Comment On Sports
Joe
Namath's latest capers, which
have probably dragged the
morale of the once-proud New
York Jets into the muck for the
season, are a poor exhibition
for sports and an excellent
example of how so many of the
younger generation were led
astray by television, the new
life and militancy.
Like Denny McLain of the
Detroit Tigers in baseball,
Namath is living like a film
star or New York mobster and
demanding this and that from
the Jets-if he is to continue
to play. The Jets if they are
smart will have done of him,
for he will be more of a liability
than an asset in the future.
Namath said he didn't want
to play football early in the
month and even if he changes
his mind, this isn't the attitude 
of championship teams.
If he says he didn't mean it,
which version shall the public
and players believe?
McLain might have straightened 
up from his high-living
foolishness but Namath seems
to have profited little after the
1969 warnings from Pete Rozelle, 
and the order that he get
out of a shady business enterprise 
if he plays Football. Namath 
got out then but wants to
buy back. The Jets should let
him.
Team spirit is a necessity
in building winning teams. The
Jets can build that spirit with
today's Namath. It's a good
question whether the Tigers
can do so with McLain. The

sad part or it is that these fellows 
could have been sure
Hall of Famers, and all-time
greats, if they hadn't tried to
live like the characters in today's 
television programs, and
hadn't forgotten that they owe
a lot to society and those who
have gone before them, in sports
and out of it.

Talladega "500" Expected
To Continue Racing Trend
Sunday's
Talladega Ala. 500 is expected
to continue a trend set this past
Sunday at Irish Hills, Mich.,
where the race was run at a
record average speed with
only two engine failures, according 
to NASCAR President
Bill France.
France told a news conference 
the difference was a new
rule limiting the carburetor
venturi size, which will mean
faster 500-mile races in the
future with fewer caution flags
due to engine failures.
"The race at Talladega
should be an average 15 miles
per hour faster than any 500
mile race run," France said.
The present record for a 500
mile stock car race is the 157
miles per hour set at Daytona
Fla. International Raceway by
Richard Petty in 1966.
However, France said qualifying 
for the Talladega race
will be somewhat slower than
in previous time trials there.
He estimate the new carvurator 
venturi rule will mean a
speed of around 190 miles per
hour will win the pole position

on the 2.666 mile oval.
A record field of 62 drivers
is entered in the Talladega
race, with qualifyint starting
Thursday afternoon.
Pete Hamilton, winner of the
Talladega "500" last April,
and Richard Brickhouse, winner 
of the inaugural Talladega
500 last September, were present 
at the news conference.
Hamilton, who said the new
rule "makes a whole new ball
game at Talladega," said he
figures the qualifying speed
will be "in excess of the 190
miles per hour."
The Dodham, Mass., driver
leading money winner on this
year's NASCAR circuit agreed 
with France that the Average 
race speed should be
faster.
Brickhouse said he feels
strategy will play a more important 
part than ever in Sunday's 
race with more drivers
having a shot at winning."
