for an average of 42 yds., and is the only athlete in 20 years to letter in three sports (football, basketball, baseball) at Notre Dame. Phillips is "too light to play tackle in the pros-he'll probably be switched to linebacker." But his attitude is strictly professional: "Football is his whole reason for living...
...Chiefs brag that their offensive line is the biggest in either league, averages 253 lbs. from end to end. Kansas City has three of the A.F.L.'s ten top rushers: Halfback Garrett (566 yds.) is No. 5, Halfback Bert Coan (476 yds.) is No. 6, and Fullback Curtis McClinton (408 yds.) is No. 7. Quarterback Len Dawson, a natural rollout passer who could not make it with the N.F.L.'s Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, has come into his own in Coach Hank Stram's "movable pocket" passing offense; he has hit on 57% of his passes...
