Historical Highlights
1960: NFL FRANCHISE — Clint Murchison, Jr., and Bedford Wynne
were awarded an expansion franchise in the NFL at the an
nual league meeting in Miami Beach, Fla. The Cowboys were
to play as a "swing" team, playing every other team one
time during their first season, although listed in the Western
Conference standings (January 28).
COWBOYS STOCKED — A player pool was set up in a league
meeting at L.A., with each of 12 NFL teams freezing 25
names on its roster and the Cowboys allowed to pick three
from each team for a total of 36 veterans. Dallas, once given
the list, had to select its 36 players within 24 hours (March
13).
TRAINING STARTS — Rookies report to first Cowboys camp
at Pacific U., in Forest Grove, Oregon (July 9).
FIRST PRE-SEASON GAME — The Cowboys, less than six
months in existence, get their first test and drop a 10-16
pre-season game to San Francisco in Seattle (August 6).
FIRST HOME GAME — In their Dallas debut, in the Salesman
ship Club pre-season game, the Cowboys led the World
Champion Baltimore Colts into the final minute before a
71-yard pass from Johnny Unitas to Lenny Moore gave the
Colts a 14-10 victory (August 19).
FIRST VICTORY — In a pre-season game at Louisville, Ky., the
Cowboys beat New York's Giants, 14-3, with Frank Clarke

For Want of Two
... An NFL Title
To say the Dallas Cowboys arrived in 1966 is gross understate
ment. For not only did the Cowboys ripen in their seventh season to
play above .500 for the first time and to win the Eastern Conference
championship, but the youthful men of blurring speed were two yards
shy of being equal to the best team in football.
Those 72 inches of Cotton Bowl turf were the difference when
the Cowboys, mere toddlers in the world of championship football, met
Green Bay, veterans of blue chip activity, for National Football
League supremacy.
The score was 34-27 and when it was over, Green Bay had won
the right to play in the first Super Bowl, but Dallas had won some
thing, too—the respect of every football enthusiast in the country.
The Cowboys won that by shaking off the golden chance to choke
after the Packers had forged a 14-0 lead with less than four minutes
of the game gone, and coming back to carry the game to the wire.
Green Bay struck 76 yards after the opening kickoff with Bart
Starr firing 17 yards to Elijah Pitts for the TD, Don Chandler con
verting.
The prematm-e ho-hums thickened when on the kickoff, Jim Gra-
bowski picked up Mel Renfro's fumble at the 18, and ran in for a
second touchdown.
But before the quarter was over, Dan Reeves had climaxed a 65-
yard march with a three-yard touchdown burst, Don Perkins had
skipped 23 yards for another and Danny Villanueva had converted
twice to tie it.
Starr cranked up again, this time hitting Carroll Dale with a 51-
yarder, for another score to nullify Villanueva's 11 and 32-yard field
goals and leave Dallas back by one.
The ho-hums had rebirth when the Packers again jumped on top
by 14 with Starr connecting with Boyd Dowler from 16 yards out and
Max McGee from 19 yards away. It was 34-20 with 5:20 in the game,
after Bob Lilly blocked Chandler's fifth extra point try.
The Cowboys struck quickly with Don Meredith reaching the
speeding Frank Clarke with a 68-yard scoring pass with 4:08 to go.
When Chandler was forced to punt and when the ball went but
16 yards and out of bounds on the Green Bay 47, the Cotton Bowl
went goofy. There was 2:59 to play, and a possible tie and sudden
death playoff was in the offing.
Meredith hit Clarke for 21 to the 26. Perkins got four to the 22.
Meredith's pass to Clarke was incomplete, but interference was called
and the ball was placed on the two with 1:52 left. Reeves ran to the
one, but offsides against the Cowboys put the ball back on the six.
Meredith's pass to Reeves was incomplete, but the next one to
Pettis Norman reached the two yard-line. It was fourth and coal at
the two with 1:14 to go.

Meredith rolled out, was chased by Dave Robinson and finally
caug"ht. But Don spied Bob Hayes and threw. The ball was picked off
by Tom Brown in the end zone and the Cowboys were thwarted in
their bid to complete one of the all-time comebacks.
". . . it was the most dramatic championship game in history,"
said George Strickler, the sports editor of the Chicago Tribune who
has seen them all.
"... if ever a team attained tremendous stature in defeat, it was
Dallas," said columnist Ai-thur Daley.
"Dallas is by far the best team weVe played all year," said a
Packer player.
The Cowboys figured there would be another day, hopefully this
season.
