One b a super-wealthy Texas oilman. The other
is a Chicago businessman. One has watched his
team rise to the heights. The other has taken his
team to the depths of the league. One has the
respect and admiration of the locl fans. The
other is viliified daily in the press. In fact, the only
similarity between the two is that they own, or ,
owned, National Football League teams.
Clint Murchison Jr., the original owner of the
Dallas Cowboys, and Robert Irsay, current owner
of the Baltimore, er, Indianapolis Colts, are about
as opposite as two football team owners can be. I
find it ironic that each has made the news in the
past weeks.
Murchison has owned controlling interest in the
Cowboys since their inception in I960. In the past
24 years, Dallas has had one head coach (Tom
Landry), one general manager (Tex Schramm),
and one tradition, winning. A great deal of the
credit for the team's success must go to
Murchison. In an era of team owners becoming
more and more meddlesome, Murchison has
'remained a silent, unintruding figure. He hired
Schramm Landry, and, the rest, and let these
talented people run the show.
. Since 1066, Dallas has missed the playoCs just
once and has been the most consistent winner in
all of professional sports. They have a nice sta
dium, a front office that is in the envy of the
league and their fans respond to their success.
'Declining health forced Murchison to sell his
interest in the team recently, but even as he
bowed out, Clint Murchison ensured that his
"owner-hands-ofr policy would be continued. In
fact, that was one of the criterion that he
demanded of all prospective buyers. A syndicate
headed by another Texan, Bum Bright, recently '
paid $70 million to $30 million (depending on who
you listen to) for the right to sit in the owner's box
at Texas Stadium'. Bright insists that hell continue
Murchison's policies.
. i
Let's hope so. Clint Murchison was a tribute to
the game.
Then there's that yo-yo, Robert Irsay.
Irsay took control of the Colts 12 years ago from
another interesting character, Carroll (husband of
Georgia) Rosenbloom. Since then, he's subjected
the loyal fans of the Colts to many things, most of
them bad. His latest and worst move was an
outright disgrace.

The middle-cf-the-ni;;l;t flight of the Colts from
Baltimore merely is the culmination cf outrages .
Irsay committed against one of the game's
proudest teams.
' Remember Howard Schnellenberger, the
Captain Kangaroo look-alike that coaches the
Miami Hurricanes? Well, in 1974,' Schnellenberger
was the coach of the Colts. Irsay fired him. During
a game. On the field.
Irsay then brought in the volatile genius Joe
Thomas as his general manager. Thomas did have
have a record of building winners, but he also had
a record of incredible infighting between owner
and coach. Ted Marchibroda built a solid team in
the mid-1970s behind Bert Jones and Lydell
Mitchell Contract disputes with players resulted
in Mitchell and Jones exiting, Marchibroda's firing
and the collapse of the Colts.
The Colts, also known as the Dolts, went 2-14 in
1C31. In the strike-shortened 1032 season, they
were worse 0-8-1. Then came the John Elway
affair, which ended up in Irsay trading Elway to
Denver without telling either his general manager
or head coach.
The Colts rallied to 7-9 last year, but any future
success the Colts might enjoy will be lost on the
fans in Baltimore. Instead of spending Sunday
afternoons in Memorial-Stadium, the Colts will be
playing in the new 61,300-seat Hoosier Dome in
Indianapolis.
Irsay capitalized on the mania cities have about
getting an NFL team. He first offered the Colts to

Nebraska's women's softball team faced its first
Big Eight competition Sunday and Monday in Still
water, Okla,, and left with a 3-1 conference record
and an 18-10 mark overall.
The Huskers defeated Iowa State 4-0 and lost to
Oklahoma 1-p Monday afternoon, after beating
those two teams 1-0 and 2-0 Sunday.
In the first game Monday, sophomore Shelby Mar
tins and senior Sandy Wolterman combined on the
shutout. The Huskers went into the top of the sixth
scoreless, but Ann Schroeder's double and an error
on a Denise Eckert grounder provided the only run
the Huskers would need. Three consecutive singles
by Cindy Aerni, Lori Nielson and Lori Richins
brought in the other runs.

New York, where the Jets have vacated Shea
Stadium in favor of the Meadowlands. Then hs
wooed Phoenix, where a promise of a new domed -stadium
looked inviting. Finally, he settled on
Indianapolis, where the brand-new Hoosier Dome
was waiting.
The Indiana city made an impressive ofTen A
$12.5 million loan at 8 percent, a new training
facility and the iss $500,000 from luxury boxes
at the Dome.
In a last-ditch effort to save its team, Baltimore
made an even better offer: $15 million in loans at
6'$ percent, $-4.4 million in cash for the team's
training facilities, which would be leased to the
Colts for $1 a year and a hefty ticket guarantee.
So what happened? After promising several
times that he w ould not move the team, Irsay
, loaded the team's equipment and records onto
moving vans and pulled out of town, under -police '
escort, in the early-morning hours of March 29.
Irsay promised he'd let Baltimore's mayor know if
he was leaving. He didnt even call In a flash, the
Baltimore Colts, the Colts of Johnny Unitas and
Weeb Ewbank and Don Shuia and the 1C38 over
time title game, the Colts of Baltimore were dead.
It's idiots like Irsay that give pro sports a bad
image. For all the good influences that owners like
Clint Murchison have had on the game, one bozo
Uke Robert Irsay has torn the game down. One
Baltimore sportswriter summed it up nicely when
he said, "Indianapolis, "you're welcome to him."
Schroeder had Nebraska's only hit in the second
game off Oklahoma senior pitcher Patti Graham.
Mori Emmons took the loss, dropping her season
record to 11-3.
In Sunday's action, Schroeder's two-run triple in
the fourth inning gave Sandy Wolterman her fifth
victory in eight decisions in a 2-0 victory against
Oklahoma. Mori Emmons pitched a three-hitter in
the first game against Iowa State. Richins hit a run
scoring single in the second to provide the margin of
victory.
The Huskers were scheduled to meet Creighton in
a double-header today at the Mabel Lee Field, but
the game was canceled because of wet grounds.
However, the Huskers' Thursday games against
Grand View still are scheduled for 2 p.m. at the
Mabel Lee Field.
