HOUSTON — Native Californian
Dan Pastorini, on his way back home
in a trade that brings Ken Stabler to
Houston, says Oakland’s veteran
quarterback may not have an easy
time getting post the Oilers’ No. 2
passer.
Even coach Bum Phillips, in
announcing the trade last Saturday,
said Stabler, 34, would have no auto
matic advantage over Houston’s
third-year pro Gifford Nielsen, a
Mormon whom teammates nick
named “Pilgrim.”
“I’ll tell you, ” Pastorini said, “the
kid (Nielsen) is the apple of my eye.
He’s been a great friend. He’s a great
athlete. He’s learned more football
in two years than a lot of athletes
would in five or six. He’s very in
tense.
“I think Mr. Stabler might even
be surprised when he competes
with Gifford. It’s going to be an
interesting situation. ”
Pastorini, who age 30 is ending
nine troubled seasons with the Oil
ers, said in leaving he would offer
Nielsen the same advice he gave
when they first met;” stay out of
bars and go to the right churches.”
Pastorini did not take his own
advice, and his fast lifestyle contri
buted to friction with some of the
city’s football fans and with some
sports reporters.
“I’m leaving a city that has not
been the easiest place to grow up in.
It has not been the most difficult
either,” he said. “I’m leaving with
mixed emotions. ”
Pastorini covets the limelight, and
he indicated in a short farewell
speech given at a news conference he
called Tuesday that the media were

Bi§ to get the young pitchers as
K|i game experience as possible
before conference play got into full
swing. But he hadn’t expected them
to be so successful. Now he knows
they are ready.
“Nothing- succeeds like success,
and they’re stepping forth very
well,” he said. “That’s quite a step,
coming from high school right into
the Southwest Conference.”
Another area in which Chandler
was concerned was catcher, where
Buster Turner had started for three
seasons. The catching duties are
shared by a freshman and a senior
walk-on. Freshman Joe Szekely and
senior Doug Teague make up the
odd couple behind the plate.
Szekely has played in 13 games
and is hitting .205. Teague, a walk-
on split end for the Aggie football
team, has made 11 game appear
ances and is hitting .214.

partly to blame for the negative im
age many fans held of him. Local
football fans voting Saturday in an
intormal newspaper poll preferred
Stabler over Pastorini by a count of
43-3.
“I would like to say I’m very sorry
for not getting to know everyone in
the city, for I feel that had I had that
opportunity, it would have been
easier on all of us,” Pastorini said.
The incident which apparently
caused Phillips to seek a trade was
Pastorini’s blow up after being told
by Phillips he could not race drags
ters. At that time, Pastorini deman
ded to be traded.
