Super Bowl Will
Decide ‘It All’
By DfCR JOYCE
OTI Sports Writer
Ask the American Football
League fan and he’ll say, "It
-shows wa’va caught up.”
Talk to the National Football
League fan and he’ll say, exhi-
bitions don’t mean a thing.”
Of course, the Super Bowl de-
cides It all as In Its initial meet-
ing of toe two league cham-
pions last season when the
Green Bay Packers, of the 46-
yeax-old NFL beat the seven-
. year-old AFL's Kansas City, 35-
JO. But then again, the AFL
hacker says, "one game doesn’t
-prove a thing.”
In Saturday nights other ex-
hibition action, the Philadelphia
Eagles downed the Cleveland
Browns, 28-13, Kansas City
routed the Houston Oilers, 24-9,
the Oakland Raiders nipped the
San Diego Chargers, 24-23, and
the Miami Dolphins tripped the
Buffalo Bills, 10-7.
Denver, which finished in last
place In the AFL’s Western Di-
vision with a 4-10 record last
season, thus scored the first
AFL victory over a rival NFL
team.
Cookie Gilchrist scored the
Broncos’ second period TD on
a one-yard run after Bob Scar-
pito had set it up wth a 28-yard
taunt following a fake punt Er-
rol Mann kicked 35 and 32-yard
field goals for the rest of Den-
ver's points.
Detroit tallied on Milt Plum’s

tryihg again and created a tie
with Senders.

I very nearly made headlines
Saturday morning. Driving to
work in nature’s fog and my
own I almost ran down a po-
liceman who was walking by
the side of the road near Bar-
field's Meat Company. He was
searching for clues to one of
the recent burglaries and really
startled me when he loomed up
out of the fog.
The Pan American Games
ended Sunday in Winnipeg, Ca-
nada, and the United States do-
minated the competition win-
ning 120 gold medals through
Saturday. The next games are
scheduled to be held in Call,
Colombia in 1971. The games in
Canada were the fifth to be
held. The first four were held
In Argentina, Mexico City, Chi-
cago and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Rumor Is that Mrs. BID The-
din and Mrs. Fred Moore have
become avid fishermen or fish-
erwomen. A friend of theirs re-
ports the pair go fishing at least
twice a week and always come
home with a good catch. Said
friend also reports they use
“stink” bait (whatever that is)
and are beginning to smell like
their bait. Did I say a friend?
Good news came to the Perez
family today in regard to the
condition of Sgt Dickie Perez
who was wounded in Viet Nam.
Dickie has been taken off the
seriously ill list and is presum-
ed recovering. Dickie is still
hospitalized in that country and
no indication was given toe fa-
mily as to when he will he mov-
ed stateside.
The Cuero Turkey Trotters
baseball nine found Cestohowa
all right and Just might wish
they hadn’t Cestohowa defeat-
ed the Trotters 7-4 in Sunday’s
game in that community. Trot-
ter Manager Manuel Hopkins
said today that as of this morn-
ing. no further games have
been hooked by the Trotters.

Cumberland
Would Like
To Hit Top r
By United Press International
John Cumberland, whose tra-
vel* have taken him from
coast to coast, now would like
to make the jump from the bot-
tom Class A Northwest League
to the top in one season
Cumberland, a native of Port-
land, Maine, and possessor of a
4-1 record with Eugene, Ore.,
last year, may have created his
formula for instant advance-
ment to the major leagues Sun-
day when he pitched a one-hit-
ter as Syracuse defeated Tole-
do 5-0 in the first game of an
International League double
header. .
The 5-11, 190-pound southpaw, I
Just 20 years old. had a no-hlt-j
ter going until Wayne Redmond
spoiled the bid with a lead-off
single in the ninth Inning. Red-
mond was immediately reased
in a double play as Cumberland
settled down to retire the side
striking out six and winning hi*
fourth game in nine decision*
Toledo bounced back to take!
the nightcap 4-1 in 13 Innings.
Rochester remained a game
in front of Richmond a* they
split in their respective dcwble-
headers.
The league-leading Red Wings
bowed to Columbus 2-1 in the
opener and then shut out the
Jets 6-0. Toronto edged Rich-
mond 2-1. but the Brave* re-
fumed in the second game with
a 5-3 victory.
Chuck Estrada won his sixth
game for Jacksonville and mov-
ed the Suns into a fifth place
tie with Columbus by beating
Buffalo 5-1. A two-run homer in
the first inning by Johnny Lew-
is was the key blow in Estra-
da's victory. It was Lewis’ se-
venth of the sesson.
The home run output was
slim in the International
League s seven games with on-
ly three others besides Lewis
hitting for the distance. Arlo
Bruns berg hit his fourth homer
of the year for Toledo and Tom
Shopay clouted his sixth for Sy-
j racuse in the second gam# of
their doublehesdcr. Jackie
Moore of Toronto hit his third
of the season.

Kathy Whitworth Wins 2nd Carling Open Meet
COLUMBUS (LTD Kathy Whit-
worth had $3,975 In top prize
money as the winner of her se-
cond iAdy Carling Open in
three years today to calm her
nerves.
She shot her third straight
sub-par round, a one-under 71,
Sunday to complete the three-
day tourney with a 54-hole total
back nine in a head-to-head
duel with Miss Whitworth and
closed with a 73 and s 215 total
for third place.
The 28 year-old Texan, only
one of 51 women pros side to
beat par every day on the
tricky 6,300 yard Walnut Hill
of 212, beat back all-time PGA
money winner Mickey Wright,
then put down a late charge by
Oklahoma's Suzie Maxwell.
Miss Maxwell came out run-
nerup for the second straight
runnerup for the second straight
year with a closing 71, only a i u j

Miss Wright faltered on the the lend early Sunday when and another one at the 13th-
Miss Maxwell birdied the first
and third holes to go four-un-
der.
But the 36-year-old three-put
ted on the eighth and ninth
greens to the advantage and
Miss Whitworth rallied from a
two-shot deficit with a 19-foot

At Astrodome
Ellis, Spencer Win
Fight Crowd Plaudits
HOUSTON (UPC - Neither
one of them probably could
last very long in the ring with
deposed heavyweight champion
Cassius Clay, but if either Jim-
my Ellis or Thad Spencer
should win the current search
for a title successor they sure-
ly would be crowd-pleasers.
Both Ellis and Spencer earn-
ed the plaudits of a slim crowd
of 13,946 in the Astrodome last
Saturday afternoon by the way
they won their first round bouts
in the elimination tournament
to determine a new champion.
Clay, currently defrocked be-
cause he is under conviction
for refusal to accept induction
into the armed forces, wasn’t
among the crowd, which paid
$92,560 to see the fights in per-
son. However, he surely must
have been one of the millions
on seven continents who saw
them on television.
Bloody Pulp
Ellis ripped and tore game
Leotis Martin’s face into a
bloody pulp for a technical
knockout at 1:43 of the ninth
round In the opening match.
Spencer’s 12-round distance
decision over highly-favored
Ernie Terrell wasn't nearly so
bloody nor nearly as pleasing to
the crowd. In fact, it was merit-
ed by almost constant booh g.
But, the boos were aimed at
Terrell, whose tow blows, rab-
bit punching, holding and «v-
enutal wobbly back-pedaling
more than offset the seven-ineh
reach advantage he held and
used In spiling up a slim point
edger over Spenced for nine
rounds.
The fouling finally caught up
with Terrell and referee Jimmy
Webb penalized the six-foot, six-
inch Terrel two points in the
10th round for the flagrant vio-
lations.
Beginning Of End
That was the beginning of the
end. he lost the last three
rounds by overwhelming mar-
gin* and the decision was una-
nimous that Spencer deserved
the victory.
Spencer had decked Terrell
for a two-count knockdown in
the second round and he had
taken the constant left Jabbing
by Terrell through the earlier
rounds and kept wading inside
to deliver stinging lefts to the
body to keep toe bout close an
points.
The fans didn't know ft, but
the unemotional Spencer had
been in increasing pain since
the third round when one ef
Terrell's low blows had caught
him high on the hip
"It hurt then” Spencer said
later, "and by the eighth round
I was stifflegged.”
