Thinks Cubs Can Now Play Good Baseball
Cubs manager Leo Durocher praises an experienced lineup led by Ferguson Jenkins and Bill Hands with strong bullpen upgrades from Ted Abernathy and Hank Aguirre. The infield hit well last year with Banks, Beckett, Kessinger, and Santo producing power, while Williams, Phillips, and Hickman contend for the outfield spots alongside Hundley behind the plate. Road woes and home run issues loom as key concerns for a potential NL East battle with St. Louis.

No Sign of Football Agreement
Palm Springs Calif AP The joint meeting of the National and American Football Leagues stretched into its fifth day with no sign of a deal on realigning for the 1970 season. Commissioner Pete Rozelle said no definite resolution was reached and expressed doubt about settling the issues Thursday. Talks may resume at a spring meeting in New York in May with committees to be named in the interim. The core dispute is whether the NFL will remain 16 teams and the AFL 10 or move to total 26-team realignment or expansion. Rozelle confirmed the NFL’s stance on 16-10 alignment with no deviations.
