Page 8 Section a runno Star-Courier Wednesday, November 1, 1972 Dave Edwards Great, But Unnoticed One Players Story Whtn Cowboys Linebacker Coach Jerry Tubbs grades the films, an average day by one of his players rates a zero. A grade of three or four would be a good performance. Against the Washington Redskins on October 22, strongside linebacker Dave Edwards received a nine. "I've never seen such hustle and pursuit," said Tubbs. "It was the best jot) one of our linebackers has ever done." Unhappily for Edwards, the Cowboys lost to the Redskins and his great effort went virtually unnoticed.

That has been the story of his pro football life in Dallas. "It's phenomenal how steady Dave has been the last couple of years," says Tubbs. "He might not get a lot of ink, but ask the tight ends around the league how tough he is and they'll tell you." Edwards' linebacklng partners on the Cowboys are time All-Pro Chuck Howley and the colorful Lee Roy Jordan. Dave seems to get lost in the shuffle where nnhHo attention is concerned. "I don't let it bother me," Edwards says.

always been that way since I came to the Cowboys and be that way when I leave. I just try to do my job and worry about it." Signed as a free agent end out of Auburn tn 1062, Edwards failed to make the active roster his first year. But he kept plugging away and was activated for the '63 season. By 1065 he was a starting linebacker and he's held down the job ever since. An anecdote told by Bob St.

John of the Dallas Morning News pretty well describes the way events mysteriously conspire to keep Edwards' name out of print. St. John called home, planning to write a story about him. wife, Gail, said he there but that she would take a message. St.

John waited and waited, but Edwards never returned the call and the story never was written. A couple of weeks later, St. John asked Edwards about it "My wife wrote down your number on a piece of Dave explained. "Then she blew her nose." Off the field, Edwards is an attention-getter. Often dressed tn western-style clothes and sporting a droopy mustache, he can be seen roaring around Dallas on his motorcycle or in his sports car.

An accomplished amateur photographer, a hobby he picked up from Bob Lilly, films are a big hit at the discoteque he and teammate Mike Ditka have turned into one of the most popular spots in Dallas the Sports- page Club. But it's on the field where the 32-year-old, 6-1, 225- pound Edwards still most impresses his teammates and coaches. "The best thing you can say about Edwards is that a pro," says Defense Coach Ernie Stautner. "He plays hurt and he still does an outstanding job. what a pro is." Every time we think seen all the clever posters found in the various cafes in the hunting and fishing areas of the Lone Star State, we come across another.

fret a chuckle out of the INSTRUCTIONS YOU MUST HAVE FOR YOUR HUNTING TRIP: 1. First you need a fast you can beat the other hunters to the best spotH. That will give you a chance of being killed before you get out in the woods. And save some other hunter ammo and the mess of shooting you. 2.

One or two cases of whiskey, four cases of beer, and lota of ammo. Food, tents and sleeping bags take up a lot of space, so get another case of whiskey, instead. 3. Be sure to shoot at anything that moves. If not a deer, there's always a chance it might be your mother-in-law.

4. Now', when you bag a deer, be sure and shoot all the shells you have left into it. This will be sure to splinter all the bones and bust all the entrails. 5. Don't bother to wash or wipe it out as the blood and manure will improve the flavor.

Besides, the locker plant operator will be disappointed if you bring in a clean one. 6. If you decide to skin it, be sure to roll it around in the dirt, leaves, and pine needles. Then wrap it in newspapers as they will stick well, and printers ink has the delicate flavor of burnt rubber. 7.

Now bring it out to the car, throw it over the hood as close to the radiator as possible, so it will get ALL the heat and dust, and so people will be sure to see that you got one! 8. On the w'ay home, stop at a tavern, so you can tell the other liars how you killed it. And j)e sure to stretch your kill into at least a mile. 9. Be sure to stay at the tavern until you are sure the locker plant you want to hang your deer in has been closed for the night and the operator is sound asleep.

Call him now' and tell him to get right down, as you must get your deer into the cooler before it spoils. 10. He will no doubt have a couple hundred hanging around. So make sure he cuts yours makes it all into choice steaks and chops. led nuance Ison Growing to serve Plano now located in new, modem offices at 2450 AV8.
