  • Schlesinger Says Arabs Take Risk with Embargo WASHINGTON (AP)--Secretary of Defense James R
    Schlesinger says Arabs take risk with embargo WASHINGTON (AP)--Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger says Arab nations risk increasing U.S. public demand for force against them if they carry their oil embargo too far. "I think that that is a risk," Schlesinger said. However, the defense chief said he does not believe it will come to that because the oil-producing states have already indicated an easing of pressure by increasing the flow to some Europeant countries and Japan. "We should recognize the independent powers of sovereign states should not be used in such a way as would cripple the larger mass of the indus- trialized world," Schlesinger said in-an interview recorded for broad- cast on public television stations tonight. "That is running too high a risk and it is a source of danger, I think, not only from our standpoint, but from the standpoint of the oil-producing nations." At the same time, Schlesinger said, "The alleviation of'pressure" represented by a 10 per cent increase in oil output announced last month "is an indication that the oil-producing states recognize their common interests with the industrialized world." Although the Arabs did not-reopen the oil tap to the United States, Schlesinger is knownito feel that responsible leaders in the Arab pro- ducing states already recognize the embargo against this country has reached the point of diminishing returns from a political standpoint. Associates say he is optimistic the embargo will be relaxed or ended, although he is uncertain how soon. In one way, Schlesinger viewed the Middle East crisis as benefiting the U.S.

  • Kapp-Ing a Memorable Campaign
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol 19, No. 1 (1997) Kapp-ing A Memorable Campaign `Injun' Joe Kapp spirited the '69 Vikings to an NFL championship By Ed Gruver He was called "Injun" Joe, despite the fact his heritage was a mix of Mexican and German blood, and he quarterbacked an NFL championship team, despite owning a passing arm that produced more wounded ducks than his hunter-head coach, Bud Grant, who spent pre-dawn hours squatting with a rifle in a Minneapolis duck blind. But in 1969, a season that remains memorable in the minds of Minnesota football fans, "Injun" Joe Kapp blazed a trail through the National Football League and bonded the Vikings into a formidable league champion, a family of men whose slogan, "Forty for Sixty," was testament to their togetherness. "I liked Joe," Grant said once. "Everybody liked Joe, he's a likeable guy. In this business, you play the people who get the job done, and Joe did that." John Beasley, who played tight end on the Vikings' '69 team, called Kapp "a piece of work...big and loud and fearless." Even the Viking defense rallied behind Kapp, an occurrence not so common on NFL teams, where offensive and defensive players are sometimes at odds with another. Witness the New York Giants teams of the late 1950s and early 1960s, where middle linebacker Sam Huff would tell halfback Frank Gifford, "Hold 'em Frank, and we'll score for you." No such situation occurred on the '69 Vikings, a fact made clear by Minnesota safety Dale Hackbart. "Playing with Kapp was like playing in the sandlot," Hackbart said.

    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

Biggest factors in the rosy outlook, according to Bolstad, are experience and balance. The Gophers top four men, Gene Hansen, Capt. Carson Herron, Rolf Deming, and Jim Pfleider are extremely well matched, and Bolstad says he can't chose between them as to excellence. The other members of the squad's top six are Harry Newby and Les Peterson. Bolstad hopes his squad will continue the great improvement demonstrated last year when the Gophers catapulted from ninth to fourth place and almost finished second.
