It would save a lot of injuries A lot of time too Then even is evidence some of the players an getting tired of all these field goals also d What was it that Alex Karras grumbled? “You break your back out then all day and hen comes some Moot4 foreigner running out on the field yelling: ‘I’m going to keeck a touchdown' " i ZURICH Switzerland (UPI) —The and the toughness Game Has Changed Take a look at the four playoff games this past week20-1- 2 C Rangers Spend Happy Christmas On Hoad tion of Washington That's 12 not counting the "The game has changed" says a fellow like Gino who did such an Cappelletti excellent Job kicking field goals for the Boston Patriots before Christmas most of them have ever spent at least ended on a merry note The Rangers were away from their families from Friday afternoon when they left for Minnesota until after Sunday night’s game with Montreal in New York but came home with a pair of victories —a 1 win over the North Stars Saturday night and Sunday night’s 1 romp over the Canadians ' The Sunday night triumph e gave the Rangers a seven-poilead over the third-plac- e Canadiens in the National Hockey League's East Division The Rangers lead the second-plac- e Boston Bruins by four points Vic Hadfield scored two goals and went past the 40Gmark in career points and Ted Irvine Glen Sather and Pierre Jarry 2-- 5-- retiring this year “The way the game has changed every team has a field goal kicking specialist and all the coaches and the teams really want to know now is a kicker's percentage” Cappelletti adds Respects Pit Worker I know the game has changed Back in 1932 Earl (Dutch) Clark of Portsmouth led the league with three field goals Two years later Jack Manders of the Chicago Bears kicked 10 and he was considered so good they called him "Automatic Jack" Lou Groza booted 23 for Cleveland in 1953 and Jim Turner set a record with 34 three years ago for the Jets To me the change hasn't been that much for the better There was a time a field goal in football was like a penalty shot in hockey The fans looked forward to it and each attempt seemed to have more meaning "I dunno” says Gino CappelBy United Press International Eastern Conference letti “I've got a lot of respect Atlantic Division for a guy who can stand on the W L Pet GB sideline then come in cold and Boston 24 12 467 first-plac- nt d but open except the stretch from Snowbird to Alta which should be open by 10 ajn Weather over the ski areas will be partly cloudy today and tonight with alight chance of light snow High temperatures of 20 to 30 are expected with lows zero to 10 a The report: Alta — 123 total inches 11 new 5 degrees excellent conditions on pack and powder Beaver Mountain — S3 total inches five new 20 degrees excellent conditions packed and powder three double chairs Brian Head — 68 total inches one new six degrees very good conditions all lifts Brighton — 93 total inches four new 20 degrees excellent conditions all lifts area-by-are- Antelope Transplants DAGGETT COUNTY-Antel- ope trapping operations near Manila recently yielded over 200 pronghorn for in three counties of the state- -
