Guy Brown is right in the middle of living a dream, playing ball in the National Football League and not doing badly at all with Dallas Cowboys. A produce of one-year of football training at Palestine High School and four years at the University of Houston, Brown was coaxed from a physical education class onto the football field for the first time in 1972 by his high school coach Marion Turner, now an assistant at Kilgore College.

Brown is a splendid example of what hard work will get you, according to Turner. Dallas thought so much of the 6-4, 215-pound defensive end at the University of Houston that they drafted the Palestine product as a "sleeper" in the fourth round of the 1977 draft. "I'm real pleased to be picked by Dallas. It's close to home and in the state. I'm real-happy about coming from a college championship team (UH) to a pro team with championship potential," Brown said admitting that he had been contacted by Dallas, Kansas City, Washington, Seattle, Houston and Denver prior to the draft.

"It's kind of a rags to riches story," Turner said of his former student. "I specialty teams. "I was on the defensive specialty teams at Houston, going down on punt returns. "Kickoffs are really dangerous. If you don't hustle, you'll get hurt and mess up.

It's better for me to really hustle. Training camp was-a rough as it is built up to be. "I'm pleased to say that I came through it okay," he said with a big grin crossing his face. "In the pros, you have to play it for real. You have to enjoy it and do your best.

College ball was a lot more fun." "I'm extremely proud for Guy, because his hard work has paid off," Turner said recalling that dismal year at Palestine. "We started Tunning the wishbone that year and he was the fullback. We went to the I and he moved to tailback. In the only game the Wildcats won that season, Guy returned a punt all the way against Nacogdoches. Palestine kicked the extra point and won 7-6.

"I think the Houston coaches saw his potential and his talent and felt he could make a contribution to their program," his high school coach said. Brown, remembers that first year at Palestine and getting the scholarship to the University of Houston. "I started going up the ladder when I got a scholarship to UH. -My first year in college was the first time I seriously thought about playing pro ball." remember that he had to miss some of our practices to work. I'm extremely proud for him because he's an outstanding young man.

We needed everybody we could get," Turner said thinking back to his first ear at Palestine when the club was 1-9. "We talked to him and invited him, if he was interested, to come out and play." He did, obviously. The Cowboys took Brown, who was clocked with a 4.85 in the 40 on a sore leg, as an outside linebacker. "He had a knee injury as a sophomore and a shoulder injury as a junior. But he's well now," Cowboy scout Red, Hickey said.

"He is a way above average athlete." Hickey was quoted as saying that he felt Brown could fit right into the system as an outside linebacker. That's what he, just recently married, has been doing. Fitting in, trying to adjust from a standup collegiate defensive end to a professional linebacker. "I feel I've learned some in every game," he said. "Linebacker is a new position for me to learn, Coach Tubbs (Jerry), D.D.

Lewis and all the linebackers have helped me a lot." Besides learning linebacking respon-sibilites for the NFC Central Division club, Brown is working especially hard or 'It's kind of a rags to riches story.
