Oddly enough, He has something to say to both those who hate Him and those that love Him and even those who may not care to listen to Him. We think He has spoken authentically in the Bible in simple terms, not just a lot of meaningless religious gobbledygook but rockbottom facts about people living with people, the energy problem, sexual freedom, war, getting ahead, ugly people, fun, money, fanatics, doing your thing, study and results, hy pocrisy, dirty talk, for Christ’s sake, heaven and hell, body and soul, jogging, smart losers, normal schizophrenics.

Call for Dr. Landry United Press International DALLAS — Tom Landry calls it the most injury-filled summer in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. And he was saying that even be fore wide receiver Tony Hill cut his foot on a piece of glass — a gash that required six stitches to close. 4 1 don’t think we have ever had a year with as many injuries as we have had already this season,” sur mised the Cowboys coach Tuesday. “There are a lot of people sitting on the bench. There is a lot of quality sitting there.” At least Hill will not be sitting on the bench Sunday when the Cow boys open the NFL season in St. Louis. But there was apparently some doubt for a while. “Tony told me he was doing some laundry or something and a glass fell to the floor and shattered,” Landry said. “He cut his foot on one of the pieces of glass and he said he had a hard time getting the bleeding stopped. “He went to the doctor and they took six stiches. I think he can play, though.” This mishap followed such inci dents as: — Running back Tony Dorsett dropping a mirror on his right foot and breaking the big toe (he will al most certainly miss the Cardinals game). — Strong safety Charlie Waters cutting in the open field during an exhibition game and tearing liga ments in his right knee (he’s out for the year). — Waters’ replacement, Randy Hughes, becoming entangled in a lamp and having it crash onto his head. He recovered from that inci dent, but now a knee is giving him problems. — Wide receiver Butch Johnson breaking a finger in the final exhibi tion game of the season, an injury which will keep him out of action for at least two weeks. — Cornerback Aaron Kyle com ing up with a sprained ankle, an jury that could limit his action Sc day in St. Louis. Is Landry superstitious, perhaps “No,” he said, “but all of this s® is unusual.” Even with Hill in the lineup, tk Cowboys have only two health wide receivers going into the St Louis game. Dallas cut seem: stringer Bob Steele with the hope that he would clear waivers, tin enabling the Cowboys to re-actma him. But Minnesota pickedii| Steele on waivers. So with Johnson out of action well Landry must use tight end Js Saldi as a wide receiver. With Dorsett’s status so questios able, Landry said it was possiHi that rookie Ron Springs could stai at the halfback position Sundi ahead of veteran Preston Pearson “It all depends on what wed with our game plan,” said Landn “But whoever we start, we using all of our backs.” "vhld News 50% OFF "GET THE MOST - TAKE THE POST" Kiner’s stormy career may be over ENJOY THE HOUSTON POST FOR THE FALL SEMESTER FOR ONLY $9.25 Sept. 3 to Dec. 14, 1979 MORNING DELIVERY WITH GUARANTEED SERVICE! CALL US AT 846 - 0396 and 822 - 435I United Press Internationa] HOUSTON — The pro football career of Steve Kiner, the guy his teammates called “long ball,” may be over before he wants it to be. Houston Oilers coach Bum Phil lips said he hoped it was not. “Steve helped us turn this franch ise around,” Phillips said. “He’s a coach’s player. He took the news just like everything else he’s done for us, like a professional. I hope somebody picks him up and he makes All-Pro.” Such praise would have been the last thing one expected Kiner’s coaches with the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Miami Dol phins and Washington Redskins to say. Kiner used to be a problem to the teams that hired him during the first four years of a once tumultuous pro career. A third-round draft choice of the Cowboys after he helped lead Ten nessee to the 1970 Sugar Bowl, Kiner lasted one year in Dallas. At none of the other stops did he last that long, until Sid Gillman brought him to Houston before the 1974 sea- For the past five seasons, the smallish 6-1, 220 linebacker played in every game and in every practice. “He knew only one speed, full speed, in practice and in games,” a teammate said. Now, Kiner said, he did not think there were any Gillmans or George Allen’s around to pick up a 32-year- old veteran. “Bum did what he felt was best for him and the team. When you get down to it, that’s the way you play the game,” he said. “This was the first year that I’ve had a good con tract. I spent the whole offseason running and getting myself into great shape. I won’t keep doing that. I won’t keep holding the when there’s nothing at the oth end of the rope.” If another NFL team does notpj] the $100 waiver price and pici his contract, Kiner could rejoinQ Oilers. “Maybe,” Kiner said, “if the> kiss me in front of a sell-out crowd the Astrodome.” Kiner lost his job to two youM sters who Oilers coaches believe had the potential to drop back cover passes better. Teammat Gregg Bingham said Kiner would In all right. “He wished everybody luck.
