...first time I was ever booed in my life was with the Cowboys," says Meredith. "But I guess that's part of growing up as a pro quarterback." Against Cleveland last week, Meredith completed 16 out of 24 passes for 131 yds. and one touchdown-and walked off the field to a standing ovation...
...double wings, triple wings, a two-back formation, backs in motion to the strong side and the weak side-in other words, everything." To carry the ball, the Cowboys can call on Fullback Don Perkins, a stumpy (5 ft. 10 in., 210 lbs.) speedster who gained 111 yds. against the Browns, or Halfback Dan Reeves, who runs, says
...real specialty ever since he bossed the New York Giants' famed defensive brigade in the late 1950s. The Cowboys' ferocious defense, bulwarked by 255-lb. Tackle Bob Lilly, ranks No. 1 in the N.F.L. in nine separate categories. They have held their opponents to only 228 yds. per game-71 yds. on the ground. Enemy quarterbacks have completed only 45% of their passes against the Cowboys, and they have been dumped for losses 39 times.

Raye ran for 75 yds., mostly in the first half, set up a touchdown with a 42-yd. pass, and engineered the drive that produced a 47-yd. field goal by Dick Kenney. In the second half, straining for victory, Raye picked up one first down on a 41-yd. pass from his own end zone, another by running on fourth and one. But the Spartans...
...Harvard: "The Game," trouncing Yale 17-0, for its 31st victory against 45 defeats in one of college football's oldest rivalries; at Cambridge, Mass. Senior Halfback Bobby Leo rammed 1 yd. for one TD, sprinted 51 yds. for another; that plus a 29-yd. field goal gave the Cantabs their best season (8 wins, 1 loss) since 1920. Purdue assured itself of a trip to the Rose Bowl by clobbering Indiana 51-6, and U.C.L.A. likely came up Roses as well by upsetting Southern California 14-7. Surprise of the week: Texas Tech (3-6 this year) brought...
