Dorsett carried the ball only four times in Dallas’ opening victory against Minnesota last week for 11 yards. And he fumbled once near the Vikings goal line. The man who started at tailback, Preston Pearson, had an excellent game, caught a touchdown pass and was awarded a game ball. But when coach Tom Landry met the press Tuesday, Dorsett was still a popular topic. “Tony will play more and more as the season goes on,” said Landry of his top draft pick. “There is no tel ling when he might have a good day. “The main problem is that he missed so much repetition in train ing camp (with a bruised knee). He didn’t run plays for two weeks. He doesn’t have a feel for the plays yet and has not yet learned the blocking patterns of the line. “But I have no reservations about Tony Dorsett. When he makes his move he is really going to make it. I anticipate he will probably play more this week (against the New York Giants) than he did last week. “I meant to use him more than I did last week, but the situation of the game dictated that we go more with experience.” And Landry said that he was not concerned that Preston Pearson’s ego would be bruised by the atten tion paid to Dorsett. “The only thing I know is that Preston has had his greatest sum mer and he is playing as well as I’ve ever seen him play,” Landry said. iT\y a raid/ “Preston has a lot of pride and he is going to play as well as he can to fight for that job.” As for the Cowboys’ overtime victory against the Vikings, Landry came away delighted with his youth ful defense, which had four players starting at new positions. “We were moving and hitting and our young people played well,” Landry said. “They tried to take ad vantage of Randy White (starting at defensive tackle) and he held up well. And this was a good game for Aaron Kyle (at cornerback) been he played great and \ encouragement from that. “And Thomas Henderson(wki linebacker, had the responsibility running back Chuck Foreman 1 much of the day) made someaiij takes. But he came back to some excellent plays as well," But Landry seemed mostpb with Bob Breunig, who started first game at middle linebackail place of the retired LeeRoyJordal PROFESSIONAL HAIR DESIGN '>4 George Ann Hoke, Judy Fondy, Kathy Grimes, Vickie Matthews, Judy McCann. 1510 Holleman College Station 693-1772 (not pictured: Jane Kroll) SEBRING thc OUT IMID tut RMIHM T/trypour hw een kk' A SONNET REALIZED When tradition and modern technology come together in one harmonious design, the creation can be worthy of a Shakespeare.

Cathy Cocke, 18-year-old sopho more at Texas A6cM University and resident of’College Station, is one of only three women in the United States to make the team. The Womens Modern Pen tathlon is a contest consisting of five eyeixts: an 800-meter cross-country horseback ride, a 2,000-meter cross-country run, a 200-meter swim, a fencing contest, and a pistol shoot. Cathy, at 5’6” and 124 lbs., says she has always enjoyed athletics, but it wasn t until this past summer that she had aspirations of making the pentathlon team. “Dad just heard that there was going to be a women's pentathlon, and encouraged me to enter,” she said. Cathy attended a clinic at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas during the summer to learn and practice the five sports. "I had to pick up fencing and shooting,” she explained. Then seven women, including Cathy, were invited to the National Pentathlon held at Ft. Sam Houston in late July. Cathy won the cross country horseback ride, was second in the swim and cross-country run, sixth in fencing, and eighth in the pistol shoot. She and two others qualified for the World Ghamp- rryr ionship. T m already getting scared," she said. Since her return to A6cM, Cathy has been practicing with the cross-country, fencing, swimming and pistol teams on campus. “A typ ical Monday, Wednesday and Fri day starts at 5:30 in the morning with swimming. In addition, Cathy runs about five miles a day. “Bv the time Friday rolls around, there s no energy left in my body, she said. “I really don’t have time for anything — even study." Cathy is a pre-med major and is taking 12 hours this semester. “It’s very hard to keep up, she added. The other women on the U.S. team are Gina Swift from San An tonio and Kim Dunlop from Florida. ‘‘It’s hard to say about our chances, Cathy said. "Since it's the first time for women, nobody really knows what to expect. W; lit t ,st sllll Vesl the I think we have the most inti peneneed team." The trim bniiri says she’s got the best running a swimming ability on the tea feels she hasn't had enoiijgli expl cnee in fencing and shtxttingIn really well. "Horseback riding has heeinU favorite," Cathy said. In the a* country' horseback ride, thecontrst ^ ants draw for their horse and bi )an , only 20 minutes to practice« jumps before their ride. “I still have so much to It* she said. Cathy goes to Ft.
