Cowboys Star, Gold Medal Sprinter Dies
4
Bob Hayes earned the title ‘World’s Fastest Human’
Bob H ayes, the gold-m edal
sprinter and Dallas Cowboys re
ceiver who was impossible to catch
and tough to cover, died at age 59.
Hayes died o f kidney failure at
Shands Hospital on Sept. 18. He
was hospitalized earlier this month
and had also battled liver ailments
and prostate cancer.
“Bullet” Bob Hayes earned the
title “W orld’s Fastest Human” and
had such blazing speed as a re
ceiver that he redefined the way
pass defense is played in the NFL.
But he later fell victim to drugs and
alcohol and went to prison - one
reason he never made it into the
Pro Football Hall o f Fame.
Cowboys ow ner Jerry Jones
called Hayes an “American sports
hero.”
“He handled the triumphs and
the setbacks with the same grace
and humility,” Jones said. “He car
ried the pride o f a champion in his
heart at all times, and he always

had a smile for everyone.”
At the 1964 Tokyo Olympics,
Hayes won the gold medal in the
100 meters, tying the world record
o f 10.05 seconds, and he anchored
the U.S. 400-m eter relay team to
victory in a world-record 39.06.
H ayes’ relay split was an unof
ficial 8.6. Nearly 20 years later, The
Los Angeles Times called it “the
most astonishing sprint ofall time.”
“ His legacy will live on for our
generation and younger genera
tions,” five-time Olympic medalist
Marion Jones said.
Robert Lee Hayes was bom in
JacksonvilleonD ec.20,1942,and
went on to become a track star at
Florida A&M.
In 1964, the Cowboys drafted
him in the seventh round, taking a
chance on an in cred ib ly fast
sprinter with unrefined football
skills.
In his rookie season with the
Cowboys, Hayes had 1,000 yards
and 12 touchdowns while leading
the NFL with an average o f 21.8
yards a catch.
That showed his big-play abil
ity, and Hayes’ world-class speed
forced defenses - unable to cover
him with traditional man-to-man
schemes - to come up with many of
the zone defenses that are com
mon in today’s game.
“The type o f game you see now
is a game that Bob Hayes is more
responsible for than any one per
son,” said Tex Schramm, former
Cowboys president and general
manager.
When Dallas won the 1972 Su
per Bowl, Hayes became the only
athlete to win an Olympic gold
medal and a Super Bowl ring. More
than 30 years later, h e’s still the
only player with both.

Missing Brother’s Last Location Traced
(A P)— By tracking calls made
from a satellite phone, investiga
tors in French Polynesia have
mapped out where Bison D ele’s
luxury catamaran was sailing when
he and two com panions disap
peared.
O nJuly6or7— when the former
NBA player, his girlfriend and the
skipper were last seen — the boat
was sailing near the tiny island o f
Maiao, west o f Tahiti, investigat
ing judge Jean-Bernard Taliercio
said Monday. Authorities studied
how calls made from aboard inter
acted with a satcl lite, tracking down
the boat’s coordinates.
French Polynesian officials have
based their investigation on the
suspicion that D ele’s brother,
Miles Dabord, who had been trav
eling with the group, was respon
sible for the deaths o f Dele, his
girlfriend Serena Karlan, and skip
per Bertrand Saldo.
Investigators believe the bod
ies were dumped overboard. They
have said they are searching for
bodies in the South Pacific, though
they don't have much hope o f find
ing anything more than 10 weeks
since the disappearances.
Dabord, inacom ainaCalifom ia
hospital, has not been charged in
the United States in connection
with the disappearances. After his
com panions vanished, he spent
a b o u t tw o w ee k s in F ren ch
Polynesia before flying home.
Dabord, form erly known as
Kevin Williams, aroused suspicion
when he signed his brother’s name
to try to buy $ 152,000 worth ofgold
in Phoenix. After he was discov
ered in a coma in Tijuana, Mexico
on Sept. 14, Dabord was arrested
on suspicion o f impersonating his
younger brother.
D a b o rd ’s m o th e r, P atric ia
Phillips, said her son is on life sup
port after overdosing on insulin
and failing to take hisasthma medi
cine, the Los Angeles Times re
ported.
F B I a g e n ts to ld Ju d g e
T aliercio days ago that Dabord
had “very little chance o f surviv
ing,” he said.
With chances o f Dabord’s re
covery growing slimmer, second
hand testimony from his former
girlfriend becomes more important.
Erica W eise joined Dabord briefly
on the island o f Moorea after the
disappearances. After returning
home, she informed authorities that
Dabord had told her o f an onboard
struggle that left his companions
dead, investigators said.
Tahitian judicial authorities arc
planning to send investigators to
the United States to try to speak to
Weise and Dabord, if he wakes
from his coma.
The free-spirited former athlete
planned an ambitious sailing trip
from New Zealand to Hawaii, but
he and his two friends were never
seen again after their extended stay
