NEVv YORK (UPD—From the ditty bag: Mercury Outboard’s 1969 line introduced recently features an all-new 80-horsepow-er, four-cylinder motor and greater corrosion resistance for all models. Mercury now offers 10 different power ratings ranging from four-horsepower to 125. Company President E. C. Kiekhaefer has this to say of the new line: "Significant improvements are more miles per gallon and more miles per hour. For in-

stance, the 80-horsepower Merc 800 will outrun and out-accel-erate the competition’s 85horsepower models while retaining fuel economy in miles per gallon comparable to the competition’s 55-horsepow-er models. * * * The Miami area will have two major boat shows exhibiting the new line of marine products for 1969. The first, to be held a brand new one, the Miami Dinner Key Boat Show, and will be staged at the Dinner Key Auditorium which previously housed the Miami International Boat Show. The latter exhibition has moved to Miami Beach Convention Hall, site of the recent Republican National Convention.

Industry sources report that Outboard Marine Corporation is dickering with Craig Breedlove to drive one of its Evinrude or Johnson rigs in the Outboard World Championships Nov. 30-Dec. 1 at Lake Havasu City, Ariz. Breedlove, who holds the land speed mark of 601 miles per hour, was tossed out of his boat when he competed in the event last year at the Colorado River resort city, but apparently OMC experts are convinced he should be on the team. * * * One of the big attractions at the current Marine Trades Exhibit in Chicago’s International Amphitheatre is Thunderbird Products Corporation’s experimental 32-foot gas turbine powered Formula 322. The craft has a single United Aircraft ST6A gas turbine engine rated at 450 horsepower hooked up to a Pratt & Whitney Aircraft SJ6 waterjet pump. A novel aspect of the turbine boat is that it has no propellers or rudders.

SPORTS SPUTTERINGS By Walter L. Johns, Central Press Sports Editor MEXICO CITY Button, button, who’s got the button? That’s the latest craze in this district of 7 million people and while many of our friends will say that we lost our buttons years ago we didn't lose any here. Everywhere you go, at the Olympic Village, in the hotels, in the streets and on the buses, everyone wants a button. Meaning, if you will, one of the U.S. Olympic lapel emblems or one of the many other delegation buttons. It's amazing they don’t approach you for money (and some of the squalor around this big federal district is pitiful > but for buttons. Any kind of buttons. Incidentally, one of the top button and pin collectors here must be Larry Kristoff, a member of the U. S. wresting team, now competing in his third Olympiad. Larry has quite an impressive collection. “Change!’’ is the byword as they approach you. It should be "charge!” When you leave your room you can't even get down in the elevator before one of the boys wants to "change” a button with you. * * * WE were almost mobbed by Mexicans of all ages the other night when we went to a party in a plush hotel. We thought they were after our wallet but for the word “change.” They wanted but-

ton:.

I swear I could put on a HHH button and I would have got the same treatment and "changed” it for

one from Senegal.

The askers don’t care what the button is. They just want it. Souvenirs of the Olympics, you know. The buttons really mean

something at that.

The U. S. Olympic button is an attractive one and seems to have some magic "entrey” words written on it. If you wear a USA PRESS cap and that button, you can walk in most any gate of the Olympic village and they believe you’re some big executive of the Games. Actually, the U. S. button was the last to arrive, getting here from Providence,

R. I„ where they were made, only two days before the Games began. And Bob Paul, the press secretary, has enough to go around and then some for there were 50,000

minted.

* * * IT’S A common sight to see one of the hostesses or an elevator boy or a policeman or the little guy in the stieet decked out with buttons that would make the late Herman Goeiing blush. It's all done by the gimme and "change” method and if you are an attractive girl there isn't much problem for the guys with the buttons just love to pin one of theirs on the girl’s blouse. The ticket situation was something else. The powers that be changed the format three times in the last two days and the American press didn’t know if it was even going to get into the Games. Finally, it was agreed that the American press would K l ‘t a fancy piece of paper, like something you'd paste on your car bumper, for entry into the opening ceremony at Olympic stadium. And. a heavy badge which carries the two words, "Mexico" and ’’Prensa," would get you into all the events if something didn't happen to change the pattern in the meantime. The biggest rhubarb was the complete absence of tickets for wives after it was believed they would be provided for. Cocktail parties, yes. but no tix not even to buy. One thing, though, the wives didn’t have to worry about losing their buttons. We haven't lost ours yet. for we didn't have that many pins. We may, though, for we just got a new supply of U.S. Olympic pins from the U.s. press officer.

Larry Kristoff shows a few of his many buttons, pins.

Taliaferro goes from understudy of Namath to role of starter for Boston Patriots

By CHARLES RICHARDS UPI Sports Writer The last time Mike Taliaferro trotted onto the turf at Shea Stadium in New York, he was garbed in the green and white of the New York Jets and playing the role of understudy to Joe Namath. Sunday, Taliaferro will be on the other side of the field— in the red, white and blue of Boston, and he will be attempting to direct the Patriots to their first victory over the Jets since 1965, A Boston win would deadlock the two teams at the top of the Eastern Division of the American Football League.

Taliaferro, a five-year veteran, spent his first four years sitting on the bench behind Namath. In an earlier meeting between the two teams this year, in Birmingham, Taliaferro completed 17 of 30 passes for 276 yards—compared to 13 ot 25 completions for 196 yards by

Granatelli to build turbine passenger car

stepped into the batters’ box as a pinch hitter Oct. 1. 1933. He was 57 years and 16 days old.

LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Andy Granatelli, who keeps losing his running battle with US AC over turbine-powered racing engines, said Thursday he would have a turbine-powered passenger car ready for test runs in about four months. “We want ... to continue to create interest by American motorists in the possibility that something other than piston engines can efficiently power their family cars,” Granatelli said. Granatelli is giving up the idea of racing turbocars after this year because of several rules restrictions imposed on the machines by the United States Auto Club. Granatelli said he does not plan to go into the passenger car production business and will use a “chassis of one of America’s luxury automobiles” to be determined after a final check of measurements and components. He said the turbine would be mounted in the same underhood location of present piston engines and would use the same chain drive which transfers power from his racing turbine engines to the four-wheel drive system. He said this chain is used in Cadillac El Dorado and Oldsmobile Toronado. Granatelli said no decision has been made on whether to use four wheel drive in the tur-bine-passenger car since the conversion from two - wheel drive would require extensive changes. The turbine passenger car, Granatelli said, would “afford less air pollution, operate with greater silence, reasonable efficiency considering horsepower and greater smoothness than any existing piston car. It will certainly offer greater safety because of the low flash point

of kerosene fuel and the virtual impossibility of engine failure within a quarter million miles.” HTenpin Tales/ ■r by SAM LEVINE Editor. The Keyltr STAR bowlers Buzz Fazio of Detroit and the late Steve Nagy of Cleveland were driving on a California highway. When Fazio, the driver, .crossed the yellow line, a state patrolman who stopped the car recognized the keglers and asked Fazio to accompany him behind the auto, where the Detroit star gave him bowling instructions on the road When Fazio returned to the car. the policeman gave him a ticket, which led Nagy to quip. "Why didn't you charge him for the bowling lessons?" * * ♦ A MEMBER of the Detroit Rost Office League, George Stieber set an American Bowling Congress record which no one wants to break.

A 157-average pinmaii, Stieher howled a score of nine — 148 pins under his season’s mark — more pins under his average than recorded by any other kegler in history. * * * TO AVERAGE 192 for a season, it is necessary for a bowler to roll series better than 600 to compensate for the times he records totals less than 576. which is a 192 average. And Edward Mullen of Schenectady. N.Y., averaged 192 the hard way. His best series for his 33 league sessions was 599 and his lowest set 578

Wasn't His Day NEW YORK < UPD—Oscar Walker of Buffalo became the first National League baseball player to strike out five times in a nine-inning game on June 20, 1879. Spec(tocular) First NEW YORK (UPD—Boston’s William H. White was, in 1877, the first National League baseball pitcher ever to wear spectacles in a game.

Namath—but the Jets also picked off four Taliaferro passes and won 47.31. The former Illinois star said he is anxious to do well against New York “but not only because I used to play for them. It’s more because I play for Boston and we want to win-I mean win the championship.” The Boston-New York game shares the spotlight Sunday with the head-to-head encounter between Western Division leader Kansas City and runnerup San Diego. In other AFL action, Miami is at Denver, Houston at Buffalo and Cincinnati at Oakland. The Jets are best known for their high-flying offense, but go into the game with Buffalo with the AFL’s leading defense. The two teams to beat New Yorkcounted for all three Boston victories. Besides New York, Buffalo lost also to Oakland and Houston. The Patriots have Jim Nance back in good health again, which means the Boston ground game should be considerably stronger. Field goal specialist Gino Cappelletti needs only 11 points to hit the 1,000-point mark in his career. Should high-scoring San Diego defeat Kansas City Sunday, the Chargers would take over the Western Division lead by onehalf game. Behind the Chiefs’ 61 mark, San Diego is 5-1, Oakland, 4-2, Denver, 2-4 and Cincinnati, 2-5. In the Eastern Division, New York is 4-2, Boston, 3-3, Miami, 2-3-1, Houston, 2-5 and Buffalo, 1-5-1. —Candidate the Crown Point Rotary Club.
