Van Brocklin:
‘They manhandled us 9
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) - Maybe
now Dallas Coach Tom Landry
can quit worrying about the
Cowboys’ defense.
If Sunday’s performance is
an honest indictor, the Cowboys
should be one of the top
defensive teams in the NFL
this season.
The defense was awesome in
the 24-0 opening win over the
Atlanta Falcons. It allowed a
net of only 108 yards, holding
Atlanta to 64 yards on the
ground and allowing only eight
completions out of 28 passes.
“It was a good way to start,”
said Landry. “TTie whole
defense had a great game, no
question about it. We had not
been playing very good defense
in the pre-season.”
The Cowboys’ offense wasn’t
bad either.
Roger Staubach, starting at
quarterback although he’s still
nursing a cracked rib, ran for
one touchdown and passed for
another to put Dallas into a 17-0
halftime lead.
Staubach wasn’t as mobile as
normal and got sacked seven
times. But he completed 13-of
-27 passes for 252 yards and
gained 24 yards on four runs.
“I can still feel the muscle
pull a little bit, but each week
it is getting better,” said
Staubach, who wore a foam pad
with a cast Sunday. “I think I’ll
be able to throw the football
full go next week (at Philadel
phia). I think the ribs are good
enough now so I shouldn’t have
any trouble next week.”
Getting back to the Dallas’
defense:
“You have to be lucky to shut
out a team in the NFL,” said
Landry. “Every time they’d get
started, they’d miss a play—get
a penalty or catch the ball out
of hounds."
But Landry admits his
defense had something to do

with that shutout.
“With Ed “Too Tall” Jones,
Harvey Martin and Bill Grego
ry, we’ve got a good defensive
nucleus for the future. They
were moving off the ball and
tackling well.”
Atlanta did not get past
midfield until six minutes into
the third period and it took a
40-yard pass interference penal
ty to accomplish that. The
Falcons got inside the Dallas 30
only twice, both times in the
third period, and it took fumble
recoveries to accomplish that
feat.
The first time, they grabbed
the football at the Dallas eight
and gave it up at the nine. The
other time they got the ball at
the Dallas 27 and wound up
punting from the 35.
“It was a bad performance,
wasn’t it?” said Falcons Coach
Norm Van Brocklin. “They
whipped up in every direction.
We just weren’t aggressively
competitive which is strange
because we are an aggressive
ball club. God, they manhan
dled us. But even at that, we
had people open but we couldn’t
get the ball to them.”
“Our defense never gave up,”
said Falcon running back Eddie
Ray. “That’s the sign of a good
team. It would have been easy
for them to say the hell with it.
We were all down out there
because nothing, nothing was
going right.
“It was one of those kind of
days—missed blocks, fumbles,
interceptions, mistakes.”

Dooley not satisfied
with ’Dogs’ defense
ATHENS, Ga. (UPI)-Coach
Vince Dooley says Georgia has
a lot of work to do this week to
get ready for next Saturday
night’s game with Mississippi
State at Jackson.
The Bulldogs beat Oregon
State, 48-35, in this past Satur
day’s season opener and it’s
those 35 points and nearly 400
yards rolled up by the loser
that has Dooley worried.
“Our defense is quicker this
year, but we’ve given up some
power up front,” said Dooley.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do.”
Oregon State Coach Dee An
dros agrees with Dooley.
“Both teams had better im
prove on their defense from
here on in if we expect to do
anything,” said Andros.
Dooley has no real complaint
about his new veer offense. The
Bulldogs, who beat Oregon State
56-25 the only other time they
met (in 1971), jumped into a
20-0 lead Saturday and was
ahead 41-20 after three periods.
“Thank goodness our offense
kept putting points on the
board,” said Dooley. “Every
time I thought we were going
to be able to breathe they (the
Beavers) came back with a big

Myers says coaches
had Tech prepared
By DAVID MOFFIT
UPI Sports Writer
ATLANTA (UPI) - Pepper
Rodgers keeps saying that there
is nothing like the wishbone
offense, “when it’s working.”
The Georgia Tech Yellow
Jackets proved their coach’s
point Saturday night when they
wishboned their way to a school
rushing record in a 35-20 vic
tory over South Carolina.
Rodgers’ Yellow Jackets, set
ting another record of sorts by
playing their second game in
five nights (they lost, 31-7, to
Notre Dame the previous Mon
day), ground out 487 yards
against the Gamecocks.
That was 112 more rushing
Miller nearing
money record
PINEHURST, N.C. (UPI) -
Johnny Miller, on the verge of
smashing golf’s money winning
record, still gets nervous in a
playoff.
But the 27-year-old blond
Californian overcame those
jitters Sunday to beat Jack
Nicklaus, the current season
money-winning titleholder, and
two other golfers in a four-way
sudden death playoff for the
$60,000 first prize in the PGA’s
richest tournament — the
$300,000 World Open.
With the win, Miller needs
only $4,160 the rest of the year
to break Nicklaus’ record of
$320,542.
“I was thinking about the
money championship more than
anything,” said Miller after
winning his seventh tournament
of the season in 19 outings. “To
win it when Jack Nicklaus,
(Gary) Player and Lee Trevino
are in their prime —that’s
really something.”
He had been thinking specifi
cally about the money-winning
title for this season, he said,
and hadn’t realized he was so
close to setting an alltime
record. He has now taken in
$316,283 for the year. Nicklaus
is runner-up at $231,507.
Nicklaus’ earnings include
the $23,200 he received for
finishing in a tie with veterans
Frank Beard and Bob Murphy
for second place after the
playoff.
Nicklaus and Miller began
Sunday tied for the lead at
four-under-par 209. But both
turned in disappointing one
over 72s in the final round and
Murphy, the first round leader,
and Beard carded two-under
69s to throw the tournament
into a playoff.
Murphy, a rookie sensation
when he joined the tour in 1968
but winless in the past three
years, double-bogeyed the first
hole of the playoff, while
Beard, Nicklaus and Miller had
pars on the the hole —No. 15, a
203-yard par three.
Miller fired his drive straight
down the fairway on the second
playoff hole —the par five No.
16 —and followed with a three
wood that left the ball 10 feet
from the hole.
disciplined team that executed
very well.”
Halfback Steve Romine led
No. 2 Wheeler to victory with
three touchdown runs of 39, 55
and 36 yards as the Wildcats
blanked South Cobb 34-0 Friday
night. Romine rushed for 182
yards in the win.
In other games involving the
top ten teams last Friday:
Lakeside, the No. 3 team in
last week’s poll fell from the
undefeated ranks when DeKalb
County rival Tucker upset the
Vikings 16-14. Tucker jumped
into a 16-0 first half lead and
then held off a second half ral
ly by Lakeside.
Central Macon should move
up from its No. 4 ranking after
an impressive 42-6 drubbing of
yards than the previous Tech
record set four years ago
against Clemson.
The credit, says quarterback
Danny Myers who ran for three
touchdowns and 108 yards, goes
to the Georgia Tech coaches.
“Our coaches read the Game
cocks like a book,” said Myers.
“They did exactly what we
thought they’d do. They were
soft at ends and we made the
most of it because of great
preparation by our coaches.”
Sophomore running back
David Sims, leading rusher with
128 yards, said “anybody could
run the way our offensive line
was knocking those big holes.”
Georgia Tech drove 80 yards
He missed the putt for an
eagle, but tapped it in for a
birdie. “It’s a wierd feeling,
having to two-putt from 10 feet
to win,” said Miller.
Nicklaus’ putt for a birdie
lipped the cup and the
tournament was Miller’s.
