San Diego's Chargers Led By Rote, Hadi The San Diego Chargers have mixed age with youth to brew a team that looks potent enough to win them the Western Division title of the American Football League. Tobin Rote, 35, supplies the' age and John Hadi, 23, supplies the youth. And more than a short snort of either is enough to kayo most any rival. Rote’s heroics were mainly responsible for carrying the Chargers to three victories in their first four games. The veteran had his troubles Sunday and so the sophomore quarterback from the University of Kansas came off the bench to lead the Chargers to their 24-20 victory over the New York Jets. The win enabled the Chargers to take a 1%-game lead in the West while the loss left the Jets only a half game ahead of Boston and Houston in the East. Jackie Kemp ran for one touchdown and passed for two others to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 35-26 upset of the Kansas City Chiefs and George Blanda threw three toOchdown passes as the Houston Oilers defeated the Denver Broncos, 33-24, in Sunday’s other AFL games. Boston beat Oakland, 20-14, Friday night. Jack Kemp scored on a oneyard plunge and passed 63 and 89 yards for touchdowns to give the Bills their victory over the Chiefs. It was a wide-open throwing duel with JCemp connecting on 12 of 24 for 300 yards and Kansas City’s Len Dawson on 23 of 46 for 210 yards. Cookie Gilchrist also scored two touchdowns for the Bills. Blanda passed for three touchdowns, engineered a fourth, ki,cked a 38-yard field goal and converted on all Houston’s touchdowns except one in a brilliant all-around performance. Rookie Bill Tobin scored two touchdowns for the Oilers while rookie Mickey Slighter threw two « touchdowfT passes to flanker Bob : Scarpitto.

27 Horses Die In Rate Track Fire WESTBURY, N.Y. (UPI) — A full-scale investigation was continuing today into the causes of the Sunday morning fire which destroyed 27 horses at Roosevelt Raceway and caused an estimated 4350,000 damage. The blaze, which destroyed two barns, was the first at the harness racing track in 25 years. The park and its surrounding area were rebuilt at a cost of S2O million just six years ago and the barns were believed to be fireproof. Heroic work by grooms who were sleeping in the barns saved the lives of many other horses and an alert fire department put the fast-spreading blaze Under control before it could cause further damage. No persons were injured. The cause of the fire is still undetermined. New York State Harness Racing Commissioner Robert A. Glasser summoned commission personnel to the scene and he placed them all at the disposal of the Nassau County authorities. The dead horses belonged to the stables of trainer-drivers William Hudson, Howard Beissinger and Tony Abbatiello. Hudson was the hardest hit, losing 13 of his 15 standardbreds.

U.S. Crushes British Team — In Ryder Cup ATLANTA (UPD - Arnold Palmer said today that despite the pro and con * arguments about the difference in size in the U.S. and British balls, the biggest trouble with the Ryder Cup matches is too much golf in too short a time. “I don’t know of any other golf tournament which plays 36 holes a day for three straight days,” Palmer, the U.S. team captain, complained. He suggested that the Ryder Cup matches should be stretched out to >at least four days, perhaps with 18 holes each on Thursday and Friday and then 36 on Saturday and Sunday. It was hard to get agreement about the type of ball used by each team. Team member Gene Littler, whose 6 and 5 final day win over veteran Scotsman Tom Haliburton was the most lopsided match of 32, insisted the small ball hurt the British around the greens. But Palmer said it gave the British an advantage Sunday because of the wind. No Complaints On Win Although Palmer complained about the amount of golf, he had no complaint about how his U.S. team fared in the threeday “grind” that ended Sunday evening at Bobby Jones' East Lake Country Club. The U.S. crushed the British 23 to 9 after turning the final afternoon’s matches into a 7% to % rout. In fact, the U.S. never lost an afternoon match in the three days as they stormed to this country’s 12th victory in the 15th biennial Ryder Cup matches. The British played the U.S. even in 16 morning rounds, winning six and halving four others for eight points. But, as Palmer aptly put it, the U.S. warmed up with the sun and made a runaway of the 16 afternoon matches — winning 14 and halving the other two. Needed One Victory The U.S. went into Sunday afternooh’s final eight singles matches needing just one more victory to capture the solid gold Ryder Cup never won by the British in this country. Littler, 33, had the honor of winning the decisive point as he all but ran the 48-year-old Haliburton off the course. He was 7 up after nine holes as he toured the front nine in a 3-un-dei - par 32, took a bogey 5 on No. 11 for his only loss, then closed out the match on No. 13 — earliest end for any of this year’s matches. From that point on, it was merely a question of how badly the U.S. would beat the British. It was the biggest margin ever run up in the matches although the U.S. did win 11-1 back in 1947 when the matches were more limited. Two years ago, in England, when eight less foursomes were played, the U.S. won 14 Vz to 9%.

Adon Girl Named Homecoming Queen Nancy Waters, a senior from Acton, was crowned homecoming queen at Indiana Central College Saturday, between halves of the Greybound-Chicago Illini football game. Her attendants were the four ether girls who contested with her for the honor in a student election. The winner was not announced until the crown was placed on her head by a member of the C association, the men’s organization of varsity letter winners. The members of her court were Linda C. Jackson, a junior from Decatur; Mary Lou McPheeters, a Terre Haute sophomore; Sondra L. Naab, a Mt. Vernon junior, and Miriam (Sugie) Windsor, an Indianapolis junior. ' Queen Nancy is the daughter of Mrs. Dorothy Green, R. R. 1, Box 2710, Acton. She was graduated from Franklin Central high school a consolidated township school in a suburban area of southeast Indianapolis in 1960. Miss Waters also is one of the members of the court of the campus queen who was chosen at last spring’s May festival to reign over certain college affairs for a year.

Illinois Looms As Threat In Big Ten Race By GENE BLUDEAU United Press International CHICAGO (UPI) — The Big lep’s title threats have made rdom at the table for Illinois. Illinois emerged from Saturday’s 20-20 tie with favored Ohio State as easily the most improved football team in the league and one with as good a chance for the championship as highly-touted Wisconsin, Northwestern or Ohio State. Coach Pete Elliott, who has spent just about all of his Big Ten coaching career on the outside looking in, said he was “proud of the way his team played up a storm after we dropped 10 points behind in the second half.” Elliott said he had no “flip-per-dipper” play in mind, such a» ! . the one which produced the previous week’s 10-9 victory over Northwestern. “We just played hard, high-spirited football,” he said. — Saturday’s deadlock left Illinois undefeated in three games this season and with a 1-0-1 conference record, identical to Ohio State’s. Wisconsin Downs Purdue Defending champion Wisconsin opened its conference campaign with a 38-20 rorrfe over Purdue, sharing first place with lowa, which defeated Indiana 37-2 in its league augural.-—-Northwestern’s Tom Myers changed from a goat to a hero in a twinkling, tossing two fourth quat er ' touchdown passes in a 15-8 victory over Minnesota, and Michigan tied Michigan State 77 before a crowd of 101,450 persons. Illinois shocked the Buckeyes with a pass interception and a touchdown in the first period. The Illini yielded the edge to the Buckeyes later but .were in front 20-17 with less than two minutes to play. Dick Van Raaphorst, who set a Big Ten field goal record of 48 yards last week, did himself one better by booting- one for 49 yards with 153 remaining. The kick gave the Buckeyes their tie. Van Raaphoret’s 49 - yarder was his fifth field goal of the season, tying the conference record set by Karl Holzwarth oi Wisconsin in seven games and Skip, Ohl of Purdue in six. The Buckeye “toe" has kicked his five in only three games. Seta Passing Mark lowa's Fred Riddle also set a Big Ten record, throwing five touchdown passes in his team’s homecoming' romp over the Hoosiers. The Hawkeye defensive unit set up five ( scores by intercepting three passes and recoverdown throws included a 76-yard ing two fumbles. Riddle’s touchbomb to Paul Krause Wisconsin's southpaw quarterback Harold Brandt scored one passed for another, But Badger Coach Milt Bruhn was elated about a fullback “find” name of Carl Silvestri. Silvestri, normally a halfback, moved into the gap when regular fullback Ralph Kurek was hurt. Silvestri wound up as the game’s biggest ground gainer with 86 yards in 14 carries. The Badgers travel to lowa next Saturday. In other games, Minnesota is at Illinois. Indiana at Michigan State, and Purdue at Michigan. a Northwestern is host to Miami of Ohio in one non-con-ference clash, and Ohio State meets Southern California on the West Coast in another.

Browns, Bears Stay Unbeaten In NFL Play By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Mike Ditka did .the job with his hands, Charley Johnson with his arm and Herb Adderley with his chest, but Jimmy Brown outdid them all with his incredible churning legs. Brown was simply superb Sunday when he broke loose for two long third-period touchdown bursts that sent the Cleveland Browns on to a 35-24 victory over the New York Giants in their battle for first place in the Eastern Division of the National Football League. It was Cleveland’s fifth win without a defeat. Ditka caught four touchdown passes as the Chicago Bears extended their record to 5-0. in the Western Division with a 52-14 rout of the winless Los Angeles Rams. Johnson helped the St. Louis Cardinals remain in contention behind the Browns when he com pie ted two last-period touchdown passes, the winning one with six seconds left to play, in a 24-23 squeaker over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Blocked Field Goal And Adderley, a defensive back with a remarkable knack for hitting the headlines, blocked a potential game-win-ning field goal-try by the Min rfesota Vikings. •. permitting teammate Hank Gremminger to pick up the loose ball and run 80 yards for a clinching touchdown as the defending champion Green Bay Packers won, 37-28 Linebacker Chuck Howley was a hero in the Dallas Cowboys' first win of the season, intercepting two passes that set up a touchdown and field goal in a 17-14 upset victory over the Detroit Lions. In the two other games, Sonny Jurgensen threw four touchdown passes as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Redskins, 37-24, and the Baltimore Colts sent the San Francisco Forty Niners down to their fifth straight defeat, 20-3. A crowd of 62,986 in Yankee -Stadium watched Jimmy Brown race 72 yards with a short screen pass on the Browns’ first play in the third quarter and a few minutes later run 32 yards from scrimmage for a pair of touchdowns that sent Cleveland on to its come-from-behind win. Gratifying Game Brown, who called this the most gratifying game he ever played against the Giants, gained. 123 rushing yards in 23 carries' and scored the Browns’ opening touchdown on a short plunge. He now has gained a total of 787 yards and 10 touchdowns in the best start of his carreer. Ditka caught three touchdown passes from Billy Wade and another from Rudy Bukich as the Bears handed the Rams their worst defeat since they transferred from Cleveland in 1946. The Bears intercepted six passes by Zeke Bratkowski and Terry Baker and also recovered two Los Angeles fumbles. Johnson engineered the most spectacular rally of the day when he completed a 55-yard touchdown pass to Jackie Smith with 3:48 left to play and then hit Bobby Joe Conrad with a 28-yard scoring pass with six seconds remaining. In all, Johnson’s passes gained 372 yards. The Vikings, trailing the Packers 30-14 in the final period, narrowed that gap to two points. Fran Tarkenton passed 29 yards to Paul Flatley for one' 5 touchdown and then set up Bill Brown’s one-yard touchdown plunge with two minutes retraining. Interception Set Up TD At Dallas, Howley’s first interception set up an 11-yard t'o uchd oW n pass from Don Meredith to Franke Clarke and his second steal put the ball in position for Sam Baker’s 13yard field goal.. Earl M.orrall completed touchdown passes of 32 and 70 yards to Gail Cbgdlll ih the final period, but in bettween these, Amos Marsh sprinted 41 yards for the Cowboys’ winning touchdown. The Eagles trailed Washington by 17 points in the first 20 minutes before' coming to life Tommy McDonald caught Jurgensen’s last two touchdown [lasses and rookie Ron Goodwin and Tim Brown each grabbed one earlier. Jurgensen's passes gained 303 yards. Johnny Unitas’ passes helped the Colts beat the punchless Forty Niners. Baltimore lost four fumbles but the Fort£_ Nin. ers were unable to take advantage of them. Unitas passed 11 yards to Lenny Moore for the Colts' first score. Jim Martin kicked a pair of Baltimore field goals. High School Football Auburn 27, Berne 13.
