Do pre-season pro footballgames lack incentive?

It all depends on what side ofthe fence you sit, or better Mill,who was your last employer.That's where Lou Saban stands to-night when his Buffalo Bills playthe Boston Patriots in Buffalo,N.Y., in an American FootballLeague exhibitios.

Saban was fired by the Patriotsafter five games last year. ThePats, under new coach MikeHolovak, went on to win sevenand tie one of their last ninegames. "*

Now Saban is back again, witha Buffalo club figured as the topchoice to unseat eastern divisionand league champion Houston,and a little nose-rubbing beforethe season begins wouldn't be jwithout some bit of pleasure.

The Bills originally were bookedfor"" three exhibition games withinseven days, but a game this Satur-day night in Atlanta against NewYork, whom they beat 21-10 lastSunday, has been cancelled.

Saban now must take a doublelook at some rookies and new-comers who will be without com-petition for at least another week,

has indicated that BookerEdgerton of Western Illinois andCarl Chadron of Michigan State,a pair of rookies who sparkledagainst the Titans last week, willstart in the defensive backfield.

He will start Warren Rabb, for-mer Louisiana State star, at quar-terback in his plan to alternatehim with John Green and hasput Elbert Dubenion back in hisold flanker post.

NEW YORK (AP)-Al Jacksontakes no satisfaction from the fact •his 15-inning ironman choreagainst1" the Philadelphia PhilliesTuesday was the longest by amajor league pitcher since 1959.

"We lost, didn't we," the 26-year-old left-hander of the New YorkMets said. "How can you be satis-fied when you lose?

"I'd rather give up six or sevenruns and win, than pitch like thatand lose. I can't think I pitchedwell. I only think that way whenI win."

For 14 innings at the PoloGrounds. Jackson limited thePhillies to four singles and onerun and kept on going inning aft-er inning while the Mets flubbedone scoring chance after another.Then in the 15th the inevitable(for the Mets) happened.

First baseman Marv Throne-berry muffed Tony Gonzalez'grounder and Gonzales reachedsecond. A bloop single by BobOldis and a walk loaded the bases.Mel Roach, followed with a singlefor 2 RBI.

The Phils won it 3-1 and allJackson had for 15 innings ofwork was his 15th loss. He's wonsix, three by shutouts.

"My armJfelt a little weary,"Jackson said, a little surprisedwhen told he had thrown 215pitches, "but never did I feel likeI wanted to come out of thegame. Mr. Stengel asked me threetimes. I told him I was fine." Hereferred to Manager Casey Sten-gel.

"I think even my wife gave upon me this year," he said.

In a more serious vein, headded, 'Til try for it. Let's sse,I should get about 10 or 11 morestarts. I'd have to win seven. I'dneed to win my next three startson this road trip, too."

Ford ran his record to 13-5 inhurling his fourth complete gameof the season. He gave up solohomers to Vic Power and BobAllison but kept the Twins incheck otherwise.

Ford credited a cool evening forhis route-going-performance. "Myarm doesn't come back like it didwhen I was younger," he said."The heat takes it out of me.But I felt fairly strong all theway."
