Thanks to the quota on news print the editors had to reduce the number of pages, which resulted in regular news getting scrunched into other departments. That accounts for the sports items on page 14. That is included because it printed out on page 9 of the original paper where a front page story was continued. In the old days sports never began on page 9.
