...them. Left End David ("Deacon") Jones, 29, stands 6 ft. 5 in., weighs 260 Ibs., and runs the 100 in 10 sec. flat. The Rams' right end, Lamar Lundy, 32 (6 ft. 7 in., 260 Ibs.), appears briefly in the movie version of In Cold Blood as a motorist who offers a lift to two hitchhiking murderers: they take one look at him and turn down the ride. Right Tackle Roger Brown, 30, operates on the theory that "the opposing team hates me and is trying to cut off my career, so I'm going to hurt them...

In Czechoslovakia, the crackdown is aimed as much at those who sell booze to drivers as at the drivers themselves; a Czech motorist in search of a nip must thus park his auto well away from the tavern and make his approach by foot. West Germany's ten years of breath testing by police has given rise to a new industry that produces lozenges and mouth sprays to mask alcoholic fumes in the breath...
