Nolan Rvan i Earl Scudday Grid News 'N' Notes 1 For Cowboys' Fans CHARLES NAPPKR, THE FORMER Red Raider quarterback, has a chance to be the No. 3 signal-caller of -the Dallas Cowboys this season, but he doesn't have a lock on it. Charley will have to beat out Leo Giisumira of Rutgers, who was waived by Pittsburgh after his rookie year. And head coach Tom Landry might yet trade for a passer "with more experience. Speaking of trades, 'rumor has it that the Cowboys still, are trying to get ace running 'back Ron Johnson from York Giants as a replacement for Calvin Hill.

Ron, a super player when not injured, has had problems with the Giants' front but they want a bundle for him. The collapse "old" WFL has been a boon for the who a' year ago faced the Joss of eight 1 good players. Then the World League's fiasco freed Craig- Morton and Pat Xoomay from their future contracts, setting- up some profitable trades by Dallas. Of late, the Cowboys have turned the tables on the WFL by signing Jacksonville punter Duaue CarrcH, Portland defensive back Hise Austin and' safety man -Jim who was a.sixth-round Dallas draft choice last year 'but played his rookie season with the WFL Suns, Mystery At Tennessee State TENNESSEE STATE, which has produced a score top pro prospects recent seasons, must operate under some strange eligibility rules. Cowboy scouts discovered that Ed "Too Tall" Jones was eligible for the pro draft after the 1972 season, but the school got a conference ruling that gave Jones another year with the collegians.

Now Tennessee Slate linebacker Michael Hegman, who was drafted by'the'Cowboys in January, has been awarded another year of eligibility; Dallas officials find this a little odd, since their records show ttiat this will be Hegman's sixth year as an undergraduate. Hegman attended Alabama State one year, according to information in the files of Dallas superscput Gil Braiidt, then he moved to Tennessee State and has played there for four years, including a redshirt season. Surprisingly, Cowboy officials are not unhappy over situation. Hegman remains Dallas property, even though he will report-in 1976 instead of this summer. And with such hot linebacking prospects as Randy Henderson and Bob Brneriig battling for jobs this year, it will be better to delay Hegman's addition to the THE- COWBOYS ARE PUTTING' a lot-of emphasis or.

Defensive back Mel Kenfro is- hoisting 70 more pounds than he could: a year ago, and some of the younger players have added both mass arid muscle. Kon Howard, the free agent tight end from Seattle, has zoomed from 217 pounds to 230 February, and speedy halfback Doug Deumson is up to a solid 202. Up front, the 1975 Cowboys will have a lot of husky young players battling for Offensive tackle Bruce Walton' is an imposing specimen at G-G and 2GO, and Rodney Wallace, (5-5 and 260, is back after missing a year because of surgery. 6:9 275, is the biggest.

Koufax Sees Career Mark Tied, Says Texan May Get or 12' ANAHEIM (AP) Nolan Ryan thinks he's only fust begun Sandy Koufax agrees. Ryan, like Koufax, is a master of the fastball.

And Ryan, Jike Koufax, has pitched four no-hitters. He made excellent use of his changeup and curve for 1-0 hit over-the Baltimore Orioles Sunday to tie the retired Los Angeles Dodger great for the most no-hitters in a major league career. "I felt somewhere along the line I might have a chance to he Koufax, said the California Angels' 28-year-old right-hander. I don feel I've reached my peak, but I do feel like I'm getting there this year." Koufax, who' retired in 1966 when Ryan, a native Texan, was a 19-year-old with Greenville the Western Carolina League, said from his retreat near Paso Robles, that he had-no sadness about Ryan four no-hitters. 10 Or 13 Possible "There was no doubt he was going to do it.

The only question is how many more he's going to pitch," Koufax said. He said the number might reach 10 or 12 "with the kind of fastball he has." The National League's New York Mets traded Ryan and three others to the Angels in 1971 for third baseman Jim Fregosi. And Ryan blossomed in 1972, posting a 19-16 record with. 329 strikeouts in "his first Lubbock Avalanche-Journal MONDAY.
