Oh are, it’s nice to have an undefeated team at mid-season, but I think the 11111 Cowboys have gone a little over- 4 ® ward. If I have a choice between atching another game like the dlas-Detroit contest or studying isychology I might actually opt for latter. I can just imagine what a thriller Cowboy-Giant game is going to on Sunday. The Cowboy cheer leaders won’t even be there to break the monotony. Let s face it, the Cowboys are just a very strong, highly talented team. That ct we must live with. But if they want to entertain their fans they must give their opponents a chance and add a flare of excitement to their game plan. One Dallas sports writer has al ready suggested that Cowboy coach Tom Landry actually get out on the and quarterback a couple of Dall.t be ( lea lltlK “P downs. This would be great. At least it would give sportscasters some thing new to say—’’The only coach-quarterback Dallas has ever had.” Another thing the Cowboys might try in order to maintain fan interest Sports Analysis until the play-offs is spotting their opponents a couple of touchdowns before the game. Then the Cowboys could try to outscore the other team in as few plays as possible and spot them more points. Too obvious? How about declaring open season on Tony Dorsett? Obviously every linebacker in the league wants a piece of the Heisman Trophy win ner. This would not only add a new dimension of excitement to Cowboy games, it would also legitamize all of those what-do-you-mean-that- wasn’t-a-late-hit hits on Dorsett that defenses have been getting away with this season. Who was it that said, “Old NFL officials never die, they just referee Southwest Confer ence basketball?” Everybody knows that the most exciting part of the approaching Monday night contest between Dal las and St. Louis will be the verbal battle between Don Merideth and Howard Cosell. Great! Suit up old number 17 and get him out there throwing passes into Cosell’s mouth. Other tactics that Landry might use in order to keep the scores a little closer and the fans a little more excited include blindfolding the secondary, handcuffing Harvey Martin and sending Ralph Neely into motion more often. (Oh, that’s called illegal procedure?) I’m also bored with all the sportscasters who make comments like, “Well we must be in Texas Stadium; look at all the weird shadows.” Will the powers that be kindly put a top on that damned place. ZZ3 * . ^ , ' Wl There’s another thing that might cause the fans to sit up and take notice. If trumpeter Tommy Loy would just once get half way through the national anthem and then forget what came next there might be some regenerated excite ment in the stands. If the Cowboys fail to adopt any of these suggestions all we can do is sit back and wait for the Super Bowl. In the mean time. Cowboy fans, all I can suggest to cure your boredom is change channels and take bets on what color boots Bum Phillips will be wearing.

Overconfidence is only concern for Dallas United Press International EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Dallas Cowboys, overconfi dence being its only apparent con cern, roll into the land of the Giants Sunday with full expectations of opening the second half of the NFL season in the same manner they opened the first half. Dallas is a two touchdown favorite over the New York Giants, a team they mauled, 41-21, in the heat at Texas Stadium back in September.- The Cowboys are coming off a t OliverW §7-0 triumph over Detroit in a game at Catted ^ could have produced an even it straigk m ore one-sided score and the K lit Giants failed to scratch against St. nces andk Luis last Monday night. adway .; So how can Dallas be mentally ered an)* prepared to face this week’s foe? vith mw 1 ’ “Naturally, ” said Dallas Coach Tom Landry, “that is the main con cern. We have to gear up to meet the challenge. T know that any team that beats osecufMj® Washington twice in one year (which New York has done this sea son) can beat anybody. We have not done that in a long time. When New York played St. Louis they missed (running back) Doug Kotar a lot. But they are still a very impressive team to me. Kotar will help them if he’s back. But no matter who the Giants put on the field they will be the heavy underdog to a team that has every thing going its way. The undefeated Cowboys open the second half of the year with a three-game bulge over Washington and St. Louis and that margin could increase this weekend. The Cardinals will have to face Minnesota and Washington has a Monday night date with Baltimore. Both St. Louis and Washington are underdogs and losses by those two clubs combined with a win by Dallas would bring the Cowboys within two victories of clinching at least a tie for the division title. The Cowboys own the best of fense and best defense in the league. The defense is allowing only 35 percent completions in the pass ing department, a full 10 percent below their preseason goal.
