I admit that I haven't written ten lines of Fortran in the last 17
years (1984 - when I graduated), but I do not know of a way to put a
GOTO statement on the same card as any other statement, at least not
in standard Fortran IV or Fortran 77.

That technique would also preclude using any subroutines in your
program.
