August 1: Today in Jets History. Jets v College Stars

Namath even faredbetter than Graham, who, after an argument with Sample, came away with a cut onthe bridge of his nose. Their quarrel was not new. They have been battlingsince 1958, when Sample was on the All-Stars and Graham didn't let him playuntil the last three minutes. Then Otto wrote Ewbank, who was coaching atBaltimore, and said Sample would never make it as a pro.



The latestincident was touched off in the fourth quarter when Sample raised a mouse underWashington's left eye. "It was a right cross," said Washington. On thenext play, Graham thought he detected Sample clotheslining Washington and heprotested to the officials. Sample dropped by to mention that Graham was, amongother things, a bum, a lousy coach and stupid. Demanding equal time, Grahamrushed out onto the field and, while no one is sure who fired first, Graham gotoff several punches to Sample's helmet, which is not the best move he couldhave made, and the Jet cornerback either led or countered by driving his helmetinto Graham's nose. The officials decided the Stars should be penalized 15yards.
