FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The Arkansas Razorbacks’ concentration pleased coach Lou Holtz Monday during a rain, light-contact practice. “We got something done without having to hit a lot,” Holtz said. “I was impressed with our concentra tion. It seems like our concentration A young defensive squad will suit out against Kansas on Sep- ember 10th, with the real question mark falling upon the defensive secondary. Last year A&M’s secondary began Jtaubach will not start slowly, but was solid by the end of the season. Willie Thompson (No. 17) was badly beaten on this play against Texas Tech. United Press International ^LLAS — Dallas coach Tom ry said yesterday quarterback r Stauback would miss his sec- straight exhibition game this :end because of a pulled ham- muscle. ioger is throwing in practice ^ day, ’ said Landry. “But he D jult set up quick and strong. He is j Ing ready for the season even Hugh he isn’t playing. , ' l |ut the doctors say it is best to ^ nib »it until our last preseason game to him. He has some discoloration lenty of soreness.” Would Landry play Stauback this against the Houston Oilers if it [a regular season game, hat would be a tough decision, ” Landry. “If he pulls the muscle it would be five or six weeks e he would be ready. So we ust wait another week, loger just doesn’t heal as quick he used to. ” it means backup quarterback |ny White, who guided the boys in a late drive that pulled 23-21 win over Baltimore last , will get his second straight for Dallas. Bl )S6 And while Landry expressed mild concern over Staubach’s condition, he was not concerned at all over the shape of his prized rookie running back — Tony Dorsett. Dorsett had been bothered by a brusied knee during training camp, but he gained 99 yards in 18 carries in his most extensive workout to date last week. “Tony is all right physically,” Landry said. “His performance last week was real encouraging. It was not surprising, of course. We ex pected it.” Dorsett’s quick bursts — more than once he appeared on the verge of breaking for long distance touchdowns — make him a likely candidate for a starting position when the Cowboys open the regular season next month at Minnesota. But Landry is not yet ready to say who will be his starting halfback. “I would not like to go on record at this time with a definite state ment,” Landry said. “I know Dor sett will play a lot and Preston Pear son will play a lot. They are both valuable to the team. “We re not going to hold Tony out of action this week. He is ready to play and if you are going to try to protect a player who is well you might as well not play him at all. “What’s more, he needs the work. He needs the experience. If he is going to play against Min nesota he needs all the experience he can get. □ i Landes ltd RENTALS: low rates for all rivers SALES: Aluminum & ABS Canoes Maps, Paddles, Eureka Tents Camp Trails Backpacks Also your TEXAS CANOE TRAILS rental agent for canoe, kayak, raft rentals on the GUADALUPE RIVER.
