DALLAS COWBOYS HIGHLIGHTS
Plus:
“TIME FOR FOOTBALL” - Opening Week, 1961
Highlights of the new Dallas Cowboys' first NFL season (1960), plus the first ever Cowboys victory (opening week, 1961) make this 48-minute B & W presentation special for Dallas Cowboy fans everywhere! Two rare pro football films - the 1960 Cowboys Highlights plus the NFL TV show "Time For Football" have been combined and include the Cowboys' first win in history, a 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in The Cotton Bowl!
Former New York Giants assistant coach Tom Landry became the first coach of the Cowboys and promptly acquired his two quarterbacks: Eddie LeBaron in a trade, and young Don Meredith in the expansion draft. End Jim Doran and linebacker Jerry Tubbs were the two top players during that memorable first season, however Cowboy fans will remember many other players which are shown in action on this film: Fred Dugan, Frank Clarke, L.G. Dupre, Don McIlhenny, Fred Cone, Dave Sherer, Bob Fry, Gene Babb, Wayne Hansen, Don Healy, Billy Herchman, Dick Bielski, Ray Mathews, Walt Kowalczyk, Tom Franckhauser and Billy Howton. Of course, the highlight of the season is the 31-31 tie at Yankee Stadium vs. last year's Eastern champion New York Giants!
