Former Dartmouth standout Bill Roberts '51, who caught a pass from Bart Starr in a short stint with the Packers and was later both a CIA operative and a U.S. marine, has died at 77. Find a story about his amazing life here. From the story:
A highlight of Roberts' collegiate career was a game against Holy Cross, when he tallied runs of 34, 52 and 55 yards. In two seasons playing football for Dartmouth, in New Hampshire, he gained just under 1,500 yards, Michael Roberts said. He also set the single-game rushing record for the college. That record has since been broken.In fact, this record was 698 yards in 1951, a record that stood until Jake Crouthamel broke it in 1958. Roberts' yardage is 16th on the single-season Dartmouth list. He's 19th in career rushing yardage with 1,237 yards in just two years. He also held that mark until Crouthamel came along.

Gargiulo's Calgary Stampedes and Crawford's British Columbia Lions both scored 14 points in overtime and had to settle for a 45-45 tie. The draw continued: Gargiulo had one tackle at defensive end; Crawford one stop in the secondary. Stats are here. ...
