Pro Record
By CHARLES RICHARDS
UPI Sports Writer
The Cincinnati-Boston clash In
Boston Sunday will have no
effect on the title race in the
American Football League, but
to the teams concerned some
thing vital is at stake.
To Cincinnati, a victory would
be victory No. 4 in the 1968
season. Compared to the 10
victories of Kansas City and
Oakland and the eight victories
of New York, four isn’t much,
but it would be more than any
other expansion team has won
in its first year.
For Boston Patriots Coach
Mike Holovak, the game repre
sents a matter of pride. He’s
going with a record nine rookies
in the lineup—for the third
Sunday in a row—and wants to
show they are there for their
ability and not just as part of a
rebuilding effort.
“The new men we’re using
have exceptional promise not
only for next year but for right
now,” Holovak said. “We’d like
to finish out our home season
with a win.”
Cincinnati will still have a
game at New York, against the
Eastern Division champion Jets,
on Dec. 7 to get the fourth

victory if it escapes them
Sunday. Their chances there
would depend on how many
regulars are playing for New
York as head coach Weeb
Ewbank tries to give his
starters a rest for the league
playoff and also let some of the
substitutes get in some game
experience.
The Bengals are headed by
Paul Robinson, a leading
contender for rookie-of-the-year
honors. He is only 88 yards
short of 1,000 yards rushing for
the season and is expected to
become the first freshman since
Cookie Gilchrist in 1962 to top
the barrier.
In other AFL games Sunday,
San Diego is at Denver and
Miami is at New York.
San Diego needs a victory to
stay within one game of both
Oakland and Kansas City, the
two Western Division co-leaders
and the two teams the Chargers
must play next, to finish their
season.
Miami could edge into second
place, ahead of Houston, in the
Eastern Division standings by
beating the Jets. New York is
favored, however, although Ew
bank is expected to substitute
liberally, since the team alrea
dy has the championship
assured.
Kansas City beat Houston 24-
10 and Oakland beat Buffalo 13-
10 in games played on
Thanksgiving Day.

Prestige At Stake
For N. Y. Giants
By PETE ALFANO
DPI Sports Writer
There is no place like home
except when it’s New York,
where ti could cost a team a
chance at the National Football
League title.
The New York Giants (7-4)
were all but eliminated from
the NFL’s Capitol Division race
when Dallas (10-2) defeated
Washington 29-20 on Thanksgiv
ing day. However, if the Giants
were still in the Century
Division as they were last
season, this Sunday’s game
against Cleveland (8-3) would
have given New York a chance
to win the crown and gain just
reward for their continued
improvement over the last two
years.
But, as the NFL’s only
nomadic team, the Giants were
switched to the Capitol Division
this season so that in alternate
years all Eastern Conference
teams would be able to play in
New York and take home a
share of the gate receipts.
Thus, the Giants will have to
be content with trying to beat
long time rival Cleveland
Sunday just for prestige.
L.A. Picked
In other games Sunday Los
Angeles is a one point favorite
over the Vikings in Minnesota,
Green Bay is a touchdown pick
over the Forty Nlners in San
Francisco, the Colts are 21 over
Atlanta in Baltimore, St. Louis
is six over the Steelers in
Pittsburgh and the Saints are
six over Chicago in New
Orleans.
In the other Thanksgiving
Day game, Philadelphia scored
its first victory in 12 starts, 12-
0, over Detroit.
The Browns 12 point
favorites over the Giants and
have won six straight behind
the quarterbacking of ex-Steeler
Bill Nelsen.
Nelsen, who didn’t start until
the fourth game, has thrown 17
TD passed and is ranked sixth
in the league. His counterpart,

San Francisco (5-5-1) has
been up and down this season
but the Forty Nlners boast two
of the league’s top rushers, in
Ken Willard and Gary Lewis.
Earl Morrall, with 22 TD
passes, continues to write the
Cindarella story of the year as
Baltimore (10-1) gets a breather
against Atlanta (2-9). Randy

Laughing Matter*™***""*
ROME, Italy—(NEA)—ln the World Cup golf matches at
Ciriolo Golf Olgiata, Lee Trevino hit a magical iron shot,
one that appeared to curve around a tree trunk, duck under
branches, soar over a bunker and bite a few feet from the
pin.
“Signor Trevino,” called a Roman from the gallery, “are
you always that lucky?”
“Signor,” replied the U.S. Open champion, “the more I
practice, the luckier I get.”
It is often difficult to take a clown seriously. This should
not be the case with Trevino, the stocky, swarthy Mexican-
American from Texas. Trevino clowns, but he is not a
clown. He is a superb golfer, combining a wondrous game
with a deep dedication and concentration.
Those qualities, however, are easy to overlook because j
of the Trevino trappings.’ He banters with the gallery. He
kids his playing partners. He jokes with his caddy. He
even talks to the green. After bogeying a hole at the
Olgiata course, he said, “You’ve been awful bad to me,
hole. I’m going to come back tonight and rip you up.”
Another time he hit a powerful drive, then made a mus
cle and explained to the delighted gallery, “Spa-ghet-ti.”
Os course he is immensely popular with the gallery. In
America, in Rome and in Liverpool, England, where he
played the Alcan in October, there are squeals of delight
and shouts of “Ole!” when he strokes a good shot.
Trevino is becoming internationally renowned. His effer
vescence has contributed, but so has his golf ability. His
sudden fame is particularly remarkable because Trevino
has played on the pro circuit for only a year and a half.
This, and his clowning, have given rise to a question. A
Liverpool cab driver, after reading that Trevino had come
off the plane wearing a white stetson, fawn calf-length
winklepicker boots and tight peacock blue trousers, asked
an American sportswriter, “Is this Lee Trevino a freak?
Or is he a great golfer?”
This piqued the curiosity of Irish pro Jimmy Kinsella,
who played a round with Trevino and U.S. partner Julius
Boros in the World Cup.
“I wondered if Trevino was a flash-in-the-pan,” said
Kinsella. “After 18 holes with him, I have the answer: No!
He is a great player.”
The question was also being asked in America, after
Trevino, a relative unknown, won the U.S. Open this sum
mer in Rochester, N.Y.
He nearly won the next two tournaments, in Cleveland
and Detroit, then slipped.
“I signed a contract for a million dollars for the next
five years,” said Trevino, “and immediately I was running
all over the place. An exhibition one day in Ashland, Ky.,
some engagement the next day in Chicago. I was still
playing tournaments, but I wasn’t practicing. I was ex
hausted, mentally and physically. My game began to fall]

O.J. Simpson
Back Os Year
NEW YORK (UPD—O.J.
Simpson has done O.J. Simpson
one better.
Simpson last year was named
the United Press International
back from Southern California
finishing second to UCLA
quarterback Gary Beban for
Heisman Trophy Honors, he
copped both awards this year.
The 6-2, 207-pound running
back from Southrn California
was named winner of the
Heisman Trophy last Monday
and tabbed as UPl’s top back
Friday.
Simpson, who figures to be
the No. 1 pick in the joint NFL
AFL draft in January, easily
outscored Purdue’s Leroy Keyes
in UPl’s balloting of sportswri
ters and sportscasters around
the nation. He got 160 of the 192
votes cast.
Keyes was runnerup with 10,
followed by Notre Dame’s Terry
Hanratty with 5 and Texas’
Chris Gilbert with four.
With one regular season game
remaining, Simpson needs 320
yards against Notre Dame to
break the NCAA career rushing
mark of Eugene Morris of West
Texas State. Simpson has
gained 3,069 yards on the
grounds in just two seasons
with the Trojans, while Morris
took three years to set the
existing mark of 3,388 yards.
