High Scoring Features AFL Gaines Sunday By DICK JOYCE United Press international They’re scoring at a point-a-min ute clip in the American Footbal League, and when things get dul the boys punch each other arounc to break the monotony. Sunday’s feature bout took place in San Francisco, where Charlie Powell of the Oakland Raiders, only recently an honest-to-goodness pro heavyweight boxer, landed a solid uppercut on the jaw of Ray Collins, 250-pound tackle for the Dallas Texans. And in a tag team match at San Diego, the Chargers' two defensive tackles, 290-pound Ernie Ladd and 270-pond Bill Hudson, were ejected in the fourth quarter for trying to take on a good portion of the Houston Oilers club. Play Also Wild The football was pretty wild and interesting, too. The Chargers defeated the Oilers, 34-24, for their third straight victory; the New York Titans, who had provided the AFL fisticuffs last week againsi Buffalo, threw nothing but touchdowns at the Denver Broncos and won, 35-28; and the Texans sent the Raiders down to their third straight defeat. 42-35. In a Saturday night game, the Boston Patriots edged the Buffalo Bills, 23-21. San Diego exploded with four touchdowns in the second period and then stood off Houston’s last half rally to win before a crowd of 29,210 on the West Coast. The Chargers are the AFL’s only unbeaten club. Six pass interceptions played a prominent part in the Chargers’ victory. Two of these by Charlie McNeil figured in two of San Diego’s second-period scores. On his first, McNeil ran 76 yards to the Houston 17, setting up a sevenyard to TD pass by Jack Kemp. On the second McNeil sped 74 yards for a touchdown. Sparks Titans At New York, halsback Dick Christy ran back punts 70 and 64 yards for touchdowns to spark the Titans to their win over Denver before 14,381 at the Polo Grounds Dorow passed for New York’s three other scores, hitting Don Maynard twice for touchdowns. Dallas battled from behind five times before beating Oakland before a crowd of about 6,700 in San Francisco’s Candlestick Park Johnny Robinson’s 13-yard touchdown run with less than two minutes remaining was the clincher for the Texans. Cotton Davidson threw two Dallas TD passes, one of them 6J yards to Robinson, while Tom Flores threw two for Oakland. As for the fight, Powell became incensed at the way the Texans roughed up Flores at the end ol the game. Powell landed an uppercut at the closest opposing playei before realizing it was Collins, his former teammate with the Sar Francisco Forty-Niners. “Is that you, Charlie?” Collins asked from the bottom of a pile “Why, Ray, you old sonofagun, I didn’t know it was you,” replied Powell.

Cowboys Score Second Win Os Season Sunday By NOBMAN MILLER United Press International The talented toes of the field goal specialists are paying off again in the National Football League, but it’s the DallaStCowboys who are getting thefciggest “kick” out of the young campaign. Jim Martin of the Detroit Lions, Lou Groza of the Cleveland Browns, Pat Summerall of the New York Giants and Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers all did some crucial kicking in winning Sunday games. The Cowboys didn’t boot any field goals but they got their "kicks” just the same by knocking over the Minnesota Vikings, 21-7, for their second straight victory. With two weeks gone in the tough NFL schedule, there are only three undefeated teams, and the Cowboys are in this elite class with the Lions and the champion Philadelphia Eagles. Day es Reckoning Next Sunday could be the day of reckoning, though, when the Cowboys travel to Cleveland to meet the Browns. The past Sunday was a day of the toe as NFL clubs kicked 13 field goals in six games. Martin kicked three of these, his last one traveling 49 yards with less than four minstes remaining to give the Lions a 16-15 victory over the Baltimore Colts. Groza, who was hauled out of retirement this season specifically for this purpose, booted a pair of three-pointers, his second coming from 19 yards out with 35 seconds left on the clock and earning the Browns a come-from-behind 20- win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Summerall kicked only one field goal and it came as early as the third period. But his 19-yarder provided the Giants with their margin of victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-14. Tough for Eagles The champion Eagles had a tough battle with the Washington Redskins before winning, 14-7, for their second straight victory, and the Packers bounced the San Francisco Forty-Niners, 30-10. In a Satursday night game, the Chicago Bears beat the Los Angeles Rams, 21Although coach George Wilson of Detroit said before the start of the season that he’d settle for a split of the first two tough road games against Greed Bay and Baltimore, the Lions now have won both and rank as the top contender in the Western Division. The Lions beat the Colts in a defensive battle, limiting Baltimore’s Johnny Unitas to a single touchdown pass. A crowd of 54,259 watched the game at Baltimore. The favored Browns trailed the Cardinals, 17-10, in the final period, when they rallied before a home crowd of 50,443. A 41-yard touchdown pass from Milt Plum to Leon Clarke tied the score. Rookie Tom Watkins’ 18-yard sprint during the final minute put the ball in position for Groza’s winning kick. Star far Cawbays Don Meredith and a pair of power running rookies, Don Perkins and Amos Marsh, played starring roles in the Cowboys’ win over the Vikings before an estimated crowd of 20,500 at Dallas. Meredith ran 20 yards for one touchdown and passed 19 yards to Marsh for another. Marsh also scored Dallas’ first TD on a 6-yard run. Perkins gained 108 yards in 17 rushes. Y. A. Tittle came off the Giants’ bench in the third period immediately after Summerall’s field goal and guided the touchdown march that enabled New York to withstand the Steelers’ late comeback before 38,587 at Pittsburgh. The champion Eagles needed a 23-yard TD pass from Sonny Jurgensen to Tommy McDonald in the third period to beat the dogged Redskins before 50,108 fans at Philadelphia. An earlier 80-yard pass play from Redskins rookie quarterback Norm Snead to Fred Duggan had tied the score. Jurgensen also passed 52 yards to Pete Retzlaff for Philadelphia s first TD. x Hornung scored a touchdown and kicked three placements and three field goals as the Packers rebounded from their opening defeat and beat San Francisco before 38.669 at Green Bay. Hornung and Jim Taylor accounted tof U 4 of the Packers' 124 rushing yards. Tommy Davis kicked a 46-yard Forty-Niners field goal that set a club record.

Billy Casper Wins In Portland Open PORTLAND, Ore. (UPD —Blllv Casper Jr. sank a five-foot putt on the 18th green at Colum-bia-Edgewater Country Club Sunday, dropped his putter and looked to the heavens. He apparently can’t lose here. The putt earned him $3,500 first J money in the $25,000 Portland Open golf tournament, the third 1 year in a row he has finished in ■ front. It was his first tournament victory since the Orange Open in California last October. Starting the final round three strokes behind slender, 24-year-old Dave Hill, the hot youngster from Denver who won the recent 1 Tucson and Denver opens, Casper launched his first nine with a pair or birdies and the back nine with two birdies and an eagle. His 18th-hole putt gave him a ’ 67, for a 15-under-par total of 273 while Hill finished with a 71 and a 274, one stroke behind the Ap- ' pie Valley, Calif., veteran. Five players tied for third at 277 — Al Balding, Toronto, who had a final round of 68; Bob Harrison, Pacific Palisades. Calif., who had a 69; Lionel Hebert, Lafayette, La., 70; Jerry Steel Smith, Glendale, Calif., 72; and Bruce Crampton, Sydney, Australia, 72. Purdue Takes Opener, LU. Is Defeated CHICAGO (UPD — Purdue and Wisconsin were 1-up today on their Big Ten football colleagues who must wait at least until Saturday for a test of strength against intersectional opponents. Both got off to winning starts Saturday, the Boilermakers with a 13-6 victory over Rose Bowl champion Washington and t h Badgers with a 7-0 decision over Utah of the Skyline Conference. Indiana also joined the early birds, but the Hoosiers who have won only one season-opener in 13 years, fell victim to the old jinx, losing 14-8 at Kansas State. Purdue and Indiana will be idle next Saturday, but Wisconsin was scheduled to bounce back for a clash with Michigan State in the seasdh's' first conference game. The Boilermakers' triumph on the West Coast, engineered on a pair of field goals by Skip Ohl and Dave Miller’s 30-yard touchdown run, broke an eight game Washington winning streak. But it apparently failed to remove nagging quarterback problem. Sophomore Ron DiGravio, coach Jack Mollenkopf’s selection to fill the vacancy left by departing Bernie Allen and Maury Guttman, had two of his passes intercepted, The second, late in the third period, enabled the Huskies to launch their only scoring drive. Wisconsin’s only touchdown came on a five-yard pass from the heralded passing team of quartreabek Ron Miller and end Pat Richter. Badger coach Milt Bruhn said the Utah defense “scared me" by consistently dropping his ball carriers for 16-yard losses. “It was a better opener for us than playing Marquette," he said. “Utah plays a ball-control type of game similar to that used in the Big Ten. We got our feet wet there." Lou Holland, a sophomore Badger back, lived up to his advance notices by turning in the outstand- ’ ing run of the day —an 85-yard 1 punt return, although it was 1 called back when it was ruled he ’ stepped out of bounds on his own ’ 34-yard line. Indiana’s lone score at Manhat- ’ tan, Kan., was set up in the fourth period on the desperation 1 passing of quarterback Byron ’ Broome. His 17-yard flip to end ! Bill Olavsky put the ball on the ! opponent’s five and halfback Nate f Woodson carried it over. - Berne Bears Score ■ First Football Win The Berne Bears copped their i first victory of their first football season Saturday afternoon at home, downing White’s Institute of Wabash by a 24-13 score. Berne trailed 7-0 at the half, and 13-6 after three periods, but rallied for 18 points in the final stanza. The Bears entertain Cambridge City at 2 p.m. Saturday. Davis Team First In Lighweight Contest A Decatur team owned by Paul : Davis placed first in the lightweight horse-pulling contest Friday at Fairland Park, bluffton. The , team pulled a 7,000-pound weight- ' ed sled the > required distance of 27(4 feet on its first attempt.
