But jinxes were made to be broken.

Until this season, the Colts had never beaten the Cleveland Browns at Baltimore in a series that dated back to the old All-America Conference in 1947. As today's game approaches, Colt coach Ted Marchibroda's tactics are not difficult to figure out. "We will have to test their new middle linebacker," said Marchibroda. "They will miss Mike Kolen there, but a team can't attack Miami individually.

Without a doubt, this is the most important football game the young Colts have played this year. Wherever I've gone all week, the first question anybody asks is, "Do you think they will beat the Dolphins?" Sure, the Colts can beat the Dolphins, because they are vastly improved and have reached the point where they have a license to beat anybody. But, when people ask if I think they will beat the Dolphins, my answer has to be no.

Why? Well, the Dolphins just don't lose many down here in their friendly Orange Bowl ice rink. Counting the openinf loss this year to Oakland, Miami has lost one game in the Orange Bowl in the last four years. When you consider those odds, how can you expect any team to win when it comes to play Miami on its own field? The Colts are definitely playing better than they have in years, but if you are realistic you also have to face a few facts. For instance, just going back to that 1968 thing, when Joe Willie Whiteshoes promised the world the Jets would beat the Colts in the Super BowL then delivered in one of the biggest upsets of them all, I've come down here and watched the Colts play eight times. They won one of those eight, when they beat Dallas, 16 to 13, on Jim O'Brien's field goal in the 1970 Super Bowl.

They have yet to beat Miami in the Orange BowL so you know it can't be easy. The Colts have played Miami in the Orange Bowl six times and are 0-6. Including the 1971 American Conference championship game, they have been outscored 98-7 the last four times they have tried the Dolphins here. They were shut out three in See MORNING AFTER, B10, Col. 7 1 Osaka, Japan (AP)-Toru Nakamura and Isao Aoki shot nal period, but Western Maryland came right back.
