—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, September 8, 1976 Marchibroda back at helm BALTIMORE (AP) Ted Marchibroda was rehired as' coach of the Baltimore Colts yesterday, ending a two-day confrontation between players and assistant coaches on one side and the National Football League club's top officials on the other. In a brief statement to reporters at the team's St. Marys seminary training camp, Marchibroda said he had been given "full control of football matters" on the Colts and that his contract, due to expire at the end of the 1977 season, had been extended another year. "But the prime thing is not that Ted Marchibroda is back," the coach said. "It's that the team is united and ready to play football." He refused to answer questions or elaborate on what he meant by "full con trol." General Manager Joe Thomas also declined to elaborate on the matter.

The action came after Irsay, who pur chased the club in 1972 and suffered through three miserable seasons before the 1975 turnaround, stormed into the Colts' locker room after a preseason loss to Detroit and berated both the players and Marchibroda. When Marchibroda announced he was quitting, the players, led by quarterback Bert Jones and running back back Lydell Mitchell, joined in support of their coach and called on Thomas and Irsay to bring him back. At least two assistant coaches, defensive ' coordinator Maxie Baughan and offensive line coach Whitey Dovell, hinted they would quit if Marchibroda was not rehired. A statement issued by the Colts said Marchibroda's rehiring was a "mutual agreement of all parties involved" "the coach, Thomas and Irsay. "It was a mutual agreement and it wasn't easy," Irsay said in an interview from the - Skokie, 111., office of his air conditioning company. 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday 865-1871 'Skins favored over Cowboys for crown NEW YORK SAP) When last we wrote of preseason picks, we wrote off the Dallas Cowboys. So much for genius. The National Football League's three National Conference divisions shape up as one down-to-the-wire scramble, one race that'll be decided when the front runners hit the home stretch, and one Secretariat runaway. In the East, the Cowboys, as con ference champions, are the team to beat. The St. Louis Cardinals, as division champions, are another team to beat. And the Washington Redskins, their running game back in high gear, are the team to beat them ... and the team which will do just that. The Central Division still belongs to the Minnesota Vikings, as it has in seven of the past eight seasons. With a defense that chews up intruders like dogs at a flea market, the Vikes can turn aside anything the perennial runner-up Detroit Lions have to offer. 4e oIt.MIAT r Gl + - tfl UNIVERSITY AUDITORIUM Sunday, Sept. 26 3:00 p.m. *"EQUUS" by Peter Shaffer (for mature audiences) Saturday,.

And in the West, the Los Angeles Rams, so used to running away from three other teams the past few years, will get a chance to run away from four this time as the Seattle Seahawks join the also-ran list. Fourteen games from now, as three division winners and one wild card team like the Cowboys last year line up to run the gauntlet to Super Bowl XI, here's how the NFC's 14 teams will line up: EAST DIVISION Washington Redskins St. Louis Cardinals Dalls Cowboys New York Giants • Philadelphia Eagles CENTRAL DIVISION Minnesota Vikings Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Chicago Bears WEST DIVISION Los Angeles Rams San Francisco 49ers • Atlanta Falcons ONLY New Orleans Saints Seattle Seahawks With the arrival of John Riggins and Calvin Hill and the rejuvenation of Larry Brown, Washington Coach George Allen may have more running backs than he knows what to do with. All coaches should have such. problems, right? It was the lack of a really depend able running game that killed the 'Skins a few times last year. The running is more than back. And when you add in Riggins' and Brown's capabilities as pass receivers, the of fense becomes even more potent. And that doesn't include the passing game generated by the guys whose primary jobs are to catch the ball, mainly " Frank Grant, ' Jerry Smith & Co. The deliveries will come from Billy Kilmer ... or Joe Theismann if injuries and age take their toll.

The Cowboys are an old team in a - few key spots, and they've appeared downright shoddy at times in 'exhibitions. They won't collapse, but they will fade a bit. In other words, , we're writing them off again. The Vikings happen to be one of the best defensive teams in the league. Last year they were the best, against both the pass and the run. That doesn't leave much else, except for a lot of punting. -I , And with a pass-run offense builtso strongly around ehisive Fran Tarkenton, versatile Chuck Foreman and a steady - if not spectacular supporting cast, they'll be hard to heat. Los Angeles' big problem starts with the 15th game, namely the playoffs. Getting there will be a breeze with the stampede of running backs like Lawrence McCutcheon, ' Jim Bertelsen, John Cappelletti, Cullen Bryant and friends.
