Staubach s retirement thrills Philly fans
Eagles look for NFC throne in 1980
United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — The long-
suffering fans of the Philadelphia
Eagles almost threw a parade earlier
this year when Roger Staubach, the
triggerman at the control of the
mighty Dallas Cowboys, announced
his retirement.
Eagles Coach Dick Vermeil didn’t
have to read a newspaper to discover
that Staubach had retired. The move
raised expectations of the fans so
high that, in one summer stretch,
Vermeil heard the words “Super
Bowl” more often than the Pitt
sburgh Steelers did.

TAMU club
to host exam
on campus
The Texas A&M University judo
club will have a State Promotional
Exam and a technical clinic Saturday
on the A&M campus.
The exam will be held in room 206
of G. Rollie White Coliseum at 11
a.m. Room 206 is the wrestling
room.
Periodically, all judo competitors
must be evaluated and given new
belts. The clinic is designed to show
the athletes new styles and tech
niques.
For further questions, call the in
tramural office at 845-7826.
heard somebody yell, ‘Hey coach,
this is our year,”’ Vermeil recalled.
“There’s no question people ex
pect us to be better. Heck, I’d be
disappointed if we weren’t playoff
contenders. But to talk about the Su
per Bowl in July is silly. The only
time you talk about it is after you’ve
won the NFC title game. There’s so
many things to be done. We re not
even ready for the first game.”
Quarterback Ron Jaworski appre
ciates the attention the Eagles are
getting in the preseason picks but
feels it just means the team has to
work harder.
“This puts us in a position where
we can’t lie in the woods anymore,”
he said. “There’s going to be a lot
more pressure to do well. I think
we’re getting more talent on this
team but I think the Cowboys still
are the team to heat.”
That the Eagles are being men
tioned to dethrone the Cowboys in
the NFC East is a tribute to Ver
meil’s work since taking over. Phi
ladelphia has made the NFC playoffs
the last two years, getting as far as
the semifinals in 1979 before suffer
ing a bitter 24-17 loss to Tampa Bay.
Back-to-back playoff appearances
doesn’t mean Vermeil has slacked off
on the Eagles. On the contrary, this
year’s preseason camp is being run as
hard as in previous years.
“I expect us to improve,” he said.
“But we can do better and still not
win as many games. We don’t have
the patent on improving. Everybody
is trying to get better and this year
the division race will be very tight.”

Friends wish you luck
ou a big exam. Good friends stick
around to see how you did.
They say they were just
hanging around killing time and

You tell them a celebration is in
order and that you’re buying the
beer. “Look,” one of them says,
“If you did that well, buy us
something special.” Tonight, let
