At the start, at least, Namath will have first-class company sitting next to him on the bench John Iluarte, pro footballs most expensive taxi squad member. The Notre Dame rookie drew a $200,000 bonus from the Jets, but has been relegated to the taxi squad thus far this season. Huarte, however, makes road trips and listens in on the overhead phone as part of his schooling. He also was working out with the squad yesterday.

Ewbank admitted his wealth of quarterbacks has its profitable points, but there is a debit side to the ledger and in New Yorks case the ledger shows a bleak 1-5-1 record. We fooled around with three quarterbacks in pre-sea-son, the veteran pro coach commented. It hurt us. We never could get set.

But we had to. We didn't know what they could do. We had to find out.

Six minutes later, after the Titans got themselves some running room by moving from their 10 to the 33, he left everyone astonished with a 67-yard scamper. Smith-Cotton, beginning to look like the Star's No. 10 out-state Missouri Class team in the second period, crossed the midfield stripe just 35 seconds beiore the half ended, and opened the second stanza with a rush that threatened to make the came a real toughie.

Starting out at their .37. the Ti- gers opened with halfoack Arnest going 28 yards to the Ti- tan 35. Seven plays later, the drive was at De La Salle's 20 with fourth down and a long five to go when quarterback Russ Cusick crossed up the Titans big defensive line and hit Jim Vinson with a jump pass tor a touchdown. Bill Herrick's boot made it 13-7. It was the closest the Tigers were to come to winning the game.

De La Salle, starting from its .33 after the kickoff, used up 10 plays going the 67 yards to Sedalias ecd zone, with fullback Mike Beach bull-j ing into the Tiger line for 29 of them. Following form, the last 17 yards were covered by Davis again around right end. After Sedalia took its last crack at closing the gap. and failed, the Titans started out again, this time from their 40. Tony DeAngelo lost two.

but Beach alternated power with grace and picked his way to the Tiger 13. Three more plays and the Tl- tans had a first down on Smith-Cottons 8-yard line. Rebori kept to the 4, Beach bounced off the Sedalia line for a yard and Re-: boris sneak got to the half-yard line. On fourth down the quarterback leaned over his line for De La Salles fourth T. D.
