fashion these days I played we played 60 minutes We learned fundamen he said just as he's been saying for years to pros and to kids at quarterback camps he ran until just a few' years ago "These special breeds of players these quar terbacks they've gotten away from fundamentals Yost my coach at the University of Michigan used to say playing was nothing more than habits at work All you did

four habits a got to acquire to avoid getting hurt One keep your head up always Two get compact low to the ground when you're going to get hit Three put out your arm or hand to break a fall And four curl up when you're on the ground "When your head's up your horizon is much bigger You're not going to be surprised when you're hit When your up your fanny's down and that helps you keep your balance And when your head's up your neck muscles are tight and strong and your head neck and shoulders can take a hit you're going to the ground you've got to learn not do do what comes naturally putting your hand out It might slide out or turn in under you or any of a thousand things got to tuck both arms in and sort of roll taking the fall on the shoulder Tve seen busted wrists dis located shoulders It happened to Namath to Bradshaw It happens to almost all of them all because they stay up too tall and put their hands out when they're going down ran Tar the exception that makes the rule He does things right I threw the ball I nev er wanted anybody to get a free shot at me so I'd follow through with my body as well as my arm and get down low Today these guys are the best spectators in the ballpark "About seven years ago riedman recalled "I met Bart Starr He was my favorite quarterback He was a team oriented man not an egotist and was as intelligent a play caller as ever seen "When we were introduced I said was tempted to pick up the telephone and ask you why' Bart jumped 'Why he asked me time you dropped back to throw and had nobody to throw to' I told him 'you never scrambled You went right up the middle You'd pick up maybe 15 yards then you'd cut left or right when you saw a defensive back coming They'd barrel into you and have a hell of a time picking yourself up off the ground And you had nothing but bad ribs and shoulders and I don't know what else Nobody ever taught you how to carry the riedman concluded "Bart stared at me muttered something about how Vince Lombardi never helped him be cause maybe he wasn't aware of it then he said 'I wish you'd called me' CHAMPION 1974 1976 INDY 500 WINNER 8 plugs per customer) Ooling syseff 4222M 42024M Good at

now put that mark on the line against a team that really knows what streaking is all about Like Denver Oakland has won its four games this year Unlike the Broncos though the Raiders won 13 in a row before that If records are made to be broken the Broncos think they might have the sledgehammers we have the utmost respect for the Raiders for what are an outstanding football team with superior talent in every department we aren't going into the game being in awe of them" says Coach Red Miller Still their record of winning 17 straight games regular season and postseason is something Only the 1933 34 and 1941 42 Chicago Bears and the 1972 73 Miami Dolphins won more consecutive games 18 in the National ootball League Matching that record would be nice says Raiders running back Mark van Eeghen but hardly the motivation for win ning 4 0 and Denver's 4 0 All I'm thinking about is being 5 0 next Sunday not any Quarterback Ken Stabler adds: record would be a feat because there are a lot of good teams around but most of the guys even know about any record" And Miller points out: "I'm sure that would be a milestone they would try to achieve but I don't think it will make it more difficult playing them" Sunday's other NL games are Washington at Dallas Chicago at Minnesota Cleveland at Houston Atlanta at Buf falo Baltimore at Kansas City St Louis at Philadelphia San rancisco at the New York Giants Green Bay at Detroit New England at San Diego New Orleans at Los Angeles the New York Jets at Miami and Tampa Bay at Seattle On Monday night Cincinnati is at Pittsburgh While Oakland and Denver fight for supremacy in the Ameri can Conference West Dallas will try to widen its onegame lead in the National Conference East It's early in the season but Washington Coach George Allen thinks a loss could prema turely end the season "If they beat us I imagine they will have a lock on the divi sion" he says of the unbeaten Cowboys "Dallas has played tough teams and beaten them on the road They're playing better football than we are right now but that mean we beat And of his own Redskins Allen moans: "We're in the worst physical shape been in all The Vikings been playing all that well this year Since losing their opener to Dallas they've managed to slip past Tampa Bay 9 3 Green Bay 19 7 and Detroit 14 7 Still they lead the NC Central and a victory over the Bears surprise winners over Los Angeles last Monday night would be a big boost toward a fifth straight division title Chicago Coach Jack Pardee hopes his young players can maintain the momentum they built up against LA week our youth shows and we make mistakes but we played with enough enthusiasm against the Rams to cover up those he said have to have that kind of effort against the Vikings" Dan Pastorini who guided the Oilers to their upset victory over Pittsburgh that put them atop the AC Central Division figures to start against Cleveland despite the sprained ankle that forced him out of action late in the third period last Sunday The Browns Steelers and Bengals share second place at 2 2 The Bills discovered again last Sunday that OJ Simpson can't carry them He rolled up 122 yards in a losing effort
