Pearson receives attention
United Press International
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. —
Although their extensive scouting
system has opposing organizations
drooling, the Dallas Cowboys blew
one in the 1973 NFL draft.
But so did 25 other teams.
Dallas wide receiver Drew Pear
son, who has been voted to the Pro
Bowl the past three seasons, drew
negative responses from 26 pro
teams in the 1973 draft, after switch
ing from quarterback to flanker his
senior year at Tulsa.
afraid to go across the middle and
get hit,” said Pearson after Sunday’s
victory over the New York Giants.
“Tlie slant-in is my bread and butter
play and it requires total concentra
tion because you know you’re going
to get popped.”
Strangely, the biggest catch of
Pearson’s career involved little con
tact — but much controversy.
Some of those late Cowboy draft
choices in ’73 form a trivia buffs
Hall of Fame: linebacker Walt
Baisy, tight end John Conley and
wide receiver John Smith. Dallas
even drafted one of Pearson’s
teammates, defensive back Drane
Scrivener, in the fourth round, but
passed on the 6-foot, 180-pound
Pearson.
In the 1975 NFC playoffs, the
wild card Cowboys stunned the
Minnesota Vikings 17-14 on Roger
Staubach’s 50-yard TD heave to
Pearson, who ran down the right
sideline and outfought cornerback
Nate Wright for the ball with 24
seconds left.
It was only the most spectacular
in an impressive string of clutch re
ceptions by the 27-year-old Pear-
Pearson signed with the Cowboys
as a free agent in 1973 and he has
led the team in receiving every sea
son but his rookie year. His unique
ness, however, lies not in the juan-
tity of his receptions, but th< qual
ity-
"I m proud of the fact that I ’m not
In his rookie year, he grabbed an
83-yard TD pass to help beat Los
Angeles in the playoffs, and he beat
Washington in the final seconds of a
key 1974 game with a long
touchdown reception from reserve
quarterback Clint Longley.
One of his catches against the
Giants was quintessential Pearson:
Flanked out to the right against
rookie cornerback Terry Jackson,
Pearson went down 15 yards, gave
Jackson a sideline fake and turned in
over the middle. Staubach’s pass
was high and Pearson went straight
up and hung on to the ball with a
fingertip grab as he was belted by
two defenders.
"I had to use my basketball skills
to get up and grab that one,” said
Pearson, who has earned the praise
of his veteran quarterback.
“Tony Hill (young Dallas re
ceiver) may have the ability Drew
has, said Staubach, “but Pearson is
something special — he has a un
ique feel for the ball.”
Despite his fearlessness in cros
sing the no man’s land in the secon
dary, Pearson was deeply affected
by the paralyzing neck injury suf
fered by New England receiver
Darryl Stingley last month.
“Stingley’s injury shocked me,”
he admitted. “We are essentially
the same type of receivers — he also
likes to go over the middle — and
we came into the league at the same
time.
“I have to block it out of my mind
during the game but I’ll tell you
this: I say a prayer for him every
time I step onto the field.”
Oiler defense praises offense
United Press International
HOUSTON — In what might be
the major upset of the Houston Oil
ers season, several Oilers defensive
players have praised the team’s of
fense.
Two fourth-quarter offensive
drives of 53 and 65 yards Sunday
pulled out Houston’s 20-17 win over
Kansas City and caused what ap
peared to be a turnaround in the at
titude of some players.
“Two great drives,” said
linebacker Gregg Bingham. “A few
years ago, our offense wouldn’t have
been able to come back like that. It
would have been a case of telling
yourself, “There goes another one.’”
Said cornerback Willie Alexan
der, “As long as Earl (Campbell) is
healthy, and we’ve got Rob Car
penter, Tim Wilson and Ronnie
Coleman, our offense will be a prob
lem for people.”
"Right,” said Bingham, “Earl
should be praised. But we can’t
forget Wilson, Carpenter and Col
eman.”
In past seasons, Bingham has not
hesitated to criticize Houston’s in
consistent offense.
Head coach Bum Phillips Monday
said the the Oilers big three running
backs of 1977 have not been forgot
ten. Wilson, Carpenter and Col
eman, who totaled 1,655 rushing
yards last season, have been moved
to backup roles because of rookie
Campbell, whose 111 rushing yards
against the Chiefs j^ive him 248 and
a 6.7-yard average in two games.
“I’m not worried when the these
guys (besides Campbell) are in the
game,” Phillips said, “but you go
with the best you’ve got.”
Campbell ran for both of Hous
ton’s touchdowns Sunday, and after
the second one came with 1:53 left
to play he walked the sideline and
led cheers for the defense. Although
the Chiefs’ “Wing T” offense had
run over Houston for 261 running
yards, Houston’s defense threw it
back on its final possession.

The proposed addition of a third
deck to Kyle Field will mean more
to the students of Texas A&M than
extra seating for football games.
“The east deck will connect to an
addition to G. Rollie White Col
iseum and house a multitude of
facilities for the physical education,
health education and intramural de
partments,” said Dr. Carl Landis,
project coordinator for the physical
education facility. "The west deck
will h ouse the atheletic depart
ment. ”
“We need this facility right now,”
said Dennis Corrington, director of
intramurals. “The handball courts
are overcrowded, the basketball
courts are full, we need the room.
.‘The new facility will have an
elevator to all levels which will allow
handicapped students to use all the
facilities, which they can’t do now.
“In addi tion the building will
have adequate locker facilities for
women," Corrington added.
The first floor of Kyle Field will
have a rifle range for pellet guns, 14
regulation handball-racket ball
courts, three classroons, five semi
nar rooms and offices for the physi
cal education, health education and
intramural departments.
The first floor of the addition to
the coliseum will be women’s dres
sing rooms and an expansion of the
adapted P.E. gym.
Kyle Field s second floor will
house a human performance re
search lab, classrooms and a dance
studio.
