Melton, Clark, Colwell
Among Eagles’ Injured
Coach Max Dowls called his
wounded Eagles together this af
ternoon to try and re-group them
for the tough game coming up
Friday night against Clarkston.
The re-grouping may not be
easy.
The Eagles are a hurt team,
physically and mentally.
The 21-21 tie with Gordon left
the Eagles’ morale sagging, and
the heated combat left them hurt
physically.
"I have never seen anything
like It,” Coach Dowls said this
morning.
"Do you realize mat at o n e
time we had 11 players who
couldn’t play? It was mass con
fusion,” he said.
It takes considerable time
for the coach to run down the
list.
Three players are definitely
out of the Clarkston game and
several others that follow.
Quimby Melton’s shoulder se
paration will keep him on the
sideline at least six weeks.
Rickey Clark, who played with
an injured ankle, Is now wearing
a cast. He Is out for four weeks.
Bruce Colwell is walking with
crutches today. He suffered an
ankle Injury Friday night and
will miss the Clarkston game,
and maybe others.
Bill Cody has a strained back
muscle. Coach Dowls isn’t sure
how bad the hurt is. Cody may
sit out a game.
Craig Bozeman missed the
Gordon game with a severely
cut knee. The nine stitches are
scheduled to be removed some-
time this week. Coach Dowis
hopes he’ll pi ay nut Isn’t sure.
Just for the record, Griffin’s
wounded includes both starting
linebackers, who are starters at
guard and fullback one offense,
a starting middle guard, a start
ing end, and a starting tackle,
who plays both ways.
When those serious Injuries are
added to the lesser ones, the
Eagles’ physical condition is ter
rible.
‘‘We were looking forward to
seeing our linebackers (Clark
and Bozeman) In action,” Coach
Dowis said. “It looks like it may
be next season before we see
them play together.”
“Quimby was doing a great
Job for us. He drew his first
starting assignment and look
what happens. He goes down
with a shoulder separation. He
made three big plays before
leaving, though,” Coach Dowls
said.
One play resulted in a touch
down. He was injured on a play
when he dropped the Gordon qu
arterback for a big loss.
Colwell was injured early In
the first quarter and did not re
turn to action.
Coach Dowls said he would
start changing the Eagles’ de
fense this afternoon “to see if we
can adjust to offset the absence
of some of the players.”
“We are having trouble plug
ging up the off tackle holes, de
fending on short passes aid
rushing the passer,” he said.
The absence of the lineback-
ers left Griffin vulnerable to the ~
short pass and off tackle runs. 11
Coach Dowis will try to correct
those situations along with sev- i
eral others in drills this week, j i
He may have to make the ad-, j

Falcons Scare
Baltimore Colts
By DAVID M. 'IOFFIT
t’PI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPD—The Atlan
ta Falcons deserve a reassess
ment after the way they stood
up to the Baltimore Colts Sun
day.
After their 47-7 opening loss
to the Vikings, It was the con
census that the Falcons would
be the patsies of the National
Football League. But the 28-20
loss to the Colts indicates they
may be tougher than expected.
"That’s what I’ve been say
ing right along,” said Falcon
coach Norb Hecker. “I kept tell
ing people we had some pretty
good athletes; that we just
needed to learn to work togeth
er and that, in time, we had
the material to develop into a
presentable team.
It was hard to believe. But,
with less than 10 minutes to
play Sunday, the Falcons were
only one point behind, 21-20. and
were pushing the Colts back to
ward their own goal line.
Def e nsive Error
But then, Jimmy Orr, the
Colts split end who owns a res
taurant here In Atlanta, caught
the Falcons in a fatal error.
"Jimmy was supposed to go
down and hook left,” said vet
eran quarterback Earl Morrall
who filled in again for the ailing
Johnny Unitas. “When the de
fensive man went left with him,
Jimmy improvised and broke to
the right instead.”
Lee Calland, the Falcon cov
ering Orr, slipped and fell when
the former University of Geor
gia end cut back and suddenly,
The Fairmont Bears scored two
second quarter touchdowns Frl
day night to beat West Side High
of Henry County, 12-0.
Quarterback Frederick Parks
passed 25 yards to end Oscar
Daniels for the first TD and sc
ored the second on a 12 yard end
sweep. The Bears missed both
extra points.
Except for the two second qu
arter scores, it was a tight de
fensive struggle.
“Our boys played a fine defen
sive game,” Coach Hiram Whi
taker said this morning.
"The return of Hal Mullins
really helped our defense," he
added.
Mullins suffered a fractured
wrist two weeks ago. He played
the first half Friday night and
turned in a spectacular perfor
mance.
"West Side had a good defen
sive team," Coach Whitaker
said.
“Our passing ability made the
difference,” he added.
The victory was Fairmont's
third in four starts.
The Bears play Fairburn High
here Saturday night.

Zebulon Road — Griffin, Georgia
Orr was out there all alone.
When the Falcons finally
pulled him down, It was at their
two-yard line at the end of an
84-yard play. Two plays later
Tom Matte was across with the
clinching touchdown.
Morrall, who had three pass
es intercepted and fumbled at
the Colts 14 to set up the final
Atlanta touchdown, didn’t feel
that he had a very good day.
But Morrall was being a bit
harsh on himself. He completed
16 of 23 passes for 279 yards
and three touchdowns and, of
course, set up the other Colt
TD with his toss to Orr.
Dazzling Play
It was another Morrall-to-Orr
“bomb” with 39 seconds left in
the first half that kept the Fal
cons from ever catching up.
That one, good for 46 yards,
was a dazzler. Morrall lateraled
to Matte who lateraled back to
Morrall who found Orr so alone
that he could stroll across from
the two after making a standing
catch.
Morrall threw nine and
13-yard touchdown passes re
spectively to Ray Perkins and
John Mackey in the first period
to give Baltimore a 14-0 lead.
Atlanta got back 10 of those
points on a 71-yard pass from
Randy Johnson to Bob Long
and a 14-yard field goal by Bob
Etter.
A 24-yard field goal by Etter
cut it to 21-13 in the third period
and Johnson leaped across
from the one foot line early in
the fourth period after Morrall’s
fumble. Etter’s placement cut
the gap to one point.
The Falcons threw Matte for
a one-yard loss after the ensu
ing kickoff and then pushed the
Colts back 14 more yards for
offensive pass interference.
That’s the point where Orr es
caped Calland.
