Final 3 Sections 20C Single Copy Lowar price tor home delivery Tarkenton breaks ankle, is out for year Pact reached in dock strike By Sid Hart nun Staff Writer The championship hopes of the Minnesota Vikings suffered a serious blow Sunday when veteran quarterback Fran Tarkenton broke a bone in his right ankle In the 42-10 victory over Cincinnati. Tarkenton, who was taken to Mid-way Hospital after being sacked by Bengal defensive end Gary Bur-ley, will be out for the remainder of the season, and he indicated last night that he has played his last pro football game. The 37-year-old quarterback was enjoying one of his greatest days and had completed 17 of 18 passes when be was injured with 3:41 left to play in the third quarter and the ion 'rteSfciif) Tg? 1 fl 3-4 m- MCjr did continue to play Sunday." Tarkenton had thrown for 195 yards, including a touchdown pass to Chuck Foreman, and had led scoring drives of 87, 86 and 66 yards before he left the game. He completed 11 straight passes before his only incompietion.

On that lay, he was rushed, threw the all away and was penalized for intentional grounding. Tarkenton, who had never missed a game because of an injury until he hurt his elbow against Detroit gama two years ago, said he was fortunate that he had not been hurt earlier In his career. 1 "I knew it was bad for sure when Dr. Lannin told me after the x-rays were taken that 'it's not bad, it's not good, it's like the break Tarkenton continued on page 7A United Press International Tarkenton was wheeled to a waiting ambulance. staff to former Gov.

Originally, NeppI planned to aliow only Quie to deliver a formal address at the convention, the stated reason being that time was short but that Quie deserved this honor because he represents the congressional district that played host to the convention.

With alternate quarterback Bob Lee not in uniform after breaking a bone in his right hand two weeks ago, rookie Tommy Kramer came in to throw a touchdown pass to Brent McClanahan and lead the Vikings to two other fourth-quarter scores. (Other accounts, pictures In sports section.) Earlier in the game, Tarkenton had broken a bone in his right thumb, which he didn't discover until he entered the hospital to have x-rays taken of his leg. Dr.

Don Lannin, the Vikings' physician, reported that Tarkenton fractured the fibula at the right ankle. "There isn't any chance of Tarkenton playing any more this year," said Lannin. "The injury to the ankle came on an audible that somebody didn't pick up," Tarkenton said last night. "I got hung up with the ball and I tried to go down with it and take the loss. As I was going down, one of their defensive players (Burley) jumped on me.

It wasn't a dirty play. The force of his weight made me turn my ankle. I heard the pop and knew it was broken immediately. As a result, I didn't try to get off the field on my own. "I had broken my thumb earlier In the game when I jammed It on somebody's helmet.

I don't know if I could have played with the thumb next week even though I c2l Analysis came to a close Sunday, even some of Quie's strongest supporters were willing to concede that their strategy had failed and that the 1978 gubernatorial endorsement is not quite "locked up" for their candidate. The main reason is that David Durenberger, a little-known attorney from Minneapolis, refuses to accept the notion that the endorsement of Quie, one of the IR Party's few proven winners, is a foregone conclusion.

North Atlantic shipping employers and striking longshoremen reached agreement Sunday on a three-year contract that is expected to end a 44-day dock strike on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

A spokesman for the longshoremen indicated that they may be back at work by next weekend. The pact, which is subject to membership approval, provides for a Job security program and for wage and benefit increases totaling $3.31 an hour, or 30 percent, over the term of the contract. The wage settlement was substantially more than the amount pro- posed by the employers last Friday. It provides for an increase of 80 cents an hour retroactive to June 1 for the first year of a contract beginning Oct. 1, 80 cents in the second year and 80 cents in the third.

Those increases would raise the hourly wage from $8 to $10.40 an hour at the start of the third year. The which centered on container-ship operations, has resulted in losses of millions of dollars for ocean carriers, stevedoring companies, marine terminal operators and for the longshoremen. Importers of goods ranging from toys and women's apparel from Hong Kong to Christmas ornaments from Europe suffered serious delays in deliveries. Puerto Rico, which imports most of its food and essential supplies from the United States, has been facing increasingly serious shortages and higher prices for cargoes brought in by air. Industry sources predicted that much of the backlog in shipments could be cleared up In 10 days to two weeks after the walkout ends.

But Importers and exporters were doubtful that many of their stalled deliveries would move for weeks. Thomas Cleason, president of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), said he hoped it would be possible to inform longshoremen of details of the agreement and have a ratification vote by Friday. "It would be nice to get the men back to work on Saturday and Sunday," he said, referring to time-and-a-half pay for work on weekends. The agreement reached yesterday was between the ILA and the New York Shipping Association and the Council of North Atlantic Shipping Associations.

Because of the rapid deterioration in Somali-Soviet relations the last several months, the moves were not entirely unexpected. However, diplomats were surprised by the broad sweep of the measures, comparable to the eviction of Russian advisers by Egypt in 1972. (Russ left in unstable position In Horn. Page 5A.)

At the start of the Minnesota Independent-Republican convention this weekend, party activists backing U.S.

Rep. Al Quie for the IR gubernatorial endorsement had one goal. That goal to blow the other IR gubernatorial candidates out of the water before they got their feet wet, thereby permitting the First District congressman to spend all of his time preparing to do battle with DFL incumbent Rudy Per-pich. But as the off-year convention of "all facilities enjoyed by the Soviet Union on land and sea," Mogadishu renounced a treaty of friendship and cooperation that was signed with the Soviet Union in 1974. Somalia also ordered Moscow to reduce the size of its 26-member embassy in Mogadishu and reduced the size of the Somali mission in Moscow.

Cuban diplomats were given 48 hours to leave the country. But speeds inched back upward to an average of 56.6 miles per hour for the most recent checks in July through September. "That's our worst quarter because we have so many out-of-state people," said State Patrol Col. James Crawford. All speed checks are made in daytime on straight sections of trunk highways under good driving conditions.

The department also checks to see what percentage of drivertare driving faster than 55. By John Darnton New York Times Service Nairobi, Kenya Somalia ordered all Soviet advisers to leave within seven days, ended Soviet use of naval facilities on the Indian Ocean and broke diplomatic relations with Cuba Sunday.

But they're still not traveling slowly enough to suit Gov. Rudy Perpich, who ordered strict enforcement of the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit last Feb. 1.

Speed checks made by the stale Department of Transportation in-dicae that Minnesotans heeded Perpich's dictum for a few months to drive more slowly, but have allowed their speeds to creep upward since. The department's tests found an average highway speed of 57.3 miles per hour for the last three months of 1976. On Feb. 1, one month after the next quarterly checking period began, Perpich ordered the speeding crackdown. The department recorded an average speed of 55 5 miles per hour for that quarter.

-4 This dropped from 65.3 percent for the last three months of last year to 47.6 percent immediately after the crackdown. But it climbed to 58 percent in the July-September period. "Looking at it realistically, it's not too bad, said Crawford. There's no evidence to show conclusively whether speeds are lower because the state patrol is enforcing the law more strictly or Speeders continued on page 7A.
