As a (10-year) veteran, it’s tough
get excited about training camp
preseason games,” said Redskin
lie Terry Hermeling. “But now,
r |j I started to get enthused. It’s al-
IllVtiyllike that for Dallas week.”
^ jM as much as the enthusiasm is
B IT mpani over the game that is, there

| f Mrs who aren’t. Both teams are
I t Hut key performers of the past.
■ _ 1/R(|tired are Cowboys’ quarterback
11031^' Staubach and Redskins’ full-
^ ck John Riggins. Dallas also lost
few Cliff Harris to retirement.
He Cowboys had longer to pre-
trd heir-apparent Danny White
since Staubach announced his retire
ment last spring. Riggins’ retirement
became official only last Monday.
“It won’t change a lot having
White at quarterback for Dallas,”
said Pardee. “The Cowboys are still
the same — a big, tough defensive
team with a strong line and an
offense that gives you a wide variety
of looks with some great athletes. ”
Neither offensive standout will be
missed by the opposition, however.
Staubach passed for 612 yards and
four touchdowns as the clubs split
two games a year ago, while Riggins
ran for 191 yards and three touch
downs, including a 66-yard burst in
the second game.
The Redskins and their fans also
haven’t forgotten that the last regu
lar-season game for these teams was
against each other, a disputed 35-34
Cowboys’ victory last Dec. 16 in Dal
las. The Redskins led 34-21, but
Staubach passed for a pair of touch
downs in the final minutes.
Washington tried to call time out
for a possible field goal with one
second left, but was too late, and
Washington missed the playoffs.
Redskins’ fans will always feel they
should have had that one second.
Dallas coach Tom Landry, at least
publicly, feels the Redskins have an
advantage with their defense, which
allowed just 34 points in four exhibi
tion games.
“Washington has the advantage in
that their defense is set with return
ing people at every position, where
ours isn’t quite ready,” said Landry.
“I think our defense has greater
potential than theirs, but we are not
quite there yet.”
The Cowboys were whipped 31-10
by the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sun
day in their final exhibition game,
and Landry didn’t like any part of it.
“A game like that keeps you hum
ble,” said Landry. “When you have
nothing but success, sometimes you
forget how you achieved the success
— through hard work. A game like
that makes you keep working.
“I was pleased with our training
camp, but when the last preseason
game, particularly the last half, is a
complete disaster, it makes you won
der a little.”
Washington tight end Don War
ren is doubtful with a hairline frac
ture of his right leg suffered in an
11-6 loss last Friday at Tampa Bay.
His backup, Phil DuBois, is prob
able after suffering a bruised kidney
in the same game. Veteran Grady
Richardson, cut last week, was re
signed by the Redskins to shore up
that position.
The Cowboys list several bumps
and bruises, but everyone is ex
pected to play.
Washington, 12-4 in Monday
night appearances, is opening at
home for just the fifth time in 14
years. Dallas, 7-8 in Monday night
games, has won 15 straight season
openers.

Aggie soccer team loses,
but looks to better year
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
The Texas A&M University soccer
team lost their fir st match of the 1980
campaign Saturday, but took a big
step forward in determining how the
team will look for the remainder of
the year.
Playing under a new coach and
with several new players, the Ags
fought hard but fell just short in los
ing to Sam Houston State in College
Station, 2-1.
A&M freshman Jim Ngstron
scored the only goal for the Aggies.
“Sam Houston has a very good
team,” said Telmo Franco, who the
Ags imported from Baylor during the
off-season to help with the fledgling
A&M program. “They’ve been
together for a couple of years.
They’re a pretty strong team.
“We have a good strong team to
compete with also, it looks like.”
The Texas A&M team has been
holding several tryouts for the past
two weeks. Franco said, and will
make a final cut down to 32 or 34
players by Wednesday.
Due to the extended tryouts, the
team has not had a chance to really
play together or practice.
“We had to play some kids who
we’ve seen only three or four times
during the week,” said Franco, who
was a star in Peru during his playing
days. “We’ve had no chance to prac
tice together one single time till
Saturday. That was the first time we
were together as a team this week.
Franco speaks of his Aggies in
glowing terms, however.
“I’m very optimistic about our
potential, he said. “They’re spirited
and competitive. We played some
freshmen, and we have four or five
new guys who will probably make
the team.”
Texas A&M will have two soccer
teams for the first time ever this
“This will allow some players to
develop for next year,” said Franco.
The Aggies will take on Stephen
F. Austin Saturday.
