more than decade.
By driving himself harder than any other
pro, Layne gets away with acts no one else
would dare. He's the most respected of
stars. He'll carry the ball, himself - un-
like most highly paid passers - and in 1859
averaged SIS yards per trip. Although aged
by pro standards and well able to retire (he
owns a bowling alley and oil leases in
Texas), he's the peppiest man on the field.
What about all that night life he's sup
posed to indulge in?

Another Layne Law goes: ''Never be

Like Babe Ruth, when all hope seems lost
it is then that Bobby strikes his best
blows. Against the Cleveland Browns, with
two minutes left to play, Layne was backed
into his own end zone. The Browns had the
day won, 2O-l4. Bobby barked his orders,
took the ball and started throwing. His
passes connected, the Steelers beat the clock
by seconds with touchdown plus an extra
point kick by Layne - and won, 2l-2O.
Footballs paradOxical Turnover has saved
many such game, through more than 200
performances. However, perhaps the last
of Layne's Laws is his real secret:

the ball. He kicked a few pants,
too. He also threw touchdowns,
