Superjets Get Back
For Hero's Welcome
NEW YORK (UPD — The New
York Super Jets arrived home
to a heroes welcome from title-
starved New Yorkers who last
celebrated a champion when
the Yankee* won the 1962 World
g-^jes.
A crowd of 500 Jets’ wor-
Ehipors lined the visitor’s en-
trance at John F. Kennedy
International Airport Monday
to greet tire chartered flight
carrying members of the “Cin-
derella” team that heat the
Baltimore Colts 16-7 in Sun-
days Super Bowl classic.
6-ies of "We want Joe” were
soon diminished when it was
learned ihe flamboyant Joe
Namath did not accompany the
team horn''. He and 10 other
Jets players went directly to
Jacksonville, Fla., where they
will play In the American Foot-
ball League all-star game Sa-
turday.
I Wech Ewbank, the portly 61-
1 year-old coach of the amazing
| Jets, led a smiling band of 13
j players and several team coa-
jehes off the plane when it roll-
! ed to stop shortly after 2 p.m.
I EST.
Ewbank Is the only coach to
matermlnd championship teams
in both the American and Na-
tional Football Leagues and
then go on to a Super Bowl
victory. He won NFL titles with
those same Colts In 1938 and
1959.
Grabbed firmly about the
shoulders by grinning Mayor
John Lindsay, who finally had
something to smile about after
a term of political crises,
Ewbank said ’let me enj >y this
moment. I don’t want to talk
about coaching next year. Right
now, this is the happiest mo-
jment of my life.”
Lindsay promised that Na-1
j math and the rest of the Jets |
j will be tendered a formal re-1
j eeption, possibly next week, j
| Other officials regretted there I
j would be no ticker tape parade
l d6wn Broadway, tlv ••C-nyeo i
of Heros,” such as was staged j
for the three moon-cirtling as-
tronauts last week.
The Jets forgot one thing in
their hurried departure for
New York. The Super Bowl tro-
phy w'as left behind and bad to
be sent along on a subsequent
flight. So was the game ball,
which iwill lx' presented to the
American Football L e ague
home office as a symbol of the
AFL finally reaching a class
parity with the NFL.

teams was more encouraging
than Sunday’s Super
triumph.
Hunt admitted that he per-
sonally thought his Kansas City
Chiefs of 1966 and the Oakland
Raiders of 1967 had better
chances against Green Bay hi
the Super Bowl than did the
New York Jet* against the Bal-
timore Colts.
Green Bay beat Kansas City
35-10, and Oakland 33-14. While
the Jets beat Baltimore 16-7.
‘.‘So, that makes me none for
three.” Hunt said jokingly.
“Personally, I felt the exhibi-
tion season was more encour-
aging from our standpoint,"
*aid the man who founded the
AFL when the NFL would not
let him put a franchise In Dal-
las.
“In the Grapefruit League,
we won 13 of 23 game*. A lot
of people didn’t feel this meant
anything, but I felt the AFL
and NFL teams were trying
pretty hard to win those game*.
“Too. Baltimore only beat
Oakland 14-12 In prc-sea*on.”
Hunt said he *tlU thought the
top three AFL teams — New
York, Oakland and Kansas Ci-
ty — were on a par with the
top five In the NFL — Balti-
more, Cleveland, Dallas, Los
Angeles and either Minnesota
or Green Bay.
“And, our bottom three are
about equal to the NFL’s worst
five,” he added without naming
any name*.
Hunt, who saw the game in
person, said It “certainly was
a very exciting day for me,
but I think it was a good day
for football in general.
“It was a step forward,” he
added. "The public likes com-
petition and it had it, I do not
think the game hurt the NFL.
people had rather see a horse
race than Man O’ War against
Humpty Dumpty."
By United Pres* International \ kansas State 92-71; Austin Peay
Kurt Papp shot and rebounded Iused a balanced attack in the
«» T.». Longhorns b„o . la
hit 36 points, leading Wayland
to a 94-75 win over Austin Col-
lege.
Corpus Christ! fell to Bellar-
mine of Kentucky 77-73; Baptist
Christian of Louisiana beat Dal-
las Baptist by a narrow 77-76;
Grumbling tfhipiied Wiley 94-76;
and Sam Houston was edged
out by Cameron State of Okla-
homa 89-85.
,,s And in Beamont, Tex., It
Bowl took the amazing Lamar Tech
Cardinals a single overtime pe-
riod to fight off a 12-point defi-
cit, but they did it and beat the
University of Houston 71-65.
The win ran Lamar’s win total
this season to 13 straight
against no defeats and equalled
a school record.
Texas A&M and Southern
Methodist and Rice and Texas
Christian meet tonight in the
SWC. The Ponies, 2-1 In the
conference, are in a tie for
third place and Texas A&M at
2-6 is tied with Baylor for the
No. 1 slot.
Rice and TCC C-3
Rice 0-2 and TCU 0-3 bring
up the bottom of the pile and
tonight’s game will make it
mighty difficult for the loser
-especially If it’s the Frogs-
to battle back.
Papp had 21 points and 11 re-
bounds to lead the Texas
team, which jumped into a
quick 4-0 lead and never
trailed. James Eldridge hit 25
for the Razorbacks.
Earl Dow scored 23 points to
lead Lamar Tech team and
Jim Nicholson added 19 points.
The victory was the first win
over the University of Houston
in 11 trys.
Two Minute Stall
The Cardinals trailed 54-44
with nine mnuteis to play but
tied the game at 61-61 and stal-
led for nearly two minutes be-
fore missing a last second shot.
Nicholson hit two free throws
and Dow made a field goal to
start the overtime off right for
Lamar and the Cards led the
rest of the way.
Theodis Lee hit 23 points for
Houston, now 10-6 on the sea-
son and facing tough UCLA
this Saturday.

The National Bank of Mexi-

received an almost $60 million
shot in the arm as result of the
Olympic Games held in that
country. Some Mexican* had
criticized the games as being
too cosily for a developing
country. Some San Antonio
people are saying the same
about the recently concluded
KemLsFair in the Alamo City
but some others are saying just
Ihe opposite. The value of an
Olympic Games or a Worlds
Fair can hardly be calculated
in terms of money made or lost
nccoiding to some. The intan-
gible value in terms of publici-
ty can not be summed up like
dollars and cents.

Denny McLain Hails
Joe Namath Triumph
By MILTON ItlCHMAN
NEW YORK 6.'I’D — Denny
McLain, who's had Ills picture
on the front page a couple of
times himself, looked at Joe
Namath’s picture on the front
page and smiled.
“I feel good for him,”
Detroit’s super winner said
about the New York Jets' super-
duper.
“I know how he must feel. I
never met him but from what I
read I like him. He's the same
type of fellow I am. He talks a
lot and people get the wrong
idea about him. It's no crime to
say what you feel, is it? He
backs up everything he says,
too, dosen’t he? You have to
like a guy like that . I think
what lie accomplished down in
Miami was something out of
sight.”
One of those listening to the
Tigers’ 31-game winner at the
Hole! New Yorker, where he
was helping ballyhoo the annual
“I don’t think I’m gonna win
30,” lie spoke right up. "People
forget I had everything going
for me last season. We had a
great ball club and I think we
sporting goods fair, suggested | still have but you never can tell
Namath would make a bundle j, about injuries or things like
of money now in flic wake of j that. All I really care about is
that 36-7 mother of all upsets i winning the pennant again,
over the Baltimore Colts. Chats a big thing. Look, with
j* the kind of ball club we had
i last year any one of our four
i starters could’ve won 30. If we
win the pennant again
Gilbert
Noses Out
Hargett
HOUSTON (UPD — Chris Gil-
bert, the University of Texas
back who gained 1.000 or more
yards each of his three varsity
seasons, nosed out Texas
A&M's Edd Hargett as winner
of the first annual Kern Tips
Memorial Trophy.
The award honors the late
Kern Tips, a Southwest Con-
ference sportscaster for more
than three decades, and is to
be presented by his sponsor
for all of those years, the
Humble Oil & Refining Co.
The presentation will be
made at a private banquet in
Houston Jan. 29.
Sportscasters, sports writers,
sports publicists and confer-
ence officials balloted on the
nominees and Gilbert compiled
321 Vi points to 32014 for Har-
gett, the Aggie quarterback.
The trophy, made of Steuben
glass, recognizes the outstand-
ing player who also excels ac-
ademically, displays good
sportsmanship and high moral
character.
September usually has the
lowest number of deaths, says
the Institute of Life Insur-
No Envy Here
"Good for him,” said McLain,
! displaying not even so much as
1 a cuticle of envy. "He deserves
; everything he gets and whatev-
l cr it is I wish him twice as
j much.”
McLain wondered what the
Jets’ dressing room wras like
following their Super Bowl
spectacular.
“A madhouse," said a guy ,
who had been in It.
“Rougher than ours after we
won?” McLain wanted to know.
"Rougher than yours.”
"Nothing could top our pen- ,
nant celebration,” he insisted
“This did,” the guy said. . I
“Our World Series dressing i
room was nothing, but I still !
say nobody could beat our pen- j
nant celebration,” McLain said, j
next
season I wouldn’t care if I was
7-6, 10-9, or 20-19.”
"Seven-six would tie okay with
you, too?”
Sets Sights On Pennant
“That’s right, If we won,”
! McLain repeated .“My goal Is
! to win the pennant. If the ball
I club has a good year, I'll have
1 one, too. I’m not worried about
that.”
McLain has been on a tough
1 schedule this winter, making
I appearances and playing the
organ, but the grind somehow
hasn’t shown on him at all.
"I’m okay but I was exhaust-
ed last week," ho admitted. "I
went 3 1/2 days without sleep
iu mcuiauun, »«iu. j , . t t
... , ' during one btreten. I leit
■How do you think Namath: ^ m]dnight Monday and
feels today now that he’s had a
little time to think It over?”
Somebody else in the group
inquired of the Detroit right-
hander.
“Well, I know how I felt once
the original shock wore off. You
can’t find words to describe it,
but I realized I couldn’t have :
done what I did without the '
other 24 players. What I wanted
to do was express my feelings to
them, to let my teammates j
know how I felt. I’m pretty j
sure ho (Namath) must feel the
same way.”
The subject swung over to
baseball and naturally there
was the inevitable question:
How many games did McLain
think he’d win next season?
didn’t get to bed again until
Thursday morning. In between
I made stops in Detroit, Sharon,
Pa. Tibion N. Y. and Chicago.
I didn’t mind though. I was
playing the Hammond organ
and I love it.”
McLain suddenly returned
again to football and remem-
mem bered something he had in
common with the Jets’ quarter-
back.
”1 ve got a white mink coat
like be has,” laughed the Tiger
ace.
"Namath’s coat isn’t white
mink,” someone put in. “It's
black seal.
Mcl-aln shrugged.
So who's counting anyway.
