It was the longest puntj return in AFL playoff history! and the first one brought back I for a score against San Diego- was worth, Buffalo player, Chargers, picked each. Buffalo jammed up the Chargers running plays so effectively that all-time AFL rushing champ Pari Lowe netted just two yards rushing in the second half. In the first half he broke away for 61 but most came on a 47-yard first quarter run. the winning Bills outgained San Diego, 269-229, and held the brilliant Alworth to four catches. I would have thrown to Lance if I could have, Charger quarterback John Hadl uid, but they were double teaming him most of the day.

I tried to get to the other receivers, but it just didn't work. "We couldn't get going and they played like champs, Alworth said. One guy was alwava knocking me off the line. Buffalo's Seban praised his teams line play. We whipped them in the trenches as we knew it had to be." San Diego threatened to score first, but Herb Travenio's 35- wssj missing last year, and fullback Keith Lincoln went out in the first quarter of the 20-7 Buffalo win.

Well, Alworth was around Sunday and Lincoln, though slightly hobbled, played too, but San Diego scored even less. Lou Saban's Bills shut them out, 23-0, as they captured their second straight AFL title. The San Diego loss was the fourth for Sid Gillman in five AFL title games.

(UPI) had to prove last year was no fluke, Buffalo Bills quarterback Jack Kemp said of his clubs 234 triumph over the San Diego Chargers Sunday for the American Fdotball League championship.

Kemp, named the games most valuable players, aid the Bills had been hearing all year how San Diegos loss of Lance Alworth and Keith Lincoln cost the Chargers last year's title game, 26-7. Today was the culmination of our play all aeason," he said. We scratched and clawed for almost every game. The Bills scored quick second quarter touchdowns on Kemps 19-yard pass to Ernie WarUck and a 74-yard punt return by Butch Byrd. Pete GOgoiak kicked three second-half field goals while the defense did not allow San Diego to cross uri BID 25.

Commissioner Joe Foss probably best summed up the game. It was a case of Buffalo doing everything right offensively and defensively, he said. "Each player carried opt Mi assignment as it was down on paper just the way it was supposed to be done. The Chargers' alumni came back to haunt Sid (GUmiitSan Diego coach), said Charger Bo Boberson, who SHOP TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY 9 AM to 9 PM could use them." Buffalo coach Lou Saban praised the line play, saying, we whipped diem in the trenches as we knew it had to be. The Chargers dominated the AFL 1 in both offensive and defensive statsitics this year and whipped the Bills, 34-3, earlier in the season.

The two teams also played to a 20-20 tie Thanksgiving Day. Chargers' halfback Paul Lowe, the leagues leading runner, was especially high on Bills linebackers Mike Stratton, Harry Jacobs, and John Tracey, calling them the best trio in the league. He also guaranteed the Chargers would win the title next year. Lowe gained 1 yards in the first half, but was held to two in the second. Saban introduced two innovations for the title game, switching fullbsck Billy Joe to halfback and utilizing two tight ends, Warlick and rookie Paul Costa.

Both Saban and Kemp' credited Warlicks blocking with helping the Bills control the ball as outlined in the game plan. Warlick. had been out for several weeks but returned to catch several key passes, including the one for a touchdown. Alworth, San Diegos All-League flanker, suffered a possible broken rib near end of the game. Its just typical of our game, Alworth said of the injury.

We couldn't get going and they played like champs. Hillman said he had no alibis. The Chargers were beaten by caught a key 46yard pass. Roberson, Kemp, offensive guard Dick Hudson, tackle Hank Schmidt and punter Paul Maguire all are former Chargers. Maguire booted one punt dead on San Diegos one and threw tha key block on Byrds touchdown sprint I hope Sid sends us some Msguira said.
