...Groza boosted the score to 20-0 with his second field goal. In the fourth quarter, Collins added the final fillip-reaching back over his shoulder to pull in another wonderful 41-yd. pass at the 10, shrugging Defensive Halfback Bobby Boyd off his shoulders, staggering into the end zone to make it 27-0. Then, with 26 sec. still showing on the clock, both teams ran for their lives as the exultant Cleveland crowd surged onto the field...
Cleveland's Frank Ryan faded, stood up in the slot, and looked for his receiver, Gary Collins. Firing a waist-high bullet pass, he hit Collins in the end zone. This was the first touchdown in last week's National Football League championship between the Cleveland Browns and the Baltimore Colts (see SPORT).

On the Western side accumulated intended gifts that the surly Vopo guards would not allow through: books, records, TV equipment, film, photographs of any kind-even color slides of family outings...
...victory over Boston College in the finals of the Milwaukee Classic basketball tournament, first of traditional round of big-college holiday battles. Last year's N.C.A.A. champion, U.C.L.A. ran its 1964 winning streak to five in a row, baffling the fast-breaking Eagles with a full-court "zone press"-despite 34 points by B.C. Guard John Austin, who was playing with an injured wrist...
