Colts ready for Cowboys Polo teams off to fast start Associated Press DALLAS — The spiritually healed Baltimore Colts put their 11-game regular season victory streak on the line against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday in a battle of Na tional Football League unbeatens. The Colts, buffeted by a feud be tween the front office and Coach Ted Marchibroda, have swept aside New England and Cincinnati with bril liant performances from quarterback Bert Jones. “I think the situation helped give them their enthusiasm back,” said Dallas Coach Tom Landry. Marchibroda “resigned” after verbal conflict with club president Robert Irsay and vice president Joe Thomas. Then Marchibroda came back after strong player support. “Ted felt front office interference in his running the football team on the field,” said public relations di rector Barry Jones. “No one is speak ing about the situation any longer. Hopefully, the turmoil is over. It did provide a rallying point for the club like Coach Landry said.” Landry has paid his usual proper respect to an upcoming opponent. saying, “Baltimore is very aggres sive. They play with a lot of en thusiasm. It will take a great effort to beat them . . . They really play foot ball and hustle.” Landry said Jones is “one of the brightest young quarterbacks I’ve seen. He has a great arm and great poise. I met him once and he is an outstanding young man.” Jones was perhaps the most out spoken of the Colt players who stood behind Marchibroda. “Bert was at the point where he felt he was in a financial situation where he did not have to depend on football for a living,” Barry Jones said. “He said he would play out the year then asked to be traded if Mar chibroda wasn’t the coach.” The Cowboys have been devastat ing in victories over Philadelphia and New Orleans. “Baltimore should help us evaluate just what kind of a team we have,” Landry said. “Potentially, it could be the best team we’ve had. But to be honest with you I don’t know how far along Freshmen were the guiding force last night, as the men’s water polo team defeated SMU 9-8. Steve Spicer scored four of the Aggie goals, while goalie Vincente Tazarez blocked two penalty shots in the final period in leading the Aggies to victory. Scott Harris added two points to the effort, with Blake Hin- man, Jim Yates and Steve Moore rounding out the Aggie scoring. “Tazarez played an excellent de fensive game,” coach Dennis Fos- dick said. Bob Leland did an out standing job on setting up plays. “Our main problem was jamming in the middle, and not playing team ball. Our reactions were slow, but all these things can be expected in a first game.” The team will be traveling to California next week to play in a major tournament. The women’s water polo team went into double overtime, to de feat Clear Creek 6-5 last Tuesday night. The first team played most of the grueling night, with Barbara Ger man, Debbie Star and Ann Ketterer each scoring two goals. Defense was the Aggie main method of victory, with Shirley Hill saving the game by blocking two penalty shots in the overtime period. The girls will play a scrimmage against the freshmen guys next Wednesday before traveling to San Antonio to play their womens’ team.
