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.

 

 

Halfback Clem Daniels of Oakland runs behind the blocking of guard Gene Upshaw at Kezar Stadium.

 

Kermit Alexander completes 57-yard punt return.
