Patriots Lose Another To Remain in Cellar

The Boston Patriots continued to display admirable consistency, despite occasional competence, as they lost game number seven to the New York Jets yesterday in New York, 23-14.

Boston frustrated Joe Namath and the Jets early in the game with an unusual defense created by coach Clive Rush to stop Namath, the quarterback, from racking up long yardage on his passes. It worked in that he completed only ten passes for 115 yards, but the Jets gained over 200 yards on the ground.
