* / r s

MURCHISON SCHRAMM

The Dallas Cowboys are owned by a former 130-pound halfback

for Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The Cowboys are i-un by a former sports writer.
This combination has, while nursing along an expansion team
until it became a division champion, proved to be a most effective
combination.
The ex-halfback is Clint Murchison, Jr., the wealthy Dallas business
man, who originally served as president of the club. He is still
chairman of the board.
Texas E. Schramm is the foimier sportswriter who served as vice-
president and general manager until being named president two
years ago.
There are few better qualified club presidents than the California
native, who has become recognized as one of the most progressive
administrators in professional sports.
Schramm holds a BA degree in Journalism from the University
of Texas, acquired between 1939 and 1947 with timeout for a four-
year hitch in the Air Transport Command where he made Captain.
While still in school, Schramm was a member of the sports staff
of the Austin American Statesman and later sports editor.
In 1947 he joined the Los Angeles Rams as publicity director, and
in a 10-year career there, rose to general manager.
He left the Rams to join Columbia Broadcasting System as Assis
tant Director of Sports in 1957 and was there until summoned by
Murchison and Bedford Wynne to guide the Cowboys.
One of his major assets is to be a sound judge of men. It was
Schramm who brought Pete Rozelle into pro football as publicity
man for the Rams.
Aside from the development of the Cowboys, perhaps his major
achievements have been his work with scouting systems, both with
the Rams and Cowboys, and the merger of the NFL and APL.
It was Schramm and Lamar Hunt, owmer of the Kansas City
Chiefs, who handled all of the preliminary negotiations for the
merger.
 It is difficult to picture youthful, imaginative Dallas Cowboys
coach Tom Landry as the elder statesman of the National Football
League coaches.
But his nine-year tenure with the Cowboys, the first and only
coach the club has had, earns him that title. There are two — Sid
Gillman of San Diego and Hank Stram of Kansas City — who have
the same billing in the American Football League.
And in these nine years Landry has turned an expansion team — a
team without benefit of a first year draft — into one of the NFL s
powers.
After the humble beg:inning, the Cowboys tunied the corner in
1965 and finished 7-7. Since that time there have been two Eastern
Conference championships and one Capitol Division title and twice the
Cowboys have been to the brink of the NFL championship, losing
by the narrowest of margins to Green Bay in title games of 1966
and 1967. .
And he has accomplished this with basic defensive concepts which
he helped refine himself while with the New York Giants, and with
multiple offense techniques which stamp the Cowboys as the most
explosive and exciting team in the league.
The Cowboys finished as high as second in team offense in 1962
and second in team defense in 1964, but it was last year the Cowboys
enjoyed their finest total effort while winning 12 of 14 games. The
offense ranked first and the defense third in the NFL.
Despite the success there are goals which must be reached before
Tom can begin to enjoy the measure of satisfaction he deseiwes.
The championship, of course, is the ultimate. Another is a statistical
pebble in his shoe. The circumstance of expansion has made it diffi
cult to become a plus .500 coach. Tom's regular season record is
56-63-5 and an 11-3 season would rectify that.
It would be fitting if this were the season as Landry will be
celebrating his 20th anniversary in professional football And it is
even more fitting that when the Cowboys do win that Tom should
be the field architect as he is a native Texan.
Tom was bom in Mission, Texas, in 1924 and becan^ an all-
Regional fullback prior to enrolling at the University of Texas.
He was at Texas only one semester before going into the Air
Force. He spent the bulk of. his service time in England where he
flew 30 missions as a B-17 pilot for the Eigh^ Air Force.
Following his discharge in November of 1945, Tom returned to
Texas where he carved out a solid scholastic and football career for
the Longhorns. His stay there was marked by some of the strongest
teams in Texas' history. He was co-captam his senior year and
second team all-Southwest Conference his junior year. Landry was
a mainstay on the Longhorn teams which whipi^d Alal^ma in the
1948 Suga? Bowl, 27-7, and Georgia in the 19^ Orange Bo%yl, 41-28.
In 1949 Landiw joined the old New York Yankees, playing half
back. both offensively and defensively. When the.^wo leagues merged
in 1950 Landry began his long association with the Giants and
bee-an building the solid reputation he holds today.
He was an active player from 1950 through 1953 and player-coach
in 1954 and 1955, handling the Giants' defense. As a player, he was
a defensive halfback in Steve Owens' famed umbrella pass defense,
and he played it well enough to be named to the All-Pro defensive
team in 1954. In 1956 he retired as a player and became the full-
Giants enjoyed some of their greatest successes during
Landry's stay with them. They lost a playo£ to Cleveland in 1950
for the Eastern Division championship. In 1956, Landry s first year
as a full-time coach, the Giants won the world championship in a
47-7 rout over the Chicago Bears. They won the division title in
1958 and 1959, after which Giant head coach, Jim Lee Howell called
Landry "the best defensive coach in the business. During Landry's
tenure as full-time defensive coach, the Giants fashioned a 33-14-1
record in regular league play. , . „ . , . ,,
Before moving here, he lived in Houston during the off-season.
Landry received an industrial engineering degree from University of
Houston in 1952 and was employed there as an engineer.
Landry enters his 20th professional football season this year and
the way his contract reads, he'll still be with the Cowboys when
he enters his 25th season. On Febiniary 5, 1964, Cowboys' owner,
Clint Murchison, Jr., announced he had signed Landry to a contract
running through the 1974 season. It was the longest contract in the
history of pro sports, as well as newsmen could deteiTnine.
"It's in line with my philosophy that when you get a good man you
want to hold on to him," Murchison explained.
Tom devotes what little non football and family time he has in
the off-season to work with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
At Texas Tom met his wife, Alicia, and they were married in
January, 1949, four months before he received a bachelor of bus
iness- administration degree. They have three children, Tom, Jr., Kitty
and Lisa. Young Tom is attending Duke on a football scholarship.

ANDRIE, GEORGE Defensive End Marquette
Hf: 6-7 Wf: 250 Bom: 4-20-40 8th Yeor (D-6 for *62)

PRO: Andrie, along with side^ck Bob Lilly, has opened a foot
ball school for kids. At the opening, Andrie was reflecting on his
play as a youngster: "What I remember is how the little guys kept
running aroimd me. I always thought I was just as fast and quick
as any of the other kids. What I was, was bigger, period." Times
change. Now a seven-year veteran, Andrie is still altering that.
Just last season Pittsburgh tackle John Brown said he had pever
seen Andrie as quick as he is now. The result is he and Lilly repre
sent as tough a tandem as there is in the league. He played on the
left side at first, then was moved along side Lilly. The response was
immediate and effective. The Cowboys annually are close to the top
in trapping the quarterback and Andrie is the leader. Andrie has
excellent speed for his size which is considerable. In the 1967 cham
pionship in Green Bay, Andrie scored one of two Cowboys touchdowns
when he picked up a ball knocked loose from Bart Starr and scored
from the seven-yard line.
COLLEGE: Missed his entire senior season when Marquette
dropped organized football, yet the Cowboys took him in the 6th
round. Played end in college under Coaches Lisle Blackbourne and
John Druze.
PERSONAL: Native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he at
tended Catholic Central. Married Mai-y Lou Lorscheider of Waukesha
Wisconsin. They have two boys — George, 5 and Michael, 4 and
another baby is due just before the start of this season. George
makes his home in Dallas where he is co-director of Lilly-Andrie
School of Fundamental Football and board member of Professional
Enterprises.

Larry played a major role in his team's establishing a NAIA
offense record of over 5,000 yards this season. Larry rushed 96
times for 648 yards and four touchdowns and caught 61 passes for
1,202 yards and 12 TD's. A four-year regular, he started out as a
quarterback in the freshman eligible school and as a sophomore

BAYNHAM, CRAIG Running Back Georgia Tech
Hf: 6-1 Wf: 202 Born: 7-24-44 3rd Year (D-12 for '66)

PRO: Baynham, who says as a rookie two years ago, "I worried
about the mistakes I might make and went right out and made them,"
gained considerable confidence in his second season last year. It
came with being a regular for the bulk of the last two-thirds of the
season after regular Dan Reeves was lost for the season in game No.
4 at St. Louis. In addition to the confidence he also gained something
else — an ability to set up blockers — as guard John Wilbur
explained. "I could see it in their (would be tacklers) eyes. Craig
got them leaning the wrong way. That makes it so much easier for
us." . . . They leaned the wrong way enough for 438 yards rushing
last season for a 4.3 yard average. He also caught 29 passes (third
most in the club) for three touchdowns, making eight total. His
good year could have been due partially to the fact foes weren't
looking for him. "It's a peculiar thing about the league," says Tom
Landry."A fellow has to put in a full good season before the defenses
really start taking him into account." But his year was also due to
speed (4.6), size (6-1 and 206) and good hands. Baynham does not
hide the fact he wants Reeves' job when Reeves is healthy, too. "My
ambition is to make the Pro Bowl eveiy year and you can't do that
unless you start," he says simply. Baynham scored three TD's in
the Eastern Playoff game in 1967.
COLLEGE: An outstanding sprinter at. Georgia Tech, his 9.6
stood as a school record until last year. A two-year regular as a
wingback, he caught 30 passes and set school record of seven touch
downs as a junior. He captained the track team and was a student
leader during his stay. He played in both the Gator and Orange
Bowls. Injuries hampered his senior season.
PERSONAL: Craig and his wife, Marti, live in Dallas where
he is employed by Financial Seiwice Corporation. He is quite active
in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and other religious activities.
The Baynhams have two children. Wade, born April 4, 1966 and
Matt, bom December 1, 1967.

BELDEN, BOB Quarterback Notre Dame
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 205 Born: 6-20-47 1st Year (D-12 for '69)

A reserve quarterback at Notre Dame for three seasons, Belden

has size, intelligence and a strong arm going for him, plus the fact
he's a capable drop back passer. Bob was an outstanding high school
player, making All-Ohio at Canton. A member of the Blue Circle
Honor Society, Bob played well when called upon and he had plus
statistics in something of a mop-up role for the Irish.

BENHARDT, ELMER Linebacker Missouri

Ht: 6-3 Wt: 223 Born: 2-10-47 1st Year (D-8 for '69)
Mobile and tough, Benhardt will face the test of conversion. He
was a regular defensive end for three seasons for Missouri, but will
be tried as a linebacker by the Cowboys. He was credited with 10
tackles behind the line his senior season and registered five traps
in great effort against Alabama in the Gator Bowl. A Physical
Therapy major, which caused Cowboys trainer Don Cochren to
remark, "We've got to find a spot for this guy. We need help there,
too." He has 5.05 speed.

BURKETT, JACKIE Linebacker Auburn

Hf: 6-4 Wf: 228 Bom: 12-16-36 9fh Year (D-1 for *59)
as future

PRO: Acquired in a trade with New Orleans for Jim Boeke,

Burkett was brought in to supply much needed depth at linebacker.
And no doubt he would have done that had he not been injured him
self and missed the bulk of the season. It was a continuation of the
misfortune which had plagued him since the beginning of his career.
His ability is unquestioned and when at full speed can play with the
best. He was a regular at one time for Baltimore and again in 1967
for New Orleans who took him from the Colts in the expansion draft.
COLLEGE: Burkett twice made All-America at Auburn and was
drafted No. 1 as a future. He was also drafted by the New York
Titans.
PERSONAL: A forestry major, Jackie now makes his home in
New Orleans and is president of Saints Extenninators, Inc. and does
some general construction work. He and his wife, Jacqueline, have
three children — Jay, bom October 8, 1958, Jon, bom February 5, 1961
and Jud, bom January 20, 1968.

CLARK, PHIL Cornerback Northwestern

Ht: 6-2 Wt: 207 Bom: 4-28-45 3rd Year (D-3 for '67)
PRO: Except for a stint during his rookie season when he filled
in for Mel Renfro at safety, Phil's first two seasons have been mostly
a learning process. But perhaps his time is not far away, at least
the coaches think so: "We believe that Phil is a much improved
player," Landry says. "I'd like to see him force us to find a place for
him." Clark has size and speed to be a good one.
COLLEGE: The fastest man on the Northwestern team, he was
an all-Big Ten selection and made second team All-America. Big, he
played roving linebacker as a j'unior before moving into deep spot
for senior year. He intercepted three passes as senior. Played in
East-West game and Hula Bowl.
PERSONAL: A native of Cincinnati, Clark spent part of the
off-season in Evanston, Illinois, where he was a sales representative
for a manufacturing concern and a wholesale distributor for Auto
motive PerfoiTnance, Inc. The rest of the summer he spent in officer
training school.

 COLE, LARRY Defensive End Hawaii
Ht: 6-4 Wf: 255 Bora: 11-15-46 2nd Yeor (D-16 for '68)

PRO: Aside from being the only player ever drafted from the
University of Hawaii, Laiiy has a couple of other distinctions. For
one, he played more than any other 16th round selection. For anothei',
he drew considerable comment from Landry, difficult for a rookie to
do. "He's no Bob Lilly, of course. But he is so strong," says Landry.
"The combination you seldom find is strength and quickness. Cole
isn't all that quick. But he may be quick enough. He also has an
instinct you can't coach. He moves on the ball in mysterious ways.
This is a thing you don't see a lot. When a youngster has it, that's
good. Because the only substitute for those who don't is playing
experience." Cole got his chance to play last year when veteran
Willie Townes injured his leg and was pretty much imfit from game
No. 3 on. On one play at Minnesota, his pass rush forced an inter
ception by Cornell Green. Cole then picked himself up and made over
to the sidelines to throw the key block for Green to i-un all the way
back with a TD. Cole also scored two TD's, one on an interception
and one with a fumble.
COLLEGE: Lany was one of the better traveled collegians. After
a strong high school career, he enrolled at Air Force. But during the
cribbing scandals he failed to turn in a classmate and was forced to
leave. He tried Houston for less than a semester and then wound up
at Hawaii.
PERSONAL: Larry is a native of Granite Falls, Minnesota, also
the home of Les Josephson. Larry answers to the name of Joe Palooka
for obvious reasons. He attended University of Minnesota in the off
season and married Linda Kleinert shortly before camp opened.

CONRAD, BOBBY JOE Flanker Texas A&M

Hf: 6-2 Wt: 200 Bora: 11-7-35 12th Year (D-5 for *58)
PRO: The seventh all-time pass receiver in the NFL with 418
catches, Conrad came to the Cowboys shortly before training camp
opened in a trade for a draft choice with St. Louis. Conrad had spent
his entire career there and, in fact, has a string of 148 consecutive
games alive. Conrad went into the league as a defensive back, played
there one season and moved into the backfield for three more before
becoming a fixture at flanker. He caught at least one pass in 93
consecutive games, missing the record of 94 held by Don Hutson.
Conrad played in the Pro Bowl in 1965. His biggest season came in
1963 when he caught 78 passes.
COLLEGE; Bobby Joe played for Bear Bryant at Texas A&M
where he was a collegiate quarterback, halfback and end. And he
was a good kicker. In fact, he set the College All-Star game scoring
record with 15 points, three conversions and four field goals.

16
 PERSONAL: Conrad and his wife, Betty, have two children and
make their home in Clifton, Texas, where he owns a farm and, until
recently, had a store. He was a prep star at Clifton.

DANIELS. DICK Safety Pacific U. (Oregon)

Ht: 5-9 Wf: 180 Born: 10-19-44 4th Year (FA for '66)

PRO: Daniels, a free agent and the last man signed in 1966,
matured in the 1968 training camp and before the season was out
was a regular. A specialty teamer, only, for two seasons Daniels was,
in Landry's view, "the highlight of training camp." He was injured
in the pre-season, however, and out for four weeks. But when he
returned he was a factor in the moving of Mel Renfro to corner-
back as he took over the free safety role. He also used his speed as
an asset in running back kickoffs.

COLLEGE: Was two-year All-Northwest Conference halfback

choice at Pacific and made the All-District NAIA team . . . Majored
in P. E.

PERSONAL: A native of Portland, Oregon, Dick is single and

lives in Dallas in the off-season where he is a partner of Mel Renfro
in Mel Renfro Enterprises.

 DITKA, MIKE Tight' End Pittsburgh
Ht: 6-3 Wt: 228 Bom: 10-18-39 9th Year (D-1 for '61)

PRO: Once upon a time Mike Ditka was the most feared tight
end in football. The Cowboys not only know that story to be true,
but also believe it can be continued. That's why they brought the
rugged stockbroker in from Philadelphia to battle Pettis Norman,
an equally rugged banker, for the tight end job. In the trade the
youthful David McDaniel, the No. 2 draft pick of
Chicago Bears in 1961, made
All-Pro his first four seasons while catching 56, 58, 59 and 75 passes.

ANDRIE BAYNHAM BURKETT M. CLARK P. CLARK

EAST, RON Defensive Tackle Montana State

Ht: 6-4 Wt: 242 Born: 8-26-43 3rd Year (FA for *67)

PRO: In the last two seasons, the Cowboys have brought in two
rookie defensive linemen — Ron East and Lan-y Cole. And each has
gotten off to a fast stai-t. In his first season in 1967 East was a
free agent who got his opportunity when Willie Townes was injured
in the pre-season. He played a lot and perfonned well. But as Lan-
dry says, the second year is a different matter. This season will
tell for East. He would be hai'd to count out. His major assets are
aggressiveness and hustle.
COLLEGE: As a 212-pound collegiate lineman. East didn't have
too much chance of playing. But he went on a heavy work and eat
diet and moved up to 247 pounds. A (Cowboys scout who had dis
counted him earlier, decided he should be looked at again. He stuck.
PERSONAL: Worked as a salesman in the off-season in Montana.
Married to the former Marcia Moen and they have one daughter.
Erica Ann, born March 9, 1969.

EDWARDS, DAVE Linebacker Auburn

Ht: 6-1 Wt: 228 Born: 12-14-39 7th Year (FA for '62)

PRO: Edwards is involved in a slight alteration of the Cowboys

defense this season. He'll be playing on the strong side at all times.
"We like this," Landry says. "For Dave is one of our most solid per
formers." Edwards has been a regular for four seasons, but it wasn't
until the 1967 season he began to exhibit the star qualities he does
now. His explanation is a simple one: "Everything started to come
clear to me. So much of the time I knew what was going to happen."
Edwards came to the Cowboys as a free agent receiver after a good
career at Aubum. But he flunked his first try on offense, but made
it a year later on defense. Edwards has good speed and is extremely
strong.
COLLEGE: All-SEC end at Auburn in '61, Da,ve played under
Ralph Jordan . . . has a degree in physical education.
PERSONAL: Bom in Columbia, Alabama, grew up in Abbeville,
Alabama. Married Gail Toomey of Miami, Florida, in 1967. Dave
lives in Dallas where he has gone into partnership in a class beauty
salon called House of the Turtle. Dave and his wife have one son,
Chris, bom April 11, 1969.

FLOWERS. RICHMOND Safety-WR Tennessee

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 183 Born: 6-13-47 1st Year (D-2 for '69)
"Now," says Cowboys coach Tom Landry, "we'll see how fast
Hayes is. That's one of the reasons we drafted Flowers. Hayes has
never had to run before." There were, of course, other reasons. For
instance, as a sophomore. Flowers caught 35 passes for 407 yards
and five TD's. As a junior he caught 41 for 585 and four TD's. His
senior season he caught only 25 for 180 and seven TD's. But that
was because he was switched his final season frorh a wide receiver
to tailback. He rushed 111 times for 375 yards. And all three seasons,
he had good kickoff return averages. During his three seasons at
Tennessee under Doug Dickey had 8-3, 9-2 and 8-2-1 records. Flowers'
track records are also outstanding. He runs the low hurdles in 13.3,
the 60-yard dash in 6.0, the 100 in 9.3 and the high hurdles indoors
in 6.9. A liberal arts major. Flowers is the son of the Richmond
Flowers who was the former attorney general of Alabama. He was
one of the most heralded prep stars to ever come out of the South,
having been an outstanding athlete at Sidney Lanier High in Mont
gomery, Alabama.

GAECHTER, MIKE Safely Oregon

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 190 Born: 1-9-40 8th Year (FA for '62)
PRO: There is little doubt, but what Mike will be the No. 1
booster for all clubs to use the artificial tuiT. He has what could
best be described as an occupational hazard: he is allergic to grass.
That he has overcome this to become an NFL star would be enough,
but he has overcome other things, too. Perhaps the biggest thing
was a small war with the Cowboys no farther back than 1965. The
super fast, strong safety who lost his job in 1965 was mad, and told
club brass he wanted to be traded. It was discussed and decided he
would go to camp once more. It is undeterminable who is more the
delighted with the decision: the Cowboys or Gaechter. Because of
the system of defense, Mike for the most part does not share in the
spotlight as he should and as a result is perhaps the most undemated
player on the club. Not to all, however. Says Eagles General Manager

GARRISON. WALT Running Back Oklahoma State

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 205 Born: 7-23-44 4th Year (D-S for "66)

PRO: Like many of the better rookies, the year Walt came up
he played in the College All-Star game. When he got to camp, he
noted it would take a full day just to thumb through a playbook, let
alone read it. "Football is fun, but I'm gonna like it a lot more after
I learn all them damn plays," Walt allowed. Walt has learned all
them dammed plays, plus a lot more. And now that Don Perkins has
ended his career, Walt is expected to step in and be a better fullback
than most people realize. "Garrison has made a tremendous improve
ment in his blocking," says backfield coach Ermal Allen. "You know,
he's already got that quick start and he breaks tackles well and he's
an excellent receiver, great hands. Now he's blocking well, too." Walt
has two hobbies. One is rodeoing which everyone thought was dan
gerous. The other is magic which all agreed was not. One day last
summer Walt was doing his "trick" which calls for him to blow fire
out of his mouth. He wound up in the hospital. "Tell me, Walt," said
a caller. "Just what exactly is that trick you do?" "I donT do it
anymore!" Walt said.
COLLEGE: All-time star at Oklahoma State . . . two-time all-
Big Eight selection . . . rushed for 730 yards as junior and 924 as
senior, including 121 against unbeaten Nebraska and 173 against
Kansas State . . . played in East-West and Senior Bowl games.
PERSONAL: A native Texan from Lewisville, Walt returned to
school in the off-season. Married Dallasite Pam Phillips and they
have one son, Phillip Martin, bom in June.

GREEN, CORNELL Cornerback Utah State

Ht: 6-3 Wt: 205 Born: 2-10-40 8th Year (FA for *62)

PRO: Late in the 1968 season some fan at a luncheon asked

Cornell who were the toughest receivers he*d faced. Green started
rattling off the list: "Carroll Dale, Charley Taylor, Gary Collins,
Jei*ry Smith, Clif McNeil, Henry Schultz . ." "Henry Schultz?"
the fan interrupted. "I never heard of him." "Me neither," said
Cornell, "but right now he'd be tough, too." The exchange came at
the end of what has to be described as a slump, which in the All-
Pro's case means only that a couple of passes were completed on him.
The cause, it was determined, by Green and the coaches, was that
he had become a little heavy, about nine pounds. Also, he was get
ting more action what with Mel Renfro on the other side. "I do get
a bit more business," he says. "You know, if you haven't had any
work in three years you do get a bit rusty." A slight exaggeration,
but not much. Green's great career has been a product of his tre
mendous quickness, concentration, confidence and pain tolerance which
makes it hard to get him out of there. Green has been All-Pro for
three years and in the Pro Bowl for four in a row. Green was a great
basketball player for Utah State and came into football as a free

ag^ent, making him one of the great bargains of all time. "I don't
think basketball was any hindrance," he says. "You come into the
league and everybody has it all to learn anyway, whether they know
it or not. And basketball may have helped my quickness." Teams with
Mike Gaechter to make excellent rush team against kicks.
COLLEGE: Skipped collegiate football to concentrate on basket
ball, averaging over 20 points a game in each of 3 seasons . . .

HAGEN, HALVOR Defensive End Weber State

Hr: 6-5 Wt: 250 Born: 2-4-47 1st Year (D-3 for '691

"All of his football is ahead of him," says coach Tom Landry.

Hagen played only one season at Ballard High in Seattle, one season
at Shoreline Community Junior College and two seasons at Weber
State. From spring ball until the start of the season his junior year,
Hagen went from 210 pounds to 240. He added 10 more for his senior
year. He has good speed at 5.0 and is recognized as a "hitter". He's
a business administration major, likes to ski, and has a private pilot's
license. He's single.
HAYES, BOB Wide Receiver Florida A&M
Hf: 5-n Wf: 185 Bom: 12-20-42 Sfh Year (D-7 for '65)

PRO: Sam Huff, as a player, once discussed Hayes: "Sure we

can stop Hayes by overloading our defenses on him. Say the Cow
boys have 63 plays. We can stop him on 60. On the other three he's
liable to beat you. Now suppose we put the outside linebacker on him
at the line of scrimmage to knock him down. The cornerback covers
him on the outside, and maybe he bumps him a little more. The free
safety takes him if he comes across the middle deep. Unfortunately,
in this case, there are other Cowboys who can score." Teammate
Dan Reeves put it differently: "If he never catches a pass, he's worth
a couple of touchdowns." Said Tex Schramm: "The remarkable thing
about Hayes is that he does something outstanding in every game.
Something different each time." This is the picture of Hayes, who
has scored — on pass receptions —12, 13, 10 and 10 touchdowns in
his four years in the league. In addition, he's scored one rushing and
three on punt returns, two of them last season. As a receiver, only
Don Hutson caught more in his first four seasons. He bagged 47
to Hayes' 45 in the first four years. But what Hayes has also done
is force so much double coverage that flanker Lance Rentzel has
also been right at the top among NFL receivers the last two years.
Hayes has been All-Pro once and missed the Pro Bowl only once in
his time in the league. "Hayes is our game breaker," says Landry.
"Even if most teams double team Bobby, we still have to hit him."
COLLEGE: Mixed football with track at Florida A&M where he
became famous as "World's Fastest Human", set world records in
both 100-yard and 100-meter dashes .. . won 1964 Olympic loo
meters. He was drafted as future in 1963, he signed after 1964
Olympics, was named to College All-Star game.
PERSONAL: Born in Jacksonville, Florida, where he grew up
and played football (halfback) and track (best sprint time 9.6
one of three children. Married to former Altamease Martin of New
Bi-unswick, New Jersey. Partners with Pete Gent in National
Graphics Printing Service. Bob and his wife have one adopted daugh
ter, Adrienne LaRori, born December 31, 1968.

HILL, CALVIN Running Back Yale
Hf: 6-3 Wt: 230 Born: 1-2-47 1st Yeor (D-1 for *69)

"Hill is a gi-eat athlete and certainly has a chance to be a super

star," says coach Tom Landry. "I'm very, vei-y excited. When you
pick as late as we did (24th) and get a guy in this category I think
it's tremendous." Landry says Hill, who has 4.6 speed, has three
shots — running back, tight end or linebacker. He rushed for 1,512
yards during his career, caught passes for 858 and threw for 298. A
native of Baltimore, he attended Riverdale Country School in the
Bronx where he was a T-fonnation quarterback. As a freshman he
scored five touchdowns against Princeton. He kicked in high school
and once in practice kicked a 52-yard field goal. The History major
holds the Yale records for broad jump (25-iy2) and the triple jump
(51-5^/4). During his career Yale enjoyed 4-5, 8-1 and 8-0-1 records.
He is interested in the ministry. "Hill hits three times as hard as
Jimmy Brown did when he was at Syracuse," says former Columbia
coach Buff Donelli. "He can do everything and his blocking is out
standing," says Colgate coach Neil Wheelwiight.

HOMAN, DENNIS Flanker Alabama

Hf: 6-1 Wt: 181 Born: 1-9-46 2nd Year (D-1 for •68)
PRO: Homan played in the College All-Star game and lost
considerable ground last year. As a result he was used sparingly
and caught only four passes. Homan shows great promise, however,
and should be solid back-up for Lance Rentzel. He was also looked
at as a kick return man. Alabama coach Bear Bryant called him
a "truly great receiver," adding: "If he can touch it, he can catch
it." He can run a 4.6 40.
COLLEGE: Played on three straight bowl teams — Orange, Sugar
and Cotton. He teamed one year with Ray Perkins of Baltimore. In
his three seasons, excluding bowls, he caught 87 passes for 1,495
yards and 18 touchdowns.
PERSONAL: From Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Dennis is married
to the former Charlotte Tomlinson of Jackson, Alabama. They have
one child, Dennis Matthew born November 20, 1968. Dennis spent
the off-season in basic training for the Air National Guard at San
Antonio.

 HOWLEY, CHUCK Linebacker West Virginia
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 225 Born: 6-28-36 11th Year (D-1 for '58)

PRO: After several years of wearing his hair in a crew cut,

Chuck has decided to wear it long. Presumably it is so people will
not consider him so young. After all, he is 33 and the Cowboys vet
of vets in point of NFL time. But anyone watching him would not
know it. Last year he scampered around like a small boy, picking
off six passes and making big plays everywhere. "I feel younger,
quicker and faster," he says. "People . . . writers and evei^ybody
... keep telling me I'm older. I keep telling them I don't agree.
They say I'm losing speed and I just try to show them I'm not."
Cotton Bowl fans cannot erase the memory of Howley catching
Leroy Kelly from behind a season back. Once he returned a fumble
97 yards for a TD. In 1969 he will be playing the weak side on every
play, alternating as necessary with Dave Edwards. This career is
not bad considering he was about through before he started. Injured
shortly after being drafted by the Chicago Bears, he went home and
got into the service station business. But the Cowboys gave a second
round choice for him and he has become a Pro Bowl fixture.

COLLEGE: Was a rarity of rarities—a five-sport lettennan—at

West Vir^nia, where as a junior in '56 he won letters in football,
track, swimming, gymnastics and wrestling . . . Was a 10.1 sprinter
in track and one-meter Southern Conference diving champ . . . 3-year
All-Conf. as guard, center, and linebacker and All-America center
in '57.

PERSONAL: Bom in Wheeling, W. Va., and gi-ew up in War-

wood, where he was all-state fullback . .. Married childhood friend
Nancy Welch in 1958 . . . they have two children, 7-year-old Scott
and 3-year-old Robin . . . owns his own dry cleaning center in Dallas.

HOWLEY JOHNSON

JOHNSON, MIKE Cornerback Kansas

Ht: 5-11 Wt; 184 Born: 10-7-43 4th Year (FA for '66)

PRO: After coming on strong to take a starting job in 1967,

Mike was the victim of an over-all change in the Cowboys secondary
midway in the 1968 season. Free safety Mel Renfro was moved to the
right cornerback job and Dick Daniels was made safety. As a result,
Mike was back on the bench, but the question might be for how
long. He is a genuine "hitter" and has tremendous recovery speed
(4.7). A free agent, the youthful Kansan has a strong future as he
moves into his fourth season, as his five interceptions in 1967 will
attest. He took thi'ee more in 1968. Said Fran Tarkenton after an
encounter with Johnson: "They said work on Mike Johnson. In my
opinion Johnson is first rate and fixin' to be one of the best in the
league."

COLLEGE: Played with Gale Sayers at Kansas for Jack Mitchell

. . . scored final two points to enable KU to defeat Oklahoma, 15-14
. . . tough two-way player in college.

PERSONAL: Born in Denver, Colorado, but played high school

ball at Garden City, Kansas, and was much sought after prep . . .
majored in jewelry and design and works at it professionally. Works
as a salesman for Earl Hayes in the off-season.

 JORDAN, LEE ROY Linebacker Alabama
Hf: 6-1 Wt; 218 Born: 4-27-41 7th Year (D-1 for *63)

PRO: Dallas partisans find it most frustrating, this idea of

watching their middle linebacker go unnoticed because of the Nobises
and the Butkuses. "There is no one playing it any better than Lee
Roy," his teammates say. Trouble is, he weighs 218 pounds and there
is a theoiy a guy that size can't play it as well as a bigger guy.
Now the defensive signal caller, the aggressive hitter has reached
the same heights in the NFL he achieved in college under Bear
Bryant of Alabama. "Lee Roy takes it mighty personal when any
body comes at him with a football," the Bear said. "I mean down
town, in the backyard or in your living room." Jordan has played in
two straight Pro Bowls and likely will become a fixture just as his
running mate Chuck Howley has. Aside from being a striker, Lee
Roy possesses excellent speed and most of all, football instinct.
COLLEGE: Named nation's outstanding lineman his senior year
at Alabama . . . capped All-America season by making 31 tackles vs.
Oklahoma in '63 Orange Bowl . . . went on to College All-Star game
. . . Bear Bryant called him the best linebacker he had ever coached.
PERSONAL: Bom in Excel, Alabama, one of 7 children . . .
grew up as Excel farmboy and excelled as high school fullback . . .
married to the former Mary Banks of Tuscaloosa and they have a 3
year old boy, David and Patrick Lee, born May 23, 1968. Lee Roy
lives in Dallas and is in the restaurant business in Tuscaloosa and
Dallas.

Ken is back for a second try after working on the taxi squad last

A co-captain, he was All-Big Ten and was voted the most courageous

KYLE, CHUCK Linebacker Purdue

Ht: 6-1 Wf: 220 Born: 9-25-47 1st Year (D-5 for '69)
A three-year regular for the Boilermakers, Chuck was a UPI
All-America as a middle guard and played in the East-West and
Hula Bowl games. He was a good shot putter in high school at High
lands High in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, where he also won a state high
school diving championship. The Cowboys also have another diving
champion at linebacker in Chuck Howley. Kyle has 4.95 speed. He's
married and a B student in industrial economics. He wears a special
oi'der helmet size 8%. He was bom in Covington, Kentucky.

LILLY. BOB Defensive Tackle TCU

Ht: 6-5 Wt: 260 Born: 7-26-39 9th Year (D-1 for "61)
PRO: "Nobody" says Tom Landry "is as quick as Lilly. A Lilly
comes along once in a lifetime. The hardest combination to find in a
defensive lineman is quickness and strength. You're talking about
Lilly and Deacon Jones." Similar statements have been issued by
friend and foe alike for sometime now and there appears no reason
to believe it will change for Lilly who has made All-Pro five straight
times. In fact the maturity of Jethro Pugh, the other tackle, and the
stabilizing of the left end position should make it all the better.
Somewhere there has to be a slowing of the double and triple team
ing. As much as his play impresses Landry, there is something even
more impressive: "Although he's been an outstanding tackle for a
long time," says Landi-y, "Bob does nothing but _ get better every
year." Perhaps the explanation comes from his view of the game:
"You know I really like football. I mean I really LIKE it, if you
know what I mean. I like the challenge that's there every week."
He understands the game in other ways, too. "Your moves or nothing
else are going to work until you run over a few people first. You've
got to stomp your guys into the ground a few times to get then-
respect. Then the moves may work." A first round draft choice who
started his career as an end and moved to tackle after a season,
Lilly has no problems except not winning the championship. "Right
now, the only thing I dread is getting too old to play," he says.
COLLEGE: All-American tackle at TCU, where he was two-time
all-SWC choice, with defense his specialty . . . played in College
All-Star game . . . Abe Martin called him the best tackle he had
coached . . . nicknamed "Purple Cloud" at TCU.
 PERSONAL: Bom in Throckmoi-ton, Texas, and lived there all
his young life except as high school senior when the family moved to
Pendleton, Oregon . . . Made All-State teams in both football (end)
and basketball for Pendleton . . . married to the former Katharine
Waltman of Fort Worth and they have three children — Bob, Jr.,
bom July 19, 1962, Katharine, bom March 22, 1964 and Christienne,
bom July 21, 1965. Bob lives in Dallas in the off-season and is a
Director in Professional Enterprises Corpoiation of Arlington.

Tony wastaken
tried
on defense and harely missed, going on last cut. Dallas picked him
up and made an offensive player out of him. He played some in
1963 and in 1964 was as good an offensive lineman as the Cowboys
had. But he was hurt late in the season and had surgery. Complica
tions kept him out the entire 1965 season. But in 1966, playing at
guard, he was runner-up in the voting for the Comeback Player of
the year behind Dick Bass. A strong pass blocker, he has good speed.

back home in Dallas where he played in 1965 and 1966 before going to
New Orleans in the expansion draft. Signed as a defensive player,
Obert had a fling at offense, went to defense and will give offense
another try this season. He was the Saints regular safety in 1967.
COLLEGE: A four-year regular for Trinity, playing two as a
halfback and two as a flanker. A three-time All-Texas college pick.
PERSONAL: Obert is a bachelor and makes his home in Dallas

MANDERS, DAVE Center Michigan State

Ht: 6-2 Wt: 250 Born: 2-20-41 5th Year (FA for *62)

PRO: Mandy has four active seasons under his belt in the NFL,
but he has had more highs and lows than most 10-year vets. We'll
start with high which was the Pro Bowl berth after the 1966 season.
Before and since are something else. A free agent he reported to the
Cowboys camp, then in Michigan, in 1962 and became so distressed
he hitch-hiked home. After that there were two minor league seasons
before he made it with the (jowboys in 1964. In 1965 his quickness
and blocking ability made him a regular and in 1966 he was about to
make believers of everyone. Then after his big year, he was hurt
in a pre-season game in San Francisco and sat out the entire 1967
season. In 1968, a foot infection delayed his start at training camp
and he lost his job to Malcolm Walker. So a comeback is in order.
But it would be hard to count him out. "When we're ti-ying to tell
if a player is really putting out," says backfield coach Ermal Allen,
"we compare him with Manders, because we know Manders is always
giving you 100 per cent."
COLLEGE: A top two-way lineman at Michigan State under
Duffy Daughei-ty .. . played center and was named honorable men
tion All-America as senior.
PERSONAL: Native of Milwaukee, he was schoolboy star at
Kinsford, Michigan . . . Married to the former Betty Ashenbrenner in
'61 and has two children — Mark, 7, and Mike, 4 . . . lives in Dallas
in the off-season and sells time for KBOX radio.

 MORTON, CRAIG Quarterback California
Hf: 6-4 Wt: 215 Born: 2-5-43 5th Year (D-1 for '65)

PRO: "A true athlete is ready to meet any challenge. I'm con-
fident I can handle it." This was Morton's view after the 11th hour
decision by Don Meredith to retire and leave the quarterbacking
duties in the hands of Morton and Roger Staubach. But even before
Mere^th had decided to retire, Morton had said: "Don is one of my
favorite people, but I'm going to camp with an entirely different
attitude. I'm going to camp to win the job. I want it. I think I'm
ready for it. I thought I was last season." If there was one word
which wrapped up the Morton feeling going into camp it was
excited". "Morton is in his fifth year and is gi-eatly improved,"
says Landry. "He should make a good one." "I think the big recent
improvement in Craig is that he's now gained leadership qualities,"
says pass offense coach Ray Renfro. "Morton takes over." "I have
no doubt he'll do a first class job like Don has done for us in the
past," says Pettis Norman. Big and strong Morton possesses the
super arm, is durable and hard to bring down. An adequate scrambler,
he can be effective both as a roll out and drop back man. In almost
all instances he has acquitted himself well in regular season games.
His only real test last season came in the Chicago Bears game and
the Cowboys, in that first half, generated a ton of offense, piling up
362 yards. Morton threw for 181 yards. Morton was a No. 1 draft
choice and wooed heavily by A1 Davis of Oakland who also drafted
him.

COLLEGE: All-American QB at Califomia in '64, Morton was

three-year regular for Bears under Coaches Mai-v Levy and Rav
Willsey ... As senior, he hit 185 of 308 for 2,121 yards and 13 TDs
. . . ranked second to Jerry Rhome in NCAA passing . . . spurned
big baseball bonus to go pro football . . . played in All-Star game of
'65.
PERSONAL; Raised in Campbell, Calif., where he developed into
an all-state schoolboy in basketball, football and baseball ... he was
offered major college scholarships in all three sports . . . owns two
bookstores—one at Berkeley—and a sporting goods companv in
California. Lives in Dallas in off-season, but spends considerable time
on coast . . . bachelor.

NEELY, RALPH Tackle Oklahoma

Ht: 6-6 Wt: 265 Born: 9-12-43 5rh Year (D-2 for '65)

PRO: "Neely," says teammate Bob Lilly, "is the only player I've
seen who was never a rookie. He moved right in and did the job."
There have been few one-man additions who have meant more to a
club than Neely did in 1965. Since he played in the College All-Star
game he arrived in camp only a week prior to the first pre-season
game. He started playing immediately and hasn't stopped despite the
lengthy court proceedings with Houston which also drafted him,
along with Baltimore. Dallas traded Baltimore for the rights to
Neely. Ultimately, the squabble with Houston was settled after game
nine, but_ Dallas surrendered a first, second and two fifth round
draft choices among other considerations. "If I had it to do over,
I'd do the same thing," Tex Schramm said. He has become the
symbol of our offensive line. Neely, All-Pro the last three seasons,
has all the ingredients. "Neely is the finest offensive tackle I've
ever played against," Willie Davis of the Packers said after the 1966
title game.

COLLEGE: A two-time All-America tackle at Oklahoma, includ

ing consensus selection as a '64 senior . . . Lettered three years,
started in all 20 of his games as junior and senior . . . played at
6-5, 245 . . . double-majored in financing and accounting.
PERSONAL: Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, but raised in Far-
mington. New Mexico, where he was standout high school tackle and
center in basketball . . . married to the former Dianne Forte of Far-
mington and has one son. Dale, age 2 and a daughter, Dedra Ann,
born June 23rd of this year. Lives in Dallas in the off-season where
he runs Ralph E. Neely Enterprises, an oil and real estate investment
firm.

 NILANDa JOHN Guard Iowa
Ht: 6-3 Wt: 245 Born: 2-29-44 4fh Year (D-1 for '66)

Shortly after the 1968 season ended John was walking in

the downtown area when he spotted one man chasing another, the
one shouting, "Stop that man!" John set out in hot pursuit
and did in fact "stop that man" who turned out to be a jewelry thief.
As the jeweliy thief discovered, it was not a year to mess with
Niland. For in that third season, which, as they say, turned out to be
a chann, the No. 1 draft choice of 1966 realized in part his potential.
He became a star and was a Pro Bowl selection. "The way he played
much of the time indicates he'll be an all-pro before long," Landry
says. A mild mannered sort, John has it all. He's big enough, fast
enough, quicker than enough and he has the proper approach to the
game. In a hammed up version of chasing the jewelry thief John
noted that he would have caught the guy sooner, but had to stop
in a phone booth and change into his super man clothes. This he did
in 1968.

COLLEGE: Three-year regular for Jerry Burns at Iowa . .. all-

America as senior, playing guard final two seasons after working
at fullback as sophomore ... played in East-West and Hula Bowls
.. . was Iowa school heavyweight weightlifting champion.
PERSONAL: Bom in Quincy, Massachusetts, grew up in Amitv-
ville, New York, majored in Political Science at Iowa. Married Iree
Van Cleve of Little Rock, Arkansas, in February 1967. John lives in
Dallas in the off-season and is a public relations man for KDTV-TV

NORMAN.PETTIS Tight End Johnson C. Smith

Ht: 6-3 Wt: 225 Bom: 1-4-39 8th Year (FA for -^j)
PRO: Tom Landiy, defensive players from throughout the Npt
and all who sit in the first rows are aware that Pettis blocks thp
way blocking is supposed to be done. But, enough is enough savs
Pettis. "Being recognized as a good blocking end is a nice compliment
but I'd like to be recognized as the best tight end, period. I'd hate
to have that blocking reputation embedded in everybody's mind so
much that they get the impression I'm not a receiver also." The

34
 problem confronting Pettis is not of his doing. Partly, it is the fact
that the Cowboys possess an outside tandem as good as there is and
as a result, throwing to the tight end is infrequent. And, in Dan
Reeves the Cowboys have a back.who catches a few, also. Partly, too,
it came from sharing duties with Frank Clarke prior to the 1968 sea
son. Not only can Pettis catch the ball and block, he can also run with
it. The Cowboys use the end around frequently and last year, he broke
once for 55 yards in a pre-season game against the Colts.
COLLEGE: A standout as end at little-known Johnson C. Smith,
where he was also top student ... in one '61 game, he caught 5
passes for 133 yards and two TDs and made 14 tackles . . . also
clocked a 9.7 time in the 100 in track.
PERSONAL: Bom in Lincolnton, Georgia, and grew up in Char
lotte, North Carolina . . . married to fomier Margaret Clinkscales of
Charlotte and they have two daughters, Sharneen, 5, and Sedonna, 2.
Pettis lives in Dallas in the off-season where he is a vice president in
the loan department of South Oak Cliff State Bank.

NYE, BLAINE Guard Stanford

Ht: 6-4 Wt: 255 Born: 3-29-46 2nd Year (D-5 for '68)

PRO: Rookie year in 1968 was mostly a learning process as he

had played his final two years in college as a defensive player. A
competitor with size, Nye has a chance to see more action in 1969.
COLLEGE: Nye had been an offensive player as a sophomore, but
four days before season opened his junior year he moved to defense
and immediately won a job. Nye has good size and speed.
PERSONAL: A physics major, Nye spent the last off-season as
a teaching assistant and graduate student in the physics department
at the University of Washington. From Santa Ana, California, Nye
and his wife, Annabelle, have one child, Melissa Madeline, bom
Febmary 6, 1968.

 PUGH, JETHRO Defensive Tackle Eiiz. City St. (N. C.)
Ht; 6-6 Wt: 260 Born: 7-3-44 5th Year (D-ll for '65)
PRO: Jethro is the classic example of patience. When the 11th
round pick from Elizabeth City State arrived in camp four years ago
he had size and little else. Today it is hard to find a better tackle
once you get past his running mate, Bob Lilly. Jethro is the first to
confirm that his rise to stardom has been enhanced tremendously by
Lilly's presence and the double and even triple teaming which goes
on there. Someone mentioned to Pugh last year that Lilly might
someday retire and he would draw what Lilly does. "Don't you know
I have ulcers?" Pugh asked. "Please don't mention anything to me
about Bob not being there." Pugh does have ulcers but seems to be
getting better now that his main concem is how quick he'll get to
the quarterback and not if he will. Ernie Stautner has proved a good
prophet: "He'll get aroused one of these days," Ernie has said "and
then you'll see a great one." Jethro divided time with Jim Colvin in
1966 and has been a regular the past two seasons.
COLLEGE: A two-year All-CIA A tackle at Elizabeth City State
College, he was also the team's most valuable lineman his senior
season . . . was first rookie to sign with Cowboys after '64 draff
(11th round).
PERSONAL: A native of Windsor, North Carolina, where he was
a schoolboy football star . . . Jethro married Dallasite Beverly Etter
in June of 1966 and they have one son, Jethro, III. Jethro is em
ployed by Ryan Mortgage Company.

REEVES, DAN Running Back South Carolina

Hf: 6-1 Wt: 200 Born: 1-19-44 5th Year (FA for '65)
PRO: In the off-season in Dallas, the Cowboys type talk was of
the competition there would exist at many of the positions. One of
them was the running back spot Reeves had held from early in 1966
until he was knocked out of the 1968 season in game four at St. Louis
Reeves shrugged. Competition was not new to him. A free agent who
had played quarterback in college, Dan was tried everywhere
secondary, as a receiver and as a running back. He made it big and
it is difficult to figure out the exact reason why. He is not particu
larly big nor is he particularly fast. "Reeves' great quality is one of
the intangibles of football," Landry says. "He just simply has the
knack for doing the right thing at the right time. It's a gift. Doak
Walker had it. Paul Hornung had it. But they were college All-
Americans. I had never heard of Reeves until he came to camp that
year." He has ordinary speed, but he does have, as Don Perkins says
"fantastic body control — whether he's running wide or straight into
the line." In running parlance, he is a glider, but in people parlance
Landry says: "He has a heart for the game." A major plus is his
strong knowledge of the total offense. And Reeves believes that his
playing at quarterback in college was a major asset to him learning
the game.

RENFRO, MEL Cornerback Oregon

Ht: 6-0 Wt: 190 Born: 12-30-41 6th Year (D-2 for '64)

PRO: In game No. 8 last year at New Orleans, Renfro who had
established himself as a super safety and, who might have done the
same as a running back had he not been bugged by injuries, was
moved to cornerback where he now teams with Cornell Green. He
may become the best in the league. "Now they are going to have a
problem knowing where to throw," says Landry. "Now they must
decide — Renfro or Green." It will not be an easy matter as Renfro
proved down the stretch and in the Pro Bowl last season. "When
Renfro's in there," says 49'ers coach Dick Nolan, "the opponent
doesn't only have to worry about him getting the ball, they have to
be very concerned with what he does with it when he gets it." 'The
risk of injury likely will prevent his return to kick return duties,
but in his career he has scored five touchdowns running kicks and
pass interceptions back. He has a 100-yard return against the 49'ers,
that on an opening kickoff.
COLLEGE: One of the all-time performers at Oregon as an
All-America halfback, also standout trackman with bests of 9.6 in
100, 13.8 in high hurdles and 25-11% in the broad jump . . . Played
in the 1964 All-Star game.
PERSONAL: Bom in Houston but grew up in Portland where
he was a legendary schoolboy athlete — all-state halfback and ver
satile trackman who set state records in both hurdle races and
broad jump. Married to former Patricia Burch of Portland and has
two boys, Mel, Jr., bom January 25, 1964, Tony, bom March 29, 1965
and a girl, Cindy, born March 14, 1968. Mel lives in Dallas in the
off-season where he owns a record shop and is partners with Dan
Reeves in Renfro-Reeves Enterprises which books various Cowboys
players for television and radio commercials and personal appearances

RENTZEL, LANCE Flanker Oklahoma

Ht: 6-2 Wt: 205 Bern: 10-14-43 5th Year (0-2 for '65)
PRO: Funding team parties has always been easy for the Cow
boys. First Willie Townes had weight problems. And when Wiir
solved these. Lance was having clock problems. An austerity proer
may be necessary, now, however, for Lance has taken himself a wi^^
namely Joey Heathei-ton. Presumably the curfew bending will slack
At one time Ernie Stautner, the Cowboys night watchman, sub-p-pc^^*
that Rentzel just fork over $1,000 in advance and draw on it for h'
fine money. As it turned out that nice round figure was about wht
Lance spent. Also, that nice round figure was about how many yavH
he gained, too. Rentzel, for the second year in as many tried wi?u
the Cowboys, led the club in catches (54) and for the first time i
yards (1,009). For the second straight year Rentzel has teamed wifu
Hayes to give the Cowboys one of the league's finest outside recei
ing sets. Rentzel is quick to give a lot of the credit to Hayes wk
continues to draw the double coverage. Rentzel is primarily a mov
receiver and relies more on quickness and a great flare for runniTf^
routes to get open. He does not boast any extreme speed. "He rnav
not have Hayes' speed," says Herb Adderly, "but he knows how to
get open." Rentzel came to the Cowboys from Minnesota two years

38
ago in exchange for a third round draft choice. Rentzel holds the
Cowboys record of 13 catches for 223 yards against Washington.
COLLEGE: All-Big Eight halfback at Oklahoma . . . broke into
college football in Cotton Bowl against Texas as sophomore . . .

Ht: 6-1 Wt: 206 Born: 4-5-44 4th Year (D-12 for *66)
PRO: Les logged considerably more playing time than he had in
his first two seasons, sharing with Craig Baynham the role of filling
in for Dan Reeves. Shy in fact had one terrific day, piling up 89
yards against St. Louis after Reeves was injured. Strong in the open
field. Shy has the hands, size and speed to make a splash. 1969
figures as a key year for Shy as he moves into his fourth season.

STAUBACH, ROGER Quarterback Navy
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 200 Born: 2-5-42 1st Year (D-10 for *64)
COLLEGE: Roger must be rated as one of the outstanding col
legiate players of all time and certainly as great a figure as ever
played for Navy. He won the Heisman Trophy as a junior and still
holds 13 of the 28 Naval Academy records he set as a midshipman.
Some are phenomenal. He hit 67.3 per cent of his passes as a sopho
more and his career total was 63.6. He averaged 9.9 yai'ds per
attempt in 1962 and 9.2 the following year. His career record for
total offense was 4,253 yards. Some of his awards were AP and
UPI Back of the Year, Maxwell Trophy, Sport's Top Performer in
College and Football, etc. The list is lengthy. In addition, he won a
basketball letter and was a regular in baseball, batting .420 one
season as a centei*fielder.
PERSONAL: Roger completed a four-year hitch in the Navy,
having spent one year in Vietnam and the bulk of the rest at Pen-
sacola where he was able to play for the base team. He attended
Purcell High in Cincinnati, but wasn't a quarterback until his senior
season. He was twice All-City in basketball and once each in football
and baseball. He was captain of the All-Star squad at Chicago. He
is married to the former Marianne Hoobler and they have three
girls, Jennifer 3, Michelle 1, and Stephanie Marie, born June 25 of
this year.

STERLING, ERNEST Defensive End Gramblinq

Ht: 6-7 Wt: 260 Born: 3-20-46 1st Year (FA for '68)
Sterling is back for a second try after a year on the taxi squad
and is what Ernie Stautner describes as "the kind of kid you like to
work with. A young fellow like him could put it all together."
Sterling lettered two years for Coach Eddie Robinson and was honor
able mention NAIA All-America. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native
also played basketball in college.

STINCIC, TOM Linebacker Michigan

Ht: 6-2 Wt: 226 Born: 11-24-46 1st Year (D-3 for '69)
From his time at John Marshall High in Cleveland until he
completed his collegiate career at Michigan, Tom has shown not
only excellent performance on the field, but also leadership qualities.
He was recognized for this as a freshman defensive end by receiving
an award given annually for leadership qualities. As a junior he
was recognized as the team leader without being captain. He was
captain his senior season and called defensive signals. He made All-
Big Ten his last two seasons. He has 4.95 speed. He's single.
TOWNES, WILLIE Defensive End Tulsa
Ht: 6-4 Wt: 260 Born: 7-21-43 4th Year (D-2 for '66)
PRO: Willie, all would agree, was dealt a cruel blow in 1968.
After having trouble making reporting weights for two years, Willie
came into the '68 camp right on the dot, ran his Landry mile and was
ready to achieve what had been forecast for him. "Willie," Ernie

40
Stautner has said, "has a chance to be a great one. Willie just needs
to apply himself." The season was barely undei-way when trouble
flared up in his leg. He didnT play again and Larry Cole filled in
while Willie went on the injured reserve list. Now there has been
surgery and something of a comeback is in order if he is to regain
his job back. Willie, a Cotton Bowl favorite, expects to do it. He
worked hard in the off-season. He has exceptional quickness and
good upper body strength. And he has a goal: "I want to make All-
Pro and help the Cowboys win a championship."
COLLEGE: All-American and two-time Missouri Valley All-
Conference choice ... outstanding lineman in Bluebonnet Bowl against
Mississippi as a sophomore . . . enrolled originally at Indiana, but
transferred to Tulsa after freshman season.
PERSONAL: One of 10 children (seven sisters and two brothers),
grew up in Hattiesburg, Miss. . . . prep whiz at end, tackle and full
back, playing at 6-3 and 220 . . . worked hurdles and weights in
track and averaged 14 points per game in basketball . . . Willie and
his wife, DeeDee, make their home in Dallas.

WALKER, MALCOLM Center Rice

Ht: 6-4 Wt: 250 Born: 5-24-43 4th Year (D-2 for *65)

PRO: Patience paid off in 1968 as Malcolm, a No. 2 draft choice

in 1965, became a regular, the third regular center for the Cowboys
in three years. He followed Dave Manders and Mike Connelly and
faces a battle with Manders for the job in 1969. Walker's story,
until he took the center job last year, was not a happy one. He was
injured practicing for the All-Star game in Chicago and missed all
of his rookie year following surgery. Still not sound, he didn't make
his debut until late in 1966 on specialty teams. He also had some
weight problems and worked hard at a better distribution of weight.
He trimmed three inches off his thighs for instance.
COLLEGE: One of all-time great linemen at Rice where he was
three-year two-way regular . . . twice all-Southwest Conference . . .
made all-Academic team as math major.
PERSONAL: A Dallas native, he was a much-sought schoolboy
player at South Oak Cliff, where he also played basketball . . . was
All-City in both. Lives in Dallas during the off-season, working as
an accountant for Evens, Steenson & Tudor. He is also attending
SMU for a Master's in Accounting and CPA Certification. Married
to former Mary Jo Holder of Houston and they have one son, Joel
Wyane, born December 13, 1968.

WELCH, CLAXTON Running Back Oregon
Hf: 5-11 Wt: 203 Born: 7-3-47 1st Year (D-9 for *69)

A first rate inside runner, Welch piled up 525 yards rushing- last
season despite missing three of the last four games with injuries. As
a junior he gained 474 yards rushing and caught seven passes for
109 yards. That junior season Welch was second only to O. J. Simpson
in the All-Conference balloting. Blessed with 4.7 speed, Welch was
an All-State football and basketball player for David Douglas High
in Portland. A strong blocker, Welch is a sociology major. He is
single.

WIDBY, RON Punfer Tennessee

Hf: 6-4 Wt: 210 Bom: 3-9-45 2nd Year (D-4 for *67)
PRO: Drafted originally by New Orleans, Ron spent a season
on the Cowboys taxi squad and punting for Oklahoma City in a minor
league, but in 1968 became the punter and was good enough to finish
fifth in the NFL. And he had the longest kick in the league, an 84-
yarder at New Orleans. The same day he kicked one 56 yards against
the wind. Widby was working with new techniques that rookie year
and expects to challenge for the No. 1 spot in the NFL this fall.
He also became the holder for place kicking buddy Mike Clark.
COLLEGE: Widby was the NCAA punting champion as a senior
at Tennessee with a 43.8 yard average and was also a collegiate All-
America as a basketball player.
PERSONAL: With the possible exception of coach Ermal Allen
Widby holds one distinction among the Cowboys family: he is the
best golfer. He plays to a two handicap and is considei'ing a pro
fessional career as a teaching pro. Ron also played pro basketball
with New Orleans in the ABA after the 1967 season. Ron and his
wife, Joan, have one son, Ronald Scott, born November 5, 1968.

WILBUR, JOHN Guard Stanford

Hf: 6-3 Wf: 251 Bora: 5-21-43 4fh Year (FA for '66)
PRO: Before the reporting date for veterans at training camn
in 1968 John came to the Califomia Lutheran Campus with two
purposes in mind: one, he was still talking contract, and, two, he
wanted to demonstrate that he could now touch his toes. Wilb^^.
aggressive, competitive and fast (5.0) had worked on weights to
the point his body was stiff. Offensive line coach Jim Myers had
sought to add to these characteristics a little more agility. Voila,
Wilbur could touch his toes, a difficult feat before this. It came
at a good time as Leon Donohue did not respond as quickly as hoped
42
 TOWNES walker WRIGHT

for to his surgery and was slow coming around. Wilbur, who had
done a good job on specialty teams, was now ready to become the

WRIGHT. RAYFIELD Tackle Ft. Valley State (Ga.)

Ht: 6-7 Wt: 250 Born: 8-23-45 3rd Year (D-7 for *67)
PRO: Everyone's heard the yelling to "take it off." Rayfield's
heard that one and also to "put it on." What they're talking about is
weight and it's happened to him thi'ee different times while the
decision was being made whether he should be an interior lineman
or a tight end. "I'm glad they've settled on one position," Rayfield
says. "With my frame it isn't easy to lose all of that weight."
Originally, the thought was defensive line. Then it was tight end or
offensive line, and now it is settled: tackle on offense. None of the
thoughts were bad ones and it should be just a matter of time until
he becomes a strong player.
COLLEGE: Prom Ft. Valley State in Georgia, "Big Tom" was
all-Conference football and basketball player as well as track man.
He logged 50 flat quarter.
PERSONAL: From Griffin, Georgia, Wright now makes his
home in Dallas and was married in 1968 to long-time sweetheart,
Andrea Joyce Lampkin in Atlanta.

 Historical Highlights
1960
NFL FRANCHISE—Clint Murchison, Jr., and Bedford Wynne were
awarded an expansion franchise in the NFL at the annual league
meeting in Miami Beach, Fla. The Cowboys were to play as a "swing"
team, playing eveiy other team one time during their first season,
although listed in the Western Conference standings (January 28).
COWBOYS STOCKED—A player pool was set up in a league meeting
at L.A., with, each of 12 NFL teams freezing 25 names on its roster
and the Cowboys allowed to pick three from each team for a total
of 36 veterans. Dallas, once given the list, had to select its 36
players within 24 hours (March 13).
TRAINING STARTS—Rookies report to first Cowboys camp at
Pacific U., in Forest Grove, Oregon (July 9).
FIRST PRE-SEASON GAME—The Cowboys, less than six months in
existence, get their first test and drop a 10-16 pre-season game to
San Francisco in Seattle (August 6).
FIRST HOME GAME—In their Dallas debut, in the Salesmanship
Club pre-season game, the Cowboys led the World Champion Balti
more Colts into the final minute before a 71-yard pass from Johnny
Unitas to Lenny Moore gave the Colts a 14-10 victory (August 19).
FIRST VICTORY—In a pre-season game at Louisville, Ky., the
Cowboys beat New York's Giants, 14-3, with Frank Clarke catching
touchdo\vn passes of 73 yards (Eddie LeBaron) and 74 yards (Don
Meredith). (August 27).
FIRST LEAGUE GAME—In their first league game, Dallas fell to
Pittsburgh, 35-28, with Bobby Layne leading a fourth period Steeler
rally (Sept. 24, Saturday night).
STREAK SNAPPED—Dallas snaps a 10-game loss streak by tying
New York, 31-31, at Yankee Stadium (Dec. 4).

won, 30-28 (Sept. 23).

yards and Mike Gaechter returned a pass interception 100 yards,
both plays for fourth quarter TD's in a 41-19 win over Philadelphia

 Eastern Conference Playoff
The Cowboys won the Capitol Division two straig^ht years, but
their quest for a third straight Eastern Conference championship
was ended on a cold and bleak day in Cleveland when inspired Browns
took a 31-20 victory.
It was only a year earlier in a similar game in Dallas, the Cow
boys won, 52-14. But it was a different story in Municipal Stadium
as the Browns defense throttled the Cowboys and Leroy Kelly had a
two-touchdown day, a 45-yard pass and a 35-yard run.
Dallas led at 10-3 on a fumble recovery and 44 yard run by Chuck
Howley, but just before the half Cleveland scored on a long pass play
and the momentum and game belonged to the Browns.

 NFL Playoff Bowl
It was not the game Dallas had intended to be in Miami for, the
Cowboys nonetheless scored their first victory of 1969 by whipping
Minnesota 17-13, in the Runner-Up Bowl.
On a wet and not so wonderful day in Miami, the Cowboys fell
behind by 10 points when the Vikings Bob Bryant returned a punt
81 yards and Fred Cox kicked a field goal.
But Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith, who was the game's out
standing player, hit Bob Hayes with a 51-yard scoring pass and Mike
Clark kicked a 10-yard field goal.
Craig Morton played the second half and passed 21 yards to Craig
Baynham for that period's only touchdown.
At the finish when the Vikings were driving for what could have
been trouble, the Dallas defense turned in its finest performance.
