Dallas Texans Win AFL Title In Overtime HOUSTON, Tex. (UPI) — The Dallas Texans used five crucial pass interceptions, a blocked field goal and Tommy Brooker’s 25yard field goal in the “sixth quarter” of a sudden death playoff to dethrone the Houston Oilers as American Football League champions. The end to the Oilers two-years' domination of the young league came Sunday after 17:54 minutes of playing time after the end of the regular four quarter 60-min-1 ute game, which had ended in a 17-17 tie with each team holding the whip hand for one-half the game. f The Texans looked super in 1 piling up a 17-0 first half lead on a 16 yard Brooker field goal and two Abner Haynes, touchdowns. One on a 28-yard pass from Len Dawson and the other on a one-yard off-tackle slash. Oilers Take Over Then the Oilers took over to the delight of the partisan record crowd of 37,981 who paid approximately $170,000 to see the game and set a player’s . share of the gate roughly 27 per cent above 1961. The Texans won $2,261.80 and the Oilers $1,471.09. The Oilers romped to a touch-1 down the first time they got the' ball in the second half with ( George Blanda flipping 15-yards | to Willard Dewveall for the score. The Oiler defense, sparked by reserve end Bill Wegener, tackle Ed Husmann and linebacker ' Doug Cline, proceeded to throw a tight halter on Dawson’s passing arm and the running of the Texans dual fullbacks — Jack Spikes and Curtis McClinton. While the defense kept the Texans bottled up in their own end of the field in the last half, Blanda engineered two more scoring drives, one ending on a one-yard plunge by Charlie Tolar and the other on a 31-yard Blanda field goal to tie the score. But in the end, Blanda and his most famous receiver Charlie Hennigan, proved the goats to the Oiler loss. Field Goal Blocked Blanda had a 42-yard field goal blocked by Texas linebacker Sherrill Headrick in the waning min- ,> utes of the regulation game, suffered' three ' interceptions that- -- - killed Houston’s scoring threats in . the first four quarters — and two more in the crucial sudden-death overtime. Two of the interceptions were turned into Texan, points with Bill Hull picking off the fifth Blanda interception just 44-seconds left in the “fifth quarter” to set. up Brooker’s winning three-pointer. u—_—X* wrf —, - ■ ■■■■-,,, „ II i,l ,|„,l w.ri ADAMS theater - ...I.IN ' A Merry Christmas to All.

Monmouth in Bishop Luers tourney. Saturday Berne in Columbia City tourney. Hennigan, - usually the most I trusted Oiler receiver, dropped ; four passes that could have meant a tremnedous difference in the outcome. Texan fullback Jack j Spikes, whose clutch running and ■ pass receiving set up one Dallas touchdown and Brooker’s gameI winning field goal, was voted the ■game's outstanding player. But Ihe too dropped a pass in the clear just moments before Brooker kicked the Oilers, off the AFL throne. Oiler Coach Pop Ivy conceded that, although the Oilers “handcuffed everything they (the Texans) tried in the last half and in most of the overtime, we just ' couldn’t capitalize on all the chances we had.” Major College [Net Tourneys Top Schedule By DICK JOYCE UPI Sports Writer That annual Christmas craze is just about upon us again, with more than 20 major college basketball tournaments on tap for the holidays.
