LlUx But Tops Aussie In Rugged Match All the Oakland Raiders expect to be "up" for tomorrow' afternoon's big game at the Coliseum here against -the Los Angeles Chargers, but three of the Oaklanders are pointing for the game for personal reasons.

Fullback Jim (Jetstream) Smith, linebacker Riley Morris and flanker back Bill Reynolds were all cut from the Charger club early in the season. Naturally, the three would like to "come back and haant the Chargers," as the saying goes, and tomorrow would be the most opportune time so far as the Raiders are concerned. A victory over the Chargers would put the Raiders into a first-place tie with L.A. for the American League's Western Division lead. Reynolds, particularly, feels the Chargers, treated him shabbily, "It's not so much that they cut me," Billy explains, "but the day before put me on waivers I checked with coach Sid Gfllman on my status.

I wanted to know if it would be wise for me to bring my family out West. Sid told me, 'Sure, Bill, bring 'em out, and then the next day I on waivers. Shortly after putting Mor ris and Smith on waivers Gillman figured he had made a mistake and he tried to re call both players. Raider general manager C. (Chet) Soda battled for both players and, even though Los Angeles carried the fight to the commission er, Oakland got full rights to both men.

has been a big snr prise to the Raiders in their amazing drive toward the top of the Western Division. Just 21 years old, Riley has improved in every game as a corner line backer and against Buffalo two weeks ago led a defense which kept the Bills scoreless until the final 30 seconds of the game. Riley, in the words of Raider coach Eddie Erdelatz, "just loves to knock people down on that field." Jetstream is a 225-pound fullback with sprinter's speed who has been instrumental in a couple of Raider victories. Once he gets up a head of steam The Jet is a tough man to haul down, and he bangs hard on shots up the middle. Reynolds hasn't played too much since joining the club some five weeks ago, but he has seen more action each game and will probably see considerable service tomorrow against his old mates.

But in the topsy-turvy world of pro football anything can and often does happen, so the 49ers are prepared to accomplish the seemingly If they do, it will be by full application of ability and extreme mental alertness, for the Colts clearly hold the edge to manpower.

In the three games that have intervened since the 49exs last won in Baltimore, 20-17, the 49ers have been on the verge of taming the Steeds twice, only to get thrown at the last minute. On the third occasion, last season, the Colts kicked the West Coast club aroujadr4544.

In 1958 the Colts needed a over the 49ers to cinch their first division crown, something that still eludes the 49ers. The 49ers appar ently had them halted with a 27-7 halftime lead. Again they blew it, 35-27.
