Richard Petty (43) overtakes A■ J- Foyt on the first turn in the Pa. 500
Happy (football)
By MARK SIMENSON
Assistant Sports Editor
(Notes and quotes or football season can’t be far away after
last weekend’s two games.)
The last weekend in-July turned out to be one of the biggest
collection of sports happenings this Summer. From the
500,000-plus that frolicked together at Watkins Glen to the
handful that watched the Indians and Red Sox in Cleveland, it
was a unique three day sporting affair, j
Armchair quarterbacks, in seclusion since the Super Bowl
last January, were assured football is on its way back as two
grid contests were aired. I '
The better of the pair was Friday’s matchup between the
world champion lilliami Dolphins and thej College All-Stars.
The Dolphins won 14-3, of course, but many colle'giates said
they were on the same level as their pro counterpart. Given
time to practice as a unit (the All-Stars were together only
three weeks), Southern Cal’s Charlie Young told reporters the
All-Stars would have beaten the pros. Young wasn’t kidding.
Miami coach Don Shula probably won’t be kidding when he
works his troops for their game with the Cincinnati Bengals
this Saturday.
A pair of ex-Penn Staters received some air time courtesy of
ABC, which covered the All-Star-Miami game. Defensive end
Bruce Bannon, who is going to the New York Jets, sacked the
quarterback twice and linebacker John Skorupan, property of
the Buffalo Bills, intercepted a Bob Griese pass and returned
it 31 yards. i
In the second game the San Francisco 49ers easily handled
the New England Patriots, who were awaiting for blocking
help that was enroute from the All-Star game in Chicago.
Mammoth Alabama guard John Hannah and Southern Cal
fullback Sam “Bam” Cunningham, who has excellent
blocking credentials, couldn’t have saved the Patriots from a
20-7 dumping.
The game was played in Canton, Ohio and was billed as the
Hall of Fame Game. The quality of play didn’t resemble the
routes that Baltimore’s Raymond Berry once ran, or the
blocks that John Parker threw or the crunching tackles that
Joe Schmidt niade. These three Baltimore Colts Berry and
Parker and Schmidt of the Detroit Lions were inducted into
the Hall.
Howard Cosell, who appeared on both telecasts, was in rare prestigious British Open. He now ranks second on the tour
form in the announcing booth. Humble Howard had trouble money list behind Bruce Crampton with over $200,000 in
with several names,- including ex-Lion and New York Jet John _ winnings.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (AP) Wilbur! Wood of the
Chicago White Sox became major league baseball’s first 20-
game winner of the season yesterday riding home-run
support from Ken Henderson and Buddy Bradford to an 8-6
victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Pit crew nets
Petty victor jk
MOUNT POCONO,. Pa. (AP) Hustling Richard Petty,
getting brilliant pit work from his crew, won the Penn
sylvania 500 stock car race yesterday, though Butch Hart
man almost spoiled his show. I
Petty, stock car racing’s all-time money and events win
ner, had to bring his STP-sponsored Dodge from far behind in
order to take home the 153rd victory in a career that his
brought him a lot of fame and a modest fortune. !
He finished about 15 seconds ahead of Hartman, who ap
peared to have had the race in,the bag at the 400 mile mark.
Roger McCluskey, driving a Plymouth, was third, while
A.J. Foyt finished fourth in a Chevrolet and Norm Nelson
fifth in a Plymouth. . [
Petty, Hartman and McCluskey were running in the sanie
lap at theiinish. Foyt's chart showed he was a lap iii arrears.
Petty’s speed for the 500 miles was 132.781 miles per hour, [a
track record for stock cars. His share of the $60,000 purse was
about $9,000.
The 38-year-old Randleman, N.C., driver, a four-time
national stock car champion, had dominated the race during
the middle stages and held a 44.9 second lead over Hartman
when he suddenly ran into trouble as he made his 137th cir
cuit of the 2% mile Pocono International feaceway. j
His red and blue racer suddenly slowed as he tore through
the short back chute, a flat tire almost taking him into the
boiler plate retaining wall. Ironically, he had changed all
four tires only a few laps before. !
Hartman, a two-time stock car titleholder in the United
States Auto Club and looking for a third, shot by to grab the
lead as Petty limped to his pit. The Southern champion also
watched McCluskey come by to take over second place.
When he returned to the race Petty was almost a lab
behind. But things began to work for him a few laps later. His
chance came when Tony Bettenhausen Jr., whose father was
a famed Indianapolis driver, spun into the first turn wall,
bringing out the day’s fourth yellow light. !
Petty shuttled quickly into his pit under the yellow
slowdown and took Oibgnough fuel to finish the race. His crew
also installed a complete set of tires. ' j
Allowed to close the gap while the field was trailing around
behind the pace carf Petty roared off after Hartman and
McCluskey when racing resumed. He caught McCluskey ja
lap later and needed only , one more circuit to overhaul
Hartman, who had taken on fuel only during his final pit stop.
After that, Petty obviously had his new tires working in the
turns as he quickly built up a safe lead over the fading
Hartman and the 17 other cars that survived the gruelling
grind. !
Foyt, winner of more money than any driver in history and
a legend in his own time, was-penalized a lap for passing the
pace car during one of the slow downs. Otherwise, he woulcl s
have been in the thick of the action at the wire. |
A crowd of about 25,000 watched the race and they saw the
lead change hands 18 times between five drivers. t
But it was a frustrating day for several of the favorites.
Foyt had started in the front row pole position after a record
qualifying speed of 148.983 m.p.h. But the Texan never got his
Chevrolet going strongly enough to take command. I
Two other favorites dropped out early. Verlin Eaker, a
Cedar Rapids, lowa, veteran, had started his Chevrolet in
fourth place, but made only two circuits before a broken oil
pump felled him.
