the Dallas star ran for 1853
yards, and the five touchdowns
tied the record for one game
hung UP by Haynes on the same
day.
San Diego, which apparently
hasn't quite recovered from
that 1913 trouncing handed it
by Houston after it had won II
in a row. had trouble with
Buffalo but called on it's de-
fense to overcome a 10-point
deficit. Then Jack Kemp came
off the bench and passed it to
safety. Keith Lincolns 57-yard
punt return got the Chargers
moving and an intercepted pass
set up the go-ahead touchdown.
The Dallas-Denver game was
a so-what contest since neither
club is going anywhere and
Oakland's already there - in
the celler of the Western Divi-
sion. But a couple of records
were set. Lionel Taylor. the
Denver pass-receiver, gathered
in five to break his own record
Of 95 and now he has an even
100. This is 16 more than the
National Football League record
Of "a set in 1850 by Tom Fears
of Los Angeles.
Still another record, one over
which nobody will get ecstatic,
had to do with losing. Denver
lost its seventh game in a row
and that broke the record held
by Denver and Dallas before
the Sunday game.

Cannon Spree
Keeps Houston
In Contention
BY the Associated Press

There was some question.
however rather mild, in early
season whether Billy Cannon,
the Louisiana State All-Amer-
ican who had been no ball of
fire in his first year of pro
football. would make the Hous-
ton team.
But there's no question now,
especially after yesterday when
Cannon scored five touchdowns,
rushed for 216 yards to break
the league one-game record
and caught passes for ia yards
as the Oilers beat New York,
1921, and clinched no worse
than a tie for the American
Football Leagues Eastern Divi-
sion title and became prohibi-
tive favorites to take it all with
only lowly Oakland remaining
to be played.
That would set up a repeat
Of last years championship
game in which Houston beat
the Los Angeles Chargers, now
San Diego. San Diego, which
already has sewn up the West
ern Division championship,
beat Buffalo. 28-l0, while Dali
las Dashed Denver, 1921, in
other AFL games yesterday.
Boston, which wounded Oak
land, 1921. Saturday night, re-
manned a game behind Houston
in the Eastern Division race
and could tie for the cham
pionship If the Oilers falter
next Sunday at Oakland while
they nipped San Diego.
III was something OF a novelty
to see somebody take the play
away from busy George Blanda,
the Houston quarterback who
can beat teams by himself by
Just half-trying. Blanda had a
good day. passing for three
touchdowns. kicking l6 and
27-yard field goals and booting

sion last Saturday to terminate
his contract, even though he
was well aware his job was in
jeopardy. The action was taken
by West Points superintendent,
Maj. Gen. w. C. Westmoreland,
after consultation with the ath-
letic board.
He succeeded Blaik in 1859
and won 16, lost II and tied

discomfort toward the end of
this season and the 1877 defeat
by Navy in the final game prob
ably swung the balance.

ciaD The Washington Tapers
move on to San Francisco today

morrow and San Francisco
Wednesday night.
After the visit to San Fran
cisco Washington returns to its
home base to meet the Cleve-
land Pipers in single games Fri
day and Saturday night.
1t is becoming increasingly
apparent that the best move
the TaperS made in building up
their roster this year was their
quick signing of Roger Kaiser,
the Georgia Tech all-American,
after his release by Chicago'S
National Basketball League rep
reSentative.
Last night Rogers 15-foot
Jump shot here with seconds
left against the Jets gave
Washington a l0l-l00 victory.
1t was the second game in a
week Roger has won for Wash
ington with his accurate shoot
ing in the closing seconds of
play.
Washington blew a 12-point
lead in the last nine minutes
to the Jets. who got hot long
distance shooting from Larry
Friends and Dan Swartz in
the closing minutes.
But Kaiser, who wound up
with II points. had the final
answer in the thriller with his
last-second field goal.
Washington lost Saturday

game which found the Tapers'
Connie Dierking, who got 80
points, turning in his best
performance of the year.
In other league games last
night the Cleveland Pipers
were able to increase their
lead in the Eastern Division
with a 107-l02 triumph over
Pittsburgh. while Kansas City
scored over Chicago, 97-89, to
take a lead of five games in
the Western Division.
Washington's home game
against Cleveland Saturday

the Washington Generals after
the Taper-Piper game.
