Super Bowl May Set Dollar Mark
MIAMI, Fla. (A 5 )—Pro football
Commissioner Pete Rozelle pre
dicted Wednesday the world
championship game to be played
in Miami’s Orange Bowl would
be the first in history to gross in
excess of $3 million.
Ticket sales would bring in
$796,822 based on an expected
full house of 75,546. Television
and radio broadcasting revenue
of $2.5 million would bring the
total to $3,296,822.
This would top by a large mar
gin the $2,768,260 grossed from
last year’s inaugural champion
ship game between the National
and American League champions
played in the Los Angeles Coli
seum before a disappointing
crowd of 63,036.
Rozelle announced to a news
conference that the Orange Bowl
committee will handle the public
ticket sales for the Jan. 14, 1968,
Super Bowl and the 13,000 hold

ami Dolphin games will receive
priority in ticket purchases.
Joe Robbie, managing director
of Miami’s American league
team, said the game would be a
certain sellout and would make
Miami the annual, or at least bi
ennial, home of the Super Bowl.
Each player and coach on this
year’s winning team will receive
a $15,000 share of the net re
ceipts. Each losing player and
coach will get $7,500.
At 49 players per club, the
amount paid out in this manner
would be $1,102,500. The remain
der of the net receipts will be
distributed 50 per cent to the
player benefit plans of the two
leagues, five per cent to each
competing club, 10 per cent to
each league office and 20 per cent
to Rozelle’s office.
Rozelle said orders for tickets
should be addressed to World
Championship Games, Box 748,
Miami, Fla.

there were two.

it takes longer.

It’s been a spartan life for the

SWC Roundup
By JERKY GRISHAM
The Southwest Conference lead
ers, the Texas Aggies, don’t have
to worry this weekend about get
ting knocked out of first place,
but it’s almost a certainty they
will have company at the top
after Saturday’s games are over.
The Aggies, 4-1 in SWC play,
are taking a break after last
week’s 33-21 victory over Arkan
sas and preparing for next week’s
bout with the Rice Owls in Hous
ton.
Wins by Texas and Texas Tech
will put them up front with the
Aggies with 4-1 marks. But to
get to the top you have to win
and this year in the SWC there’s
always a good chance the favor
ites won’t come out on top every
time.
THE LONGHORNS are likely
to have an easier time than the
Red Raiders although neither is
a cinch. The Horns play the be
fuddled Baylor Bears in Austin
Saturday.
The Bears were clobbered by
the Texas Christian Horned Frogs
29-7 last week and the last faint
Baylor title hopes went out the
window with the loss.
On the other hand, Texas is
really rolling and even the loss
of tailback Chris Gilbert early in
last week’s game with SMU did
not stop them from defeating the
Ponies 35-28. In fact during Gil
bert’s absence from the field Ted
Koy showed Texas fans that he
could go far toward filling Gil
bert’s shoes by rushing for 128
yards.
GILBERT’S ABSENCE from
the Longhorn lineup was a short
one and unfortunately for the
Bears he will be back carrying
the ball Saturday.
The Red Raiders must fan
Froggie team which sudii
found itself in the form of l
Montgomery Saturday as tli
gleefully throttled the Bears
end an eight-game losing stn
It’s certain no one can sayi
Frogs can’t do it again thisti
because no one would haves
pected they could mount sueli
impressive offense against
fense-minded Baylor.
The Raiders have the mo®
turn however and for the fi
time since they joined the
ference they can see the flap
the Cotton Bowl waving on
horizon.
THE ARKANSAS Razorb*
for only the second time inn
years, face a bowl-less posts
son. In fact the Porkers stan
good chance of not breakings
in the win-loss column. Gci
into Saturday’s game in Houst
against Rice the Hogs standi!
for the season and 1-2-1 in lear
play.
It should be a battle of
quarterbacks in Houston as
Hogs’ Ronnie South who gorapw
ed 18 of 22 passes against
Aggies, faces the Owls’ Rti
Shelton.
After leading the SWC for:

Cowboys’ Renfro Back Sunda
If OK Given By Doctors
DALLAS, Tex. CP)—The Dal
las Cowboys will be injury free
except for possibly one player
when they meet New Orleans at
New Orleans Sunday, and Coach
Tom Landry has hopes the doubt
ful one also will be on the firing
line.
Landry said at his weekly press
conference Wednesday that he
figured the return of Mel Renfro
would greatly strengthen his de
fense.
Renfro has been out for a
month with an injured instep.
Landry will know Friday whether
the crack safety man will be
ready to resume his adept defen
sive work.
“Phil Clark has been doing a
good job as a rookie,” said Lan
dry. “But he just doesn’t know
all the things a veteran defen
sive man knows. It’s mainly rec
ognition of what’s coming.”
Don Meredith, who came off
the injury list to direct the team
in its 37-7 victory over Atlanta,
will start at New Orleans but
Landry said he wouldn’t allow
him to take a hard hammering.
Meredith missed three gan
with cracked ribs and pneumoti
and showed upon his return tb
he was quite rusty with his pas poned
ing and didn’t run any at all.
“But he directed the team fr# | weeks
his store of experience maste i Soccer
fully and he read the Atlanta® Austin
fense well indeed,” commentt! Carlos
Landry.
Landry noted that the tough® able t
part of the schedule was comitl i ficient
up—the second game with t*
venge-bent New Orleans whit
lost to the Cowboys on a fun#
