HOUSTON — Earl Campbell
rambled for two touchdowns, Rob
Carpenter accounted for two more
and Dan Pastorini passed for one
more before suffering an eye injury
Sunday to help the Houston Oilers
trounce the Cincinnati Bengals 42-
21 and jump into a tie for the division
lead with Pittsburgh.
Houston intercepted five Bengals’
passes, three off quarterback Ken
Anderson before Anderson was re
placed, to ensure Houston’s fourth-
straight victory.
Cincinnati’s Pete Johnson ran 35
yards for a second-quarter touch
down to cut Houston’s lead to 14-7,
but the Bengals’ decision moments
later to punt on fourth down and one
at the Oilers’ 43-yard line ended the
team’s last opportunity to get back in
the game.
Houston erupted for three touch
downs in the final six minutes of the
second quarter on tight end Mike
Barber’s 17-yard pass reception,
Campbell’s 13-yard run and Tim
Wilson’s one-yard run.
Campbell, the AFC’s leading
rusher with 1,140 yards, broke his
own team record for touchdowns
scored in one season with a two-yard
scoring run midway through the first
quarter. He now has 15 touchdowns.
An interception by NFL intercep
tion leader Mike Reinfeldt and re
turned to the Bengals’ 31-yard line
preceded Campbell’s first touch
down, the first score of the game.
But two possessions later, Pastorini
directed the Oilers 83-yards in five
plays enroute to Carpenter’s three-
yard scoring run and a 14-0 lead.
Pastorini suffered a scratched
right eye just before the half and
after he had completed 10 of 13 pas
ses for 182 yards. He wore a bandage
over his eye as he watched the
second half from the sidelines and a
team spokesman said the injury was
“not considered serious.’’
Interceptions of Anderson passes
by Reinfeldt and linebacker Gregg
Bingham led to two Houston touch
downs. Anderson did not play in the
second half after completing six of 12
passes for 27 yards.
His replacement. Jack Thompson,
passed 12 yards to Don Bass for a
touchdown and ran 13 yards for
another score late in the game.
Thompson was intercepted twice.
Houston’s win, coupled with Pitt
sburgh’s 35-7 loss to San Diego, left
the Oilers and Steelers at the top of
the AFC Central Division with 9-3
records. Cleveland was one game
back.
Campbell played two series in the
second half and retired with 112-
yards on 19 carries. His performance
was his seventh 100-yard game of the
season.
Oilers’ backup quarterback Gif
ford Neilsen, who might have to play
against the Dallas Cowboys Thurs
day if Pastorini is not well, com
pleted 10 of 16 passes for 139-yards
and passed seven yards to Carpenter
for the final touchdown.
In Washington, Joe Theismann
passed for 210 yards and three touch
downs and an inspired Washington
defense intercepted three passes
and recovered two fumbles Sunday
to post a 34-20 victory over the Dal
las Cowboys that moved the Red
skins into a three-way tie for first
place in the NFC East.
Theismann passed four yards to
John McDaniel, 10 yards to Clar
ence Harmon and 11 yards to Ricky
Thompson for scores, and John Rig
gins ran three yards for another
touchdown. Mark Moseley kicked
field goals from 46 and 45 yards as
the Redskins handed Dallas its
second straight loss and left the two
teams tied with the Philadelphia
Eagles at 8-4.
Drew Pearson caught a 19-yard
pass from Roger Staubach and a
nine-yard toss from reserve Danny
White for the Cowboys’ touch
downs. Rafael Septien kicked field
goals from 34 and 37 yards.
Theismann completed 15-of-24
passes, leading the Redskins to their
highest point total of the season and
their biggest output against Dallas
since they defeated the Cowboys 34-
31 in 1966. Staubach completed 23-
of-38 passes for 276 yards as the
Cowboys disdained the running
game most of the second half.
Washington went in front 14-3 at
halftime and boosted its lead to 24-6
late in the third quarter.
Theismann moved the Redskins
from their 20, passing 19yardsi
Forte and 21 yards to Danny
before hitting Harmon for tin
less than five minutes
second half.
Moseley’s field goal came
Redskins’ next possessionaftei
Murphy returned an intercey,
the Dallas 45. Neal OlkewitJ

Silas as San Antonio attempted to

Hogs ‘Bowie’ over Ags with youth
By DOUG GRAHAM
Battalion Staff
If Arkansas suffered because it
used four freshmen starters in place
of seasoned players in Saturday’s
game against the Aggies, you
couldn’t tell by watching the game.
After all, the young Hogs won the
Kyle Field contest 22-10.
One of the freshman, running
back Darryl Bowles, rushed for 167
yards and carried the ball for two
touchdowns against the veteran
Ags.
Three Arkansas defenders were
freshmen. Cornerbacks Kim Dame-
ron and Ronald Matheney put up a
credible defense against the passing
of A&M quarterback Mike Mosley.
Steve Douglas started as a defensive
linebacker.
Holtz said he has been starting
AA
■ McDonald's
different players all season.
“I’ve started 46 different athletes
during the year, ’’ he said.
The reasons for switching players
were mostly related to injuries.
Strongside linebacker Mike Massey
was out for a week, Holtz said,
which forced a shuffle of players.
Kim Dameron abandoned his post
of free safety to pull duty as a cor-
nerback.
It was especially crucial that
Holtz’s new starters performed well
Saturday. Arkansas was battling to
retain its share of a Southwest.Con-
ference championship with Houston
and Texas. The Hogs desperately
needed a win to keep Cotton Bowl
hopes alive.
Bowles was started “on a hunch’’
according to Holtz.
Bowles, 5-11, 189, has played in
several Arkansas games, but said it
has taken a while to learn Arkansas’
veer offense.
“In high school we ran the
Wishbone, and it took a while to
learn the new blocking techniques. ’’
The blocking techniques enabled
the freshman to score his first
touchdown, a 22-yard run on a draw
play, and the second, an eight-yard
run on what he described as “a sort
of a trap play.”
“The line dominated the line of
scrimmage all game,” he said.
“They really helped the backs.”
Another freshman starter,
Matheney, said he, too, had to alter
his high school playing techniques
for football for obvious reasons.
“I came to Arkansas to play of
fense, but they put me in defense,”
he explained.
