tjCarry W/orrou,
ST. LOUIS, MO. -The football Cardinals closed out their 1963
season last weekend — with a 27-24 loss to Dallas and their
best record in 15 years already assured.
With a 9-5 slate, the Big Red
finished better than any other
team since the 1948 club was
11-1 and on the way to the
Eastern division crown. Best
mark since then was in 1956
when the Cardinals were 7-5.
To have finished alone in
second place, the Cardinals
needed a victory over Dallas
coupled with losses by both the
Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleve
land Browns.
Sonny Randle, who already
holds most Cardinal career
pass-receiving records, will
get the prime one with his first
catch against the Cowboys. The
Big Red’s split end had caught
231 passes in his five seasons,
matching the record held by Don
Stonesifer, who caught 231 in a
six - season span.
When the season began, Randle
was in second place in the all
time Cardinal standings with 184
During the year, he established
a still- growing standard for
most yards with pass recep
tions. He passed Mal Kutner’s
mark of 3069 yards and now has
totaled 3760.
Randle also holds team re
cords for most touchdown pas
ses caught in a career (43
and growing ) and in a season
(15), as well as for yardage
on receptions in a season (1158).
Bobby Joe Conrad passed
Randle’s mark for catches in a *
season when he snared six last !
week to give him 66 for the

year. Randle caught 63 a year
ago, with Conrad catching 62.
The Cardinals* twosome has
caught 113, and the mark was set
back in 1950 by Tom Fears
and Elroy Hirsch of the Rams.
Fears ^et the league record
that season with 84 catches and
Hirsch added 42 for a total
of 126.
Continuing the record de
partment, quarterback Charley
Johnson has established one
season marks that are still
growing for passes, com
pletions, touchdowns and yard
age. His 315-yard day against
the Eagles last week was the
fourth best of his career and
gave him six over-300 yard
games in his career.
Johnson set the one-game
mark against the Steelers ear
lier this year with 428 yards.
When the Cardinals and Cow
boys tangled in the season open
er, away back on September 14,
the Big Red turned in a 34-7
victory. It was the Cardinals*
sixth straight triumph over the
Cowboys. Since Dallas enter
ed the league in 1960, the Car
dinals have never lost to the
Cowboys and are the only team
in the Eastern Division with a
perfect mark against Dallas.

CANTRELL SETS RECORD,
TURNER WINS TWO
BY HERBERT B. PRICE
Turner’s mighty Wolves and Wolverettes pulled off 59-48
and 55-48 victories over Harper’s boys and girls in two exciting
games which were much closer than the score implies.
James "Sihugo” Green, Son
ny Epps and Henry Simpson
scored 22, 13 and 12 pts. to
lead Turner. Epps scored two
baskets late in the fourth quart
er to give Turner a 48-47
lead which they never gave up.
While scoring 13 pts., Epps also
pulled in 20 rebounds.
Although the final score was
not close, the game was be
cause the score changed hands
7 times before Turner finally
took the lead.
Harper’s fabulous James Hill
scored 19 pts. to keep ±e Tro
jans in contention through out.
When he and Chip Johnson,
who scored 9 pts., left the game
late in the fourth quarter, Harp
er couldn’t find the range to
the basket again, and the score
reflected it.

pts. to lead the Wolverettes
over Harper’s girls.
In a game which saw Can
trell and company completely
destroy Harper’s unbeaten
string, and Cantrell’s record
breaking performance, Jesse
Dallas scored 29 pts. to show
city-league spectators that
Cantrell wasn’t the only one
that could score more than
twenty points.
Doris Cooper, Carol Ann
Dove and Beverly Watts played
fine defense against the high
scoring girl Trojans. Vivian
Williams also played well on
offense for Harper.
