to 1966 when they won all their preseason games including Green Bay, the Cowboys already hava been upended by Los Angeles. "We kind of sneaked up on them last year," commented halfback Dan Reeves. "As long as I have been around we always have been getting up for Cleveland, the champs. Now everybody will be taking a shot at us." The Cowboys welcome the challenge. They are prepared with a sound offense, built around the passing of Don Meredith, the running of Don Perkins and Reeves and the receiv-ing of Bobby Hayes.

Lance Rentzel picked up from Minnesota, is challenging Pete Gent at flanker where the veteran Buddy Dial also is available. Pettis Norman and Frank Clarke have a new rival at tight end in Rayfield Wright, 6-foot-7, 245-pounder from Fort Valley State. Unless pressure forces a move, Landry hopes to keep three quarterbacks. He believes Jerry Rhome and Craig Morton, both in their third year, are ready to mature. Landry's complicated offense calls for multiple formations all originating in the I formation.

Sometimes the team runs out of the I but it usually shifts. The starting backfield will be Meredith at quarter and Reeves and Perkins as running backs, backed by Walt Garrison and Les Shy. Craig Baynham, a rookie from Georgia Tech, also has impressed Landry. Tony Liscio probably will take over at left tackle with John Niland, a second year pro, moving into his guard post. Dave Manders will be the center, Leon Donohue the other guard and Ralph Neely.the tackle on the right side.

With men like Jim Boeke, Malcolm Walker and Mike Connelly in reserve, the Cowboys have the most depth at interior line of any NFL team with the exception of Green Bay. Bob Lilly 6-5, 261 leads a fine defensive line that includes 6-6, 262-pound Jethro Pugh at the other tackle and 6-4, 270-pound Willie Townes and 6-7, 259-pound George Andrie at the ends. They smeared enemy passers 60 times last year, leading the league. The same linebackers are back Chuck Howley and Dave Edwards on the outside and Lee Roy Jordan in the middle. Harold Hays is the reserve.

Mel Renfro, the fleet free safety is back on defense to stay after last year's experiment as a running back. Cornell Green and Warren Livingston are the corner backs and Mike Gae-chter the strong safety. Rookie Phil Clark, the Cowboys' top draft from Northwestern, is a prime candidate along with Dick Daniels and Mike Johnson from last year's rookie crop. The kicking caravan that toured the nation came up with its best bet in Mac Percival who lives six miles from Dallas. JOE TO WATCH JOHN ANNAPOLIS, Md.

(JP) The Dallas Cowboys, a veteran ball club laced with a few rookies, is determined to go all the way in 1967. The memory of that agonizing defeat by Green Bay last New Year's Day, when they came within two vards of a tying touchdown in the final seconds, still lives. But Coach Tom Lan-dv and his staff are trying to teach the Cowboys to forget last year and concentrate on their defense of the Eastern Confer ence title.

Competing in the new Capitol Division with Philadelphia, Washington and New Orleans, the Cowboys have a long march ahead. However, the objective is a rematch with Green Bay for the NFL title Dec. 31. Essentially this is the same club that romped through the Eastern Conference with a 10-3-1 record last season. In contrast Lions Impress Coach Paterno UNIVERSITY PARK, Offense dominated the play throughout as Penn State's Nit-tany Lions went, through their first scrimmage practice of the new season Tuseday.

Coach Joe Paterno said his squad played the equivalent of almost a full game and impressed him with its hustle and hard hitting. The drill was outstanding for first unit offense, Paterno said, with junior Bob Campbell of Appalachian, N.Y., a tailback, scoring two touchdowns in the first half and fullback Dan Lucyk of Mahanoy City bringing in another two in the second half. Mike Reid, All-American candidate from Altoona, played well on defense in the first half despite a still-healing knee injury which forced him out of all spring practice, Paterno added. Triplets Down Pioneers, 3-1 BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) Dave McDonald hammered a two-run single in the eighth inning to boost Binghamton over Elmira, 3-1, in the opening game of the best-of-five Eastern League pennant playoff Tuesday night.

McDonald's key hit overshadowed early brilliant pitching by Bing-hamton's Jim Horsford and El-mira's Paul Gilliford. Horsford allowed only one single to the first 13 Pioneer batters. Gilliford matched Horsford's brilli-anc, allowing only two singles through the first six frames. But the Triplets' righthander became undone in the sixth when Gilliford hammered a home run and John Matias followed with a single. John Marrujo later bailed Horsford out of an eight-inning jam.

Binghamton scored all of its runs in the eighth. McDonald's bases-loaded single sent two home, and Tim Sommer, pitching in relief of Gilliford, forced in the third with a bases-loaded walk. Binghamton, the Eastern Division champions, and Elmira, the Western Division kingpins, meet Wednesday night in Elmira for the second game. MAN OF MANY TEAMS WASHINGTON, Mo. (AP) For Ray Degreeff of Washington, the 1967 baseball season was long and confusing, but successful.

DeGreeff, athletic director at St. Francis Borgia High School, managed or coached five different teams between March and August. DeGreeff 's St. Francis Borgia Knights had an 11-5 record; the American Legion team he managed scored a 6-2 mark; an independent team he managed produced a 10 5 record; a Khoury (Little) League team he managed was 72; and his juvenile team turned in a 64 mark. 1 tionai League's Cincinnati Reds two vears aco.

Cecil Upshaw relieved, but the run scored on the first of two ground outs. Tony Taylor homered for the Phillies in the first inning off Ken Johnson, but the Braves jumped on Larry Jackson for three runs when they came to bat. Joe Torre singled in the first run and Rico Carty's hit delivered the other two. The Phillies knocked out Johnson in the eighth on consecutive doubles by Tony Gonzalez and Bill White. Raymond got the last out before running into trouble in the ninth.

NFL Lions Down to Maximum 43 Players DETROIT (AP) The Detroit Lions gave unconditional releases Tuesday to three players ans asked waivers on two more. The National Football League club cut down to the required maximum of 43 men.

Released were Eric Watts, Frank Marsh and Bob Van Pelt. Watts, a rookie defensive back, was a 12th round draft choice from San Jose State. Marsh, brother to Lion fullback Frank Marsh, was on the taxi squad last year. The defensive back was a free agent who played at Oregon State. Van Pelt was Philadelphia's fifth round draft choice last year.

The Lions picked him up when the Eagles released him on waivers earlier this summer. He played center. The Lions declined to name the other two since they can be recalled if the waivers don't clear.
