Raiders Down 49ers, 26-19

 

 

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 1(AP) Two quick Oakland touchdowns in the third quarter broke open a tight game and gave the Raiders a 26-19 exhibition victory today over the San Francisco 49ers.

 

The Raiders’ triumph was seen by a near-sellout crowd of 57,593 in Kezar Stadium.

 

San Francisco scored first with the game 7 minutes 48 seconds old. John David Crow took George Mira's screen pass and raced 50 yards to a touchdown.

 

Two passes from the Raiders quarterback, Daryle Lamonica, to Fred Biletnikoff, the second for 28 yards and a touchdown, started the third-quarter surge.

 

Four minutes later Lamonica passed 18 yards to Billy Cannon, who went 35 more to a touchdown.

 

An Oakland linebacker, Bill Laskey, snapped his left Achil­les tendon. The Raiders said he probably would be out for the season.
