Tarkenton doesn't have to play football for a living.

His business interests are such that he can spend 12 months a year in Atlanta and live comfortably. He plays football because he loves the game. Some people close to the Vikings have expressed the feeling that the Vikings can't win with a scrambling quarterback like Tarkenton. The Viking players definitely don't feel that way. Fran might oblige his critics.

Some of Tar-kenton's closest friends are willing to wager that No. 10 won't wear a Viking uniform again after the Dec. 18 finale against the Chicago Bears. Viking Schedule: When the mailman delivered the 1966 NFL schedule to Jim Finks at the Viking office last January, the general manager winced when he saw the new Atlanta team was scheduled to invade Met stadium on Dec. 4.

"Once the schedule is made, we don't have a thing to say about it," said Finks. "The schedule is made by Pete Rozelle and the NFL office.

L.f i Adams Honored at Edina Golf Dinner Edina Country Club mem- A new Sno-Bee snow thrower -and flings it 30 feet away! You probably dread the thought of shoveling snow, year after year. Nobody has to tell you it's back-breaking, time-consuming work. The American Medical Association recommends that men over 40 and not in top physical condition shouldn't even try to shovel snow What's the answer? A snow thrower! Not too long ago, self-propelled snow throwers were in their infancy.

Some didn't work as well as others. Not so anymore. Now you can rely on a snow thrower to start in the coldest weather and to dispose of deep, wet snow quickly. They're easy to handle, too. Four points to keep in mind.

There are, however, a few things you should keep in mind when you buy a snow thrower. By so doing, you'll get the best value for your money and avoid future disappointments. 1. Buy one large enough to do your job. There are snow throwers built for smaller jobs like cleaning off steps, and handling light, powdery snow falls.

But don't expect these to tackle the big snow jobs. They're just not rugged enough. Allis-Chalmers makes snow throwers in the four, six and seven horsepower class. One will give you just the right power you need to clear your walk or driveway quickly one time through All are versatile enough to whisk away the powdery, light snows in a jiffy. 2.

Buy a quality brand name. Not every snow thrower is of equal quality. You should look for one made by an established company. Allis-Chalmers, for example, has built its reputation by building heavy, earth-moving construction equipment, farm tractors and suburban lawn and garden tractors. 3.

Look for a dealer with service facilities. Many kinds of stores carry snow throwers. But you have to do a little looking to find one that has good service facilities. And even the best snow thrower you can buy will need servicing from time to time. Allis-Chalmers has many dealers in this area.

I bers honored Jack Adams, Jottings: Chuck Mencel, former Minnesota basketball guard, has been elected a vice president of the Marquette Corporation Lee Wolff, former St. Cloud State lineman, was third in voting for Rookie of the Year honors in the Con the outgoing greens chairman and former president, at a testimonial dinner Monday night.

We also make 10 and 12-horsepower tractors, for people who like to sit while they shovel snow.

These tractors can be equipped with a snow thrower, a snow blade, or more than a dozen other attachments. Your nearby Allis-Chalmers dealer will be glad to demonstrate his full line of snow removal equipment. He can advise you as to which model is best for you, and even arrange easy-term financing.

The old axiom, "you get what you pay for" was never truer. Check the features you get in a Sno-Bee snow thrower. Winterized Briggs Stratton engine. Fingertip controls, grouped for instant access. "Easy-Spin" starting.

Adjustable thrower and snow spout (you can throw snow up to 30 feet away The 4-HP model lets you cut a 23 inch path through the deepest snow. It features three gear positions: forward, neutral and reverse. For more power, and a wider choice of speeds we'd suggest our 6-HP model. It features two speeds forward, and two speeds in reverse. Cuts a 26-inch path.

And for the ultimate in power, speed, versatility and ease of operation, look at the new 7-HP Sno-Bee. Among other features, the 7-HP Sno-Bee operates in two stages: one stage (the auger) chews up any size and the second stage (the impeller fan) spews it out.
