1 1 TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1969 SUN-DEMOCRAT. PADUCAH. KY. PAGE THIRTEEN Bowl Victory etg Still In Orbit After Super 4 By PAUL HANSELL ft 4 Ewbank continued as he asked a member of the Jets staff to get his bags. "He has been up all week.

Perhaps he saw the dollar sign ($15,000 to each winning player) in front of him but he also knew he didn't have to save his aching leg for another game." Ewbank pointed out that Snell was so determined to get a few inches more each time he carried the ball thjat he put his head down and barrelled his way into the Colts line. "I told him to keep his head up for fear of injury," he said. "Boozer (Emerson) did get hurt a little when he went into the line with his head down." to admit I got a little more satisfaction out of this one. They called our 1958 game with the New York Giants the greatest since we won in overtime. But now this is No.

1 in my book. "All of my players were great-Philbln, Sauer, Herman Snell, Maynard, of course Na-math and all the others. I had a hard time convincing people that Philbin and Herman were topflight players. They came through. I always have said that Sauer was a fast Ramond Berry and he showed it again.

"Berry ws the Colts great end when they won the two successive championships. "You know I almost started departed for their homes in various parts of the county. For eight of the champions there will be another game next Sunday in Jacksonville, American Football League's All-Star game. Jets picked to play in this game are quarterback Joe Na-math, who steered the AFL champions to victory Sunday with what coach Weeb Ewbank called a perfect game. George Sauer, who caught eight of Na-math's 17 completed aerials, Don Maynard, a decoy most of the game, Gerry Philbin and Verlin Biggs, two members of the star front line defensive corps, Dave.

Herman and Win Bake Turner in place of Maynard," Ewbank continued. "He has been nursing a sore leg. But I came to. the conclusion that the threat of Maynard would open up things for Sauer and it did." Maynard who broke Berry's pro football record for yards gained as a pass receiver, didn't catch a single Namath aerial. Ewbanks watched the game for the second time on tevelision at midnight.

"And would you believe it," he quipped, "the: result was the same. The boys played as good the second time as they did the first time." "Snell always has been the complete player in my opinion," Ewbank, anxious to get back home to nurse a leg injured in a post-game celebration after winning the AFL title two weeks ago, held a brief press conference before the team left its For Lauderdale headquarters. "I'm going right out to Shea Stadium and get into a whirlpool," said Ewbank. "The leg is some better this morning but it still pains. I have told all of the coaches to report next Friday to start working on the draft.

The draft will be held in New York Jan. 28. "Just like 10 years ago," said the rotund coach referring to his 1958-59 NFL triumphs with the Colts. "But guess I would have ston Hill, largely responsible for opening up the holes that permitted fullback Matt Snell to gain 121 yards in 31 carries and Jim Turner, whose three field goals accounted for nine points. Snell didn't receive a single vote for the All-Star squad.

And the 220-pound Ohio State graduate was not abashed at letting one and all know about it. "You guys spent all week telling us how great they areTom Matte and Jerry Hill," said Snell in the dressing room after the game. "Now go talk to them." Matte picked up lift yards in 11 carries, 58 of them with one run. Hill gained 29 Jn nine attempts. MIAMI (AP)-The New' York Jets were still in orbit Monday as they departed the scene of their, stunning 16-7 upset victory over Baltimore in the Super Bowl which won them professional football's world title.

The game erased any doubts that the American Football League had come of age. It came after the Green Bay Packers of the National League had trimmed AFL teams in the first two Super Bowl games.
