Newspapers.com Extra has the Kansas City Star. Along with Houston, Denver is another problem city. Haven't been able to find a good online source for either the Denver Post or the Rocky Mountain News.

The way I've always understood it is the numbering system was based on single-platoon ball. Backs were backs, ends were ends, etc., regardless of which side of the ball they played on: 1-19 QB and kicking specialists 20-49 All other backs, including defensive backs and flanker backs 50-59 Centers an...

Best guess is a Colts/Bills game on December 5, 1971. I remember seeing a 17-0 score flashed on the screen and the game ended at 24-0 so that was probably it. I was six and watching with my dad.

I really like you website: http://raiderlogbook.com. I can see what you trying to accomplish.
