Opening the season against Wake Forest, Lucas shook off his first-half jitters ("Man, I was scared") to sink 16 points, monopolize the backboards with 28 rebounds. Final score: Ohio State 77, Wake Forest 69. Still, the team and Lucas looked so rocky that Coach Taylor could not sleep the following night, finally dozed off on the living-room floor, where he had thrown himself down to brood...
...spring-legged hotshot. In one span of 77 sec., he scored 8 points (2 tap-ins, 4 foul shots), finished with 34 points in his team's 94-55 victory.

Passing in the calm lee of Tackle Jim Parker (6 ft. 3 in., 275 lbs.), Unitas threw for three touchdowns to bring his season's total to 29, break the N.F.L. record held since 1943 by the Bears' Sid Luckman. When his receivers were covered, Unitas...
