Simpson says he might play for the unheralded Orlando Panthers of the Continental Football League if the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League don't meet his $600,000 plus price tag, according to Elmer Cook, Panther president.

Ralph Wilson, owner of the Buffalo Bills, said recently that he and O. J. were far apart on that salary question, and added that Simpson must think that he, Wilson, was as rich'as Howard Hughes to be able to meet the price Simpson asked. * * * * " PALM SPRING, Calif.--The 26 club owners of the National and American Football Leagues 'took time out from their 1970 re- alignment problems yesterday to move the 1970 Super Bowl from Miami to New Orleans.
