Nance, 24-year-old sophomore fro out of Syracuse, rushed for 1,458 yards—almost 400 yards more than the previous record— and drew all 27 votes from the sports writers and sportscasters who voted, While Nance completely dom- inated the voting from the three-man committees ' in each of the nine league cities, the Chiefs scattered their talent throughout the 22-man squad, placing five on the offensive unit and four on tha defensive team. Lai Dawson, the CbMf quar- terback missed by only one vote of being a unanimous selection and was Joined MI the offensive teams by two of Ms targets, re- ceivers Otis Taylor and Fred Arbanas, tackle Jim Tyrer and guard £d Budde. Teammates who made the first-string defensive unit were end Jerry Mays, tackle Buck Buchanan, corner linebacker Bobby Bell and safety Johnny Robinson, Taylor had the toughest battle among the Chiefs in making the squad, running headon into Lance Alworth, San Diego's pass-catching sensation. Each received votes *r both the flanker and spBt end positions, tat Ahwrtfa got the nod at flanker while Tayior took the split end post. Probably the biggest upset qame in the balloting for the center's job. Oakland's Jim Otto, who has been selected to the AD-Star team for each of the six years the league has been in existence, was replaced by Bos- ton's Jon Moris. Rounding out the offensive unit were Clem Daniels, Oak- land's versatile halfback; tackle Ron Mix of San Diego, and guard Billy Shaw of Buffalo. While the Bills placed only Shaw on the offensive unit, they tied Kansas City for the most spots on the defensive squad, wtth Roland XcMe it end, Jin Dunaway at tackle.

Nick Buoniconti of the Patriots got the middle ttnebacking spot, Ken Mc- Cloughan of the Raiders took a comer back post and Ken Gra- ham of San Diego earned a safety position. In aH, there were 10 repeaters on the squad. Six were defend- ers — Mays, Buoniconti, Bell, Stratum, Byrd and Robinson, while the offensive repeaters were Tyrer, Shaw, Mix and At worth. Alworth wets the only repeater from the 1965 backfieki as quar- terback Jack Kemp, who got the only vote not cast for Dawson tUa year, waa dethroned akng with running back Paul Lowe, whose record Nance shattered, and Cookie Gilchrist, the bad boy fullback now with Miami.

Alworth-all-star for fourth year-wins first receiving title *^r' NEW YORK (AP) - Lance Alworth of the San Diego Charg- ers made the American Football League All-Star team for the fourth time in his five-year career Monday, and at the same time won the league's pass re- ceiving title for the first time. Alworth caught 73 passes for ;y 1.383 yards and 13 touchdowns, ; final AFL statistics showed, Monday. I The Chargers' great flanker J wrapped up the title Sunday by • grabbing eight passes in San j Diego's 27-17 loss to Kansas I City. ; Actually, he didn't need any of those catches because his chief competitor, George Sauer ! of New York, trailed him by three passes going into the final weekend and caught only two against Boston Saturday for a final total erf 64. Another first-time winner is fullback Jim Nance of Boston, who set a league rushing record b gaining 1,458 yards. Nance, who became the third player in pro history to reach the 1,400 level, dethroned San Diego's Paul Lowe, who set the old record of 1.121 last year. Only two other players barely reached 800 yards for the sea- son, showing how Nance domi- nated the ground-gaining de- partment. Rookie Mike Garrett of Kan- Inside sports sas City and Oakland's Clem Daniels tied for second with to- tals of 801 yards. Garrett had the best rushing average — 5.45 a carry. Quarterback Len Dawson of Kansas City became a third- time winner, gaining the pass- ing title with 159 completions in ! 26 touchdown passes, most in ' the league. Bostons Gino Cappelletti picked up his fifth scoring, championship in seven seasons, scoring 119 points on 6 touch- j downs, 35 extra points and 16 j field goals. I Bob Scarpitto of Denver set a ! league record in winning the : punting crown with a 45.8 aver- j age. San Diego's Les Duncan was the top punt returner with a j 13.2 average. Goldie Sellers of J Denver had the best Rickoff re-1 turn average of 28.5. Kansas City's Johnny Robinson and . Bobby Hunt tied for the most j interceptions with 10 each. j Panthers tumble Rangers 100-82; Burns, Freeman combine for 52 By MELVTN DURSLAG The first thing you try to understand about the Super Bowl game is way the swag is fixed at $15,000 for each mem- ber of the winning team and $7500 for each loser. You concede, for a certainty, that the idea to reduce baseball ki size, which, indeed, it is doing. The reluctance on the part of baseball to make changes is almost amusing. For years, the inequity in its World Series arrangement has been pointed out. Winning players are penalized because of the size of their parks. If Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Boston, Kansas City or Phil- adelphia, to name a few, win the pennant, the players re- ceive-less than do those whose stadiums are bigger. This is despite the fact that (a') it is just as tough for, say, Cincinnati, to win ^s it is for Los Angeles, and \b) tele- vision money is now pouring in by the millions. Another thought that occurs in connection with the Super Bowl cash dispersion is that the percentages obviously were fixed by the National League. The disparity between first and second monies in that game is pretty dramatic and obviously favors the NFL whose champions will go into the match a heavy favorite for at least the next few years. In the World Series and in the league title games of pro football, the split is 60-40. The next tiling you examine in the Super Bowl is the television arrangement by which the area within a 75-mile radius erf Los Angeles will be blacked out. This territory em- braces more than 8,000.000 persons. When a game is scaled at prices that go as high as $12, vou can't help wipe away a tear for those who cant af- ford 'the fcmd of cabbage and won't be seeing the match oo TV. Bat you can't put the knock on the principals for pro- tecting tneir gate in an area notorious for its refusal to pay for something in the flesh that it can see for nothing on the tube. Live TV in Los Angeles will destroy a promoter. No- body understands this better than Walter Francis O'Malley, who* would be quick to put the snatch on television mooey if he weren't certain that the showing of home games would rum him. Thus he dismisses TV with nice road games from San Francisco. . At a $6 top, the USC-UCLA game, televised m Los Angeles, drew only 50.000 paid (excluding students). This was a big match which everyone bebeved would decide the Rose Bow. team. Had it been known that this was oruy an exmbition game, the crowd would have been smaller. With no television, Notre Dame and USC the following week drew, without counting students some 71000 paid at the same price scaje. The TV fan obeys the law and pays his taxes, but he has oome to exaggerate his rigbtt. Just because be gets as manv as four footbail game* in the same day for nothing, Dius'the Work! Series, the Derty and ootmtiees other events, be feels u*i ae has been robbed if a promoter ever shuts him out u-^*« Worse than that, he strenuously oppoeea tne DnogXQg of major events to his city if u meat* a iocal television black- out.

BACK-UP BLUES — George Mira (left) of the San Francisco Forty-Niners, and Gary Cuozzo (right) of the Baltimore Colts, are two pro quarterbacks who feel they've been sit- ting on the bench too much and would like to be traded. Mira said Sunday, \There are a lot of teams that need a quarterback. I hate to sit around.\ Coach Don Shula, of the Colts, said he had discussed the matter with Cuozzo and said, \Gary is like any other player.

Panther basketball team to a 100-82 win over the semi-pro Rouses Point Rangers. For the fist time this basket- ball season, the Rangers were at full strength, but. . . it wasn't enough. The Panthers exhibited a dev- astating passing attack and re- bounded more like giraffes than Panthers. Actually, the ball game was a much closer one than the ! score would indicate. In fact, the Rangers, with a strong- third-period lead, led by a single point, 67-66, going into the final j period of play. i But the Panthers, always ex- ! plosive, got hot in the final mo- j ments of play to pull away. \ Richie Tarrant connected for! 26 points to pace the losers and i tie Freeman for game's high honors Burns, who was bril- liant on the boards as well, had 25. Ray Mischook and Rudy Holmes each netted 20 for Rouses Point. The servicemen led at the end of the first stanza, 22-21. Burns and Freeman began to hit in the second period and the visitors had moved out to a 47-39 advantage when the half- time intermission rolled around. But in the third quarter, just when they seemed in danger of slipping entirely out of it, the Rangers came to life. Holmes hit for 10 points and Mischook eight in that period as the Rangers suddenly start- ed to connect on a fast break and the locals came up with 2S points to but 19 for PAFB ; and led by the one point at the ' end of the period. At one point in the stanza, the Rangers heJd a five-point lead But in the last quarter, the Rangers ran out 0* gas and Plattsburgh caught its second wind. The Panthers came on with a fast break of their own ' and pile-drove to a 34-15 advan- j tage to win going away. i The Rangers next home game ' will be Thursday evening, at 8, , when McMarun Motors, of the I Plattsburgh City League and l conquerer of the Pointers by - 13 a week ago, come back for a return engagement.

Monday's indictment largely concerned the third race at Monticello on Aug 19. when Sziklai is accused of accepting a bribe from Alaimo and Semi- nara to finish out of the money, driving a horse named Houston Hanover. The perjury counts involve Sziklai's denials before the grand jury last Sept. 22 that he had held telephone conversa- tions with the three owners, as- suring them that the winner of the 3rd race would be Grumble and telling them to place bets for him with their money. Grumble, driven by William Popfinger. won the third race.
