GREENVILLE, S.C.—Atlanta Falcon Coach Norm Van Brocklin appears to be listening to signal
called by quarterback Randy Johnson (12) during workout at training camp. Falcon officials were
surprised when Johnson showed up at camp after having issued a “play me or trade me”
ultimatum during the off-season Johnson, a five-year veteran, has been taking his regular turn
during training sessions. Van Brocklin said Johnson’s future is in his own hands. (UPI)

Petty :sssss
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(UPI)—If Richard Petty wins
the Yankee 400 Stock Car Race
at Michigan International
Speedway on Sunday, he will
push his season winnings over
the $200,000 mark.
Petty, the Randleman, N.C.,
driver who practically owns the
NASCAR record book already,
would thus add another record
to his string.
He topped the $1 million
figure in career earnings two
weeks ago, and now has a
record $191,855 in winnings this
year, according to statistics
released by NASCAR Monday.
The winning purse in Sun
day’s $73,595 Yankee 400 is
$15,020, which would put Petty
well over the $200,000 goal he
says means more to him than
the $1 million mark.
Petty pushed his Plymouth to
victory in a 500-lap race at
Ona, W. Va., Sunday to boost
his Winston Cup lead to 199
points over runnerup James
Hylton, of Inman, S.C. Petty
now has 3,010 points to 2,811 for
Hylton.
Cecil Gordon of Arden, N.C.,
holds third place in the point
race with 2,562, while Bobby
Allison of Hueytown, Ala., is
fourth with 2,443.

Fran gone; Giants, too
By United Press International
The New York Giants insist
Fran Tarkenton has retired.
Fran Tarkenton insists he is
only waiting for an “accepta
ble” contract.
Wellington T. Mara, Giants
president, said Tarkenton told
him he was retiring because
the team refused to give him a
loan “well into six figures.”
However, from his home in
Atlanta, the 31-year-old quarter
back, a 10-year NFL veteran,
said, “I have not retired, as
such. I just don’t want to play
without a contract. The Giants
and I have not been able to
come to terms, and I’d like to
leave it at that.”
As long as the scrambler is
gone, no matter what the
reason, the Giants can look for
the worst. And things really
couldn’t seem much worse than
they did on Monday night
unless the Giants had been
playing the Houston Oilers for
real during the regular season
instead of just for fun in an
exhibition.

quarterback, prove that he
could handle the job as well as
Tarkenton and make everyone
wonder why he hadn’t been
discovered sooner. It didn’t
happen that way. A 35-6 defeat
is what happened to the Giants.
In the early minutes of the
second quarter, the Oilers were
ahead 21-0 and Shiner had been
humiliated when the ball was
wrestled out of his arms by
linebacker George Webster,
who ambled seven yards for a
touchdown.
Houston quarterback Charley
Johnson provided the punch for
Houston early in the game with
seven .straight completions,
including one for a 56-yard
touchdown to Charlie Joiner.
Joiner, who caught eight
passes for 132 yards, also
wound up the scoring for
Houston with a 19-yard catch
from rookie quarterback Lynn
Dickey, who hit all six of his
passes for 58 yards. Joiner’s
yardage was more than that
managed by the whole Giant
team, which had 110 yards total
offense.

Giants coach Alex Webster said
after the game. “He (Tarken

games last year and now
....he’s gone ... I told him not to
do anything foolish. I was very
much surprised.”

least the Giants can gain
consolation in the quarterback
problems of other teams.
The New York Jets lost Joe
Namath in an exhibition game
against Detroit on Saturday
night, but Dr. James Nicholas,
who performed an operation on
Namath’s injured knee on
Monday, said the colorful
quarterback will be back in
November.
In another exhibition game on
Monday night, the Philadelphia
Eagles defeated Oakland 25-24
after raiders quarterback Da
ryle Lamonica injured his leg
in pre-game practice.
Linebacker Bill Hobbs
blocked two punts to set up a
touchdown and a safety and
rookie Happy Seller kicked
three field goals for the
Philadelphia victory. Ken Sta
bler, who went all the way as
Lamonica’s replacement, con
nected for three touchdowns
with his passes.
Other prominent quarter
backs out of action before the
season even begins include Joe
Kapp, who left the New
England Patriots in a contract
from the lineup and put in Wes
Parker, who proceeded to rap
out four hits and help lead the
Dodgers to a 6-5 victory over
Bob Gibson and the Cardinals.
Willie Davis also had four hits
for the Dodgers, who are now
4% games behind the San
Francisco Giants in the Nation
al League West race.

Another defection occurred on
Monday when Francis Peay,
starting tackle for the Green
Bay Packers for four years,
angrily walked out of training
camp. Green Bay coach Dan
Devine said Peay’s move was
permanent.
Peay has been bothered by a
hip ailment, and while taking
part in drills Monday he
reportedly was chided by an
assistant coach for not "Working
hard enough. A second coach
told the big tackle he was fined,
and Peay threw his helmet to
the ground, went to the
clubhouse, cleaned out his
locker and left.
“I am extremely disappointed
that Francis has chosen to
disassociate himself from the
squad,” Devine said. “I want to
make it perfectly clear that in
no way have I lost any respect
for him as a person and I am
sure he did what he felt he had
to do. His departure leaves us
in a real bind at offensive
tackle.”
