McLarens See Larger Indy Advantage Over Turbine Gen
Indianapolis AP report notes that the McLarens hold a bigger edge than Jones’ 1967 STP turbine as the field readies for the 55th Indianapolis 500.

Cowboys Trade Rentzel Alworth In seven-player NFL swap
Dallas moves Lance Rentzel to Los Angeles for tight end Billy Truax and wideout Wendell Tucker. San Diego’s Lance Alworth goes to Dallas for tight end Pettis Norman offensive tackle Tony Liscio and defensive tackle Ron East. The deal also adds Gloster Richardson to Dallas as they seek more receiving help after Bob Hayes shopped for a new team. Rentzel, 27, on probation for indecent exposure, said the move suits all parties as he joins a team he can flourish with. Alworth, in nine seasons, has 9,584 receiving yards and 81 touchdowns. Norman, Liscio and East are sent to San Diego.
