Dallas coach Tom Landry planned to announce his starting quarterback for Sundays title game with Washington, likely Craig Morton over Roger Staubach, despite Staubach’s late heroics. Morton gained support at Texas Stadium, while Landry kept the choice until today to keep Washington guessing and alter the pass rush. Bob Lilly showed improvement as he recovered from back spasms. In New Orleans, USC led the Sugar Bowl Regatta after day one with 32 points, Merchant Marine 38, Texas 40, and Michigan 49.
