6 JHt NASHVIUEJMErSSEANutidjylanJ 5. 196 7 THURSTON SOUNDS 'HUNGRY' GARRETT CAN GO NAIA Draws Top Entries Bowl Test: Fuzzy Buck KCs IO GISS Elusive Mike Enough. To Hike KC Over Top? JEEP your eyes on Mike Garrett today when Kansas City runs against Green Bay in the Super Bowl at Los Angeles. The 1965 Heisman Trophy winner is the player who turned the American Football League champions into Super Chiefs. He has given the club what it needed all along speed.

Garrett is an explosive, outside runner. He has been likened to Gale Sayers of the NFL Chicago Bears in ex ram Garrett St Adderley citement. He finished the rushing, fcV gaining 801 yards for a I K'byBUD BURNS "I was like the pretty girl nobody called her for a date because everyone presumed she would have one," Garrett said after signing with the Chiefs. lANSAS CITY is much like Dallas in size and style, and even those diehards who give the Chiefs little chance today must recall that the Cowboys gave Green Bay fits before losing in the NFL playoff The Chiefs averaged 32 points per game in winning their divisional title. Their offensive line is bigger than those of most NFL teams.

Defensively, the Chiefs' line is big too Like the Packers, they also have the advantage of experience. Most of the regulars have been around five to seven years. They are one of the biggest teams, physically, in pro football history, and, in this department, hold an edge over the Packers. Remember, too, the Packers have had trouble in the 'past with heavier teams such as the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears Quarterback Len Dawson, the NFL reject who runs the Chiefs' imaginative attack from a dozen different formations, played at Purdue when Stram was assistant coach of the Boilermakers. He was the No.

1 passer in the AFL this season. Team members call him "Lenny The Cool" It will be interesting to see how he fares against Bart Starr, the NFL's top marksman Maybe Joe Namath, who did a bit of educated gu-jsing from his suite in New York's Lenox Hospital, hit it on the head when he commented that "Dawson is a good quarterback, but Starr is great" Dawson's favorite targets are Otis Taylor, Chris Burford and Fred Arbanas. They figure to give the Packers' fine corner backs, Herb Adderley and Bob Jeter, another busy day. Adderley and Jeter did the job on Bob Hayes'in the NFL playoff. But the Chiefs didn't get into the Super Bowl using mirrors.

They, too, are champions with pride. Pro football's most important game could also be one of the most surprising in history. 5.5 average. "Mike is a threat to go all the way if he just gets a little daylight," says coach Hank Stram of his first-year sensation. "He has given us more long runs this season than we have had in several years." Only 5-9 and weighing 195 pounds, Garrett is also distinguished as being the only 20th-round draft choice in professional football history to get a $300,000 contract.

He responded in spectacular fashion and has topped the class in some rookie-of-the-year polls. KANSAS CITY CP) The second annual NAIA indoor track championships here Saturday includes long-time NAIA powers like Southern U. La. and Texas Southern in the team title race. Southern is led by Willie Davenport, one of the world's best hurdlers.

He reached 13.4 in the 120-yard highs last year and set a Municipal Auditorium record of 7.1 for the 60-yard highs in! the NAIA meet here. I Texas Southern has John Hartfield, a consistent 7-foot high jumper with a best leap of. Among the United States entries in the open division are Adolph Plummer, world record I holder in the 440-yard dash, and i Clarence Robinson, 26-9 long. jumper, both of the Albuquer que, N.M., track club; Wichita's, Fred Burton, 16-6 pole vaulter; shot putters Gene Crews, ex- Missouri, and George ex-Southern Illinois; two-miler George Scott of New Mexico andj miler John Camien, ex-EmporiaJ State. I UPI 1 4 I 1 I VHEN Garrett graduated thought he could make Chuck Hurston.

The ability of the Packers' offensive line to protect Starr against Kansas City's front four could be the decisive factor in this first meeting of the champions of the NFL and AFL. When Thurston was talking to newsmen, Willie Davis, a Packer all-league defensive end, walked through the lobby of their training quarters. Davis was not particularly happy about his play in the NFL championship game at Dallas. "If I don't play good in the Super Bowl I can always be a New Orleans Saint," he said with a smile. WHEN THE time comes to stock the new franchise at New Orleans with NFL veterans, the name of Willie Davis will not be on the list not even if he misses the bus to the Super Bov1.

Pirate Links Out To Rob Crosby Pros 1EBBLE BEACH. Calif. UPI Treasure Island's ferocious fighters emerge from the realm of friction to combat golfers seeking the pot of gold this week. BILLY BONES, Capt Smollett, Long John Silver, Israel Hands and the others come to literary life in this Monterey Peninsula from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson. Now the new Spyglass Hill golf course names its holes after Stevenson's characters, and the players in Bing Crosby's 26th National Pro-Amateur tournament starting Thursday must battle this layout during the quest fop $104,500 in prizes.

Spyglass Joins Cypres3 Point and Pebble Beach in the triumvirate of Crosby tests for the pros and their amateur partners who include stars of entertainment, business, professions and other sports. ROBERT; GOULET, Ricky Nelson, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Ray Bolger, Phil Harris, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, John Brodie, Alvin Dark, and Leonard Firestone are among the amateurs. The pro-amateur title last year went to professional Chuck Courtney and his dentist partner, Dr. John Moler with a best ball score of 25S. Crooner Crosby considers the new Spyglass Hill course so touch he has bet Jack Nicklaus did was then Chiefs' super scout Don Klosterman.

But, even Klosterman was reluctant to waste a high draft choice for Garrett. The Chiefs believed he wanted to remain in California, with the Oakland Raiders. There was also talk of a professional baseball career, with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Raiders passed him up because they thought he would sign with the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL. Incidentally, luring Garrett to the Chiefs was Klosterman's final gift to the club.

After being forced to resign in a showdown with Stram, Klosterman became general manager of the Houston Oilers. 1 It I If "rl 1 4. I I 1 small that he will trip over me," he said. "Maybe he won't even see me." Fuzzy who owns a couple of restaurants known as Left Guard in the Green Bay area did a fine job on Bob Lilly, the All-NFL offensive tackle of the Dallas Cowboys in the title game New Year's Day. Lilly and such formidable opponents as Detroit's Roger Brown, 6-5, 300, Los Angeles' Rosey Grier, 6-5, 290, and San Francisco's Roland Lakes, 6-4, 285, will tell you that Thurston is one of the finest pass blockers in pro football.

"The big thing that helps a guard playing one of those giant tackles is Bart Starr." said Thurston. "If you don't know whether a team is going to run or throw, the tackle has to delay his move. We have a great game plan and we have the man in Bart to use it. He really can mix them up. They don't know what he is going to do next." THURSTON IS nearing the end of the trail at the age of 32.

Despite the brilliant promise of rookie Gale Gillingham, a high priced draftee from Minnesota, old Fuzzy- has clung to his first string1 job. When the Packers get into the big pressure games, coach Vince Lombardi likes to go with the men who have been uder the gun. "We really want this one," said Thurston. "We want it badly. This is what we've worked for eight years for Lombardi's reign as coach.

We want to be -the- best. We've got to win it to be the best in football. "You can be sure of one thing the Green Bay Packers will be ready. We've been ready for every game since that first exhibition game under Lombardi in 1959." IT WILL BE up to Thurston, center Bill Curry and guard Jerry Kramer to hold off the middle of the Chiefs' front line while Bob Skoron-ski and Forrest Gregg, the tackles, take care of the rushing ends, Jerry Mays and Bonus Announced For Eagles Coach PHILADELPHIA Joe Kuharich, coach general manager of the Philadelphia Eagles, will receive a bonus for directing the Eagles to a second place tie in the Eastern Division of the National Football League, club' owner Jerry Wolman said yesterday. Wolman, however, wouldn't say what the bonus would be.

(AP) Fuzzy; Thurston is a chunky, outgoing 6-foot-l, 245- pound Green Bay guard who has been blocking monster defensive tackles for 10 years with great success. Fuzzy's big job in today's Super Bowl game will be to keep Kansas City's Buck Buchanan, 6-7, 287, off the back of quarterback Bart Starr.

tt i nfrr; to stop the rugged Japanese. 3 Weekly Drills For Dodgers in LA I IOUSTOX UPI Every major 'college and university in the United States could got a $20,000 paycheck from the proposed NCAA university football playoff, coach Eaile Edwards of North Carolina State said yesterday. EDWARDS, ONE of the staunch proponents of the playoffs, thinks they would bring in $2.5 million in combined gate receipts and television revenue. This would be. enough for $20,000 for each of the 126 schools in the NCAA's University Division.

"This would mean a lot to some of the smaller colleges," he said. "This would be like another home game, maybe two, for some of the schools. Edwards, who said there are different ways the NCAA could handle the disbursement of the money, said ho did not think a playoff team should benefit until it loses. Until then, it should receive only its expenses. IF A PLAYOFF team received a share of every gate, the team which made the finals also would make the most money.

"This playoff is not to make anybody rich," Edwards said. "The winning team will get its rewards in prestige and recruiting." Edwards also said he favored' a lfi-team playoff.
