He has been playing football since age twelve, with four years off for Navy duty after graduation from Annapolis. Even in Viet Nam, however, Lieut, (jg) Staubach chucked a football on the docks at Danang. His arm is neither as poor as early detractors claimed nor as great as revisionists insist: just a good solid arm harnessed to the needs at hand...
