He followed instructions perfectly, charged in to block the soccer-style attempt of Rutgers' John Pesce in the first quarter of yesterday's Jets Win Streak On Line Today By MARTY FISCHBEIN Press Staff Writer HOUSTON, Tex. The New York Jets, with the most potent offense in the American Football Conference, put their two-game winning streak on the line this afternoon when they take on the Houston Oilers in the Astrodome. The National Football League game will be telvised live by WNBC-TV (Channel 4) starting with the 2:05 New York time kickoff.

WOR radio 710 and the Jets Network will also broadcast the game starting with the pre-game show at 1:35. The Jets went through a light workout yesterday afternoon on the Astroturf field of the Astrodome. Quarterback Joe Namath, after one of the greatest passing exhibitions of all time, continued sharp in practice during the week. Namath's 4 yards on 15 of 28 passes propelled the Jets into the top spot in the AFC with an average of 433 yards a game total offense. The club also sports a 296 yards a game passing average, also good enough to top the division statistics.

Namath's quick touchdown tosses to Richard Caster for 80 and 79 yards in the fourth quarter against Baltimore put the Jets defensive unit on the field for 37 Colt plays against only six by the Jets including a punt. Defensive end Gerry Phil-bin was prompted to quip "Joe's got to slow it down. He can't just go out there for two plays and watch us defensive players work."

New York 0 OCEAN TOWNSHIP-Three Boy Scout troops and other youth groups will assist the township Environmental Commission in a survey to determine the feasibility of a newspaper recycling project. Dennis Dombrowiecki, who heads the solid waste committee of the commission (formerly Che Conservation Commission), said the youths will make random surveys throughout the township until Oct. 15 to get the reaction of residents. "We want to get the reaction of the public to our plan to collect newspapers twice a month for recycling purposes," he said.

"Profits from the project could be channeled back to Boy Scout and other activities." Noting that 20 per cent of the garbage and trash collected by township trucks is newspaper, Mr. Dombrowiecki said the paper drive could reduce costs and benefit ecology. "If the newspapers are recycled," he explained, "it will help ait costs at the landfill, where garbage is taken, and also help preserve forests." After the survey, a report will be made to Mayor Joseph A. Palaia and the Township Council early in 103rd renewal of America's oldest intercollegiate rivalry at Palmer Stadium, and that play wound up being the difference as host Princeton earned a come-fronvbehiodi 7-6 triumph. For Pesce, it v.

as a doubly frustrating afternoon. The blocked kick ended his streak of successful conversions at 17. And it all happened in his home town. He's a graduate of Princeton High School. The first half of the game belonged to Rutgers but things were reversed in the second1 as the Tigers roared back to post the tying touchdown with 56 seconds left in the game.

Fullback Howard Baetjer, a junior from Stevenson, filling in for injured regular Bob Harding, crashed over from the two to cap a 54-yard march engineered by quarterback Jim Flynn and kept rolling by Baetjer's hard running. With everything now resting on the extra point play, senior kicker John Bartges calmly booted the ball through the uprights for the winning point. Rutgers started off impressively and marched into the end zone in its second crack at the ball. Tailback Ron Shycko, a junior from East Paterson, carried the last four plays of the 12-play, 66-yard march that took nearly five minutes. The scoring play was a blast over right tackle.

Rutgers muffed big opportunity earlier in the period. Tiger punter Bruce Hennemuth, a sophomore from Bound Brook playing his first varsity game, fumbled the poor snap from center and saw Rutgers' John Witkowski fall on the ball at the Princeton 24. But Princeton got the ball right back a play later when safetyman Jim Stephens intercepted the first-down pass of Scarlet quarterback Leo Gasienica. Hennemuth was in the middle of it again early in the second period. This time the snap sailed clear over his head and into the end zone.

Hennemuth chased the ball, managed to elude two pursuing Rutgers men, and got the kick off and out to the Tiger 38. To cap the play, Rutgers was called for clipping on the return. McCandless later said "that was one of the turning points of the game. For a sophomore. Hennemuth showed a lot of poise under Tcssurc See BLOCKED Page F6 STATISTICS OF THE GAME yards.

However, we will take each game as it comes. "Long Branch is a fine team and should do well this season. We improved vastly over last week although we did the same things, but did them better. "Gene Butler was outstanding both ways. It was truly a team effort and I can not single out any others.
