The Minnesota Vikings have
no coach, only 20 names from
the National Football League
draft, and no schedule. But the
Twin Cities club has sold %, 900
season tickets for next seasons
debut in the senior pro football
circuit. With a little luck on
the playing field it could bios
som into one Of the most profit
able franchises in league his
tory.
The Dallas Cowboys, who
came into being last season,
are reported to have averaged
not more than 5000 paid fans
at their six home games, con-
siderably less than the number
needed to break even on ex-
penSeS. And, with the Dallas
Texans Of the rival American
Football League and Rice In
stitute battling them for pa
tronage, the future is dark in
deed for the Cowboys.
This is one phase Of q debate
shaping up among NFL club
owners over where to put the
Cowboys and vikings in next
years 14-club lineup-East or
West? Financially, the Vikings
have a more inviting setup. But
there also is the problem Of
available playing sites for early
season games.
Fourteen teams mean an
other long season., beginning
in mid-September and running
until almost Christmas. It al
ready has made several teams,
including the Redskins, cut
their exhibition tours from six
to flve games. But the biggest
problem is where to play in
September before the big league
races are over.
Only four teams-Green Bay,
San Francisco, Dallas and Phil
adelphia have no worries
about this. But If Dallas goes
into the Western Division it
will create a scheduling prob
lem. Western teams will have
enough parks in which to play,
but their Eastern brethren will
have to scramble.

by the association didn't specify
the exact charges against Nc
Kinley either. But an associ-
alton spokesman left no doubt
that it was the racket-throw-
ing incident after Mckinley
and Buchholz lost to the
Italians in the doubles at Perth
that prompted the suspension.
The decision was made,
Barnes said, because Mckinley
acted in a way detrimental
to the welfare of the game"
while in Australia as d men,
Der Of the United States team.
Barnes added that McKinley's
suspension was concurred in
by David L. Freed, non-playing
captain of the team.
The racket-throwing incident
capped a day in which Nc
Kinley either kicked the ball or
tossed his racket in disgust. On
the final point Of the 5-set
match, Mckinley dumped a
half -volley into the net, wheeled
and threw his racket into the
stands. No one was hurt but
the crowd jeered the young
American as he went into the
stands and retrieved his racket.
Earlier in the match, Nc
Kinley complained to tn e
referee over a linesman's call.
And when the referee refused
to reverse his decision. Nc
Kinley replied: you do not
know the rules"
II know one rule" the referee
replied, land that is the rule OF

do not know.
Although Mckinley and Freed
apologized to the Australian
and Italian associations the
following day, Barnes concurred
with the referee.
