THE BACK: O.J. Simpson of USC gained 236 yards rushing, caught six passes for 57 yards, returned kicks for 72 yards and scored four times, twice in the fourth quarter, as the Trojans battled from behind to defeat Minnesota.

THE LINEMAN: Gene Huey, a split end on offense who doubles as a halfback on defense, was superb as both. He caught seven passes for 86 yards and two TDs and made four unassisted tackles for Wyoming against Utah State.
