The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 11

Tuesday, Jan. 19, 1 971 Tlio IJnratln Star 11 EUHG i C8LT5 Super Bowl Champs May Qo After Plunkett In Draft SPORT SIGMS By Hal Brown Sports Editor, The Star 133 to call another, even though it is Illegal to ask for a second consecutive time out. "They were trying to rattle O'Brien," McCafferty said. "But we started practicing against that type of thing this year. We had Billy Ray Smith calling time outs and other choice words at O'Brien during practice to get him used to that." McCafferty said that Smith, a defensive tackle, was one of two Colts who were retiring.

Wide receiver Jimmy Orr is the other. While they head for home, Unitas was scheduled for further tests in Baltimore on the battered ribs that forced him out of the game. Other members of the Colts were taking off for a vacation in the Bahamas while defensive end Bubba Smith, middle linebacker Mike Curtis and safety Jerry Logan headed for Los Angeles and the Pro Bowl All-Star game Sunday, The Cowboys returned home Sunday night. Some Colts undoubtedly also will be pursued for the post-season banquet circuit, despite the fact that the car annually awarded by a national magazine to the Super Bowl hero was given to Cowboys' linebacker McCafferty discussed that situation in a noon conference with the owners of the Colts, Carroll Rosenbloom, and General Manager Don Klosterman, who issued a formal statement that said: "We have talked several times with Boston, but only in general. No specific were discussed.

We asked the Patriots not to do anything until after the Super Bowl so we would have a fair shot. They agreed. I think we stand pretty well because we have Miami's choice, which is 22nd, and ours, which is 26th and this gives us leverage in a trade. "The Boston thing and McCafferty's contract are two of several things which will be discussed." The Colts have Miami's first-round selection as the result of an award by Commissioner Pete Rozelle, who took the choice away from the Dolphins for "tampering" when they lured Coach Don Shula from Baltimore. That, of course, led to McCafferty's selection as head coach this season on a one-year contract.

Besides Plunkett, there are several other outstanding quarterback prospects who will be available for drafting, including Dan Pastorini of Santa Clara, Archie Manning of Mississippi and Lynn Dickey of, Kansas State. Miami UP) Don McCafferty of the Baltimore Colts, the first rookie coach to win the Super Bowl, met with club officials Monday to discuss the team's entry into the Jim Plunkett sweepstakes and his own contract with pro football's new champions, "We've been talking to Boston and we will be talking with them again," McCafferty said at the annual winning coach's postmortem. "The way I feel is that if you have to give up too much for a young quarterback I'm not for it." While neither he nor other members of the Colts' official hierarchy mentioned Plunkett by name, it is known that Baltimore covets the tall, talented Stanford quarterback as a prospect to bring along behind their two aging passers Johnny Unitas and Earl Morrall. In previous talks with the Patriots, who have No. 1 selection at next week's draft, the names of tight end John Mackey and tackle Sam Ball reportedly have been mentioned as possible players to be packaged in a deal for the top pick.

The Colts are in the enviable position of having two choices in the first round of the draft their own and Miami's and might be willing to part with one of those in addition to the players. McCafferty, however, pointed out that he might have the prospect to fill the bill on his own club in sophomore Sam Havrilak and, in referring to the 37-year-old Unitas and 36-year-old Morrall, 1 said "I'm happy with the two guys and 1 hope they can play another five years." McCafferty said it was news to him that Morrall had implied after Sunday's 16-13 Super Bowl victory over the Dallas Cowboys that he wanted to be traded. "I don't want to leave this team," Morrall said, "but I want to go where I can play regularly." Morrall sat behind Unitas for almost the entire season, but was the quarterback of record Sunday when he and the Colts gained redemption for losing to the New York Jets in Super Bowl III by beating Dallas on rookie Jim O'Brien's 32-yard field goal with just five seconds remaining. At his post-mortem, McCafferty said the Cowboys had tried to rattle O'Brien," a No. 3 draft pick out of Cincinnati, by attempting to call an illegal timeout and by yelling at him before the game-winning kick that ended the taut drama played at the Orange Bowl.

The Colts had called time out just before the kick and when they tried to line up for the field goal try, the Cowboys attempted tnucK nowley. That award, however, failed to perturb McCafferty. "A car's a the game," car," he said. "We won -FROM NEW YORK CITY, FROM MIAMI, FROM KANSAS CITY AND FROM ALL OVER NEBRASKA- 7 hey Came From Near, Far To Honor Husker By HAL BROWN the Orange Bowl champions. Wyoming and at Nebraska," he said.

"And this is no discredit to any of those past teams, but this 1970 team is the finest I've ever been associated with. "I'm thankful to the players and coaches for letting me be a part of it." Devaney also thanked the people of Nebraska for their support. "I know it's been said before," he pointed out, "But when we go on the road and the home team looks up in the stands, they often wonder if they're really playing at home." Johnson, a native of Texas, told the large gathering, "You're looking at a humble Star Sports Editor They came from New York City. They came from Miami. They came from Kansas City.

And they came from all over Nebraska Monday night to honor the national collegiate football champions of 1970 at the annual Nebraska Football Appreciation Banquet a Pershing Auditorium. Bob Johnson, general sports editor for The Associated Press from New York City, came to award AP's national championship trophy. Keith Phillips, president, and Bill Ward, vice president, of the Orange Bowl came all the way from Miami to honor Wayne Duek, Big Eight commissioner, was there from Kansas City. And there were nearly 2,000 from various parts of Nebraska, 1,600 of them who showed up to eat and another 400 who couldn't get dinner tickets, but bought their way in to hear the program. They heard head football coach Bob Devaney, easily the most popular man in the Cornhusker State, tell them that the 1970 Husker team was the greatest he had ever been associated with.

"I have been fortunate to be associated with championship teams at Michigan State, at presented admiralships in the Nebraska Navy to co-captains Jerry Murtaugh and Dan Schneiss and said all members of the team would receive the same honor. "I want to salute this group of men, who have done more to put Nebraska on the map than any effort that has ever taken place," the Governor said. "Speaking for all the people of Nebraska, I want to thank the coaches and the players for what you have done for the State of Nebraska." Senior split end Guy Ingles was a double award winner Monday night. The little guy from Omaha was awarded the Guy Chamberlin Trophy that annually goes to the Husker player best exemplifying the tradition of the late great Husker football star. Ingle also was named the outstanding senior offensive lineman by the Lincoln Optimists clubs, who also named Dan Schneiss top senior offensive back, Jerry Murtaugh top senior defensive back and Ed Pcriard outstanding senior defensive lineman.

Noting ail the hoopla, Devaney jokingly reminded his underclassmen, "We're going to have a back to earth meeting tomorrow at 3 p.m. in the Coliseum and your presence is requested." Exciting, But Hardly Super No one can deny that Sunday's Super Bowl game was exciting, but Super it was not. It was exciting like watching a fire. It was exciting like an auto wreck. It was exciting like falling out of bed during a dream.

All of those things carry a certain amount of excitement, but hardly any of them are pleasing. And seeing two teams, who were supposed to be the best in pro football, playing the way they did Sunday was hardly pleasing. If a Cowboy and a Colt had been headed for a head-on collision in autos, somehow they would have managed to miss each other. If a member of either team had tried to start a fire, all he would have accomplished would have been to burn his fingers trying to light the match. And if any of them had fallen out of bed, he surely would have managed some how to miss the floor.

The announcers kept saying this was the Baltimore Colts and the Dallas Cowboys prancing across our TV screen, but it looked more like the Lincoln Midget Football League playoff not the Midget champions, but the runners-up. Dial Needs Repairing We flicked our TV dial around so much trying to find the real Super Bowl that a visit from Sperry is going to be necessary before the set will be usable again. The biggest factor in finally determining that it wasn't a Midget League playoff was that 12-year-old football players couldn't possibly make that many mistakes in one game. The Colts and Cowboys had more trouble hanging onto the ball than a Little League shortstop an eight-year-old one. The pro football realignment was supposed to do away with that Runner-up Bowl that used to take place In Miami, but someone apparently forgot to tell the Colts and Cowboys.

It seemed as if maybe Dallas had been in Miami so often to play in that Losers' Bowl that they thought they were there again. Both teams acted like the end zones were infested with alligators that had found their way to the Orange Bowl from the Florida swamps. Playing For Stolen Money You'd have thought the difference between the $15,000 winner's purse and the $7,500 that went to the losers was stolen money and neither wanted to be charged with accepting stolen property. Either that or they figured Pete Rozelle was going to give counterfeit bill to the winners and real money to the losers. The way they were handing the ball back and forth to each other, it looked more like a high school football practice relay race than a football game.

One of the amazing things was that either team scored. The best thing about hippie Jim O'Brien's field goal that ended the whole sorry mess was that it prevented a sudden-death that may not have ended in time for the first exhibition game next August. It also probably kept the two teams out of the record book for most football giveaways a record set by the Street Playground champions and the Northeast YMCA. The Colts and the Cowboys had better hire somebody to tote the money to the bank for them. None of them could get there without dropping some of the loot along the way.

Any day now there likely will be an announcement from Commissioner Rozelle that the Super Bowl championship has been awarded to the Minnesota Vikings by default. native of the State of Texas. "I wouldn't have been at all surprised after hearing all the talk after the Orange Bowl about who should be No. 1 if the Pope had shown up here tonight," he added, referring to Devaney's remark following the Orange Bowl victory that "I don't see how even the Pope could vote Notre Dame No. 1." In accepting the trophy, Devaney congratulated the AP panel of writers for "their intelligence and integrity," adding "If we win it three times so we can retire, I promise you we'll purchase a new one for you (The Associated Press) to give away." This was in reference to Johnson's explanation that after Oklahoma retired the trophy in 1956, they chose not to purchase a new one for teams to work on in the future.

Claiming he was honored to be the speaker at the national championship banquet, featured speaker Dee Andros, football coach at Oregon State, quipped, "I've never been No. 1. 1 was born as one of a set of twins and I came out second." Andros told the Husker squad, "No one respects you more than I do because I know the price you had to pay and the sacrifices you had to make to become No. 1." Gov. J.

NWU Quenches Concordia Thirsf Jayhawks Roll Over Iowa State ATTENDANCE DIPS DRASTICALLY Fans Foresake Crosby Meet To Armchair Quarterback 26-YEAR DROUGHT ENDS AS BULLDOGS PREVAIL Lawrence, Kan. tf) Fifth-ranked Kansas opened its Big Eight Conference basketball season with an 83-57 romp over Iowa State Monday night. Bud Stall worth, with 7-for-8 field goal shooting, sparked the Jayhawks to a 43-27 halftime Pebble Beach, Calif. UP) A sign in the Del Monte Lodge, overlooking the 18th green at the Pebble Beach golf links, said, "Forget Football." And, with a warm sun shining on the final day of the Bing Crosby Tournament, it wasn't hard to do at the picturesque seaside course. But football's televised Super Super Bowl rather than walk the sunny fairways and see young Tom Shaw defeat Arnold Palmer in the $135,000 tournament.

For a while, it looked as if the Super Bowl would even preempt some of the Crosby on television. A sudden death overtime period in Miami might have delayed the telecast of the final holes of play here. remaining time, and the plan worked. Wesleyan began fouling trying to get the ball and the Bulldogs calmly sank free throws to cinch the game. Also putting the game out of reach for NWU was a failure to score after Concordia made its free throws in the waning moments.

The triumph gave Bulldogs a 3-8 record for the season while NWU drops to 4-6. The game also decided last place in the NIAC. Concordia now is 1-3 in conference action and Wesleyan is 0-2. "This really is a lift for the team," said Bulldog coach Bob Baden. "We aren't going to talk about the past now, everything lies ahead of us." By STEVE GILLISPIE Star Sports Writer Concordia Teachers College ended both a 26-year drought and an eight-game losing streak Monday night.

The Bulldogs downed Nebraska Wesleyan, 91-85, at the Ira J. Taylor Gym. The last time Concordia beat the Plainsmen was in 1945 and has accomplished the task only twice in the 32-game series that started in 1942. The win also is the first for the Bulldogs this season since they defeated Dana. 97-82, Dec.

3 in the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's pre-season tournament at Hastings. The victory was no fluke as Concordia took the lead, 21-20, with 12:57 remaining in the first half and never relinquished it. The game began as a see-saw battle with neither team able to take command until Kent Berkeland's two free throws put Concordia in front for good at 21-20. Then the Bulldogs rattled off seven straight points to push their lead to 28-20 before NWU scored again. The Plainsmen added another basket after that but Concordia scored five straight counters to enjoy an 11-pomt bulge, 35-24.

Wesleyan never gave up and battled back to within three, 35-32, before the Bulldogs upped their advantage again. The two teams then played almost even ball as the first half ended. 50-46. In the beginning of the second half, Concordia was scoring about two baskets to one for NWU as the score went to 61-52. The Plainsmen then switched from a zone to a man-to-man defense, but it didn't seem to change matters much.

Wesleyan pulled to within four, 67-63, but two free throws and a basket by Ron Schroeder put Concordi's margin back to 71-63. The last time NWU closed the gap came with less than two minutes to play. With the score. 86-82, the Bulldogs decided to stall out the lead, then Dave Robisch took up the slack to boot Kansas home in the second half. Robisch and Gene Mack of Iowa State tied for scoring honors with 21 points, and Stallworth finished with 19.

Kansas is 12-1 for the season and 1-0 in the league while Iowa State is 4-12 and 1-3. Kansas led from the start and controlled the backboards effectively against the much Bowl, played 3,000 miles away in Miami, was blamed for Sunday's somewhat disappointing attendance at the Crosby clambake. Tournament Director Maurie Luxford estimated the turnout at 20,000. Several times in recent years, 30,000 or more golf fans have flocked to Pebble Beach on closing day despite "normal" Crosby weather wind and rain. The golfers sometimes complained, but the spectators took the elements in stride.

"It was nice to have jveather, for once, that not a soul could complain about," Luxford said Sunday, when the temperature reached a tournament record of 78 and a one-knot wind blew in over Carmel Bay. "It looks like it's going to be a lousy Crosby because the weather isn't bad enough," golfer Howie Johnson said during the tournament. No rain fell during the four days of play and only strong winds about 35 miles per hour blew late in the afternoon on Thursday.
