Trades May Be Key To Jets’ Success In 73

turns to this National Football League club. The “more” includes a stable of runners, like John Riggins and Emerson Boozer, who did most of the work last season, plus 1972 back-up men Cliff McClain and Hank Bjorklund as well as Mike Adamle, acquired in an off-season trade with Kansas City, and Jim Nance, signed as a free agent. Riggins is currently a holdout.

But what kept the Jets out of the playoffs last year—besides Miami’s perfect record which turned the American Conference East race into a runaway—was the Jets’ lack of a defense. They were third worst in the AFC in overall defense and, with an almost nonexistent pass rush, dead last in stopping the enemy aerials. But the collegiate draft and one very important pre-draft

trade may have solved those woes. The Jets’ No. 1 selection was Burgess Owens of Miami. At the start of the exhibition season—a lacklustre 16-13 victory over the Houston Oilers—the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder was a backup comerback and safety. But it’s possible he could break into the starting lineup if an immediate improvement isn’t apparent.

At comerback, the Jets appear to have solved much of their problem with that predraft trade. They dealt their No. 3 choice to the New Orleans Saints for a pair of seasoned pros, cornerback Delies Howell, a likely starter on the left side opposite Earlie Thomas, and defensive end Richard Neal, a solid reserve behind Ed Galigher on

the left. Mark Lomas is at right end with tackles John Little and John Elliott between them. With the retirement of Larry Grantham and a switch in positions, A1 Atkinson becomes the right linebacker with Ralph Baker on the left and John Ebersole in the middle. But the thrust of the team still comes down to Namath, who led the AFC last year in

passing yardage with 2,816 and in touchdowns with 19. With the departure of Davis, A1 Woodall is once again the primary backup nan. “I feel I’m still the No. 1 quarterback in football,’’ Namath said recently. “ My arm feels fine and there’s no pain in my knees.” Weeb Ewbank, the only coach the Jets have ever known, is

looking for one more championship before turning the club’s reins over to Charley Winner next year. Actually, the Jets’ biggest problem is Miami. If the Dolphins falter at all, a highly unlikely possibility, the Jets appear to be the team to take over supremacy of the division. But as of now, the “wild card" playoff berth seems a more likely goal.

requirement, an outgrowth of crashes at Indianapolis this year, has radically altered speedway car racing strategy by increasing number of needed pit stops. McElreath, Arlington, Tex., said he figured three to four pit stops would« be needed for Sunday’s ra« at the one-mile State Fair Park track. He said drivers should count on taking 20 seconds to slow down heading into the pits, 15 to 20 seconds to take on fuel and another 20 sec-

onds to accelerate back to top speed. “We average about 30 seconds a lap on this mile track, which means a pit stop under thr green light can lose at least a lap and half,” McElreath said. ‘So every time a yellow light goes on , you can figure that half the field will be driving into the pits.” McElreath said that while he would rather complete the race with only one stop, the extra fueling the race together and result in more lead ex-

changes. A1 Unser, two-time Indy winner and former national champion, said as many as 10 stops might be needed, which he said would lead to total confusion. Other former Indy winners entered are Bobby Unser, Gordon Johncock, A.J. Foyt, Mark Donohue and Mario Andretti, who set the one lap record here f 127.923 miles per hour last August. Time trials are set for Saturday.

Greencastle Minor League Champs

Kilmer Continues To Challenge Jurgensen

CARLISLE, Pa. AP-Bill Kilmer sees himself as the No. 1 quarterback on the Washington Redskins and says that anyone who wants the job, prujpnly Sonny Jurgensen, will have to take it away from him. But Jurgensen, meanwhile, doesn’t feel he’s ready to play. “I don’t really think I’m ready, but the injury to Sam Wyche forced the issue,” said Jurgensen. “I thought I would have more time.” He is slated to see his

first action of the season in the second half of the RedskinsDenver Broncos National Football League exhibition game Friday night. The injury-plagued Jurgensen is recuperating from a torn Achilles tendon, for which he underwent surgery in the offseason. Kilmer played most of last Friday’s exhibition game against Detroit because thirdstringer Wyche suffered a fractured cheekbone.

He received boos from the fans when he trotted on the field after the Wyche injury because he had not been able to move the team in the first quarter. Kilmer, who quarterbacked the Raskins last season after an injuryio Jurgensen, led the team to the Super Bowl which the Redskins lost to Miami 14-7. While rookies were especially vulnerable to cuts made Tuesday, veterans trimmed included 13-year pro Herb Adderly who was cut by the Los Aingeles Rams. The veteran defensive hack played for the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys and was obtained by the Rams in a trade from New England. Both Minnesota Viking and Washington Redskin fans received good news. Spokesmen at Methodist Hospital in suburban St. Louis said Viking defensive back Karl Kassulke was more alert Tuesday than in previous days since suffering critical injuries in a car-motorcycle accident. The hospital listed Kassulke in serious condition from the July 24 crash. Washington Coach George Allen said halfback Duane Thomas will start Friday against Denver. Thomas acquired earlier this preseason from the San Diego Chargers will be making his first start since he played for the Dallas Cowboys in the 1971 Superbowl.

QUINCY 111. (AP) - Quincy College will send its basketball team to compete in Finland during the last two weeks of August.

But the Toronto heavyweight is apparently under an indefinite suspension. David Ott, chairman of the Cleveland Boxing and Wrestling Commission, said Wednesday Chuvalo was suspended in June. He was supposed to fight Ernie Shavers here in Cleveland and he never showed...backed out of the

contract.” Ott said the WBA was notified of the suspension and carried news of it in its newsletter. Asked if this means Chuvalo cannot fight in Indianapolis, Ott said, ‘If the suspension remains in force and if the Indiana Athletic Commission recognizes it, then I suppose they won’t allow him to fight.” Asked about the possibilty of a hearing or investigation of the matter, Ott commented. “Mr. Chuvalo has not contacted me since the day of the suspension.”
