Backed by Goalie Les Matthews, who made twelve saves, and Defenseman Jim Ferguson, who meted out his share of bruises, the Blue Jays outlasted the midshipmen 12-7 to register their ninth consecutive victory...

Or about four massive linemen in purple shirts named Eller, Page, Larsen and Marshall, holding off the mighty Los Angeles Rams three times from the two-yard line. Or about Running Back Gale Sayers, a Homeric combination of speed and skill and strength and courage, with only a wrecked knee...
