Oddsmakers say no to 7-game KC string
OAKLAND (UPI) -The Kansas City Chiefs, who in the last two weeks proved they can win in the old or new fashioned way, will try Sunday to knock off one of their chief rivals in the time-honored championship way.
The Chiefs will be seeking to protect their 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ -game lead in the Western Division of the American Football League when they meet the defending AFL champion Oakland Raiders. A victory would make them 3-for-3 over the Raiders and San
NEW YORK (UPI)—Earl Morrall is "looking forward very much" to his homecoming in New York Sunday, but it's doubtful the Giants are too enthusiastic over the return of their former teammate.
Earl Morrall going 'home'
Morrall, who spent three seasons with the Giants before being dealt to the Baltimore Colts for bench-warmer Butch Wilson this season, will again start in place of the injured John Unitas when the Colts (6-1) meet the Giants (5-2) in a key National Football League interconference game.
Baltimore is coming off a big 27-10 victory over Los Angeles and is tied with the Rams for first in the Coastal Division. The Giants edged Washington, 13-10, and coupled with Dallas' loss to Green Bay Monday night, are now only one game behind the Cowboys in the Capitol Division.

Diego Chargers on successive weekends, give them seven straight victories and an 8-1 season record.
The oddsmakers think it is too big an order and have established the Raiders as 2½-point favorites. The Chargers, meanwhile, are 16-point choices over the Miami Dolphins at San Diego.
Victories by the Raiders and Chargers would leave them tied for second place with 6-2 records only a half-game behind the Chiefs at 7-2.
The Chiefs beat the Raiders, 24-10, on Oct. 20 by running straight at their rivals from an old-fashioned "full house" T-formation such as was standard in the 1940's. They defeated the Chargers, 27-20, last Sunday with a conventionally-balanced T-attack of the 1960's.
The return of Otis Taylor and Gloster Richardson, who had been sidelined with minor ailments, will give Len Dawson the option whether to stress a ground game or vary his attack.
The Raiders, who whipped the Cincinnati Bengals, 31-10, last Sunday, have the league's leading rusher in Hewitt Dixon (580 yards on 115 attempts) and, of course, a front four which often puts forth the best pass rush in the league. Daryle Lamonica's passing has been erratic, despite the fact it has produced 14 touchdowns.
John Hadl, the league's leading passer with 1886 yards gained and 15 touchdowns, leads the Chargers against a Miami team which has allowed 183 points in seven games. Miami's Bob Griese is the league's No. 5 passer and Larry Csonka's 97 yards gained against Denver last Sunday made him the No. 8 rusher in the league.
The New York Jets, who are threatening to turn the Eastern Division race into a runaway, are 19-point favorites over the Buffalo Bills, who will have fourth-
string quarterback Kay Stephenson at the T-controls. The Bills intercepted Joe Namath five times in a 37-35 victory over the Jets on Sept. 29, and are counting on their strong defensive line to keep intense pressure on the New York quarterback again.
Babe Parilli for emergency duty.
Namath is suffering with a jammed thumb, and the Jets may be forced to call on veteran
NEW YORK (UPI) — The longest doubleheader baseball game on record went for 10 hours, 23 minutes between the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets in New York on May 31, 1964. The Giants won the first game, 5-3, then struggled 23 innings to win the second, 8-6.
Longest Doubleheader
The Houston Oilers face a series of "must wins" to remain within striking distance of the Jets, whom they now trail by two games. The Oilers (3-5) are 9 points over the Bengals (2-6)
after scoring a season high 30 points in last Sunday's victory over the Bills.
The Boston Patriots (3-4) are $ \frac{1}{2} $ - point favorites over the Broncos (3-4) in Sunday's other AFL game.

In the 13 years of attending KU sports activities, I have never heard our alma mater sung with enthusiasm by more than a handful of students or alumni. This is terribly discouraging because KU has long been superior in basketball and track and is now excelling in football.
So for Saturday's game, let's put our heart and soul into singing this beautiful song. Cut this out, take it to the game and make the valley echo with Jayhawk spirit.
