ELLISON AGGIELAND North Gate College Station Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, September 17, 1970 THE BATTALION Rams, Vikings favored in NFC play By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK UP) — The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings will battle it out for the National Football Conference championship this year and, if Joe Kapp can still smile then, he may get a last meek laugh when the Rams topple the Vikings. Kapp is the former Minnesota quarterback who played out his option, became a free agent, asked for a reported $1.25 mil lion contract to re-sign and sud denly found himself without even a sideline pass. There is some question wheth er the Vikings can win with Gary Cuozzo replacing him at quarter back, but the guess here is that the defense-oriented Minnesota club can win its own division and move through the semifinal play offs before losing to the Rams. Here’s the way the three divi sion races might wind up: Eastern — 1, Dallas. 2, New York Giants. 3, Washington. 4, St. Louis. 5, Philadelphia. Central — 1, Minnesota. 2, Green Bay. 3, Detroit. 4, Chica go. Western — 1, Los Angeles. 2, Atlanta. 3, San Francisco. 4, New Orleans. Under the new Playoff system, the Eastern Dallas and Western Los Angeles champions would meet in one game with the Cen tral Minnesota champion taking on the second-place team in the conference with the best record. New York is a strong candidate for that spot. That would likely result in a replay of last year’s Los An- geles-Minnesota title match — only with a different winner, the Rams moving on to the Super Bowl against the American Con ference champion on Jan. 17. In the division races, the Rams appear to be the only certainty. The Vikings likely will be chal lenged by both Green Bay and Detroit while the Cowboys may face stiff competition from both the Giants and Washington. Los Angeles seems to be clearly the class of the Western sector with quarterback Roman Gabriel an outstanding passer and leader. The players also are dedicated to Coach George Allen, who many feel will not be rehired — win or lose. Developing defense, with No. 1 draft choice John Small now op erating at defensive tackli, should bring the Falcons in setjame ond with the Saints and iSen bringing up the rear. i-U perma-crease (xas _c Westbury Slacks Storms L' umbtrsiFp men’s totat jMi-Rii 32» University Drive 7!S/8iM!» Colleve Sunion, Texu 71W 1, Kansas Chiefs get nod in AFC AGGIE SPECIAL!

The Chiefs have it all — from talent to the I, but what’s most important is that they have it defensively too as Minnesota found out in the Super Bowl last January. The Chiefs led the American Football League in 18 defensive categories last season — and are capable of a repeat. In the run for the title, how ever, there will be tougher con tenders than before with Balti more and Cleveland joining Oak land and the New York Jets in the title chase in the New Amer ican Conference, composed of the Colts, Browns and Pittsburgh from the old NFL and the 10 former AFL clubs. Here’s the way the division races might wind up: Eastern — 1, Baltimore. 2, New York Jets. 3, Miami. 4, Buf falo. 5, Boston. Central—1, Cleveland. 2, Pitts burgh. 3, Houston. 4, Cincinnati. Western — 1, Kansas City. 2, Oakland. 3, San Diego. 4, Denver. In the new playoff system, the Eastern champion (Baltimore) will meet the Western champion (Kansas City) while the Central champion (Cleveland) takes on the second-place team with the best record. That likely will be Oakland. The Chiefs and Raiders should win those semifinals, meeting in the championship game just as last year — and it looks from here as if Kansas City has enough to get the job done and return to the Super Bowl, this year at Miami, Jan. 17. The Western race looms as a three-team race with Kansas City, Oakland and San Diego all capable of winding up in the top spot. In the East, Baltimore, Miami and the Jets figure. In the Central Division, the Browns might find stubborn competition from both Pittsburgh and Hous ton. The Chiefs should have the edge in the West with their de fensive unit, anchored by middle linebacker Willie Lanier, getting the edge over Oakland’s, minus defensive end Ike Lassiter, who was traded to Boston. The Chargers, with Lance Al- worth back, figure to again be explosive offensively, but can’t match the other two defensively. Neither can Denver. In the East, it’s a virtual toss- up between Baltimore, Johnny Unitas and the Colts’ rugged de fensive and New York, Joe Na- math and the Jets’ underrated defense. The edge would appear to be the Colts’ with Unitas’ mind clearer than Namath’s and all-league defensive end -Gerry Philbin lost to the Jets for at least half the season. The Dolphins, with quarter back Bob Griese given a stand out receiver in Paul Warfield, could be serious contenders. Neither Buffalo, with O. J. Simp son, nor Boston figure. The Central Division could have the tightest struggle if rookie quarterback Terry Brad shaw can do in the regular sea son what he has been able to do in the preseason for the Steelers. But the best guess is that the steady Browns will be on top when it’s all over. The Oilers, with a new quarter back in Charley Johnson and a legitimate breakaway threat in Jerry Levia^, also could cause trouble. The Bengals, with Greg Cook sidelined, will bring up the Light workout for Ag gridders The Aggies held a light work out Wednesday in preparation for Saturday’s game against LSU in Baton Rouge. A heavy all-day rain prevented the Aggies from working on na tural grass as coach Gene Stall ings had planned. LSU is the first of three A&M opponents which does not have artificial turf. Wednesday’s practice session stressed goal line defense and pass protection. “We didn’t protect our quarter back well against Wichita,” Stallings said. “We’re going to have to do a lot better against LSU.” Defensive end Barb Hinnant, who injured a knee in the 41-14 win over Wichita, was back in practice gear, but linebacker Steve Luebbehusen is still both ered by a bad case of shin splints and is questionable for Satur day’s game. need a R? tch-K; | HU-Te CU-Pu Ulas-P louston most important part ol our business is filling yom prescriptions.
