It's Stenerud Vs Muhlmann mi 2 THE KANSAS CITY STAR Wednesday September 24 lf6f Kickers Loom Vital GIANTS SUP TO SECOND Ollie Brown Haunts Former Mates When He Drives in Winning Run in Ninth Inning as Padres Defeat San Francisco 5-4 mm- DEFICIT ONLY ONE-HALF GAME Setback Signals End of 5-Game Winning Streak as Atlanta Takes Edge of Three Percentage Points in Western Division of M- in getting it away in 11 Stenerud kicked a 59-yarder in college (at Montana State) and socked the ball through the goalposts from 54 yards out against Houston in 1967 for his longest field goal as a pro But length is no longer important to him was in he says thought often then of kicking long ones But not any more Now my goal is to never miss an opportunity I want to make as high a percentage of my kicks as I possibly This does not mean that fans will no longer have the opportunity to marvel at long-distance field goals or that Jan thinks 59 yards is his limit If conditions are right and Stram thinks the time is a light Jan says in the tone of an Old Master planning his most important work if you hit it real well The kicking habit carried over to this season too In the Kansas City-Cincinnati preseason game in Jackson Miss the Chiefs attack found itself stymied until the third period when Mike Livingston took the offense in for its only touchdown although the final score was 23-7 Emmitt Thomas scored one for the defense returning an interception But Stenerud was again high man with three field goals The Chiefs obviously would rather have Jan on their side than Horst So would Coach Hank Stram he kept Stenerud and traded Muhlmann But all the Chiefs and Stram know Muhlmann wen He etched himself in their memories in training camp with his out-of-the-end-zone kicks in practice sessions Stenerud particularly is aware of capabilities There is no doubt that the new Bengal kicker went to school on Jan as golfers might describe it And Stenerud is impressed Stenerud Praises Foe is he said yesterday Then he amended his statement is very good exceptionally And is Muhlmann accurate? says Jan leaving no doubt good all-around If he has any trouble I think it will be because he has not played so many games As kickers he and Muhlmann are quite a bit alike Jan thinks although he admits with the ease of a wisdom tooth being extracted that Horst might not get his boots off as quickly as some kickers But he discounts that fact in the same breath allowed 1 seconds to get a kick Jan reasons no real point By Gary Warner (A Member of The Str' Soorts Stff) If the Chiefs-Cincinnati game Sunday bears any resemblance to the last three games between the two teams it will boil down to a long-distance shootout between a couple of former Europeans who might turn out to be the best in the business of the good old American game of football Jan Stenerud the Norwegian-born placekicker has already arrived his record since joining the team in 1967 has forced A teams into a new defensive strategy the Chiefs outside the 50 Horst Muhlmann the German-bom hooter who was a Chief until he was traded to Cincinnati for running back Warren McVea already is one of Coach Paul prize possessions In the two victories over Miami and San Diego he kicked four field goals of 21 21 17 and 23 yards Against the Chargers he tried a 60-yarder on a free-kick situation and missed One of them is a more-than-reasonable bet to decide game Field Goals Vital In the first Chiefs-Bengals game last year Stenerud supplied two field goals and Dale Livingston kicker one in the 13-3 Kansas City victory In the second league contest between the two teams Stenerud accounted for nine of the 16 points while Livingston was responsible for all of nine points One Bengal field-goal attempt failed another was

Giants out of first place in the National league Western division The setback dropped the Giants one-half game and three percentage points behind Atlanta which beat Houston 10-2 It also ended San 5-game winning streak Roberta Pena started the winning rally against reliever Frank Linzy with a one-out single and Slocum ran for him Slocum took second on a wild pitch before Brown who came from the Giants to San Deigo as the Padres first choice in the expansion draft singled to center The Giants had tied the score 4-4 in the eighth inning alter Willie Mays walked with one away The Padres played their usual shift on Willie McCovey putting three infielders to the right of second base and swinging the outfield toward right McCovey beat the shift by slicing a pop-fly double to left sending Mays to third Bobby Bonds drew an intentional walk to load the bases before Mays scored on pinch-hitter Dave forceout at second Clay Kirby Padre rookie right-hander bad a 4-1 lead- and had retired 14 batters in a row before he came unglued with one away in the seventh He issued successive walks to Bonds and Jim Hart then hit pinch hitter Leon Wagner with a pitch to load the bases Frank Reberger relieved Kirby and walked pinch-hitter Bob BUrda to force home a ran Another scored on John pinch sacrifice fly That narrowed the San Diego lead to 4-3 A single by Hart a walk to Jack Hiatt and a single by Hal Lanier had given the Giants their first run in the second inning after the Padres shelled starter Mike McCormick for four runs in the first Jose Arcia opened with a single and scored as Pena sliced a double to right Pena scored on a single by A1 Ferrara Nate Colbert followed with a double to put runners at second and third A balk scored Ferrara and put Colbert in position to score on

Roy Shorty) Preston of Park Till has been able to get a ook at his entire varsity under actual game conditions Preston said yesterday always did enjoy playing Blue Springs early Jut now that talked to my scouts I think I want to play them early or Preston was referring to Blue 28-18 victory over Fort Osage in which the Park Hill scouts got a look at the Wildcats Plenty of Key Talent people told me that that (Keith) Basham boy is the best option quarterback Preston said that (Tom) Evans boy is a fine fullback because been seeing him play ever since he was a Then Preston went on to say nothing in the Suburban Seven conference this season made sense to him thus far Trojans beat Summit last week but Preston believes that by end the Tigers will be playing to near their championship class of last year Grandview and Belton Preston believes are going through the process of getting used to new coaches the time we play those two at the end of the season have all their problems Preston said The Park Hill coach then said he thought Liberty might be the best team around and that perhaps Fort Osage took Blue Springs a little too lightly know that when we go to Blue Springs Friday night not only have to play that team but the whole school and probably the entire Preston said Future Looks Good Digressing for a moment Preston commented on his freshmen a team that has seven players that hit the scales at 200 pounds or more a team that has a kicker and a team that has both a left and a right-handed OUR GRtATIST OUR FACTORY BONUS SAVES YOU MONEY-OUR GREATEST SAVINGS-OUR FACTORY Cox 12-6) at

coaching ranks then went through the philosophy of coaching seems to me that the longer a man coaches the smarter he ought to Preston said years now my boys have been getting hurt in practice year for a week before our opener against Excelsior Springs I eliminated all heavy contact work So what happens?
