"I guess there would be several in that spot although in rating quarterbacks so much depends on what team they play for and what they do for it," Shroyer answered. "Now, considering what Lennie Dawson has done for the Chiefs, you can't say he isn't worth a damn. Yet he's an NFL castoff. That doesn't mean the NFL was right. Whether he could perform as proficiently for another team, I don't know." Shroyer figures all pro quarterbacks have to be mighty good else they would be in some other line of work.

Some are just better, day in and day out. "Johnny Unitas was in that category," said Shroyer. "Bart Starr's ability isn't so much in being a great thrower as in being a great field general. But you don't see him throwing many interceptions, either." How about Shroyer's pro first time in 54 weeks. But the New York Mets given an opportunity to pass Pittsburgh, "Ever one else is going to be better, too," Stram says Still, Stram and the Chiefs have their eyes focused on another world crown and.

Stram speaks with complete confidence about his team and points with particular pride to the Chiefs' defense, a grandiose could do no better than split twi-nighter with Philadelphia for a share of the lead. And the third-place Chicago Cubs re mained one game back after a 3-2 loss to last place Montreal.

That defense led the old American Football League year in 18 cf 29 categories and held Minnesota's high-sconn Vikings to a feeble seven points in Kansas City's 23-7 Super Bowl victory. The Chiefs' first offensive and the Cards 21-17 over the same stretch. Schoendienst's club, moved within 54 lengths of the lead before losing their momentum, are still seven games below the .500 mark. But even if the Cards are out of title contention, they surely will have iunit, likewise, will be a cirbon copy of the one which led the something to say about who Four of 36 Hall of Famers wins the elusive half-pennant.

Len Dawson, regarded by Stram as i "the most accurate passer in football," will be the i quarterback. He has fully Cubs three times each in the the new facility, live in hadn't yet been in physical education even though all other charter members, will go up on a wall in the lobby especially reserved for the Hall of Fame. following seven days. since they were, uh, born? foaled? hatched? anyway, they hadn't created any professional football waves in four years until they put together four victories during the current exhibition exercises. It isn't an accident that instant success has come to Don Shula, the coach owner Joe Robbie of the Dolphins illegally snatched from the Baltimore Colts.

Shula has a Paul Warfield on the team to go with Bob Griese and this could be one of the more devastating passing combinations around this season. Don Shroyer, who saw War-feld often while he was an assistant coach with the St. Louis Cardinals and the former Ohio State star was playing with Cleveland, rates him just about the best. During a recent gabfest Shroyer got started on Warfield and before he was finished you had more than an inkling why the Dolphins suddenly were better than somewhat, and had received an earful on a number of other items. "Over-all, in all phases as and outside receiver, Warfield has to be rated one of the best," Shroyer said.

"He has the ability to receive the ball, the first thing a player is drafted for. He has the speed to go along with it. After he catches the ball he's as good a runner as any halfback. "And then," Shroyer went on, "and most important, he does a thing most outside receivers won't do. He will block.

"Warfield comes back on a crack-back and ties into any big defensive end. He's a complete ball player." Shroyer rates Griese, the former Purdue ace, a "great thrower" and one who will grow, in stature with such a gifted receiver as Warfield roaming the field. "Griese reminds me of Sonny Jorgenson, who in my opinion has been the best thrower in the NFL for several years. The poor boy just hasn't had an offensive line in front of him." There was an interruption in the monologue at this point to inquire how the noblest Roman, one Gabriel of the Rams, rated with Jorgenson. "Jurgy is different than Gabriel," said Don.

"Gabriel is a big old strong boy who can drop back and then stand in there with people hanging on him until he gets the ball off. "But as far as pin-pointing the ball, having complete ac When four charter members of Millikin's, Athletic Hall of Fame met' Wednesday at Griswold Center it was discovered three of them education at Millikin, conducted a tour for, left to right, John Luttrell, Don Shroyer and George Corbett.

"Right now he's one of the top throwers as far as the long pass is concerned.

"The biggest thing against Jimmy is he doesn't recognize defenses fast enough. So he throws too many interceptions." So much for quarterbacks. What about teams? Who's for the Super Bowl? "Kansas City and Los Angeles, probably," answered Shroyer. "The Rams didn't lose any personnel. They have two of the best offensive tackles in pro football Bobby Brown and Charley Cowan.

"Hank Stram is the boss and they all believe in him. He must be real thorough because they do a lot of things. "They can dictate what defense you must use and they know what coverage you're going to be in. It helps Dawson as quarterback to know what the defense is sure to be.
