United Press International DALLAS — Dallas coach Tom dry said Tuesday the 1978 Cow- l would open the season with nd-year wide receiver Tony Hill le starting lineup. He's just been great,” Landry ,.‘The amazing thing is that he caught 85 per cent of the passes »m to him in training camp this ear. That includes everything, jleton practice, man-on-man — wrything. That is quite an ievement. ” I,who the Cowboys drafted in i third round out of Stanford last tar,caught three touchdown passes the exhibition season.

Drew aclassby himself, but Tony has potential, too.” Ichards and Johnson played a key in the Cowboys’ Super Bowl in and each caught a pass in Dal- 27-10 victory over Denver last January. Johnson will probably see action as a kick returner, but Richards could well spend much of the year on the bench. In the only other lineup change, Landry said he would start Andy Frederick at offensive tackle ahead of Rayfield Wright, who is coming off a knee injury that kept him out of ac tion almost all of fast season. “Rayfield is not limping any more and is making progress every day, but we are going to start Andy,” the coach said. be was with the Philadelphia Flyers, and trying to handle both jobs as he’s doing now. As a coach, all you have to do is handle the players, but as a general manager if the paperwork isn’t handled just right, you can eas ily overlook claiming a player and there goes the whole season shot be fore it even starts. If Bert Jones isn’t able to play against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL opener Monday night, and right now the chances are he won’t due to a shoulder separation, the Baltimore Colts will have to go to the bottom of the barrel for a quarter back. It has boiled down to Mike Kirkland, who has been with the Colts two years but has never played a single down for them. One of the things Billy Martin has been instructed to do to put some weight on and fill out a little more is eat regularly, By nature, Martin is not a big man with the knife and fork. He’d see the way some of his players gorged themselves, particularly after losing a tough ballgame, and he could never understand why their appetite wasn’t affected the same as his. “Sometimes I d watch them crowd around that table and I felt like tipping it right over,” he says. “I’d feel like saying to them, ‘You played like pigs, now eat like pigs. George Allen has the distinction of being fired quicker than any other coach in NFL history, hut he wasn’t the only professional coach to be sac ked as an outgrowth of conducting his practice sessions too long to suit his players. In 1948, after Ray Flah erty had guided the New York Yan kees to two straight divisional titles in the All-America Conference, the Y’anks reported for practice the fol lowing summer and began grum bling about the sessions running too long. Ultimately, they brought their complaints to team owner Dan Top ping and Topping fired Flaherty and replaced him with Red Strader. For some of the real lowdown on what went on behind the scenes with the Yankees last year, get yourself a copy of Ed Linn’s intriguing paper back, “Inside the Yankees”. Painstakingly researched and wellwritten, the hook provides you with a rare insight into what went on inside and outside the world champ ions’ clubhouse during the Summer of ’77. It happened during the Giant’s last trip into Shea Stadium for a series with the Mets last week. Jack Clark, the Giants’ hot-hitting right fielder, singled and stole second, after which third-base coach Dave Bristol called time and warned Clark against getting caught off second by Mets’ shortstop Tim Foli, who often slips in between unsuspecting run ners like that. Clark nodded. He knew all about Foli. Two minutes later, he was picked off. the V&RSITY SHOP HAIR CARE FOR GUYS & GALS 301 PATRICIA NORTHGATE 846-7401 :REDKEN Q BEER GARDEN Vk i? i 4410 COLLEGE MAIN 4 BLOCKS NORTH OF CAMPUS 846-9438 ★ Open for Lunch at 11 a.m. - Mon. thru Sat. ★ Monday's 50c Beer Bust Starts at 7 p.m. ★ Tuesday is Shrimp Gumbo Day ★ Wednesday is Open Stage Night ^ Thurs.-Fri.-Sat.
