Page 6 — Griffin Daily News Monday, September 16,1974 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 Now Many Wear FALSE TEETH With Little Worry Do false teeth embarrass you by coming loose when you eat, laugh, or talk? A denture adhesive can help.

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.” Larrabee rolls 606 Bob bowled a 243 game and a 606 series yesterday in the Mr. and Mrs. League.

(UPI) 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 Play.” Sophomore Dicky Clark start ed at quarterback for Georgia but actually alternated with Weston a national leader in high-strength panelized housing.

Thomasville wins; Lakeside defeated By United Press International The Thomasville Bulldogs did nothing last week to endanger their No. 1 ranking in the United Press International Georgia high school football poll. The Bulldogs cruised to a 34- 20 victory over Albany Friday night as halfback William An drews scored three times on runs of 63 yards, 43 yards and one yard. Thomasville Coach Jim Hughes seemed pleased with the win and said, “We really had a good offensive game against Albany but our defense was not as dominating as we like it to be. We gave up 20 points but a lot of credit goes to Albany, who has a well SPORTS ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★A******* 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. Standings By United Press International American League East w. 1. pct. g.b.
