KANSAS CITY (UPI) — The World Champion Kansas City Chiefs open the 1970 season, the first for the merged 26-team National Football League in a rematch of last season's Super Bowl against the Vikings at Minnesota on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Green Bay, Houston at Pittsburgh, Miami at Boston, Oakland at Cincinnati and Washington at San Francisco.
The New York Jets play the first of 13 nationally televised games on Monday night, Sept. 21, at Cleveland against the Brownins.
Kansas City will face three National Conference teams and two of the three newcomers to the American Football Conference. The schedule also calls for the Chiefs to play four of their first five games on the road.
The Chiefs' 1970 home opener will feature the Boston Patriots on Oct. 11 at the Municipal Stadium.
The Dallas Cowboys open a three-game Chiefs' home stand on Oct. 25 and the Cardinals open another three-game home stand for Kansas City on Nov. 22.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY?
MANILA (UPI)—The Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue is studying a plan to stagger the payment of income taxes by Filipinos to eliminate the last-minute rush every April 15. The proposal under study calls for the filing and payment of the tax return within 30 days after a taxpayer's birthday.
Kansas State, Prairie View and Fort Hays State will attempt to complete grand slams on the midlands relays tour this weekend when the final carnival unfolds at Drake.
Kansas State's two-mile relay team will seek its sixth straight victory on the Texas-Kansas-Drake circuit over a two-year period. The Wildcats might have had a shot at the sprint medley, too, if anchorman Ken Swenson had not come up with a sprained ankle last Friday at the Kansas Relays.
The Wildcats won five straight sprint medleys in 1968 and '69 before losing at Drake a year ago. They came back to win at Texas this spring, but finished third behind Kansas and Nebraska Friday when Swenson could not run.
Prairie View has a chance for two triple crowns in the college division. The Panthers, with Turman Boggess anchoring, have won the 880 and mile relays at both the Texas and Kansas relays.
Fort Hays States, too, has a chance for a college slam in the distance medley relay. The Tigers' anchorman, Larbi Oukada, was voted the outstanding performer at the Kansas relays. He set a record in the six-mile run Thursday and came back Saturday to anchor Fort Hays's winning distance medley team and place third in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Only two individuals won their events at both Texas and Kansas. Both will go for sweeps at Des Moines.
He came back Saturday, however, to keep the two-mile teams streak alive. Swenson was timed in 1:50.0 for his half-mile despite running in a driving rainstorm.

Three schools shoot for slam at Drake
Jayhawks elect FB captains
It will be the first time coach Pepper Rodgers has had cocaptains and the first time they were elected during spring practice.
The University of Kansas football team elected co-captains Monday for the 1970 season and the Jayhawks picked tight end Larry Brown and defensive end Steve Carmichael.
Brown is a 230-pounder from Starke, Fla., and Carmichael a 229-pounder from Mulvane, Kan. Both will be seniors next fall.
KANSAN Apr. 21
1970
Eastern New Mexico's Rex Maddaford has slam possibilities in the three-mile run as does Missouri's Mel Gray in the 100-yard dash. Maddaford registered one of only six records set at Kansas when he won the 12-lap race in 13:38.4. That was 15.1 seconds slower than he ran at Texas. Gray won in 9.4 seconds at Texas and 9.5 at Kansas. He passed up a chance to run against John Carlos in the open 100 at Kansas which Carlos won in 9.3.
An interesting phenomena on the tour has been Ray McGill. Kansas State's high jumper. McGill leaped seven feet, one inch at Texas, but lost on fewer misses to Brigham Young's Ken Lundmark.
