The Chiefs also added to their post-season earnings by taking the $15,000 top prize by beating Minnesota in the Super Bowl. The losing Oakland Raiders (from the AFL title duel) will receive $6,326.69 each Edward J. Daly, an Oakland, airline executive, may :4 a2Ue MH3S9 nothing but win, doesn't buy the size argument. "I don't think a guy is ever too little," he said. "He might not be good enough, but not i because of size.

They talk about those 'little' Kansas City backs. Mike Garrett is only 5-9 he's short, but not little. The same goes for Robert Holmes, who at 5-9 weighs 220. They're strong. So is Herron and they have a low center of 1 gravity which helps in this i game." i Rodgers is a well respected name around Falcon headquarters.

After all, he recommended defensive end John Zook, one of his Jayhawks, to Van Brocklin. And the Falcons selected two of his players this week, defensive back Jim Hatcher (10th) and placekicker Bill Bell (17th). "Hatcher's is a' most unusual story," said Rodgers. "He was a high school dropout walking the until his high school coach got him to go to Hancock Junior College. From there, he joined us and turned out to be quite a defensive back.

Only thing against him is his age 25." DRAFTY NOTES: Southeastern Conference coaches are still scratching their heads over their lack of pro prospects. Neither tight end. Dennis Hughes nor guard Steve Greer of Georgia was picked among the 442 players. Nor was a single Alabama player, including all-America guard Alvin Samples Team officials were getting a little punchy near the end.

Nicklaus' round, remarkable enough by itself, was even more outstanding in that he encountered some trouble with his swing and did some experimenting as he went along. "I had some trouble with my shoulder turn, starting about my fourth hole," Nicklaus said. "It continued for about eight holes before I got it worked out. "It's very gratifying to be able to work yourself out of trouble and still score well."

The group at 68 listed rookie John Miller, Gene Littler, Bobby Nichols, Don Massengale, Paul Moran and Terry Dill. Reigning masters champion George Archer had a 69, but some of the other leading names in the game had their troubles, particularly PGA champ Ray Floyd. He had a 75, including four penalty strokes for an extra club in his bag. Frank Berad, last year's leading money winner, Billy Casper and Lee Trevino all took 71's, well back. Dave Hill had a 73 and Bert Yancey, winner at Pebble Beach last week, struggled in with a 77.

Under, terms of a merger agreement between the two announced Dec.

30, 1968, LoPatin and ARI bought 18 per cent of the common stock with an option to purchase a controlling interest of 52 per cent. In exchange, Atlanta received a $1,000,000 loan. Atlanta officials will try and prevent LoPatin from exercising his option or failing in that, they will try to prevent him from using money made by the local track to bolster sagging financial interests elsewhere. This sudden turn of events was brought on by Thursday's announcement that STP and ARI would not merge, as announced earlier in the week. Some local stockholders now fear that LoPatin will seek to solve his financial difficulties by gaining control of Atlanta, the only one of has four tracks which made money last year.
