After posting a 1-11 record for the second consecutive year, the franchise was dissolved by the league on January 18, 1951 because of its failing financial condition. After two full seasons without professional football, the peo- ple of Baltimore were challenged by NFL Commissioner Ber Bell in December of 1952 to purchase 15,000 season tickets within six weeks in order to re-enter the NFL. The ticket drive was initiated on December 8, 1952 and the 15,000 ticket quota was attained in four weeks and three days. On January 23, 1953, under the principle ownership of Car- roll Rosenbloom, Baltimore was awarded the NFL's Dallas Texan franchise. The Baltimore team continued to use the name “Colts” and inherited the blue and white team colors worn by the Texans. Before their first NFL season, the “new” Baltimore Colts engineered one of the biggest trades in sports history. Ina deal with the Cleveland Browns involving 15 players, Baltimore re- ceived 10 Browns in exchange for 5 Colts. Among the players who came to Baltimore in the deal were Don Shula, Bert Rechi- char, Carl Taseff and Art Spinney. These players helped the Colts open the 1953 NFL season with a 13-9 upset of the Chi- cago Bears ina game where Bert Rechichar set a then NFL rec- ord with a 56 yard field goal. In 1954, Baltimore hired Weeb Ewbank as head coach. Ewbank would guide the Colts for the next nine seasons (the longest tenure of any Colt head coach) and lead the club to its first divisional and World Championships. On November 30, 1958, the Colts clinched their first Western Division title with a 35-27 win over San Francisco before a rec: ord home sellout crowd of 57,557. Four weeks later, Baltimore won its first World Championship, downing the New York Giants, 23-17, in the fabled “sudden-death" overtime contest at Yankee Stadium. The Colts repeated as champions in 1959, clinching their second Western Division crown and defeating the Giants, 31-16 in Baltimore for the World Title, In January 1963, Don Shula replaced Weeb Ewbank as the team's third head coach since 1953. During the 1963 campaign, quarterback John Unitas led the Colt offense to eight team rec- ords and set a then NFL individual passing mark of 237 comple. tions. The Colts won a club record eleven consecutive games in 1964, enroute to clinching their third Western Conference ti- tle and first under Shula. During that campaign, Raymond Berry caught his 506th career pass and Lenny Maore scored 20 touchdowns, both NFL records at the time. The following year, Baltimore tied Green Bay for the Western Conference title. With halfback Tom Matte quarterbacking the club because of 86 injuries to John Unitas and Gary Cuozzo, the Colts lost a con- troversial 13-10 “‘sudden-death” playoff contest to the Packers. Under Shula, Baltimore made its first Super Bowl appear- ance in 1968. The club finished first in the Coastal Division with a 13-1 mark then defeated Minnesota, 24-14, in the Western Conference Championship game and blanked Cleve- land, 34-0, for the NFL Championship. The team went on to face the American Football League Champion New York Jets in Super Bowl Ill, losing a 16-7 upset. In May of 1969, the NFL merged with the AFL and Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland joined the old AFL teams to form the American Football Conference of the NFL. For the 1970 sea- son, the Colts were situated in the Eastern Division of the AFC and on September 20, the club won its first AFC game, 16-14 over San Diego. In mid-December, Baltimore clinched its first Eastern Division Championship with a 20-14 win at Buffalo, then defeated Cincinnati and Oakland in the playoffs to win the AFC Championship. On January 17, 1971, the Colts defeated the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl V, 16-13, on Jim O'Brien's 32-yard field goal with five seconds remaining in the game. In July 1972, the Colts came under new ownership as Robert Irsay acquired the club from Carroll Rosenbloom in exchange for the Los Angeles Rams. In 1974, two young Colt stars established NFL records as runningback Lydell Mitchell carried the ball 40 times against the New York Jets at Shea Stadium and quarterback Bert Jones completed 17 consecutive passes against the same Jet club later in the season. Mitchell set another mark that season, winning the league pass receiving title with 72 receptions, an all-time high for runningbacks. In 1975, Mitchell would continue his record-setting pace by becoming the first runningback in Colt history to rush for 1,000 yards, gaining 1,193 yards on 289 carries. Baltimore's fortune dramatically turned around in 1975, starting with the hiring of Ted Marchibroda as head coach. Following a dismal 2-12 finish in 1974, the Colts made a com- plete reversal under Marchibroda who led the club to a 10-4 record and their first Eastern Division title since the 1970 Super Bow! year. In four years at the Colts helm, Marchibroda has guided Baltimore to a 36-21 record and three Eastern Divi- sion crowns. In 26 years of National Football League competition, the Colts have posted a 211-150-6 record, including three World Championships and ten Conference or Divisional titles. Since 1958, Baltimore has won 178 games, more than any team in the NFL for that 20 year period. The success of the Baltimore franchise is exemplified by the number of Colts who have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Heading a list of six players and one coach is quarterback John Unitas, who was inducted in July, 1979. Other Colt inductees include Raymond Berry, Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Lenny Moore, Jim Parker and head coach Weeb Ewbank.

HALL OF FAME COLTS JOHN UNITAS, OB, 6-1, 196, Louisville Nineteen seventy three was the end of an erain the NFL. John Unitas, the great- est quarterback ever to put on shoulder pads retired. After 18 years, Unitas left the game with a helmet full of records. He was the first quarterback to pass for more than 40,000 yards. His NFL rec- ords include most games with 300 yards or more passing (26), most seasons lead- ing the league in touchdown passes (4) and his mark of most consecutive games with a TD pass (47) is a feat that rivals Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak. He ended his career ranked number one in NFL history in five career categories: most passes attempted (5,186), most passes completed (2,830), most yards gained passing (40,239), most seasons 3,000 yards or more passing (3) and most touch- down passes (290). He owns a Super Bowl record for the longest TD pass com- pleting a 75 yarder in Super Bowl V to John Mackey. Holds NFL championship records for highest career completion percen- tage (62.9) and most yards gained in championship play (1,177). 90 7 In his 17 seasons with the Colts, he established 22 records. During his stay in Baltimore, Unitas was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player three times and played in 10 Pro Bowls, the most ever by a Colt. He was 5 times named All-Pro. With Unitas calling signals, the Colts won World Champion- ships in 1958 and 1959 and the Super Bowl title in 1970. Unitas opened his quarterbacking career with the Colts throwing an interception for a TD to J.C. Caroline of the Bears on October 21, 1956. He ended his career with the Colts by throwing a TD to Eddie Hinton on December 3, 1972.

It wasn't until late in the first half that the Colts were able to nab a 7-0 lead on Earl Mor- rall's pass to Tom Mitchell after Willie Richardson's diving catch of a 33-yard aerial put the ball at the three. John Mackey's touchdown reception and Mike Curtis’ 60-yard retum of a fumble made it 21-0 after three quarters.

The Jets had 337 total yards, including 121 yards rushing by Matt Snell, John Unitas, who had missed most of the season with a sore elbow, came off the bench and led Baltimore to its only touchdown late in the fourth quarter after New York led 16-0.

Norm Bulaich, Colts’ rookie rusher, picked up 116 yards on 25 carries. Jim O'Brien, Colts’ rookie kicker and leading scorer, connected with a 44-yard FG, missed one from the same distance. A 49-yard FG try by Horst Muhimann was blocked by Ray May. Mike Curtis, Colts’ middle linebacker, made the game's only interception, picking off one of Virgil Carter's fourth-period passes, to set up an eventual final Colt score. ‘Cincinnati 2/0 00 0-0 ‘STAT LEADERS Batimore 73.0 7417 Passing ‘Bat—Jetterson 45 pass from Unitas (0'Brien kick) — gat—ynitas (6-17-145), 2 TDs, O Int, L-53 Bat—FG O'Bnen 44 ; Cin—Carter (7-20-64), 0 TDs. 1 Int, L-29 Bal—Hinton 53: pass tram Unitas (O'Brien kick) Wyche (1-1-29), 0 10s. 1 Int Rushing Bat—Bulaich (25-116), Nowalzke (10-25) Cin—Robunson (5-25), Phillips (10-12) Receiving Bal—Hinton (3-86), Jetterson (2-51) Cin—Myers (4-66), Phillios (2-12) AFC CHAMPIONSHIP JAN. 3, 1971 BALTIMORE MEMORIAL STADIUM BALTIMORE 27, OAKLAND 17—At Memorial Stadium, Baltimore, Md., atten. dance 56,368.

Stadium, attendance 79,204. Colts’ rookie Jim O'Brien climaxed one of the zaniest professional foot- ball games ever played by lofting a 32-yard field goal through the Orange Bowl! uprights with five seconds left in regulation time to give Baltimore a 16-13 Super Bow! win. The brutal defensive struggle resulted in 11 tumovers, which prevented a fluid, artistic performance but contributed to the drama of the con- test. Dallas nearly put the game away early in the third period when, leading 13-6, the Cowboys recovered Jim Duncan's fumble on the 2nd half kickoff and zipped to the Colts’ two in five plays. Duane Thomas, however, fumbled on the next play. Rick Volk provided Baltimore with the opportunity to tie halfway through the fourth period when he intercepted Craig Morton on the Dallas 33 and returned it to the three. Tom Nowatzke punctured into the end zone and after O'Brien's PAT it was 13-13. Mike Curtis intercepted another Morton pass on the Dallas 41 in the final minute and ran it back to the 28. The Colts stopped the clock with nine seconds left in the game and O'Brien made history.

Construc- tion began in 1949, the final season of Baltimore's play in the All- America Football Conference, on the same site as the original Balti- more Stadium. Work continued through 1949 and the 1950 National Football League season without the Colts missing a home game. Construction was suspended following the dissolution of the Baltimore NFL franchise in 1950, and did not resume until 1952. Work continued through the 1953 season, when the current Colt tearm moved to the city from Dallas. The stadium, in its present form, was completed prior ta the 1954 season with a capacity of 52,000. Additions brought the capacity up to a high of 60,240 in 1970. Comfort refinements have reduced the current capacity to 56,626 for Colt games played before conversion from the baseball configuration, and 60,763, when the football con- figuration is completed. The original Baltimore Stadium was built of wood on mounds of dirt beginning in 1922. It was completedtin 1924 with a seating capacity of 80,000 and officially dedicated on Novernber 29, 1924, when 80,150 persons attended the Army-Navy game. Capacity later was reduced to 66,000. COLTS PRACTICE FACILITY On March 28, 1979, ground was broken for the construction of the Colts new three million dollar office/practice complex being built in Owings Mills, Maryland. The complex will consist of a two story brick and glass building plus two and half practice fields of natural turf. The complex will house offices for the coaching staff, the general manager and other front office personnel. The Colts Ticket Office will move from its present location in Memorial Stadium to the facility. On the ground floor level, the players will have their locker room with space for 96 lockers. The trainers and equipment people will have adequate space for treatment and storage. The ground floor will also have meeting rooms and a film processing area. The facility is scheduled to be open in the fall of 1979. nski, Owner Robert Irsay and Head Coach Ted Mar- chibroda at the ground-breaking ceremonies. 151 Vince Bagli and Chuck Thompson COLTS RADIO-TV NETWORK The Baltimore Colts 1979 Radio Network will cover a five state region plus the District of Columbia.

The band was founded in 1947 when the Colts played in the All American Football Conference. The band remained ac- tive in 1951-52 when Baltimore was without a professional football team and was a strong force in the city regaining an NFL franchise in 1953. In addition to its pre-game and halftime performances, the band annually appears in local parades and has for the past 17 years served as the official Preakness band. The band is an all volunteer group which starts practicing in late spring. The band is represented at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio by its first bass drum donated in 1966. The Colts band was the first to incorporate a cheerleading unit into the band in 1954. THE QUARTERBACK CLUB OF BALTIMORE The Quarterback Club was founded in 1959 and meets every Monday night following a Colts home game. Each year the organization sponsors a Scholarship Awards Dinner honoring the top student-athletes in Baltimore. At this dinner, the annual John Unitas Football Man of the Year Award is presented along with High School Coach of Year, Most Valuable Player on the Colts and the Greater Baltimore High School Player of the Year. A $1000 scholarship is given to the high school Player of the Year. HARRY R. SHRIVER—STADIUM ANNOUNCER Harry Shriver will be entering his 16th season as the “Stadium Voice of the Baltimore Colts".

Colts Corral 954 is the most unusual Corral being formed entirely of inmates at the Maryland Correctional Institute. The Council of Colts Corrals annually sponsors a convention in Ocean City, Maryland that attracts over 1,000 Colts fans fora football weekend. Other events hosted by the Council or the separate Corrals include award banquets, bull roasts, dinner- dances and golf outings with the proceeds from these events being donated to charitable organizations.) Since their forma- tion, the Corrals have contributed over $100,000 to charities. The Corrals have been well represented at the Hall of Fame inductions of Gino Marchetti (1972), Jim Parker and Raymond Berry (1973), Lenny Moore (1975) and John Unitas (1979).
