Houston Oilers Battle Dallas Cowboys
Thursday Night Before Sell-Out Crowd
It’ll be for the Texas Champion-
ship of pro football Thursday be
fore an overflow crowd at the As-
trodome when Coach Wally Lemm's
Houston Oilers battle the explo
sive Dallas Cowboys of Coach Torn
Landry.
All the tickets have been sold for
over two weeks for this third
meeting between the intra-state
rivals at 8 p.m. A standing-room-
only crowd of over 50,000 is expect-
ed. The Oilerg pushed their record'
to 2-1 last Friday with a come-
from-behind 19-17 triumph over
the rough, tough Chicago Bears.
The Cowboys carried a 1-1 record
into last Saturday’s Cotton Bowl
battle with the Green Bay Packers.
Lenun and his Oilers will be
shooting for their first triumph
over the Cowboys having lost the
two previous encounters, 30-17 and
83-19.
It will be the first time for the
Oilers to face the Cowboys with-
out quarterback Don Meredith and
Don Perkins, both who have retir-
ed. But Landry has Oiler nemesis
Craig Morton at the throttle with
former Navy great Roger Stau-
bach as the backup. Morton has
come off the bench in the second
half in both previous games to ig-
"Ivin Bethea at the ends with Tom
Domres and Carel Stith at the
tackles. Line coach Bud McFadin
has been alternating his, tackles
ind with George Rice and Willie
Parker spelling Domres and Stith
it has proven a most potent combi-
nation. The Oiler linebackers—
George Webster, Garland Boyette,
and Olen Underwood—will have a
big responsibility against the Cow-
boys but should be up for the chat
lenge. Lemm will likely use rookies
Loyd Wainscott and Ron Pritchard
along with vet Marion Rushing as
his second unit backers. The Oilers
fine secondary, of Miller Farr, Ken
Houston, W. K, Hicks, Zeke Moore
and rookie Johnny Peacock will
have to be at their best to stymie
Dallas' great deep threats.
Lemm will likely go with Pete
Reathard at quarterback. The form-
er Southern California All-Amer-
ican has been outstanding and ac-
cording to Lemm “Pete is rapidly
maturing as a quarterback. He has
become a leader and his play call-
ing has been excellent.” Teaming
with Beathard in the hackfield will
be running backs Roy Hopkins and
Hoyle Granger along with wide re-
ceiver Mac Haik. Beathard came
i off the bench last week against
nite the Cowboy triumph over the [the Bears to spark the Oiler tri-
Oilers.
In addition to the multinile of-
fense used by the Cowboys,, the Oil-
ers will be operating against one
of the NFL’s premier defenses.
Morton and Staubach will be fir- run an even 200 plays with 100
umph and in three games has com-
pleted 35 of 71 aerials for 534
yards and four TD’s.
In three games, the Oilers have
displayed a balanced attack, having
ing to a talented Cowboy receiver
corps headed by Lance Rentzol,
Boh Hayes. Bobby Joe Conrad, Mike
Ditka, and Pettis Norman. The
Cowboy ground game is powered
by Craig Baynham, Walt Garrison,
Les Shy, Dan Reeves and rookie
sensational Calvin Hill. All this
explosiveness operates behind a
precision-blocking line headed by
passes and 96 running plays. Oilers
QB’s have been tackled four times
compared to nine for the enemy.
Houston’s offensive line of Bobby
Maples, Tom Regncr, Jim 1 eMoine,
Walt Suggs and Glen Ray Hines
have blocked superbly but will be
in for a rugged assignment against
the Cowboys doomsday defensive
unit. The Cowboys are led on de-
All-pro tackle Ralph Neely, tackle j fense by All-Pro Bob Lilly, end
Tony Liscio, guard John Niland
and center Dave M&nders.
Lemm’s defensive forces will
have their hands full containing
the high-geared Cowboy attack but
the Oilers have gotten superb play
from their defenders in the three
previous games. The front line will
likely open with Pat Holmes and

interest rates on
Savings Bonds
and Freedom Shares

too for their remaining period to maturity—generally
effective with the first full six-months interest period
beginning on or after June I. (Outstanding Freedom
Shares are not affected).
Buy Bonds and new Freedom Shares—help yourself
•ven more as you're helping your country.
