cher Ed Branoff. Jeff Wagley of Indianapolis Karma Records, Phil Sherwood "My knee is healed," he said. "I believe it is even stronger now than it was before. I don't think the blow that injured me would hurt it now." But the Giants, a team in desperate need of some offense, have preferred to go agonizingly slowly with Csonka. And he seems annoyed with that arrangement.

"My job is to run the football," he said. "I would have liked to play more and carry more. That might get me back to par. But they decided I would be more helpful as a blocker." Coach John McVay would say only: "Csonka is hurting. We planned to play him only one quarter and that's what we did." East Rutherford, N.J.

(AP) He is a running back with the National Football League statistics to prove it. But Larry Csonka is not running anymore and the New York Giants fullback doesn't like the situation. Csonka played one quarter and carried the ball once for four yards in Sunday's 10-0 loss to the New York Jets. A week ago, against Buffalo, the numbers were four carries for six yards for the man who has gained 6.469 yards in his career, more than any other active runner in the National Conference. "I guess I have a long way to go," said Csonka, coming back from knee surgery.

He was hurt in the 11th game last season but he insists that he has recovered totally from the injury. fibir only $155.26 a mnioinitlhu Whether you need $3,500 or $10,000 get it from the people who lend millions.
