The rushing power of Green Bay's Jim Taylor and Elijah Pitts has given the Packers great ground-gaining ability but rookie Mike Garrett, Curtis McGlint6h and Bert Coan gave Kansas City explosive running. Ball Control Edge Most observers gave the Packers ai.

edge in poise and the ability to control the ball. Although Green Bay likes to move on the -ground, Starr is a master passer who has thrown only three interceptions all season. Kansas City has more of a razzle-dazzle offense and Stram said he might throw 10 or 12 different formations at the Packers. Dawson passes from a moving pocket that shifts either to right or left and permits him to run if his receivers are covered. Although the championship was the big thing, the rewards for the participating players was rich with members of the winning team receiving $15,000 each and the loser $7,500.

To form such a pot, the television rights were sold for $2 million with both NBC and CBS carrying the game outside of Los Angeles to an estimated combined audience of 60 million on a hemispheric basis over nearly 500 television stations. rl y-'y Coach Vince Lombardi brought his NFL champion Packers South after five days of practice at Santa Barbara during which the stern Green Bay taskmaster honed his team's edge to championship sharpness. Coach Hank Stram's Chiefs remained at their Long Beach training camp while awaiting Sunday's 1 p.m. kickoff in Memorial Coliseum that will climax the long uphill climb of the American Football League for recognition from the senior circuit. But still remaining to be proved is whether the junior circuit can meet the champion of the older league on even terms.

The Chiefs feel that they can but the oddsmakers say not. Green Bay was favored by anywhere from 12 to 14 points to defeat its younger rivals although most experts said that the Chiefs 'Were the best team to emerge since the AFL was founded in 1960. There was little to pick between the two teams so far as seasonal records were concerned.

But this time NBC figures it has a good chance since both networks will have the same picture and it has the outstanding announcing team of Curt Gowdy and Paul Christ-man. CBS counters with Ray Scott and Frank Gifford. In an attempt to lure viewers, both networks are making elaborate pre-game plans. CBS will start with the Harlem Globetrotters at 2 p.m. while NBC will have a pre-game special starting at 2:30 p.m., making its pre-game coverage almost as long as the game itself.

BAC To The Fore Of course, the ultimate irony in the whole situation is that the best pre-game show will be on ABC, which isn't even televising the game. ABC at 2 p.m. will show the NBA game between those two arch-rivals, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics. They've met only four times this year and have split the games and the 76ers are 37-2 against the rest of the league. But even though this is "Super Sunday," the housewives don't even nave the consolation of it being the "last" Sunday for football on TV.

Here The News selections toms, they still have Sunday to This time New Mexico look forward to. (All Pick Green Bay) brought an 11-1 record into Super, or Stupor Sunday There's only one more day until Super Sunday. In the event your television set has been on the fritz, the networks have carried us through Super Monday, Super Tuesday, Super Wednesday, Super Thursday, Super Friday and today is Super Saturday.

Super Sunday, of course, means the Super Bowl. This will be the shotgun marriage of the NFL and the AFL with the world's first super football championship. For those who are unable to make it Coast-ward in a Super Jet providing you with super service, the television networks will carry the game into your super homes in super living color. The game between Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers and the Hank Stram Kansas City Chiefs will be for super peanuts. The winning side will take home $15,000 and the losers $7,500 (prior to super taxes).

Now this is quite a super sackful of dough for professional athletes to receive on top of their seasonal super salaries. However, additional millions will be on the line in the contest: "Super Bowl's Image Scrimmage." This one is going to be between the televising networks, NBC and CBS. According to "Variety," the super show biz publication, CBS and the NFL outpointed NBC and the AFL by a two-to-one margin during the regular season. With this as the rate basis, CBS is getting $85,000 per minute for Super Bowl ads, or $20,000 more than NBC. Both networks will be doing a super simulcast for which they are paying the grid leagues a million bucks apiece.

The rival networks, according to "Variety," will carry the identical video picture fed by a CBS crew, however, they will have separate audio i commentary and color. All this will be the battle for the Nielsen points which is TV's super business to determine what the advertiser must pay for those not so super commercials. Sq, while Green Bay stacks its 28.4 year old squad with 7.0 seasons of experience against Kansas City which has an average age of 26.0 years, or 4.9 seasons of experience, the networks will be banging their super heads. During the last week or so NBC has given a super prestige build-up to the commentating team of Curt Gowdy and Paul Cristman.CBS will bank its roll on a pair of former super N.Y. Giants, Frank Gifford and Pat Summerall.

While the Packers need only to win by a point to be super champion, CBS will require at least a five point victory spread. It seems the game is expected to draw an aggregate 20,400,000 homes, or a minimum 37. combined rating.

NBC had hoped to have super strikeout star Sandy Koufax make his debut on this show, but the ex-Dodger wisely begged off claiming he would be out of his element.

The game should be quite super. The super Chiefs are the best of the AFL lot and, if they were meeting the non-super Dallas Cowboys, we'd have to go with them to win. But they will be tangling with the Super Packers whom we figure will take home all those super $15,000 bills. It's doubtful that the score will be of the runaway variety. After all, this is the wedding of the leagues and why kill the goose that laid the two million dollar super Nielsen egg.
