Pokes beat Giants
ony backs have tough day
United Press International
— The New York Giants learned
an old Texas proverb the hard way
Sunday: The Dallas Cowboys aren’t
out of the gariie while Roger
Staubach and Drew Pearson are still
around.
The Giants riding a four-game
winning streak and new-found re
spect before a record home crowd of
76,490 completely throttled the
Cowboys’ league-leading olfense for
over 57 minutes in building a 14-6
lead. A few minutes later a stunned
audience moaned in unison at the
Staubach and Pearson aerial show.
“All of a sudden we get 10 points
after doing nothing all game” said
Pearson, who made the key recep
tions to set up Rafael Septien’s
game-winning 22-yard field goal
with three seconds left in the Cow
boy’s 16-14 victory.
“The Giants were fired up all day
and we were lucky to have enough
left.”
Among the most fired-up of New
York’s players was rookie quarter
back Phil Simms, who scorched the
Cowboys for a pair of touchdown
passes that gave the Giants a seem
ingly comfortable 14-6 lead midway
through the fourth quarter.
Then the show began.
Staubach, who completed 20-of-
30 passes for 266 yards, hit Pearson
for a 32-yard touchdown pass with
2:24 remaining to pull Dallas within
14-13. The Giants recovered the on-
side kick but were forced to punt
and pinned the Cowboys back to
their nine-yard line with 1:49 left.
“You wouldn’t think we’d score 10
points so quickly,” said Dallas
Coach Tom Landry. “We showed
the mark of a champion.”
Staubach hit Pearson for gains of
12 and 27 yards and then floated a
screen pass to Tony Dorsett for 32
more down to the Giants’ 12 with 53
seconds remaining. Four plays later
with a howling crowd trying to dis
rupt his concentration Septien
calmly kicked the game-winning
field goal.
The Cowboys improved to 8-2
while the Giants slipped to 4-6.
The victory marred a fine per
formance by Simms who suffered
his first NFL loss as a starting quar
terback. Simms, in his fifth pro
start, completed 10-of-16 passes for
150 yards.

score quickly to get back into the
game.
“We had pretty good success on
the ground in the first half, but their
line adjusted and closed off the
middle. They started running a 6-1
defense, moving people inside and
slanting, cutting off our fullback
counter play.”
The Mustang air game accounted
for 170 yards of offense, 142 yards in
the second half. Quarterback Jim
Bob Taylor, listed as doubtfiil before
the game began with a hip injury,
was forced into action early in the
first quarter when starting quarter
back Mike Fisher was hit on a pass
play and suffered a shoulder separa
tion.
“We didn’t lose that much with
Taylor in there, Meyer said, “but
he didn’t get to workout with the
team until Thursday afternoon. He
wais forced to play the game with
limited preparation. We had pre
pared to play the Aggies with Fisher
as our quarterback.”
With the injured Taylor playing
quarterback, the Mustangs de
pended on their running backs to
carry the load. Four freshmen hand
led the duties with each seeing
equal playing time.
“We have our running backs on a
rotation system,” Meyer said. “We
do it for two reasons. First, we try to
keep two fresh backs in the game at
all times. And second, because we
use tear-away jerseys aind they need
to be changed frequently.
Craig James, the 6-foot-l, 215-
pound all-state fullback from Hous
ton Stratford High School, logged
the most game-time for the Mus
tangs Saturday. Against the Aggies
he gained 47 yards on nine carries.
“When we came out today, every
thing we tried was working,” said
James, who gained 26 yards on his
first three carries. “We were execut
ing on every play. But then the bad
breaks started to come our way
again and that was it.”
For the fifth week in a row, the
Mustangs stopped themselves with
fumbles. SMU fumbled five times,
losing four to A&M. Two of the lost
fumbles stopped Mustang drives
deep in Aggie territory.
“We just can’t seem to eliminate
fumbles,” Dickerson said of the
Mustangs’ offensive problems.
“We’ve thought about it, but we
can’t seem to find out what our
problem is.
“I think one of the main things is
that the coaches keep talking about
the importance of holding on to the
football. Now, every time we get a
handoff, were thinking about
fumbling the ball. I think if they
didn’t emphasize it, we wouldn’t
fumble so much.”
