Dawson's knee injury checked
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI)—Len Dawson, veteran quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, was admitted to St. Anthony hospital yesterday for an examination of his injured knee.
"If we didn't think it was serious, I wouldn't be here," Dawson said from his hospital bed.
"I'm kind of optimistic about what they're going to find," he added. "I hope it's not serious.
"I feel fairly good," the 33-year-old all-time leading passer of the AFL said.
Dawson was injured Sunday in the Chiefs' 31-0 victory at Boston, but X-rays failed to reveal whether the damaged ligaments were torn or strained. Torn ligaments might mean surgery.
Dr. Don H. O'Donoghue is to examine Dawson today. He was attending a convention yesterday in Buffalo, N.Y.

Bell uses special shoe
Kicking specialist Billy Bell will place-kick with a specially constructed shoe that has a curved steel plate built into the sole to insure that he boots with the proper angle. Since Bell also does the punting and uses a different shoe he's solving the quick-change problem with a side zipper sewn into his punting brogan.
The Linen to show
— since the new tailoring shows more of it, the shirt must be selected with the same care as one applies to the selection of a suit.
