...with fresh gusto, and he was using a new putter. On the first day, he limbered up with a so-so 72. Next day he cut his score to a five-under 66, and in the third round he was the old Arnold Palmer. His tee shots carried 310 yds. or more, and his putting was uncanny: twelve times in 18 holes he got down with one putt. Rattling off seven straight birdies-just one shy of the P.G.A. record-he shot a nine-under 62, opened up a seven-stroke gap on the field. "What's Arnie trying...
...Paul Warfield or Gary Collins. The first job fell to Packer Linebacker Ray Nitschke. "Brown was my big heat," Nitschke said afterward. "I keyed on him 85% of the time." The measure of his success was that in the crucial second half Brown gained a grand total of 9 yds. Ryan was the responsibility of the whole Packer line. Time after time, he dropped back to throw-and suddenly found himself looking down the throat of an onrushing Green Bay lineman. He was thrown four times for losses, and between them, Collins and Warfield caught only five passes...
...field, scoring a touchdown and a field goal, controlling the ball so effectively that the Browns got to run only 16 plays to Green Bay's 35. The stars of that relentless assault were the cripples: Fullback Taylor, Halfback Hornung.

When the final gun sounded, it was Hornung and Taylor who hoisted Coach Lombardi to their shoulders, and paraded him off the field. The future might...
...Sugar Bowl, though hardly in the expected manner. Bored fans were already moving toward the exits as the fourth quarter opened with Missouri leading 20-0. Then they started right back to their seats. Led by Quarterback Steve Spurrier, who completed 27 out of 45 passes for 352 yds., the aroused Gators fought on to score three last-period touchdowns, miss victory by the margin of three bungled conversions...
...Bowl at Pasadena, Calif., unbeaten Michigan State was the No. 1 team-and nobody in his right mind would have given a plugged nickel for the Bruins' chances. Michigan State's overpowering defensive line (244 lbs. per man) had held ten opponents to an average of 45.6 yds. rushing per game; on offense, the Spartans had averaged 32.1 points a game. What's more, they had already beaten the Bruins once 13-3. They were 14½-point favorites, and Los Angeles newspapers went so far as to call the game "the mismatch of the century...
