Mike Ford has to lug an 18-pound cast around on
his leg these days, but that isn’t the reason he plans
to stay away from the sidelines for the rest of the
year.
“I was on the sidelines for our game with Tulane
last Saturday and it was tough,” said Ford, the
Southern Methodist quarterback who will have to
sit out the season with a knee injury.
“I don’t want to do that again. It isn’t any fun
when I can’t do anything but yell and scream and
raise hell.”
But even if Ford plans to watch the action from
the stands the rest of the year, he is willing to give
out some advice following the Mustangs’ setback
against Tulane.
“I’m not a coach and I’m not a player right now,’
said Ford, “but I think they ought to let Jim (quar
terback Jim Bob Taylor) throw the ball 35 times a
game.
“Ifhe throws 10 interceptions they should still let
him throw a lot. We need to open the offense some
and he hasn’t thrown an interception yet. ”
Ford also had a theory on why some of the Mus
tangs talented receivers, including senior Emanuel
Tolbert, are having a hard time holding onto the ball
this year.
“When we worked out this fall we concentrated
on the running game,” said Ford. “We knew we had
to develop the run. We didn’t even have a chance to
go down to the end of the field and just work among
ourselves on the passing game. I think that lack of
work is showing up.”
Elsewhere around the Southwest Conference
Monday, Texas coach Fred Akers was about as
happy as he could be with his team’s showing in
Missouri last weekend, Texas Tech coach Rex Doc
kery made some lineup changes and Arkansas coach
Lou Holtz came up with a one-liner that may not set
well with TCU fans.
Arkansas goes to Fort Worth next weekend to
play TCU, a team the Razorbacks have beaten for 20
consecutive years.
“A man will trip on a molehill a lot more than he
will a mountain,” said Holtz in discussing the TCU
game.
Texas, meanwhile, will also be highly favored
Saturday night against the Rice Owls, but Akers was
still willing to savor the Longhorns win over
Missouri.
“We did everything we needed to do to win that
ball game,” Akers said of his club’s 21-0 decision
over the Tigers. “But we re disappointed that we
didn’t get touchdowns instead of field goals once we
got into that scoring range, and that’s going to re
quire some attention.”
In Lubbock, Dockery moved starting center Joe
Walstad to strong guard, where he had started the
past two seasons. Denny Harris was moved into the
center position.
Dockery also said he would move freshman quar
terback Mark James, one of the top Tech recruits
this year, to wide receiver.
“Mark has had a problem throwing the ball,” said
Dockery. “He got hurt in our second scrimmage in
the fall drills and he still does not have full shoulder
rotation in throwing the football.
“He is too good an athlete not to play so we are
going to look at him at wide receiver.”
Texas A&M coach Tom Wilson also had some
good news concerning tailback Curtis Dickey, the
SWC’s leading rusher. Dickey suffered a dislocated
thumb in A&M’s win over Memphis State last
Saturday night and X-rays have revealed no frac
ture.
Wilson also said freshman quarterback Gary
Kubiak, who started the Aggies’ victory over Penn
State but promptly suffered a hyperextended el
bow, will return to practice this week.
Dallas eyeing Eagles

DALLAS — Of all the results
which drifted in from around the
National Football League last Sun
day, the one that caught the atten
tion of the Dallas Cowboys the most
was the one that read:
Philadelphia 17, Pittsburgh 14.
Not only did the Eagles keep pace
with Washington and Dallas in the
NFC East, but they gained a leg up
by knocking off the defending Super
Bowl champions — a team both the
Redskins and Cowboys must meet
later in the season.
“We are going to have a dogfight
all year,” running back Tony Dor-
sett said Monday. “I thought
Philadelphia would be tough all the
way and I thought they would give
us the most problems in our divi
sion. This just shows it.
“Anybody who beats Pittsburgh
has an excellent football team.”
But the Cowboys might be com
ing around to being an excellent
football team themselves, thanks in
part to the continued improvement
of Dorsett.
It has been a slow process for
Dorsett this year, having to come
back from a broken toe. Then, the
first time he gained 100 yards this
year he fumbled three times.
But last Sunday in Dallas’ 38-13
victory over Cincinnati, Dorsett
showed his old form. He threatened
to break for a touchdown almost
every time he touched the ball and
wound up gaining 119 yards on 20
carries without a bobble.
“We played pretty close to our
potential against Cincinnati, said
Dorsett. We re not far away from a
peak. We played an excellent foot
ball game and now we just need to
eliminate some of the penalties we
have been getting.
“If we can do that we re going to
explode.”
Even though Dallas’ victory came
over a team that has not won a game
all year, Dorsett felt the manner in
which the win was achieved was im
portant.
“After our loss on Monday night I
thought that game and our next
game (next Sunday against Min
nesota) would be important to see
how we bounced back. But we prac
ticed with a lot of intensity. We
have some pride and we wanted to
come back.”
