"We had a blizzard for 2 w e e k s and m o ve dth e game into Chicago stadium. . . Yes, we had spe cialrules for punts, and I believe there were 2 of them thathit the roof. We ruled them touchb acks..

"Potsy Clark (Portsmouth coach) claimed after th eg am e th at ou r only touchdown wa s illegal because pu rpasser wa s less than 5 yards behind th e line of scrim-mage, that was the rule thenthe passer had to throwfrom .at least 5 yards back."Well, af ter that season I proposed that we ch ang eth e rule to let the passer throw from anywhere behindthe line.

"I told the coachlast week I wa s recovered from my leg in j ur y an d couldcarry th e ball against Green Bay,"'Casares said, "buthe didn' t want to take a chance-oh another injury.
