Dallas was an early 10-point
favorite over the Eagles, who
have lost nine straight games
to the Cowboys and have yet to
win a game in Texas Stadium.
He said the come-from-
behind victory over the Giants
Sunday was “very positive for
our team. You know you are
never out of a game no matter
how poorly you play after you
do something like that.”
Award for 1979.

save of the major league
record set by John Hiller of
the Detroit Tigers in 1973, nar-

The Cardinals outshot the
the Bobcats by a single bucket
in the third and led 40 to 38 go-
ing into the final canto.
Lingleville built as much as a
nine point lead in the final
- period before the Bobcats
made one last dash. Vasquez
sank a free shot with six
seconds left in the game that
sealed it for the Cardinals

Atlanta Braves, who was sixth

Landry said “The Eagles
have sort of been in a valley
which happens to all teams
over the 16 game schedule but
they played very well last
week. If we are not at the top
of our game we're not going to
win."

The Stephenville Yellow
Jackets are the last team in
district 11 AAA to have a shot . by Connally. Should the

they continue to play sound
ball and have been a kfcy por-
tion of the ball club all year.
They held the Cleburne of-
fense to only 46 yards rushing
and allowed only 148 yards
through the air. Brownwood
held Cleburne to less than 10
yards on the ground but allow-
ed more passing yardage.
The Jacket goal line stands
continue to be their greatest
accomplishments They did
not allow Cleburne a single
penetration in the first half
and stopped them inside the 20
once late in the fourth. Unfor-
tunately, after picking off a
pass that ended the drive on
the 10, the Jacket offense
fumbled the ball right back to
Cleburne and this time they '
did score.
Even the scoring pass was
completed under a great deal
of pressure with the Cleburne
quarterback hitting the deck
just after his release.
The Yellow Jacket players
of the week included Kent
Stasey on defense and David
Watson and Justin Ladders on
offense. Stasey a gritty
noseguard who has made
numerous big plays for the
Jackets, graded 38 defensive
points against the Yellow
Jackets. Landers and Watson
both graded at 90 percent on
the offensive line earning very
respectable marks.

POTTS VI LLE--The
Lingleville Cardinals evened
up their season at one and one
last night as they defeated the
Pottsville Bocats 54 to 51. The
junior varsity boys also won
63-32 last night. The
Lingleville girls were also
scheduled to play but the'
match was cancelled.

Monroe Vasquez led the Car-

the third and fourth quarters
to hold off a determined Bob-

Cardinals held off the Bobcats
in the second and took the
lead. A last second shot by the

Bobcats.
Scott Smithwick sank 20
points and came down with 12
rebounds to lead the team.
Judd Hare had 14 points and
Monroe Vasquez had 18 points
to put three Cardinals in doit
ble figures. Coach Charles"
Parnell also remarked on the
fine performance of Tony
Payne and Scott Stephens in
the game.
“We shot better and moved
the ball better than we did last
Friday night," Parnell com-
mented. - “We still missed
some shots and made some
turnovers but we are definite-
ly moving the ball better."
In the junior varsity game,
Leslie Riddell led the Cardinal
shooting attack with 24 points
as the JVers defeated Pott-
sville 63-32. Kevin McClearen
added 21 points to the effort
and Eddie Ray Johnson con-
tributed 10 points.
Randy Payne led the JV
defense with 16 rebounds
(seven of those defensively).
Perry Ramsey was also
sighted for good play.
Leading 15 to 14 at the end of
the first quarter, the
Lingleville shooters gained
momentum as the Bocats fell
apart sinking only 10 points in
the final half of the game.
Lingleville will play in Prid-
dy on Friday night and return-
ed home against Poolville next
Tuesday.
Landry said during summer
camp that the last half of the
season is the season for the'
Cowboys.
Landry added “I’ve said
before that the second half of
the season'will be tough. We'll
have to battle every Sunday.
Every game is a must game.”
Dallas must play at
Philadelphia and Washington
and also hosts thee New York
Giants.
Landry said it was doubtful
that halfback Preston Pearson
would be available against the
Eagles. Pearson missed Sun-
day’s 16-14 victory over the
New York Giants with knee
and rib injuries and rookie
Ron Springs stepped in to
catch three passes-Pearson’s
specialty.
“Preston is the most ques-
tionable injury we have," said
and count on Midway
upsetting Connally to take a
share of the title.
The north zone situation is,
not much simpler. Should the
Jackets defeat the Lions, the
race could be thrown into a
three way tie (depending on
the Everman-Cleburne
game). If that should happen,
the Bulldogs, Jackets and
Lions would draw for final
ton State in a high-scoring
affair, 42-24.

Oklahoma, pointing for their

sin, 24-15. And remember, you ,
read that prediction in Hoople ;
— harrumph!
In the Ivy League, it looks '
like this to Newt Haven, our
Northeastern correspondent:
the Yale Bulldogs will prevail
over Princeton, 21-14; Brown
will take Dartmouth, 24-13;
Cornell will beat’ Columbia,
28-7; and Harvard will get
straightened out in defeating
Penn, 20-10
In the ACC, two good games
are on tap. Watch for Wake
Forest, the real surprise team
of 1979, to vanquish the Duke
Blue Devils, 42-14, and the
North Carolina Tar Heels to
score a close win over tough
Clemson, 24-18.
On the independent front,
there are these crowd
pleasers Florida State will
top the excellent South Caroli-
na Gamecocks, 21-19; Brig-
ham Young will score at will
in a 40-20 win over Long
Beach State; and Notre Dame
will win (another close one)
against Tennessee, 24-17.
Also among the independ-
ents look for Penn State to
beat North Carolina State, 24-
14; Navy to defeat Syracuse,
27-21, and Virginia to win a
real barn-burner from intra-
state rival Virginia Tech, 17-
15.

DALLAS (AP) - Now
comes the hard part for the
Dallas Cowboys-three games

They play the Philadelphia
Eagles Monday night, travel
to Washington the next Sun-
day and host the Houston
Oilers Thanksgiving Day.
“That's quite a challenge
because every game is a must
game for the teams we play,"
said Cowboys Coach Tom Lan-
dry Tuesday at his weekly-
press luncheon.
Landry said he is thankful
for a two-game lead over
Philadelphia and Washington
in the National Conference
Eastern Division but said that
can also work as a detriment.
“Down deep anytime you
have a pad you don’t work
quite as hard," said Landry.
“That is humannature.”

placements and the zone bid.
If Brownwood wins Fri-
day...the solution is simple
...and routine.
Coach Leon Manley feels it
was the Jackets that made the
game with Cleburne much
closer than it should have
been.
“We moved the ball well
once again,” Manley com-
mented, “but we didn’t claim
the points we should have..
Turnovers kept us from get-
ting on the board again."
The Jackets lost two
fumbles and an interception
and ended drives on the
* Cleburne 18 and 21 yardlines.
They also stalled once inside
the Cleburne 10 and had to set-
tle for three points.
“It has been so frustrating
%11 year to accumulate close to
100 more yards offensively
than your opponent and still
only win by a small
margin...or lose like we did to
Everman," Manley com-
mented.
The head coach stresses
however, that he is not disap-
pointed with his offense and
feels they have the ability to'
correct the minor problems.
The Jackets have had
relatively good success con-
verting on third down this fall,
particularly on third and
fourth down short yardage
situations.
The passing game has not
been real effective in the past
few games but the good rush
put on by the opponent has
been a major contribution in
that area. -

Chicago Cubs reliever Bruce
Sutter, who tied the National
League record for saves with

Randy Crook, a junior
guard, and Mark Nelson, a

game with Trinity University.
Crook, a two-year starter at
guard for Tarleton State
University, graded out at 85
percent in his blocking perfor-
mance against Trinity. The
vocal junior is one of the team
as triumphing in somewhat of
a mild surprise — but not by
major conference much. Make it: Texas 28,
