...Split End George Sauer. "I dropped back and looked at four receivers," Namath said later, "and they were all covered. Then I looked at George." George was waiting patiently, all by his lonesome, on the Houston 17; Joe hit him with a pass that traveled a good 60 yds. in the air. New York's second touchdown came on a rollout: whirling suddenly, Namath flipped the ball back across the field to Fullback Matt Snell, who ambled 25 yds. Tight End Pete Lammons was Joe's target-a 13-yarder-and then Flanker Don Maynard...
Purdue's offense was too complicated even to have a name: 25 different for mations, 75 pass plays, plus a quarterback named Bob Griese, who completed 17 out of 21 tosses for 230 yds. and three touchdowns as the Boiler makers swamped Ohio University...
Competition had not even begun at Portillo when disaster hit the U.S. team. Zipping down a slope at 60 m.p.h. in practice, Kidd lost his balance, skittered 200 yds., and snapped both bones in his right leg.

To the east, Iran-bound Peace Corps Trainee Thomas Ashton, 22, was strolling on the roof of the Computation Center when Whitman shot him dead...
...Stars obviously still had a lot to learn. "Do Everything" Anderson managed to gain exactly 4 yds. before 240-lb. Packer Linebacker Ray Nitschke borrowed his right foot for a brief demonstration of isometrics and sent him limping to the sideline. Grabowski was held to 11 yds. in four carries, and Southern California's Mike Garrett, the 1965 Heisman Trophy winner, broke loose for a total of 19 yds. On the sideline, All-Star Coach John Sauer was still screaming, "Come on, defense!" as the clock ran out on a score of 38-0-the worst trouncing...
