Bowl, were the leading vote
getters for an all-time South

Florida. ‘

BALTIMORE, MD.-(NEA)—Altogether, Earl Moirall
aimed seven passes in the direction of Jimmy Orr during
the first half of the Baltimore Colts’ game against the
Los Angeles Rams.
Orr was open each time, but only one made connections.
It went for 44 yards and a touchdown as Orr outfoxed de
fender Irv Cross and loped alone down the middle of the
field. The touchdown was his fifth this fall, and after the
game, the e«act mid-point of the season, Orr had 20 re
ceptions.
Last year, Jimmy caught three passes, one of them for
a score, in the opening game, hurt his shoulder and never
caught another pass in 1967. The odds were good that he’d
never again catch another pass in a professional football
game. Because Jimmy Orr is 33 years old, not very big to
start with, never was fast and for the last 10 years hasn’t
been able to throw a ball overhand.
But here he is, in his 11th pro campaign, holding down a
regular job on a team that could very well be the best in
football, as the outside receiver on the left side of the Colts’
offensive line.
The dramatic story of the Colts this fall has been the re
placement of John Unitas by Earl Morrall, a last-minute
pickup, at the vital quarterback position. Morrall, like Orr,
is an old pro, 34 years old, and he’s doing the job. But guys
like Orr make it possible. Morrall misses him six times,
confessing, “1 was getting rid of the ball quicker than I
should have.”
Orr tells Unitas on the sidelines, “I got my guy (Cross)
set up. 1 can beat him long and deep.” And Unitas tells it
to Morrall. So on the seventh time, Earl hits him for a big
touchdown.
“Intelligence,” nods Buddy Young, the old Colt who's
watching from the press box. “That and experience keep
him in the lineup.”
And Jimmy will stick with it as long as he feels he’s
wanted. Last spring, he wasn’t quite sure. In April, he flew
up from Atlanta to Baltimore, at his own expense. Ostensi
bly, the excuse was the opening of a new Unitas restau
rant. Actually, Jimmy wanted to discuss his future with
coach Don Shula. He had another year to go on his two
year contract.
“I caught only three passes,” he said to Shula. “and
you have a lot of good, young receivers. If you don’t want
me back, we’ll forget the contract.”
“I got to give (Ray) Perkins first shot at the starting
job,” noted Shula. Perkins, a fine rookie, took over for Orr
last year and then sustained a knee injury which required
an operation.
“If Perkins is 0.K.,” Orr volunteered, “I’ll retire.”
“No.” urged Shula, “you think it over, get in shape and
then try it again.”
So in June, Jimmy started running and a month later
he was in camp with the Colts. And a month after that,
he made a couple of brilliant catches in an exhibition game
in Washington. When the season opened, he was a regular
again.
