...that they are out of their league. Ivy League rules forbid athletic scholarships, spring practice, and post-season games; yet, going into last week's game against Brown, Princeton had demolished 14 straight opponents. They wasted no time making it 15 in a row, ripping off 53 yds. in three plays to score the first time they got their hands on the ball. When the day was over, Tailback Ron Landeck had thrown four touchdown passes and the final score...
With the material he has, Colman doesn't have to get too cute. Guard Stas Maliszewski is an All-America. Tailback Landeck turned down five Big Ten offers to come East to college. And any time the Tigers bog down within 40 yds. or so of pay dirt, they can always call on the services of Charlie Gogolak. Like his brother Pete, who boots field goals and extra points for the American Football League's champion Buffalo Bills, Charlie kicks the ball soccer-fashion, with his instep rather than his toe-and he already holds practically every college...
...Rose-Bowl-or-bust battle between the last unbeaten teams still left in the once-mighty Big Ten. Purdue Quarterback Bob Griese passed for one touchdown and kicked a field goal, and the No. 2-ranked Spartans trailed 10-0 going into the final quarter. Then they marched 50 yds. for one TD, 60 yds. for another, won their sixth straight victory of the season. Notre Dame's only problem was containing Southern California's Mike Garrett, who had gained 170 yds. per game. Problem? Garrett got only 7 yds. in the first half, and Notre Dame...
...second-quarter lead, then stood helplessly as Texas fought back to pull ahead 24-20 with only four minutes left. At that point, the Razorbacks launched their only sustained drive of the second half. Flipping short sideline passes to conserve the clock, Quarterback Jon Brittenum marched his team 80 yds. and plunged over from the 1-yd. line for the TD that made it Arkansas 27, Texas...
...were Michelosen's Panthers. In all, 52 passes were thrown in the game, and the two teams gained a total of 1,071 yds. from scrimmage-just 16 short of the alltime collegiate record. Sighed Michelosen, "Just the fact that the defense is out there ordinarily would prevent anything like that." Ordinarily, yes-but not when the other team is West Virginia. Last week as the undefeated Mountaineers beat the Citadel, 25-2, their average in four games this season stood at 44.5 points per game...
