New England Patriots 1981 Schedule A UNIQUE FUNDING TRIANGLE CREATES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR URBAN BOYS AND GIRLS The Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (TAP) In our quest to improve the quality of life for Boston's youth the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston depends heavily on the generosity of others. The Frito-Lay Company is a prime exam­ ple of an advocate of the Clubs via an imaginative funding triangle thanks to the New England Patriots. Here's how it works. As the Patriots score points. Frito-Lay scores for the children of Boston, donating $100 to the Boys' and Girls Clubs for each point! This totaled $54.600 in 1980 alone! Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids. Frito-Lay puts their money where it counts. where it will do something positive for our children, and thus. for our community. Since 1976. the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston has annually turned to Frito-Lay for assistance in meeting our large financial challenges. Just as regularly. Frito-Lay has been there ... For five years, Frito-Lay has also supported the Clubs Annual Awards Dinner in the Charlestown. Roxbury.and South Boston communities. These events focus on the outstanding leader­ ship and achievements of our individual members. Recognition supported by Frito-Lay is especially important for our children. For five years, Frito-Lay has stood behind our Tri-Club Pro­ gram. designed to encourage an atmosphere of harmony. understanding, and productive interaction between girls and boys of all races and religions. For five years, Frito-Lay has supported the World of Work Program. designed to help unemployed inner-city teenagers become successful members of the work force. FOR FIVE YEARS, FRITO-LAY HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD FRIEND. Thank you, Frito-Lay.

    2 Michigon State News, East Lansing, Michigan MSU v. ND: two hungry teams Both teams need wins after rather slow start By JOECENTERS State News Sports Writer When MSU hosts Notre Dame Saturday in a 1:30 p.m. clash at Spartan Stadium, it will be the 44th time that the two football teams will have met. But this game will be far different than most of the meetings between the two schools. This contest will be between two tearhs that are fighting for its lives, which is unusual for both MSU and Notre Dame this early in the season. Both schools are 1-2 this season and the team that winds up on the short end of the score could find itself in a hole with no way to get out. The Irish lost their first two games of the season, a 3-0 setback to Missouri and a 28-14 defeat at the hands of Michigan, MSU's opponent next week in Ann Arbor. Last Saturday, Notre Dame finally got on the right track by beating Purdue 10-6. State News/Deborah J. Borin The Boilermakers took a 6-0 halftime lead on two field goals by Scott Sovereen, but that's all of the offense that Purdue could Lonnie Middleton (44), MSU's starting fullback, tries to burst past three muster against the Irish. A third quarter touchdown by Jerome Syracuse defenders in MSU's 49-21 win earlier this season. Heavens and a 27-yard field goal by Joe Unis later on in the same Middleton and his teammates will be seeking to rebound against Notre stanza gave Notre Dame its margin of victory.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • College All-Star Football Classic, August 2, 1963 • All-Stars 20, Green Bay 17
    College All-Star Football Classic, August 2, 1963 • All-Stars 20, Green Bay 17 This moment in pro football history has always captured my imagination. It was the last time the college underdogs ever defeated the pro champs in the long and storied history of the College All-Star Football Classic, previously known as the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game, a series which came to an abrupt end in 1976. As a kid, I remember eagerly awaiting this game, as it signaled the beginning of another pro football season—which somewhat offset the bittersweet knowledge that another summer vacation was quickly coming to an end. Alas, as the era of “big money” pro sports set in, the college all star game quietly became a quaint relic of a more innocent sporting past. Little by little, both the college stars and the teams which had shelled out guaranteed contracts to them began to have second thoughts about participation in an exhibition game in which an injury could slow or even terminate a player’s career development. The 1976 game was played in a torrential downpour, halted in the third quarter with Pittsburgh leading 24-0, and the game—and, indeed, the series—was never resumed. But on that sultry August evening in 1963, with a crowd of 65,000 packing the stands, the idea of athletes putting financial considerations ahead of “the game” wasn’t on anyone’s minds. Those who were in the stands or watching on televiosn were treated to one of the more memorable upsets in football history, as the “college Joes” knocked off the “football pros,” 20-17.
