Namath Takes
Ribbing Over
Interceptions
By VITO STELLINO
UPI Sports Writer
Mark Smolinski came stroll
ing into the New York Jets’
dressing room one day this
week wearing a bright red
sweater.
Spying quarterback Joe Na
math across the room, Smolin
ski yelled so all could hear,
“Hey, Joe, why don’t you have
the receivers wear these
sweaters this week.”
Namath looked up with a grin
and said, “Naw, it’d be better
to have the free safety wear
them."
The banter was in reference
to the Jets’ game last week
against the Denver Broncos
when Namath, who has had 23
passes intercepted this season,
outdid himself. Four were
picked off in one quarter and
the Broncos exploded for 26
points in that period en route to
a 33-24 triumph over the Jets.
Wrong Receiver
The embarrassing part of the
interceptions for Namath was
that the first two were
overthrows on his own part. The
Jet receivers were wide open
but Namath threw strikes to
Bronco free safety Jack Lentz.
The loss left the Jets tied with
the Houston Oilers for first
place in the Eastern Division of
the American Football League
at 7-3-1.
Both teams will be home
Sunday against tough competi
tion. The Jets host defending
AFL champion Kansas City—
which has been eliminated from
the race this season—while the
Oilers are playing the Oakland
Raiders, who are the best bet to
replace Kansas City as the
league champion.
The Jets are listed as a one
point pick over Kansas City
while Houston is a points
unde rd og against Oakland,
which has a 10-1 mark.
Braves Trade
Bob Cox For
Bob Tillman
ATLANTA (UPI) — The At
anta Braves will be getting
New York Yankees’ catcher
Bob Tillman and pitcher Dale
Roberts in a trade for minor
league third baseman Bobby
Cox.
The Braves, announcing the
trade yesterday, said Tillman
would be placed on their roster
and Roberts would be sent to
the team’s Richmond farm
club. Cox hit .298 last year
with the farm team.
Tillman, who appeared in 52
games for the Yankees, hit
.220, and Roberts was 9-4 in
relief at Syracuse.
Packers Primed
For Rams Attack
By JOE GERGEN
UPI Sports Writer
The Green Bay Packers <
whose last appearance at the ’
Los Angeles Coliseum was <
billed as “Super Sunday,” are <
primed to give the Rams a not- :
so-super Saturday in the Nation
al Football League’s game of i
the week.
The Packers emerged as 1
champions in the first Super :
Bowl last January against the
American Football League tit
lists, the Kansas City Chiefs. It
marked a significant milestone
in U.S. professional sports
history, yet only 61,946 cared
enough to attend.
On Saturday a sellout crowd
of 72,000 will sit in the coliseum
to witness a spectacle not
nearly so historic. The game,
however, will have a definite, if
indirect, bearing on the second
Super Bowl meeting between
the two leagues, to be staged in
Miami on Jan. 14, ■
Spalding Girls
Dump Russell
The Spalding eighth grade girls
won their fourth game in a row
Thursday, beating Russell in
East Point, 33-25.
Shelley Vaughn scored 14 po
ints for Spalding. Eleanor Walk
er made 11 and Cindy Jones and
Susan Ahl lour each.
The Spalding forwards have
hit 5 percent of their field shots
in the last three games.
Tech Rolls Over
’Dogs, 86-78
•By United Press Internationa
Georgia Tech, staging a sec
ond half blitzkreig, rolled over
arch - rival Georgia Thursday
night 86-78.
The game was one of two ma
jor contests in the Southeast
matching intense rivalries. In
the other, Florida topped Flori
da State 95-87.
Mississippi State dropped a
close one, 66 - 63, to Samford
at Birmingham in another non
conference game.
There is little basketball ac
tion tonight in the Southeast.
Saturday night, however, Duke
is at Alabama, Auburn at Wake
Forest, Florida at West Vir
ginia, Jacksonville at Georgia,
Pennsylvania at Kentucky, Lo
yola at Louisiana State, Missis
sippi and Arkansas meet at Lit
tle Rock, North Carolina visits
Vanderbilt, Samford travels to
Florida State, Miami is at Ha
waii and Tulane plays at Bay
lor.
Hard charging Phil Wagner
was largely responsible for the
Tech victory in the first meet
ing of the two schools in the
new basketball season. Trailing
39 - 41 at the end of the first
half, Wagner turned on the
steam to score 18 of his 30
points and put the Yellow Jack
ets into the lead.

The Packers can only be
spoilers in this one for a victory
over the Rams (9-1-2) would
virtually destroy Los Angeles’
coastal division title hopes and
dash any visions of a Super
Bowl bonanza. Green Bay (9-2-
1) already has clinched the
Central Division crown and is
playing only for pride, a quality
Coach Vince Lombardi de
mands.
Should the Rams follow the
form sheet which lists Los
Angeles as a five-point favorite
in the nationally televised
(CBS) contest, the Rams still
will have to beat front-running
Baltimore the following Sunday
for the title. The Colts figure to
have little trouble Sunday
against the fledgling New
Orleans Saints (2-10) and a
Baltimore triumph Sunday fol
lowing a Los Angeles loss
Saturday would give the Colts
1 the championship.
Laura Crouch, Margaret Mal
colm, Beth Barron and Rose
Watkins played a fine defensive
game. They forced Russell to
take outside shots and the los
er’s shooting percentage was
very low.
Others who played were Mar
tha Massengale, Peggy Lynch,
Louise Clouse, Vickie Ward, Jan
Biles and Linda Lane.
Coach Harvey Oglesby called
Russell the roughest team Spal
ding has played. “They were
very tough, especially going as
ter rebounds."
The Spalding girls will play
Meriwether County Tuesday in
Woodbury and will go to Jones
boro next Friday.
