Kilmer Leads Saints
NEW ORLEANS (UPI)- Quarterback Bill Kilmer threw for 231 yards, completing 20 of 33 passes, to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 19-0 exhibition victory over the AFL Boston Patriots of the American Football League Saturday night.
Rabid Saints' fans delayed the game a half dozen times with noisy choruses of boos directed at the officials and the Patriots.
Kilmer threw one touchdown pass, 33 yards to Dave Parks, and a 17 yard pass for an extra point after the Saints were penalized from the two because of offensive pass interference. Kicking for extra points was not allowed and a conversion by kicking or passing counted for only one point.
Kilmer, who retired to the bench early in the fourth quarter, also set up one of the Saints' two field goals with his passing. The three pointers came on kicks of 11 and 32 yards by Charlie Durkee, who missed on two other occasions and had his first try blocked by Boston's Jim Hunt.
Boston's Gino Cappelletti tried two field goals for the Patriots, one was short and he didn't get the other off because of a bad snap from center.
Backup quarterback Gary Wood ran over from the three for a Saints' touchdown as the game ended. Rookie Tony Baker's run for an extra point was no good.
