. Nobis finally has help
By DAVID MOFFTT i
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) — Tommy 1
Nobis has been an Atlanta <
Falcon for as long as there ]
have been Atlanta Falcons. j
An All-America linebacker at |
the University of Texas, the
burly Nobis was the very first (
player picked by the Falcons in j
their very first college draft
and he goes into his sixth ,
season of pro football just as he
did his first —as the anchor
man of the Falcon defense.
But, as Nobis was quick to
point out the other day after
the Falcons opened with a 20-17
wjn over San Francisco, there’s
a big difference between the
Atlanta team Tommy joined as
a rookie and the one he is with
now.
The biggest difference, al
though the ever-modest Nobis
would be the last to point it out,
is that Nobis no longer stands
out so obviously among his
defensive teammates.
It’s not that Nobis, who
Senators
moving
to Texas
BOSTON (UPl)—The Wash
ington Senators have suddenly
become the Dallas-Ft Worth-
Arlington, Texas team in one of
major league baseball’s most
surprising franchise shifts.
American League owners,
apparently ignoring the warn
ings of Commissioner Bowie
Kuhn, baseball lawyers, and
congressmen, gave overwhelm
ing approval on a 10-2 vote
Portly before midnight Tues
day to let owner Bob Short
move his financially ailing
franchise effective next season.
The league placed some
stipulations on the Texas group
to make the shift “conditional”
but Arlington officials had
already offered to meet the
stipulations in their presenta
tion.
In choosing to let Short
continue his ownership of the
club and operate under a |l-a-
tumed 28 this past Monday, is
any less the defensive great he
has been in the past In fact
the 6-foot-3, 240-pound Texan
has acquired the polish he
needed to make him one of pro
football’s finest linebackers.
But rather, Tommy Nobis
doesn’t have to do it all by
himself anymore. With people
around like defensive ends
Claude Humphrey and John
Zook and other linebackers like
Don Hansen and Greg Brezina,
Nobis can devote his time and
talents to playing middle
linebacker and not have to
worry about covering the whole
field.
“I have always been con
fident that we were going to
have a good football team, even
in years when I really knew,
deep down, that we didn’t,”
said Nobis.
“But, I’ve got more con
fidence than ever this year. I
know that we can go out there
and compete against any team
in the league.”
year basic lease in Texas, the
league turned down two offers
to purchase the dub and keep
it in Washington.
The prime offer came from
food store chain owner Joseph
Danzansky who said he and two
others offered to match Short’s
original purchase price by
paying >7.9 million for 90 per
cent of the stock.
Kuhn, in what was literally
an 11th hour move, suggested
that the offer be boosted to >7.9
million for 80 per cent of the
stock. He left the closed-door
tearing late in the evening and
the announcement of the shift
came shortly after his sugges
tion was obviously turned down.
The next thing anyone knew,
and with only the Baltimore
Orioles and Chicago White Sox
dissenting, Short and the
Senators were on their way to
Texas.
The way Tommy Nobis sees
it, it was only a question of
time before Atlanta would have
one of the finer pro defenses.
“I must admit that it was
frustrating, at times, in the
early days,” said Nobis, “but
we’ve been gradually filling in
the gaps. We felt we had an
NFL defense last year and
we’re even more sure of that
now.”
There are two Tommy
Nobises. Off the field, the
Falcons’ defensive captain is
quiet in speech, quiet in
manner and quiet in dress. On
the field, he’s something else
again.
“Nobis is a great football
player, our defensive leader,”
said Falcon Coach Norm Van
Brocklin. “The drafting and
signing of Tommy Nobis gave
the Falcons recognition right
from the start. He provided
them with stability arid a
reason for hope.
“Nobis has improved as he
gained experience and the other
players looked to him for
leadership,” Van Brocklin conti
nued. “There is no comparison
between the over-all defense
now and a few years ago.
“You’ve got to remember

(with the exception of corner
back Ken Reaves) that he has
an entirely different group of
people with him on the
defensive unit now than he had
in the beginning. We’ve got
better boys and thus the team
is better.”
“It’s a comfortable feeling to
know that you’ve got people out
there with you who are going to
get the job done,” said Nobis.
“But you’ve got to remember
that we are still a relatively
young team (although there is
only one rookie, cornerback
Tom Hayes who intercepted
two passes and recovered a
fumble last Sunday) and young
teamswill make mistakes.”
“That is one of the places
where Tommy Nobis is so
valuable,” said Van Brocklin.
“He has that innate ability to
teach by example and the other
players respect him so much
that they follow his lead.”
