Colts May Turn Losses To Profit
WESTMINSTER Md AP The Baltimore Colts may reap belated dividends from their 1967 NFL season as young players gained experience. Star quarterback Johnny Unitas remains the leader, with receivers Richardson Perkins and Mackey, and a retooled defense adding Bubba Smith Volk and Williams. Newcomer Henry Carr and midseason acquisitions shape a hopeful rebound for coach Don Shula entering the 1968 campaign.
