EAGLE AIR ATTACK TOPS BILLS, 38-30

Snead Connects for Three Touchdowns-Eagles Win

BUFFALO, Aug. 25 (AP)- Norm Snead threw three touchdown passes tonight, including a 40-yarder to Chuck Hughes in the closing seconds, to lead the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League to a 38-30 victory over the Buffalo Bills of the American League in an exhibition game.

The Eagles, who stretched the N.F.L. exhibition edge over the A.F.L. to 6-3, got the final touchdown with 11 seconds remaining when Joe Scarpati ran 40 yards to score with an intercepted pass. It was his second scoring theft of the night, the earlier one covering 60 yards.

Until Snead hit Hughes, it appeared as though Jack Kemp of Buffalo, who had been riding the bench, would emerge as the game's hero.

With slightly more than six minutes remaining in the game, Kemp replaced Tom Flores, who injured his right thumb. Kemp connected with Elbert Dubenion for a 64-yard touch­down pass that put the Bills ahead, 26-24. Mike Mercer's placement added the 27th point.

Eagles' Joe Scarpati races into endzone for first of two scores on intercepted passes.
