The sports world was still abuzz about Chicago Bear football halfback Gale Sayers from Kansas University. He already had scored 21 touchdowns in his rookie season, breaking the old NFL season record of 20 by former Cleveland Brown all-star Jim Brown. By season’s end, Sayers wound up with a record 22 touchdown after scoring only 20 in his three seasons at Kansas. Sayers recently had registered six touchdowns in a single game against San Francisco.
