Sunday's Super Bowl Contest May Come Down To Big Battle Between Csonka And Tarkenton
Bv RRITE LOW ITT AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON iAP> - It all seems to come down to Larry Csonka vs Fran Tarkenton — brutal, relentless strength vs. deadly, explosive agility.
Csonka typifies the . Miami Dolphins, the one-touchdown favorites in Sunday'-; Super Bowl VIII against Tarkenton's Minnesota Vikings.
The Dolphins are a businesslike team, methodically wearing down the opposition, finding a play and sticking with it until somebody comes up with a way to stop it.
Nobody found a way to really stop Csonka in 1973 Bulling straight into the line or slanting off the tackles, he punched out 1.003 yards on 219 carries.
When the enemy decided to concentrate on Csonka. Mercury Morris went to work. With his waterbug speed and moves, he weaved his way for 954 yards on 149 runs. He most likely would have reached 1.000 yards, except for an injury that kept him out of the final regular-season game.
And to add to the running strength, the Dolphins again had Jim Kiick. He used to be known as half of the "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" team with Csonka before Morris "arrived." He's been fading into the background since then — but he can't be overlooked.
In 1971. when Csonka gained 1.051 yards. Kiick had 738 and Morris only 315. In 1972 Csonka had 1.117 yards. Morris flashed onto the scene with exactly l.-000 and Kiick. shunted aside a bit. had 521.
This season, though. Kiick became more of a specialist — coming in when the Dolphins faced a third-down and long situation or when they were within a few yards of a touchdown. Kiick was used not only as a runner — he finished with 257 yards — but also was a fine blocker and a dangerous shor'-yardage receiver. As the team's No. 3 receiver behind Marlin Briscoe and Paul War-field. Kiick caught 27 passes for 208 yards.
"Those three backs." said Minnesota linebacker Jeff Sie-mon. "give the Dolphins everything they need — everything anybody could need — in an offensive backfield attack."
It's not that the Dolphins can't pass. It's that they don't have to — but they can put the ball in the air with the best of teams. Bob Griese. a cooi. precise, almost mechanical quarterback, threw the ball 218 times this season, completing 116 of the passes for 1.422 yards and 17 touchdowns while having only eight passes intercepted.
When Griese goes to the bomb, his usual target is War-field, the 10-year veteran from Ohio State
Whether Warfield will be gliding around Rice Stadium Sunday, though, is uncertain, because of a pulled hamstring tendon in his right leg. He suf
fered the injury during a workout and spent Thursday strolling around the practice field sidelines in a sweatsuit.
Coach Don Shula was concerned. "We can't afford to lose a player of that magnitude." he said. And Warfield was a bit down, too "It certainly dampens a guy's spirits before the big g a m e "
If Warfield is unable to play. Howard Twilley. who usually plays behind Briscoe, would start. Twilley caught only two passes all season.
Coincidentally. Griese was rated the No.2 passer in the American Conference behind Ken Stabler of the Oakland Raiders, whom the Dolphins beat for the AFC title - while Tarkenton. No. 2 in the National Conference behind Roger Siaubach of the Dallas Cowboys, whom the Vikings beat for the NFC title.
Tarkenton was more .of a thrower than Griese. connecting on 169 of 274 passes — 61.7 per cent — for 2.113 yards and 15 touchdowns with seven interceptions.
But it's his nickname that makes him so dangerous. He's the scrambler, throwing opposition pass-rushers and defensive secondaries into a panic by darting around behind the line of scrimmage, then either unloading a timely pass at the last instant or breaking loose for a big gain and leaving a trail of weary would-be tacklers in his wake.
While Griese ran for only 20 yards all season — he had seven more than that in just one scramble against Oakland — Tarkenton ran for 202 yards.
Running is not his forte, though. He leaves that to the experts. In Minnesota's case. it's a rookie. Chuck Foreman from the University of Miami. He gained 801 yards despite missing a lot of action in mid-season with an injury.
While the Dolphins concentrated their running in the Csonka-Morris tandem that accounted for 1.957 of the team's 2.521 yards, the Vikings spread their yardage around. Behind Foreman came Oscar Reed with 401 yards, followed by Ed Marinaro with 302. Dave Os-born with 216. Bill Brown with 206 and Tarkenton with 202.
"They're just a fine, solid football team in all departments." Shula said of the Vikings. And. turning to Tarkenton. he added: "He can kill you. He can break a game wide open. He can turn a busted play into a big gainer."
With Morris' darting runs and Fran's scrambling, this could be one of the most wide-open championships in the past few years.
"The last few Super Bowl games have been conservative, close-to-the-vest affairs." says Bud Grant, the Vikings' coach. What he means, as far as most football fans are concerned, is that this contest of titans has become boring, a grind-it-^ut.
take-no-chances meeting "I think both teams will take
a different approach this time." Grant adds. "I know we will, and I expect Miami to come out zinging."
If both teams do. indeed, come out of their shells, their defenses are going to spend the day trying to shove the offenses back.
Csonka. will spend much of the day running into the wide-open and crunching arms of the likes of Carl Eller. Gary Lar-sen. Jim Marshall and Alan Page — the foremost members of the "Purple Gang."
Similarly, the Dolphins have a brutal up-front defense — they still like the nickname of "NoNames" — with Manny Fernandez and Bob Heinz at the tackles and Bill Stanfill and Vern Den Herder at the ends.
If these two quartets of bod-ybusters do their job on the runners, this could become an aerial war as Grant has suggested.
Askanase Is Out To Buy Padres Now
HOUSTON (AP) - Reuben .Askanase. a Houston financier. has been reported heading a group that will seek to purchase the San Diego Padres baseball club in the National League.
The Houston "Chronicle named Askanase Thursday as leader of the group. The newspaper said the Padres would remain in San Diego under the .Askanase plan.

Warfield May Be Ready For Sunday's Game
By MICHAEL A. I.ITZ AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON (AP) - Paul War-field. Miami's premier receiver, is a touchdown bomb waiting to explode, but he may-have been defused for the Super Bowl game by a hamstring injury.
Warfield pulled the tendon coming off the line during a workout Wednesday, leaving his status clouded for Sunday's Super Bowl against the Minnesota Vikings.
Miami Coach Don Shula said he might wait until pre-game warmups to decide if Warfield would play. Dolphins' trainer Larry Gardner said, however, that he thought Warfield would be ready.
"We're being very conservative about this." Gardner said.
""I expect to be ready." War-field said. "Something like this dampens your spirit somewhat. I can only tell Coach Shula how I feel and then the decision is his."
If he plays. Warfield. who caught 29 passes, including 11 for touchdowns, during the r e g u l a r National Football League season, will get plenty of attention from the Vikings.
Warfield said Thursday he's had to adjust to the fact that zone defenses are forcing professional football into conservatism.
"With today's zone defenses, there are so many men down-field waiting, that a quarterback has to be super to complete a pass." said Warfield. "On Sunday, the percentages are not with me or any other receiver."
Warfield caught a career high 50 passes at Cleveland in 1968. but his totals at Miami the past two seasons have been 29 catches each year. Lining up is instant frustration. Warfield says.
"First, the comerback is there to jam me and I have to go around him." he said. "Then maybe a linebacker will pick me up and there's a safety behind him just waiting for me to come into his zone."
Warfield said rotating zone defenses, which he'll be seeing against the Vikings, take away the individual challenge of one-on-i>ne.
"When I was in high school our coach told us if each of us beat our man we would win." Warfield said. "Now you have to beat three."
Bock Injury Keeps Walton On Bench
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A back injury suffered in a spill last Monday night probably will keep Bill Walton on the bench during both of UCLA's basketball games this weekend, says Coach John Wooden
Walton "probably won't even suit up" for tonight's Pacific-8 Conference game against California or against Stanford Saturday. Wooden said Thursday.
College basketball's Player of the Year the last two seasons, the 6-foot-ll Walton suffered a bruised back muscle when he tumbled to the floor at Washington State.
He was expected to play after X rays proved negative but he was unable to practice because of back pain, a spokesman said.
The Bruins go for their 85th consecutive victory tonight and it will be the first absence of Walton, who played in 70 straight UCLA wins.
Ralph Drollinger. a 7-foot-l sophomore, will start in Walton's place.
Chile's iron ore production is largest in South America.
—Will He Play Sunday?
Picks Miami To Win Over Vikes Sunday
By BEN THOMAS AP Sports Writer
HOUSTON (AP) - As Super Bowl Sunday draws nearer and the Fearless Football Forecaster is called upon for the final time this season to make his peerless prognostication, one recalls the words of Norm Van Brocklin.
The Dutchman, first head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, once said about Francis Asbury Tarkenton:
"He will win games he should lose. And he'll lose games he should win. But he'll never win games he should win."
If Van Brocklin's assessment is correct, then Tarkenton and the Minnesota Vikings should emerge victorious over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Super Bowl VIII . . because this is a game that everybody says the Vikings will lose.
That is everybody but Bud Grant and the Vikings.
"I don't feel I'm a loser." says Tarkenton. but he keeps telling everyone that no matter what he does against the Dolphins, nothing will change Monday.
Before disclosing whether the Fearless Forecaster will go along with the multitude, or the minority. le?'s report that this corner called both the American Conference and National C o n f e r e n c e championship sames correctly. That lifted the seasonal showing to 133 correct. 48 incorrect, plus 7 ties for .735 percentage.
Disregarding Van Brocklin's commentary on Tarkenton. there are a couple of other reasons why Minnesota could be picked as the winner, such as sentiment for the underdog, and the theory that on any Sunday any team can beat any other
But sentiment rarely wins ball games and the other theory holds equally true for the Dolphins.
Miami just has too much going for it. The Dolphins are probably as perfect a football earn as can be found. They just don'i make mistakes, when t counts.
As Grant said: "You look at nost of their games and they o o k undefensible. unstop
pable." You can expect the Dolphins
o run. run. run. run . . . and hen run some more, gand with Larry Csonka and Mercury-Morris and Jim Kiick — and even Bob Griese. the Dolphins will grind out the yardage, gobble up time, put everybody to sleep and it will wind up . . . DOLPHINS 20. VIKINGS 10.
Phil Esposito Scores Tying Goal Vs. Tony By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tony Esposito refuses to speak to his older brother when they're playing against each other in a hockey game, so Phil Esposito decided to do some talking with his hockey stick.
Tony didn't like what he heard.
Phil, the National Hockey League's leading scorer, walloped a shot past goaltender Tony with 45 seconds left and pulled the Boston Bruins into a 2-2 tie with the Chicago Black Hawks Thursday night.
"I didn't know where it was going to go." Phil said about the tying goal. "I made sure to get it high. Tony stole me three times earlier in the game."
"He never says anything to me." Phil said. "I talk to him but he won't talk back. He's not distractable. He's different from me. He's a goaltender. He never shows what he feels."
Phil, gunning for his fifth scoring crown in six years, recorded his 38th goal and helped the Bruins keep their unbeaten string at home intact with a 19-0-2 record.
In other NHL games. Buffalo d e f e a t e d the New York Rangers 7-2. Montreal dumped the New York Islanders 8-3 and Philadelphia beat Minnesota 7-4.
In the World Hockey Association. Quebec swamped Los Angeles 7-1 and New England and Toronto battled to a 6-6 deadlock.
Phil admits it would be enjoyable playing with his brother instead of against him.
"Maybe if we put our money-together, we could buy a franchise and play together." Phil said. "If they traded him. people would kill them (Black Hawks) and I wouldn't blame them."
Sabres 7. Rangers 2 Just before the game, some
one sent the Sabres a dozen roses with a sarcastic card that read: "One dozen sweetheart roses for the pansies of the National Hockey League."
A few players got miffed and took it out on the hapless Rangers, accentuating their anger by scoring three goals in the first two minutes of the final period and romping to victory.
Canadiens 8. Islanders 3 Guy Lafleur scored two third-
period goals and veteran Frank Mahovlich celebrated his 36th birthday by scoring his 11th goal of the season and assisting on younger brother Peter's third-period marker for Montreal.
Flyers 7. North Stars 4 Dave Schultz, whose bullish
tactics have given him the lead in penalty minutes last season and again this year, registered his second trick within the last four games for the Flyers.
Nordiques 7. Sharks 1 Rejean Houle scored three
goals and assisted on two others, pacing the Nordiques to victory.
Toros 6. Whalers fi Rich Sentes' goal at 13:54 of
the third period lifted the Toros into a tie after the Whalers had surged back from a 5-0 deficit. New England's Hugh Harris contributed two goals and two assists in the final period.

Manhattan Shot Down In Upset By Mercer 5, Memphis, Hawaii Beaten
By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer
Manhattan's shooting stars were blocked out by streaking southern comets Thursday night.
And Mercer College doesn't expect to come down to earth after an upset, 81-71 basketball victory.
"The word is getting around that we have a pretty good ball club," said Mercer Coach Joe Dan Gold after beating Manhattan's skyscrapers. "We don't worry about lack of recognition."
The unheralded team from Macon. Ga., outshone an Eastern power that has admirable credentials this year — including the championship of the Holiday Festival Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
"ft has to be my biggest victory at Mercer." said Gold, whose little-known squad has won 10 of 12 games this season. "Manhattan obviously is a fine team, winning the Holiday Fes-

BOSTON (AP) - St. Lawrence's freshman goalie Harry Aikens turned away 42 shots and teammate Pete Blair had three assists as Sf. Lawrence outlasted Northeastern 6-5 in college hockey Thursday night at Boston Arena.
Center Paul Gallagher got what proved to be the winning goal when he slapped home a 15-footer from the slot in the second period past second string goalie Jay Mason, who replaced Todd Blanchard at the end of the opening period with St. Lawrence leading 4-1.

Mercer's dramatic victory was fashioned behind Leonard Hardin and Billy Smith. Hardin scored 25 points and combined with Smith for 27 of Mercer's 50 rebounds.
The winners held every Jasper in check except Bill Campion, a 6-foot-10 brute who went wild with 28 points and 15 rebounds. But even Campion was nullified in the late going, when Mercer moved away from a 42-42 tie.
The Jaspers, described by some basketball "experts" as the kings of New York City, lost their third game in 10 starts this season.

The problem is old hat for Chicago but if there's a vacancy in the leadership of the National Basketball Association's Midwest Division, the Bulls are ready to toss their hats into the ring.
"If Milwaukee stumbles and drops their hat, we'll be there to pick it up." said Chicago Coach Dick Motta. whose Bulls manhandled the Atlanta Hawks 116-104 Thursday night, but still trail the Bucks in the Midwest Division by three games.

Motta was happy with the way the Bulls played, especially center Cliff Ray. but the fiery coach would be happier if the city of Chicago was located somewhere else on the map.
The Bulls have some pretty-nice numbers next to their name in the NBA standings. In fact, the Bulls' 31-15 record is third best in the NBA. next to Boston and their Midwest Division neighbors from Wisconsin.

Did Roses Help Sabres Take Rangers
BUFFALO (AP)-Buffalo Coach Joe Crozier wasn't admitting it, but a dozen roses may have helped his Sabres dismantle the New York Rangers. 7-2. in a National Hockey League game Thursday.
"All I know is that someone sent me a dozen roses, calling us pansies. and I brought them to the dressing room before the game." Crozier said.
The Sabres were shut out. 3-0. just 24 hours earlier in Atlanta.
"I don't think they had anything to do with the way we played, although it was one of the rougher hockey games we've had and we were taking the Rangers out of the play. But it was such a big game, which we needed to win. that we had to come out charging."
The victory moved the Sabres just one point back of the Rangers in the race for fourth place in the NHL East Division.
The game was tight for the first two periods as the Sabres took a 2-1 lead going into the finale.
Then, sparked by the high-scoring French Connection front line of Rick Martin. Gil Perreault and Rene Robert, the Sabres exploded for five goals, two in the first 31 seconds of the period.
"A 40-minute hockey game is all we gave them." sighed Rangers' Coach Larry Popein. "The third period was no contest. Those two goals in the first 31 seconds just turned things around."
The first two goals, one by Martin and the other by Robert, came just 10 seconds apart, setting a club record for the fastest two goals by Buffalo players.
The old mark of 18 seconds was set March 26. 1971. by Phil Goyette and Gerry Meehan.
The game, which had been a wel!-played and bruising contest, turned into a rout after Don Luce fired in a marker at 1:33 of the third period. Jerry Korab put in another at 13:50 and Martin scored again just 64 seconds later to give Buffalo a 7-1 lead.
Ted Irvine scored for the Rangers with 51 seconds left in the game.
The Sabres out shot the Rangers. 16-5. in the deciding period. It was the seventh time in «10 games that Buffalo had beaten New York.
the 40-yard line. All kickoffs must be returned except those going out of the end zone.
"This brings back the most exciting play in football — the kickoff return," said Rea Schuessler, general manager of the game.
College rules, in general, will prevail, although fumbles may be advanced and a runner falling may return to his feet and continue to advance the ball. The two-point conversion will not be used and a team behind by nine or more points will have an option to receive a kickoff.
Jaynes. holder of six league records in the rugged Big Eight Conference, passed for 2.131 yards and 13 touchdowns in his senior season at Kansas. He edged out Mike Boryla of Stanford for the quarterback spot on the team coached by Mike McCormack of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Cappelletti rushed for more than 1500 yards in his senior season but was held to only 50 yards in Penn State's Orange Bowl victory over Louisiana State. Swann pulled in 37 passes for 667 yards and six touchdowns for USC.
The South, coached by Don McCafferty of the Detroit Lions, counters with a pair of Arizona State aces and an Alabama star in its backfield.
The quarterback is Danny-White, a second unit All-American who led ASU to 29 victories in 32 games during his career. He passed for 2.609 yards and 23 touchdowns last season and accounted for 73 scores in three seasons.
Woody Green, another Arizona State star, rushed for more than 1.000 yards in each of his three varsity seasons while Alabama's Wilbur Jackson had a healthy 7.9-yard per carry average.
Defensive standouts in the game include four with All-American credentials for the North, although one. middle guard Lucious Selmon of Oklahoma, is a doubtful performer because of a pulled hamstring.
The others are down linemen John Dutton of Nebraska and Bill Kollar of Montana State, a Little All-American. and safety Artimus Parker of Southern Cal.
The South has first team All-Americans in Andre Tillman, a tight end from Texas Tech center Billy Wyman of Texas and offensive guard Buddy Brown of Alabama.
