Roger Kaiser, Topers' Hot-S Shot Extraordinary,
Ranks as New Glamour Boy in Washington
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

Roger Kaiser probably would
be raped across the wrists in
college for doing what he's
doing with the Washington
TaperS, but the ex-Georgia
Tech hero has become a serious
long-ball hitter, just like Roger
MariS.
Kaiser is one-two in Ameri-

these tape-measure jobs al

same sort of threat as Harmon

At Georgia Tech, Coach

That's considered outside" in
college and Kaiser scored
plenty from there. peppering
the defenses with enough
jumpers and drive-ins to av-

year career. He triggered three
upsets over Kentucky and was
named to All-America teams
twice, as a junior and senior.
Joining the ABL represented
two changes for Kaiser. He
originally signed with the Chi
cago Packers of the rival Ma
tional Basketball Association.
but bounced here when the
Packers wouldn't agree to a no
cut contract. That was the
luckiest rebound the win-poor
Tapers ever captured.
Goes For Long Ones
Change No. 2 was in shooting
style. Kaiser discovered that
he needed something more than
a jumper to hit from home
run distance. So he went to a
one-handed push shot for the
long ones.

Huge TV Pot
In Line for
NFLFinuIe

NEW YORK, Dec. 25 CAP).-
A gold-lined purse of over a
million. dollars, financed in
part by a new television con-
tract that itself is double the
total receipts of the National
Football Leagues title game 1C
years ago, is in line for this
years game between the Green
Bay Packers and New York Gil
ants.
This will be the first yeal
of the new $6l5,002 contract
between the NFL and National
Broadcasting Co.. to televise
the title game, and this, COM
bined with the expected gate
receipts of over 100000 in
Green Bays new City Stadium
will make it a golden New
Years eve.
Just how much televison has
meant to the league in terms
of revenue may be drawn from
the fact that the 1851 game
in Los Angeles between the
Rams and Cleveland Browns
drew 57,522 fans.
1t was also the first veal
that the game was televised. The
NFL and the w-defunct Du-
mont network signed a SIS, ,00C
contract. This contract plus the
gate receipts added up to a poi
of $328,052, which was the
highest in the leagues history
at that time.
This year, 200 outlets in the
United States and Canada will
carry the game and NBC eSti-
mates 40 million viewers. Ano
even Jne viewers IN milwaukee
the Packers second home ,
will see the game.
The added dough in the TV
pot draws even greater atten-
ton when it is considered that
the Packers played the Phila-
delphia Eagles last year in
Philadelphia and the contract
in effect then called for only
100000. The new pact was ne
gotiated last spring after bid

and a pay television firm, ano
