SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1967 THE ODESSA AMERICAN PAGE 5-B Hulme Seeks World Title NFL Roundup- Z-tTat. 1 i 3 1 For Racing ii LINCOLN, Neb. (UPI) Fourth-ranked Colorado outline Bie Eight conference By United Press International The "spoilers" are itching to scratch the National Football League's last unbeaten record off the books. The Minnesota Vikings, meek and humble of heart until lastjmost productive passing offense hm Mmk they host the Coastal Division leaders. i Baltimore boasts a 4-u-i record after playing the Los Angeles Rams to a 24-24 tie last week.

The Colts also boast the the NFL with Johnny Unitas back at peak form and a five-game winning streak against the Vikings. Minnesota, a 14-point under dog despite the home field advantage, rose from the asnes a four-game losing streak to smite the Packers. The Vikings chief weapon is ball control and strong running attacK. leatur-ing Dave Osborn and Bill Brown. Green Bay, coasting on top of the Central Division with a 3-1-1 mark, is favored by 10 points over explosive New York (3-2), St.

Louis (3-2) is rated two points stronger than Philadelphia (3-2), Los Angeles (3-1-1) has a 13 -point edge on Washington (2-2-1); Dallas (4-1) a seven-point favorite over Pittsburgh (1-4), San Francisco (4-1) is a 15-point pick over winless New Orleans (0-5), Chicago (2-3) is a six-point underdog to Cleveland (3-2) and De.troit 11 is conided 2 points better than Atlanta (0-4-1). The Colts prefer to travel by air and Unitas has been superb date, connecting on 60.3 per cent of his passes for a league- leading total of 1458 yards and nine touchdowns, unitas wno last week passed Y.A. Tittle's pro mark lor most career attempts, can best Tittle's completion record with just eight more this week. He currently has 2,111 while the record is 2,118. Defensive end Ordell Braase, tackle Jim Parker and receiver Ray Berry all are doubtful for the game.

The Packers, making their first appearance in New York since winning the 1962 title game, will throw a stout defense and sick offense at the revitalized Giants, whom Fran Tarkenton has nursed back to health. The big question mark for Green Bay is Bart Starr, who week, earned the role of spoilers in the NFL by inflicting 10-7 defeat on the Green Bay Packers, thereby knocking the defending world champions irom tne unaeteated ranks That left the Baltimore Colts as the only unblemished team in the league and the Vikings hope to alter that this Sunday when Rodger Bird, Willie Brown and Dave Grayson take care of the pass defense They couldn't cause Parilli much more trouble than Houston's secondary gave New York's Namath last week. The Oilers intercepted six passes three of them" by Miller Farr in a 28-28 tie against the Jets. Kenney Houston, a rookie safetyman, scored two touchdowns, one on an interception and the other when he recov ered a blocked field goal, as the Oilers' defense scored three times and set up the other TD. The pesky Houston secondary could mean trouble for Kansas City's Len Dawson, who still leads the league in passing.

The Chiefs lost at San Diego 45-31 last week. Beathard, traded to Houston by Kansas City two weeks ago, played three quarters against tne Jets and may go all the way for the Oilers against his ex- mates. After his nightmarish came against Houston, Namath prob- ably is looking forward seeing Miami again.

Tennessee rolled to 24-7 lead before Alabama scored a consolation TD in the final period. The Tide scored on Kenny Stabler's eight-yard run and a one-yard plunge by Ed Morgan. But stabler had five passes intercepted.

Wyche hit eight of 14 passes attempts for 79 yards. His favorite target was Fleet Richmond Flowers. Flowers, son of Alabama former attorney general, hauled in six passes for 57 yards. It caused quite a controversy in Alabama when Flowers spurned offers to attend Alabama and enrolled at Tennessee.

He received valuable assistance from George Kemp and Jim Carter whose running loosened the Spartan defense for Wilson's aerials. It was Minnesota's second conference victory and Michi gan State's first loss in the Bis Ten since the 1964 season finale to Illinois. By BUZ HUDGINS American Sports Staff A WORLD OF INTERESTING information and "trivia? cross the outdoor writer's desk each week. While a great deal of what arrived this week is trivia, most is also interesting. It seems that fish in the coastal bend area have been biting ever since Hurricane Beulah went booming through the gulf.

Obviously, fishermen are happy, but can't seem to just accept it. They keep asking "why?" One Fish and Wildlife Department official explains that "fish always bite well after a storm and there are probably many causes." E. G. Simmons, Regional Coastal Fisheries Supervisor adds: "They also bite after a sudden temperature change or a sudden drop in water salanity. It is quite possible that the action of the waves have scoured out whole sections of the bottom revealing new feeding grounds." BLACK BASS will feed wherever food can be found according to Simmons in another fish story.

On a recent inspection trip to storm-torn South Texas, Simmons was driving his car along a flooded farm-to-market road between Rio Hondo and Los Fresnos. The water was from two to ten inches deep on the road and he had stopped to watch crayfish being washed across the road by the swift water. To his surprise he saw fish feeding on the "crawdeds." He found, on further investigation, that the fish were black bass. "about one to three pounds." Would you believe his rod and. reel were hanging in the garage at home.

They were! NEW MEXICO may be one of the few states, to keep politics (at least to some degree) out of hunting and fishing. In many states the legislators set seasons and bag limits for hunters and fishermen. According to Ladd, Gordon, Director of the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, "the State -Game Commission in this state has had the power, for nearly 40 years, to set the seasons and bag limits on game and fish of this state." (It's obvious that this wouldn't be the case of the Game Commission hadn't been doing such a good job for the many years in which they have been running the show.) DEER CENSUS takes plenty of extra-heavy shoe leather in the 22-county Edwards Plateau. The census-takers walk about 1,360 miles in this area and this year had to make the walk twice because it was later determined that some activity such as livestock roundups, unfavorable-weather developments and other ranch activity, could have affected the first tallies. (Make me wonder if the deer reported for the second head count first, for that matter.) -k A CALL FROM Oak Creek lake informed of several good catches there this week.

Ed Bias of Odessa put together a string of 12 channel cat up to four pounds and the W. W. Orr family of Midland caught 14 channel cat on live shad. THE RESEARCH and planning division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in Austin recently released a list of 25 facts concerning the 61 State Parks. Here are some that may be of interest to you: three of the parks have been purchased by the state and the other 58 have been donated or leased; state parks contain only 17 square feet of land per Texas resident; Texas is five and a half times larger than New York state and yet New York has" seven times the amount of state park land; and the state's park system would be equal to the national average of 30.7 acres of state park land per thousand people of 7,500,000 Texans would move to other states.

"LITERARY" SCRAPS delivered to the outdoor desk indicate that hunters and fishermen leave only five per cent of the litter in rural areas while picknickers leave 25 per cent and passing motorists contribute 70 per cent. Thirteen states report land being closed to hunters because of littering. In Alaska alone, 20 public areas have been closed. Beer cans and bottles top the list of trash. Although it's only helping a little, at least one brewer is trying to do something about it.

The Coors Brewery in Colorado offers a penny for every one of its throw-away bottles or can brought back. Kids are making spending money gathering up beer containers (just like we did years ago returning. milk bottles whatever those are!) AND IN CLOSING it oughta happen to a dog! Mr. and Mrs. Loyd Dubroff and their Siamese, tomcat, who were moving to California, were taking a vacation, and en route stopped at Bastrop State Park.

Here, Tom became involved in a summer romance, and he wasn't aiound when the Dubroffs left. They left word for park officials to look for him. Two days later they found the petigreed Romeo, a wiser, but not sadder tomcat. The Dubroffs could not be contacted until their arrival date in their new home. Tom became the guest of Park Superintendent-Burton Adams, whose family pets already consisted of a pair of flying squirrels and two Sheltie dbgs.

in addition to his regula? duties, Adams spent an interesting week keeping Tom from the squirrels, the dogs from Tom, and Tom from the local feline emme atales. Once the family arrived at their new home, Tom was shipped air freight to hid loving masters. It turned out fine. The park people felt good about helping a visitor; the bloodlines of the Bastrop County cat population had been improved; and Tom did not have to ride all the way to California in a hot car. hasn't played the last two toleanrc oiuienug nana ana shoulder injuries but has been throwing Li practice all week, he isn't ready, Bratkowski will phins, he passed for 415 yards start in his Tarkenton has moved the Giants into first place in total offense and into a three-way tie at the top of the Century Division with his daring style of play.

Norm bnead league-leading MEXICO CITY (UPI)-A one sided duel between a cool New Zealander and the aging dean of urana wix drivers Sunday decides who gets to wear the crown of best racing driver in the world for 1967. Twenty two cars scream away from the starting line in the 200-mile Grand Prix of; Mexico, final event of the Formula One season. The race is marked by the return of the French, who started it all around the turn of the century, to Grand Prix competition, and the return of Mexico hometown hero, Ped ro Rodriguez, driving on a still not-quite-mended broken ankle. Like the flesh-and-blood ath letes in the pre-Olympic Games going into their second week here Sunday, the "Steel Ath letes'the powerful, temper amental formula One cars- had their troubles adjusting to tne thin air at Mexico Citv ,349 toot altitude. The world driver's champion ship will be decided between Denis Hulme of New Zealand in his 340-horsepower Brabham- Repco V-8, and Jack Brabham of Australia driving the same type of car, which he designed ine odds are against the 43 year-old Brabham, three-time champion and winner of the crown last year.

Diew up my engine practice Friday, and although I have a spare, it's a real job getting it installed and tuned up tor tne race, ne said. The overall championship is decided on points earned in all 11 races and Hulme has a commanding lead. Scotland's Jim Clark, who blazed so spectacularly across the Grand Prix circuit a few seasons ago, was in third place overall. He had some troubles with his Lotus Ford, which ailed to finish five races this year. Dan Gurney, who carries the U.S.

flag alone in the European- dominated Grand Pnx driving with his V-12 American Eagle, said this year marks the end of the break-in period. Gurney, of Corona Del Mar, was in eighth place overall. The big problem on setting-up day, Friday, as usual in Mexico City, is the thin air which knocks about 20 per cent off an auto power. Also competing against the heaviest odds of all is Jean-Pierre Beltroise in the Matra- marking the return of the sky- blue French racing cars to Grand Prix competition after a 12-year absence.

The Buffaloes, led oy me brilliant field generalship or sophomore quarterback Bob Anderson and an opportunistic defense, scored all three of their touchdowns as the result of Nebraska miscues two on pass interceptions and another on a costly fourth down tumDie.

It was also a fumoie witn three minutes remaining which cost Nebraska the possibility of a stunntna comeback. The Cornhuskers drove from mid-field to the Colorado 13 before halfback Joe Orduna tossed up the ball on an end sweep after a vicious tackle and Colorado's Kerry Mottl recovered. The winning margin was supplied by reserve defensive halfback Jeff Raymond on a sensational 76-yard return of a theft of a Nebraska pass as the Cornhuskers were driving relentlessly toward the Buffalo goal line. The other Colorado touch downs came on a six-yard slant by tailback Larry Plantz early in the second quarter after Nebraska fumbled on a fourth, down and one situation at the Colorado 29; and a make-shift razzle-dazzle play covering 70 yards. The latter started out with an interception by Colorado safety Dick Anderson at the Nebraska 30.

He raced 15 yards upheld, saw he was trapped, and! quickly pitched back to defen sive end Mike Veeder who galloped the remaining distance for the score. Nebraska, a five-point under dog, opened the scoring in the first quarter on a 17-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Frank Patrick to halfback Ben Gregory. The drive covered 43 yards and was also set up by a fumble recovery. The huskers rallied early in the second half of a 27-yard touchdown run by Orduna, climaxing an 80 -yard march. But the extra point attempt by Bill Bomberger was blocked, giving the Buffaloes a 14-13 edge.

i ODESSA LINEBACKER -Bill Hicks is a linebacker on the Eastern New Mexico University Greyhound football team. The 6-1, 185-pound squad member is a freshman. AFL Roundup- By The Associated Press There's nothing like a little youthful competition to revive a 37-year-old quarterback. Just look at Babe Panlli. Boston was in the final stages of a completing a trade with Houston for young Don Trull last Sunday when Parilli explod ed for five touchdown passes and led the Potriots to a 41-10 romp over Miami.

So the Babe, in his 14th professional football season, will be at the controls again Sunday when the Patriots face the invading Oakland Raiders. And Trull. 26, can sit next to John Huarte, 23, waiting for Parilli to grow old. A victory would square Bos ton's record at 3 3-1 after three straight losses at the start of the season. Oakland is 4-1 and trails first place San Diego by one half game in the AFL's.

Parilli completed 13 of 20 for. 281 yards against the Dolphins and the five touchdowns gave him 14 for the season tops among AFL quarterbacks. He has earned 1,314 yaras, second only to New York's Joe Namath's 1,428, but he has been intercepted a league-leading 14 times and that could be a prob lem against Oakland's stingy secondary.

The Raiders, who beat Buffalo 24-20 last week, have allowed only 554 yards through the air and lead the AFL in pass defense. On the ground, Oakland has given up only 395 yards also a league leading figure.
