R. E. Lee Rips
Pirates, 78-49
Beware of the R. E. Lee Re
bels.
That was the word echoing out
of Zebulon today after the Re
bels paid an official visit to that
Pike County town.
Lee massacred the Pirates 78-
49 in their first outing of 1967.
The Pike girls escaped the
massacre with a 29-28 victory.
Coach Walker Cook knew his
Pirates were in for a rough ni
ght. However, he didn’t expect
it to be a complete disaster.
Lee took a 29-16 lead in the
first half and didn’t let up.

QB Class Limited H
To Sonny, Unitas
By MURRAY OLDERMAN ||
NEA Sports Editor O-
n
WASHINGTON, D.C.—(NEA)— The football guy used to be I
a coach in the pros and sUll keeps close to the scene in an ■
official capacity. He got to talking about quarterbacks, the I
men of distinction. And who are the class guys in the ■
National Football League.
“We’re only talking” he said, “about two.”
One of the them has to be John Unitas, the nonpareil leader ■
of the Baltimore Colts.
But how about the other? It could be Bart Starr, winner of
the Jim Thorpe Trophy a year ago, and still a force form
the Green Bay Packers despite a siege of injuries in ’67. Or
Dr. Frank Ryan, a gutsy performer for Cleveland despite ■
numerous bumps. Maybe Roman Gabriel, stolid and solid as ■
oak now that he has wedged in as the No. 1 man on the Los I
Angeles Rams. Possibly Fran Tarkenton, who keeps the New ■ ’
York Giants scrambling in contention.
Forget it. The other guy has to be Christian Adolph ■ “
Jurgensen. Sonny, to you.
“If you had to pick the best passer in football right now,” I
said the former coach, “it’s Jurgensen—no contest. Remem- K
her, he dbesn’t have the team to go with him, like John does. I
“The outstanding quality about Jurgensen is that he utilizes 1
the talent the Redskins have as well as anybody I’ve ever Bjf
seen. If he were with a team like Dallas, it’s hard to tell Igi
what he’d do.”
Just to cue you in, Jurgensen has already, in his 11-year ll|
career (the last four with Washington), passed for more than B||
400 yards in a game on four different occasions. Last season I
he set a new NFL record for completions and is clicking them I
off again at a rate this fall which will break his own record.
There is one flaw in applying statistics to Jurgensen. In his I f.
entire career, Jurgensen has been the starting quarterback I
only one year on a team which won more games than it lost— ■ W
and that was back in 1961 with the Philadelphia Eagles. So ■ sE
you couldn’t exactly call him a winner.
“The same,” continued our expert, “applied to Y. A. Tittle |J||
when he was with the San Francisco 49ers for 10 years.” WB
It was suggested there's also a parallel in the limberness I
of Sonny’s arm and Tittle’s proclivity for passing. Y. A. threw KU
more than any other quarterback in pro history, if you in- I
elude his service in the old All-America conference. agl
“Tittle,” sneered the football guy, “was never in this guy’s | O
class. The thing about Jurgensen is that he can throw the I
ball between people. Surround your receiver with a couple of I ®?
guys, put a linebacker in the way, and Sonny’ll still get the I®
ball to him.”
Otto Graham was probed for affirmation of Jurgensen’s I M
talents. Even if he is Sonny’s coach. Otto doesn’t blow smoke. |
“He isn’t a classic faker,” admitted Otto, “and he’s not a '
good runner. But he knows football. He’s a coach out there.
And when it comes to throwing a football, I wouldn’t trade
Sonny for anybody, John Unitas included. He’s as good a I'W
passer as I’ve ever seen.”
Otto, of course, couldn’t see himself in the mirror when
he was passing the Browns to championships. ijf
