Redskins win
‘must game’
By SAM FOGG
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Philadelphia’s Mike McCor
mack rates Washington’s “Over
The Hill” defense a little better
than Minnesota’s “Purple Peo
ple Eaters,” in the Redskin-
Viking playoff battle in Min
nesota next week.
“But it should be a tremen
dous game,” McCormack said
after watching the Redskins
overpower his Eagles 38-20
Sunday, to clinch the wildcard
spot in the National Conference
Super Bowl playoffs.
“Washington has to be
considered a very strong
prospect for the Super Bowl,”
the Eagle coach, who was an
assistant with the Redskins last
year, predicted. “From what I
saw the Washington defense
seems a little above Min
nesota’s.”
He also pointed out that
Washington’s Larry Brown had
his best game of the year, after
being hobbled by injuries most
of the season. Brown caught
three of the four touchdown
passes thrown by Redskin
quarterback Bill Kilmer, and
carried eight yards for another
as he complied 150 yards on the
ground and another 105 as a
receiver.
Redskin head coach George
Allen announced that he has
decided against exposing his
Redskins to the rigors of the
Minnesota winter until Friday
when they’ll go to Bloomington.
“We’re going to stay at
Redskin park right here,” he
said. “We feel we can do
everything we need to do right
at home.”
Os the victory over the
Eagles, which gave the Skins a
10-4 record, Allen commented,

that the Dallas Cowboys were

Redskins in their two regular

like to meet Dallas for the

settle the issue between the two
rivals who broke even in their
two meetings.
“The defense let down a bit
against the Eagles,” the
Washington defensive tackle
said. “If the offense plays as
well next week and the defense

it. And I’d sure like a crack

Adolph Rupp’s
condition
is improved
ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) -
Adolph Rupp, the man credited
with bringing Southeastern bas
ketball into the modern era,
continued to improve Sunday
night following his hospitaliza
tion for a perforated ulcer.
• A spokesman for the family
said Rupp, 72, was expected to
remain in Orange Memorial
Hospital for another seven to 10
days before returning home to
Kentucky.
“He hasn’t lost any of his
fire, but he’ll probably have to
work at a little bit slower pace
for the next few months,” said
Joe Flynn of the National
Junior Pro Basketball program.
Flynn was accompanying
Rupp when he was stricken
with stomach pains Friday
night, the last day of a five-day
swing through Florida promot
ing junior pro basketball.
“The coach wanted to say he
was real happy with the way
things are going for the
program in Florida and with
the way he’s been treated,”
Flynn said.
He added that organizers of
the program expected to sign
up around 10,000 Florida
youngsters between the ages of
8 and 14.
Rupp coached the Kentucky
Wildcats for 42 successful
seasons before he retired in
1970. Currently a board mem
ber of the American Basketball
Association’s Kentucky Colo
nels, Rupp has been an almost
legendary figure in basketball.
Surgery on the ulcer lasted
an hour Friday night.
Rupp’s wife, Esther, had
flown from Kentucky to be at
his bedside.

Jaynes makes onnnTO
Kansas favorite Or UK IO
By CHARLES S. ALDINGER
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) -
Kansas quarterback David
Jaynes is expected to light the
fireworks against underdog
North Carolina State in to
night’s nationally-televised Lib
erty Bowl before a near
capacity crowd of 50,000.
Kansas (7-3-1) is a slight
favorite on the strength of All-
America Jaynes’ passing arm.
North Carolina State, which
wound up with an 8-3 record
and the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence championship, will rely on
a strong running game and a
tough pass defense. Game time
isB:OOCST.
Jaynes is a ready-made pro
passer at 6-2 and 212-pounds
and is expected to go in the
first round of the draft when he
graduates this year. He threw
for 2,131 yards and 13 touch
downs.
Kansas coach Don Fam
brough and North Carolina
State’s Lou Holtz both agree
that the outcome will swing
heavily on how well Jaynes’
throws the football.
State, which will be trying to
atone for an 84-66 drubbing of
its basketball team at the
hands of UCLA Saturday, will
use Willie Burden and three
other running backs tabbed
“the four stallions” for ball
control against the big Kansas
defense. The others are Charley
Young, Stan Fritts and Ronald
Hooks.
Burden ran for 1,014 yards
and the ACC rushing title this
year.
Kansas tied for second in the
rugged Big Eight Conference
and upset Missouri, 14-13, in the
closing game. The Jayhawks
played a tougher schedule than
N.C. State although the Wolf
pack almost came out on top
against unbeaten Penn State
before bowing 35-29.
It will be the fifth bowl
appearance for N.C. State and
the Wolfpack’s third Liberty
trip. State defeated Georgia, 14-
7, here in 1967 and lost to

Mississippi State, 16-12, in 1963.
Kansas is 1-2 in bowl
competition and it will be the
first Liberty visit for the
Jayhawks.
Air Force Lt. Col. John A.
Dramesi will be honored in the
Liberty’s tradition of patriotic
halftime shows. The New
Jersey native spent five years
in a North Vietnam POW camp.
Dramesi is the fellow who
made a crude American flag
from scraps of bedding, under
wear and towel thread while in
captivity. Thousands of small
American flags will be waved
by the crowd in a salute to the
POWs released this year.
“A year ago,” Dramesi said,
“I guess I was looking forward
to Christmas because we got a
half-decent meal on two holi
days. We always looked for
ward to Christmas and the Tet
holiday. We really looked
forward to the meal.”

Flames
lose. 2-1
ATLANTA (UPI) - Al Mc-
Donough would be a National
Hockey League all - star every
year if he played only against
the Atlanta Flames.
“He should just play against
us all season and then collect
his bonus money,” said Flames
goalie Phil Myre Sunday night
after McDonough had scored
both goals in a 2-1 victory for
the Pittsburgh Penguins.
In the nine games the Flames
and the Penguins have played
since Atlanta entered the NHL
last season, McDonough has
scored 11 goals.
“I always seem to do well

McDonough said. “Just plain
luck is the only thing I can
figure.”
McDonough’s fir st score came
with the game only 41 seconds
old. He stole a Flames’ pass and
whipped it past Myre. McDon
ough scored again in the final
period when he zipped another
stolen puck by Myre.
Atlanta’s only goal came in
the first period when John Stew
art took a pass from Chuck Ben
nett and fired it into the right
side of the Penguin net.
