Cowboys lose Hill, Morton to WFL
Honolulu, Houston sign disgruntled backfield stars
By The Associated Press
Calvin Hill, star running back
of the Dallas Cowboys, signed a
three-year-contract Tuesday with
the Hawaiians of the new World
Football League.
“We view this as a chance of
a lifetime,” Hill said at a news
conference held at a seaside Wai
kiki hotel. “It was a question of
what was better for me and my
family.”
Craig Morton, the Dallas Cow
boys’ unhappy No. 2 quarterback,
has signed with the Houston Tex
ans of the World Football League,
Houston radio station KPRC said
Tuesday night.
“Terms and length of the con
tract were undisclosed” said KP
RC, which quoted an “unnamed
source.”
Earlier Tuesday, it was an
nounced that the Texans had ac
quired the WFL rights to nego
tiate with Morton from the Bir
mingham WFL team.
The Texans called a news con
ference for 3 p. m. Wednesday

Defending champions have just
begun asserting themselves in
Southwest Conference track and
field, but four of the 11 returning
titlists are still wondering what
it’ll take for a repeat.

were 440 king Don Sturgal of

year when he won at the Dallas
Invitational in 46.7. He also an
chored Texas to a 3:09.0 mile re
lay, another tops in the confer
ence for the year.
Teammate Rudolph Griffith,
the 880 champ last year, lowered
the SWC seasonal standard to
1:50.6 by finishing third in a
talented field.
SMU’s sprint relay quartet, re
turning intact from last year’s
championship clocking of 39.8
seconds, turned in a 40.1 in de
feating Southern Cal’s touted
foursome at Dallas.
Texas’ Paul Craig, the mile
champion a year ago, also has the
top time of the season with his
4:04.9 run a week earlier. He
switched to the three-mile at Dal
las and was clocked second to
teammate Tim Patton as the pair
attempted to cross the line in a
dead heat.
The SWC’s sprint champs had
things their own way recently,
Houston’s Wayne Johnson speed

Baton Rouge and SMU’s Joe
Pouncy using an aiding wind for
a 20.6 clocking in the 220, a sea
sonal best in the conference.
But the other champs were hav

Duc (185-8), Bishop Dolegiewicz
(181-5) and Jim McGoldrick (181-

in three weeks to Longhorn

first loss in a month following
winning efforts ranging between
191-9 and 186-1. LeDuc improved

Softball teams interested in en

been that this conference was
called to announce the coach of
the team, KPRC said it would
be held to announce Morton’s
signing.
Morton could not be found im
mediately for comment but KP
RC said he was in Houston.
Details of Hill’s contract were
not disclosed. However, Hill’s
business manager, Chuck Barnes,
said Hill would be playing in Ha
waii for a “considerable” amount
of money—“Let’s say a consider
able sum larger than he was play
ing for at Dallas.”
“I hate to see Calvin go,” said
Dallas Coach Tom Landry.
“But there’s not much we can
do about it if he signed a con
tract.”
Landry discounted the possibil
ity that there “would be a band
wagon” effect of more Cowboys
signing with the WFL.
“There are 1,000 football play
ers in the National Football
League and some are dissatisfied
and some are going to jump if
they get the right offer,” he said.
“Most of them will make inde
pendent decisions.”
The Cowboy coach said it would
be impossible to say if Hill would
be used the same way as a player
next year as he has in the past.
“We haven’t faced this situation
before,” he said, so there’s no
way to say how Hill, other Cow
boys and the fans will react to
his jumping.
Tex Schramm, Cowboy general
manager, said, “In light of recent
developments, legal counsel has
advised me to withhold comment
at this time.”
