stems' yp to us and I made up my mind about then that I would either have them outlawed or I would get one myself. The thing is, those sidewheelers actually are punting the ball and so they can kick it further." Howfield, aware of Turner's record-setting reputation with the Jets, admits he was stunned when the deal was made. "Why me he asked his wife.

Sitting in his Long Island home taking it all in was Howfield, party of the second part in that deal, who by inference was being described as a stiff.

Yesterday Howfield attempted to shrug off Cosell's remarks, although his eyes flashed with some bitterness. tWH, -everybody's entitled to his opinion and that's just Hwmxd," declared. "Every-time Howard gets an opportunity knock the Jets he takes it. I just happened to be the guy he was knocking this 'week.

Weeb Ewbank, who made that deal, was openly incensed. "Why Bobby Howfield led the league last year!" Ewbank exploded. "Howard doesn't know what he's talking about. He didn't bother to look up the records." Ewbank said he was so pleased with Howf ield's AFC-leading performance last-year that he paid him the Pro Bowl bonus written into his contract, believed to be about $2,000, even though the bearded Englishman wasn't invited. "He deserved it," Ewbank noted.

If Cosell wanted to knock the Turner-Howland deal, he should have done it a year earlier. Turner outscored Howfield 93 points to 49 in 1971 and the Jets' place kicker is the first to admit he had a dismal season. Last year, however, he out-booted Turner, 121 points to 97, and at the present fiat Howfield, kicking for a futile offense, trails, 41 to 26. know Jim Turner's a fine kteier, Ewbank said in explaining that long-ago. trade, "but tiro aidewheelers were killing i' Let's 4 I go OLD SMUGGLER SCOTCH VANDERBILT V-110 VENTURA REGULAR TIRES 88 PROOF BLEN3ED SCOTCH WHISKY.
