New York AP Fran Tarkenton, top NFL quarterback, says Joe Namath’s 450000 yearly pay does not upset him.

Oliva Hobbles Home Run Pushes Twins Past Royals
34-year-old Rod Carew? No, it is Oliva as Minnesota’s first base coach who pinch hits in the 10th. He belts a drive that would have been a triple for a faster runner, but hobbles to second in a knee brace. Lyman Bostock follows with a pinch single, scoring the winning run in a 5-4 10th inning victory over Kansas City. Meanwhile White Sox end Rangers streak and Dodgers beat Cardinals as Oakland, LA split wins.
