Page 10 College Station, Texas Wednesday, September 12, 1973 THE BATTALION ’Pokes Tab Roger No. 1 Quarterback Morton Asks to be Traded By DENNE H. FREEMAN Associated Press Sports Writer DALLAS <A»)—Dallas Coach Tom Landry, handling an un pleasant task on his 49th birth day, tabbed scramblin' Roger Staubach as his No. 1 qufirter- back Tuesday and promised vet eran Craig Morton a trade to another team if Morton so wishes. The somber Landry, dressed in a smart maroon suit, said, “It was a very tough decision. Not many teams are blessed with two good quarterbacks. I respect Craig Morton tremendously as a person. I’ve watched him mature as a man over the last nine years. I told him I would try to see what I can do right now.” Morton said, “I think it’s time to go somewhere else. I want to Alous Traded NEW YORK—The New York Yankees traded brothers Felipe and Matty Alou to contending teams in the National League East Thursday. Felipe, 38, was sent to the Mon treal Expos and Matty, 34, was nals. be traded. I will do the best I can while I'm at Dallas, but I know I'm a winner. I can win. I respect the decision that Coach Landry made for the team. “I had the very best pre-season I could have had, and yet it did no good.” Morton completed 67 per cent of his passes during a 4-2 pre season compiled by the Cowboys. The quarterback said he was “upset and disappointed” because he has still yet to iron out details of his new contract with the Cowboys. “There are some things in the contract that they should have done something about that they have not touched,” said Morton, who is being paid under terms of an old two-year contract. “I didn’t want to say anything about it because I felt things would be worked out, but it never happened,” Morton said. Landry said two conditions would have to be met in a Morton trade: “I’m not opposed to trad ing a player if I can place him in a position to benefit him as a starter and we can get value.” Landry said he made the deci sion to go with Staubach to “clear the air so each week we know and don't speculate about the quarterback. It’s upsetting to the team to a large extent not to know and that’s the reason I made the selection. I won’t hesi tate to use Craig, but you needn’t ask who the starting quarterback will be the next week. Roger is the starter unless I say different.” N \ MODIFIED ELIM B/O ON DOWN 16 CAR QUALIFIED FIELD SUPER STOCK No Qualifying Necessary $100 winner runner-up 3rd place 4th place $500 winner 250 runner-up 150 3rd place TOO 4th place $50 winner $30 winner $20 winner $1 5 winner $25 runner-up $ 1 5 runner-up $ 1 0 runner-up $ 5 runner-up TOP E.T.

It took five policemen and two security guards to overpower Ni land after a man and woman said Niland tried to break into their home. Officers said Niland was “incoherent” and refused to obey police orders. Niland underwent a psychiatric examination Tuesday.

He told them of his de cision Sunday. “The reaction was just what you’d expect ... I don’t expect players to compete for some thing they want badly and not be disappointed,” Landry said. “I won’t go into the merits of why. I had to make the choice.” Staubach and Morton split time during the exhibition sea son with neither establishing a superior statistical edge. Stau bach completed 62.3 per cent of his passes and Morton 67.3 per cent. Staubach threw five touch- down passes and Morton three. Both were intercepted three times.

OT)—Nebraska moved up to the No. 2 spot be hind defending national champion Southern California in The Asso ciated Press’ first regular-season football poll Tuesday, but Coach Tom Osborne was far from ready to stake any kind of claim to a third national title in four years for his Cornhuskers. “We appreciate the honor but at this time of year it's rather nebulous,” said the first-year head coach, successor to Bob Devaney. “We have played one game so I guess there’s a little bit to go on. But I don’t believe it means a lot until we’ve proven ourselves. The only rating that’s meaningful is the one at the end of the sea son.” Early scheduling gave Ne braska the jump on other poten tial title contenders and the Huskers made the most of na tional television exposure by sub duing UCLA 40-13 Saturday. It moved Nebraska from fourth in pre-season balloting, to second, and dropped UCLA from 10th to 16th.
