...looks like the WFL has dangerous tendencies to start the Rozelle way. After the Dolphin desertion followed a deluge of consistent talent--Calvin Hill, Ken Stabler, Ted Kwalik, and Nick Buoniconti. The only flaw with all the money spent to get these guys was the possibility that it was finite. And thus a ray of hope for connoisseurs of the brilliant balmy vagaries of the busted play.

A better pro prospect, say some scouts, is Alabama's Ken ("Snake") Stabler, who is 3 in. taller than Beban, completed 60% of his passes in the tough Southeastern Conference. Stabler is an oddity because he is lefthanded, but the pros like his strong arm, quick release and thread-needle accuracy...
