Aches, Pains May Hurt
Chiefs In Pocketbook
By STU CAMEN
UPI Sports Writer
Two pulled hamstrings and a
severely sprained ankle could
wind up hurting the Kansas City
Chiefs where it hurts most, in
the pocketbook.
, The pulled hamstrings belong
to Sherill Headrick and E. J.
Holub while Bobby Bell is
limping on the Injured ankle.
The Chiefs face their two
biggest games of the year
within a five-day span as they
meet Western Division leader
Oakland on Thanksgiving Day.
Both the San Diego and Oakland
contests are at Kansas City and
with the Chiefs currently
wallowing in third place in the
West behind the Raiders and
Chargers, the schedule would
seem to favor the defending
champs. About the only thing
Stram could ask for Is a couple
of healthy linebackers to
complement his club's explosive
offense.
In other AFL games Bunday,
New York plays at Boston,
Miami visits Oakland and
Denver is at Buffalo.
Tlie Jets, leaders in the
Eastern Division by one game
over idle Houston, are a four
point choice to repeat an earlier
season victory over the Pa
triots.
The only bright spots for
Boston have been rushing
leader Jim Nance and five-time
scoring champion Gino Cappel
letti, who has a chance to take
over the scoring lead from New
York’s Emerson Boozer, who Is
sidelined for the rest of the
season with a knee injury. f
Oakland is an overwhelming
pick to run Its winning streak to
five and extend the Dolphins’
losing skein to eight. Miami is
the lowest scoring team in the
AFL with only 78 points in eight
games and it is going up
against a Raider squad that
leads in all three major
defensive categories. Oakland’s
biggest worry will be a
tendency to look past the
Dolphins and toward its Thanks
giving Day game against
Kansas City.
Buffalo has beaten Denver
nine straight times dating back
to 1962 and one of its three
victories this season came at
the expense of the Broncos, who
are In the throes of a nine-game
losing streak. The Bills, defend
ing Eastern Division champs,
have been crippled by injuries
all season.

Gary Player Keeps
'Most Amazing Hours'
By MURRAY OLDERMAN
NEA Sports Editor
MEXICO CITY-(NEA)-Gary Player, tan and fit, his
cheeks filled out from a 10-day idyll on his many-acred farm,
drove down to Johannesburg to catch the 6 pm. flight that
would take him to the World Cup of Golf. This was on a Fri
day afternoon in South Africa.
The South African Airways plane took off without a hitch.
So Gary settled back—as much as he ever settles back—for
an uneventful trip. After all, he travels 200,000 miles a year.
Touchdown was the next morning in Madrid at 9 o’clock.
Gary checked and found out he had a four-hour layover.
“I was damn unlucky,” he recounted. “I could take a TWA
out at noon or 1 o’clock. The latter was direct to New York,
so I got on it. We’d no sooner got in the air than the pilot
announced, ‘This flight has been re-routed via Boston.’ ’’
It was 5 p.m. in Boston when he landed, but already, Gary
pointed out, midnight in South Africa. He’d gone 30 hours
without taking off anything more than his shoes.
“I flew to New York,” he continued, ‘‘and find I’ve missed
my connection there to Mexico City. There is an 8 o'clock
Saturday night flight, but the gentleman at the counter tells
me it’s all filled, with only standby space.”
Gary prudently stood there and took his chances on making
the 8 o’clock. "Oh by the way,” he told the agent, “I’ve got
no visa.”
The young man blanched.
‘‘But I’ve got word from the International Golf Association
(sponsor of the World Cup) there’ll be one waiting for me in
Mexico City.”
“They’ll make you turn around and come right back here,”
said the agent. “You’ll just be paying 3500* for the trip.”
(*A Player exaggeration.) «-
“I’ll chance it, said Gary, and boarded the plane.
As they taxied down the runway, the pilot announced,
“Sorry, folks, we have some trouble with our hydraulic sys
tem. There’ll be a one-hour delay.”
It was 2:30 a.m. in Mexico City when the plane carrying
q Gary Player landed, 40 >4 hours after his original departure
from Johannesburg. They did not make him turn around and
go back.
But it doesn’t end there, folks.
When Gary arrived at the hotel, 3 a.m., the desk clerk
looked at him blankly and said, “Well, I’m very sorry. You
weren't here at 6 o’clock last night, so we gave your room
to someone else."
With maximum persuasion. Player assured him he wasn’t
going back into the street. Empty space was located in a
rented suite.
“They brought three stretchers (cots),” said Gary, “and
put them in a side room. There I am with two Austrian golf
ers who came in at the same time.”
Gary Player has also found there is a delayed effect to this
topsy-turvey schedule maintained by an international golfer.
“You go to the bathroom,” he said a couple of days later,
“at the most amazing hours.”

Dick Tiger
Wins TKO
LAS VEGAS. Nev. (UPD—
Ageless Dick Tiger, a technical
knockout victor over Roger
Rouse Friday night in the Las
Vegas Convention Center, hinted
today he may make the next
defense of his world light
heavyweight title against anoth
er veteran, former champion
Harold Johnson.
The 38-year-old Tiger, who
floored Rouse three times
before referee Jimmy Olivas
called a halt with just 52
seconds gone in the 12th round,
smiled quietly when his Ameri
can representative, Jersey
Jones, said the 39-year-old
Johnson and Italian Piero Del
Papa w’ere the only challengers
under consideration.
Jones said he had ruled out
top-ranked Bob Foster of
Washington D.C., and Puerto
Rican Jose Torres, from whom
Tiger won the crown 11 months
ago and again outpointed in his
initial defense last May. Foster
was being sidestepped for
undisclosed reasons, Jones said,
and a third bout with Torres did
not figure to excite the fans.
Johnson, one of the better
boxers in the 175-pound division,
lost the crown in 1963 when he
dropped a controversial decision
in this gambling spa to fleet
footed Willie Pastrano.

Boozer
By JOE GERGEN
UP ISporte Writer
The Green Bay Packers,
whose football style has been
called a throwback to a bygone
era, have gone so far as to
revive the “flying wedge.”
It isn’t exactly the same as
the old illegal formation when
players locked arms and swept
down the field in a “V” but it
has been just as effective since
coach Vince Lombardi unveiled
it three weeks ago in St. Louis.
Hit Weak Spot
The Packers, who use it only
on kickoff returns, aim their
wedge at the weak spot in the
other team’s kick coverage and
“flier” Travis Williams does
the rest, namely outruns any
would-be tacklers to the goal
line.
When Williams turns It on, of
course, there are few who can
match him. He already has tied
the single season NFL standard
for three TDs set by Vitamin
Smith of the Rams in 1950 and
tied by Abe Woodson of San
Francisco in 1963.
There’s nothing wrong with
Green Bay’s other offensive
weapons, either. Donny Ander
son and Ben Wilson proved last
week they’re no slouches as
replacements for Elijah Pitts
and Jim Grabowski and Bart
| Starr is throwing well again.
The Packers have been installed
as 13-polnt favorites over the
49ers, who have lost their last
three games after a fine start.
While San Francisco tangles
with a toughie, Coastal Division
pacesetters Baltimore (7-0-2)
and Los Angeles (6-1-2) are
expected to enjoy themselves at
the expense of inferior op
ponents. The Colts are favored
by 13 over Detroit and the
Rams are 19-point choices over
Atlanta.
Dallas (7-2) Is a nine-point
favorite over Washington (3-4-2)
in a Capital Division pairing
which shapes up as the leading
game in the Eastern Confer
ence, Century leader st. Louis
(5-3-1) visits Chicago (4-5) in a
game rated even by the
oddsmakers, Cleveland (5-4) is
favored by 10 over Minnesota
(2-5-2), New York (4-5) is a two
point pick over Pittsburgh (2-6-
1) and Philadelphia (4-5) has a
nine-point edge over New

Top Offense
The Colts, driving for the

i since 1942, boast the league's
• most prolific offense, the best
> passer in Johnny Unitas, the top
receiver in Willie Richardson.
i Unitas completed his last 12
i passes against Atlanta a week
; ago and can shatter the NFL
t mark of 13 consecutive strikes
■ by completing his first two in
[ Detroit. Mel Farr, the rookie
, who ranks third In rushing, lias

, for the Lions.
Charley Taylor is expected to

[ three meetings between the
Redskins and Cowboys, the
> game has not been settled until
i the final 15 second and then by
I a total of seven points.
Larry Rakestraw, despite a
t brilliant five-touchdown relief
[ performance last week, has
( been relegated to the bench
again in favor of Jack
Concannon, who was knocked
, senseless by the Giants who
[ were in turn rendered helpless
by Rackstraw.
