It replaces the traditional multi-colored Brazilian "Balano" cos-tume with a hat adorned by fruit. "I have seen Pele play many times," Miss Thompson said, "lie is great." Miss Honduras, Franccsca Van Guyl, also a Pcle fan, listed him as the "greatest man in the world." Miss Brazil's national costume at the Miss Universe Pageant this year is a soccer uniform. It bears the No. 10 of the uniform won by Pcle, star of Brazil's world champion team.

Right away, Dye hurt an ankle, an injury which was lingering 'utf'A i for the rest of the season' But Dve was always ready to start on game b. i I day. Going up steps, he still limps. "I spent all my time during the week watching films," said Dye.

"And I learned this much: everybody has a flaw. You have to find the weakness, but when you do, they can be covered. I learned enough in the film room to play half a season on a bad ankle. Defense is concentration and numbers and technique." Jimmy Dye is a coach now under Walt Corey, the University of Miami's new defensive chief, Dye will direct the defensive backs.

Miami News Photo by JAY SPENCER the fundamentals of defense that Dye brings with him will be an asset. But no one who ever saw Dye play will remember him i for concentration or numbers or technique. In 1966 and espe-I cially In 1967 those were Miami's bowl years Dye came to represent the defense's fire and expioslveness, leading the team in interceptions and returning punts for touchdowns of 33, 49 and 79 yards in his last three games. If Dye can teach some of that competitiveness, too, along with the technique, Miami's defensive backs will do some exciting things. No opponent ever had to look at a motion picture of Dye to find his flaw.

That was seen easily enough in any still photograph. Five-feet-nine, Dye sometimes weighed as much as 150 pounds. Despite his spectacular college finish, Dye's size disqualified him for American professional football, and he was the smallest player by 25 pounds in the Canadian League.

You have an idea, an indication, but you still have a lot to find out. What the player does under pressure, playing in a game, playing in a scrimmage, these things remain to be seen. Rookies, of course, are like Christmas Packages.

You don't know anything about them." Bill Arnsparger, Dolphin assistant coach 'J hi -i a vine ui uic imiigs i in gumg iu enjuy auoui coacn-ing," Said Dye. "Nobody ever asks a coach to get on the scales. That weight stuff gets kind of old. I never stood up at a dinner when somebody didn't ask what I weighed. I always toid 'em that those big ones have all their weight in their butts, and that you don't play football with your butt." The dinner that I'll always remember when Jimmy Dye's name comes up was an awards banquet following Miami's 1967 season.

He got a trophy as the team's outstanding back, but he couldn't make an acceptance speech his jaw was wired together, the result of one of the most spectacular collisions ever seen at the Orange Bowl. Jim Yarbrough, Florida's 6-7, 240-pound right end, caught a pass in the open and Dye, 150 pounds, hit him. "A David and Goliath mismatch if there ever was one," Charlie Tate recalled yesterday. The ball went flying, Yarbrough and Dye went down, and both went out of the game. But Dye came back in Yarbrough never did.

It was the next day before Dye learned that his jaw was broken. "People would aak me what I was going to do when I got out of college," Dye recalled. "When I told them I was going to try to play pro ball, they would laugh. So I just quit telling them. I would just say I didn't know what I was going to do." With 49 other rookies, Dye reported to Ottawa's training camp, and a week before the season only three of the newcomers were left.

Dye made up his own squad list, saw the club had its limit in Americans without him, and set out for Toronto, where Miamian Jim Roundtree, in his first year of retirement, was coaching the defensive backs. "Roundtree's wife told me that they were really glad to see me," laughed Dye. "If I hadn't been able to handle the job, Roundtree would have had to come out of retirement to play the position himself." Didn't get a uniform Dye's timing has always been good. He arrived in Toronto four days before the season started. On picture day, 24 hours before the opening game, Dye came to the dressing room and there was no uniform in his locker.

He went to have his ankles taped, and when he returned, a uniform was waiting for him. Another player, who had been cut, had been wearing the pants Dye was issued on the previous day, and his name was still in them. "I wore the pants all season with his name in them," said Dye. "They were a little long, but at my size, I figured I'd better not gripe." The Canadians called Dye 'Mouse'. Dye had already sent his wifa from Miami to Washington, D.C., where he planned to pick her up on his way to Canada, when Charlie Tate offered him the assistantship at Miami.

With an 18-month-old daughter and another child due in October and still not certain about the ankle which gave him so much trouble last year Dye recognized it as an opportunity to skip some of the bottom rungs on the coaching ladder. There can be no question about the size of Dye's achievement in winning a job in professional football even he is reluctant to admit just how much weight he gave away. "I really shouldn't say this, because I certainly don't mean it as a reflection on the quality of Canadian football, but I was shocked myself when I checked out the day after the season ended last year," said Dye. "I weighed 138 pounds." sure, playing in a game, playing in a scrimmage, these things remain to be seen. Rookies, of course, are like Christmas packages.

You don't know anything about them." Schnellenberger has been working out his receivers the past couple of months, often twice a week. He's been enlightened and encouraged. "They're dedicated and all seem to respond to coaching very well," Schnellenberger said. Well, has he uncovered any Jack Snows? "I think Paul Warfield is a more complete receiver than Snow was for me at Los Angeles," he said. "Just last year Snow became the complete receiver, and by that I mean a guy who was always a threat and could also catch in possession situations, when you have a third-and-eight and need a 10-yard catch.

"The rest of the receivers are capable, but not Snows. Karl Noonan and Howard Twilley are not going to make a living beating people deep, though they may do it oc-cassionally. Of course our two long threats, Jim Hines and Gene Milton, have yet to prove themselves." Because he has to start somewhere, Arnsparger will begin with the defensive unit that closed out last season getting squashed by the Jets 27-9 and work from there. "No reason to change until they do it or don't do it in practice," he said. Starting from scratch is not a unique assignment for the new Dolphins coaches most have been through this before, either in college football or with another professional team.

"I had a similar situation at L.A. with George Allen in 1966," Schnellenberger said. "But the difference is they had been a good team before. They had some all-pros on the team. They just weren't able to put it together.

"This is a young team, and I feel this is going to be to our advantage. They accept coaching and work to improve themselves. We're going to grow and mature. This is going to be exciting." wouldn't want to do this all year." After four years as a professional football enterprise, the Dolphins are starting anew with this changing of the guard. The coaches are reluctant to estimate how far behind other camps they will be because of the transition of coaching technique and philosophies.

It's not very exciting stuff. Have you called Railway Express lately? "It's semi-exciting, if that's a word," he said.

"We're creating something here and you have to lay so much ground work. The indoor work is academic and has to be done, but indoor work is not as interesting as the actual coaching and playing of the game. The only reason we're here is to get on the field and put it together." Said Arnsparger of the bookwork: "I By AL LEVINE Miami Newi Reporter The thick looseleaf notebook on Howard Schnellenberger's desk represents more than three months collaboration by four architects of the Dolphins' Don Shula offense. "We were fighting the clock," Schnellen-berger said yesterday. He's the new offensive coordinator for the Dolphins and his priority assignment has been assembling the new playbook.

"We couldn't start working on it until Don had completed his staff," Schnellenber-ger said. "Then we had a meeting of the minds. Don had some ideas he had used at Baltimore. I had some ideas from the Rams. Monte Clark had some suggestions he brought with hiin from the Browns and Carl Taseff, who was last with the Lions, had some things he wanted to suggest.

"We had a lot of different ideas and putting them together to what we wanted the Dolphins to be offensively, took longer than we expected." Schnejlenberger spent most of yesterday correlating the many diagrammed pages that go into the playbook. "Finished two days earlier than I expected," he said. Bill Arnsparger's thick black-covered notebook, the defensive text, was completed in about six weeks. It's already been shipped out to the Biscayne College training camp. So yesterday, Arnsparger busied himself with some unromantic chores like chatting with the Railway Express about connections for film exchanges, making a list of telephone numbers he may need in camp and watching a movie of the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami's first exhibition opponent.

There is an air of expectancy at the Dolphins' downtown office. Projectors and films are being packed. Chalk and erasers, too. "There is a real anticipation building up," said Schnellenberger. all excited, ready to get on the field.
