Three Objectives Improve Chiefs Under Hank Strait
Head Coach Hank Strait outlines three aims for the Kansas City Chiefs after a 7-5-2 season. Replace Mack Lee Hill who died during knee surgery and Mel Branch who left in the expansion draft. Build depth on both lines and fill key backfield roles with Curtis McClinton moving to fullback and candidates Bert Coan Ron Burton and rookie Mike Garrett competing for the running back job. Len Dawson and Pete Beathard provide quarterback depth while the defense returns with Jerry Mays at end and a battle for the opposite end between Chuck Harston and Aaron Brown.
