Cowboys ‘Spring’past Washington
Aggies win with enthusiasm
We, Texas A&M University, won Saturday night. In fact, we won in
several ways.
The first win, and most obvious one, occurred on the football field.
Led by Johnny Hector, Earnest Jackson and Mike Mosley, the Ags
took on a fine Mississippi team and walked away with a convincing
victory, despite what the 23-20 score might indicate.
From the first moment, it was obvious the Texas A&M players were
not going to be beaten. The excitement and the determination was
evident from the first instant when David Hardy put his foot to the ball
to start the game.
The crowd felt the electricity also.
The over-47,000 Rebel fans in attendance screamed for victory, but
the loudest cheers came from a small contingent of A&M students
seated at the very top of Memorial Coliseum in section RR — at or near
the 25-yard line. Their enthusiasm and support was evident to all
present.
One photographer turned to me as the standing Aggies screamed
and laughed sarcastically, “It’s too bad your fans don’t like football.”
Saying A&M fans don’t support A&M is like saying the Lone Ranger
doesn’t like Tonto.
The spirit almost got a few A&M fans in trouble.
In the first quarter, Hardy kicked off and the Rebel fans in section
RR sat back for a nice, relaxing game of football. The trouble was, they
didn’t know about A&M’s tradition of standing during the game.
Nearly 1,000 Aggies stood proudly and cheered for most of the first
quarter, and soon the chagrined Rebel fans hailed obscenities on those
“rude Aggies.”
The Rebel fans put up such a squawk that the older Aggie alumni in
the same section looked mischievously upwards and stood up also. This
really angered the Rebel fans, who by now had missed most of the
quarter. Soon, several policemen were called, and the A&M students
and alumni worked out an arrangement where the two groups switched
places.
As the two groups switched places, one lady turned to her next-seat-
neighbor and complained loudly, “Didn’t you tell them to sit down?”
The exasperated man turned quickly. “They don’t sit down!”
Ah, we Aggies are a fun lot, aren’t we?
The real story on this muggy night was Mosley.
The 6-2, 195-pound senior quarterback stunned everyone on the
first series of downs for A&M by shrugging off two tacklers for a
breakaway 43-yard touchdown run.
All last week, he had said, “I’m going to give you something good to
write about. ” He didn’t wait long to do it.
The victory was by no means artistic, but it was a win, nevertheless.
If Mississippi was good, however, Georgia is better. This Saturday
will tell a lot about the season for the Ags.
The Bulldogs have a fine tailback in freshman Herschel Walker, and
an excellent coach in Vince Dooley. They come home to Athens, Ga.
for Saturday’s game after slipping by a powerful Tennessee squad,
16-15 this weekend.
It won’t be easy, but if desire is a factor, there’s no question who will
win. And believe me, desire is a factor. Ask Mike Mosley.
“If we can cut down on a few of our mistakes and play up to our
potential, then were capable of winning the SWC championship, he
said after the game. “In fact, I think we re gonna do just that. I know
Texas and Arkansas are good, but we’re every bit as good as they are.
Maybe better.”

WASHINGTON — The Dallas Cowboys, their defense
undaunted despite a crippled secondary, defeated the
Washington Redskins 17-3 Monday night on touchdown
runs by Tony Dorsett and Ron Springs and a field goal by
Rafael Septien.
In winning their 16th straight season-opener, the Cow
boys held the Redskins to a 45-yard field goal by Mark
Moseley and handed Washington its first Monday night loss
at RFK Stadium after eight victories.
Washington managed just 16 yards rushing in the first
half as the Dallas defensive line of Ed “Too Tall” Jones,
Larry Cole, Randy White and Harvey Martin picked up the
slack for an injury-weakened secondary.
Quarterback Joe Theismann accounted for the bulk of
Washington’s offense, hitting 19-of-34 passes for 190 yards.
The 100th consecutive sellout crowd of55,045 booed the
Redskins’ offense frequently as it failed to move the ball
time after time.
Dorsett’s six-yard touchdown capped an 80-yard drive
that used up nearly seven minutes of the first quarter.
Dorsett carried seven times in the 13-play drive for 36
yards, including a seven-yard gain on a broken play to set
up his own TD run.
For the night, Dorsett picked up 66 yards on 17 carries.
He also had a 20-yard run, his longest ever against the
Redskins.
Dallas quarterback Danny White, replacing the retired
Roger Staubach, was not spectacular with his passing but he
was effective. Dallas’ pass defense was without cornerback
Benny Barnes, who had an emergency appendectomy
Monday morning, and free safety Randy Hughes, out with a
shoulder separation. Cornerback Aaron Kyle was out with a
foot injury.
White passed 14 and 37 yards to Tony Hillforafci
at the Washington nine midway through the seconil
ter. After Springs and Dorsett could get the ballonlj
two, White overthrew tight end Doug Cosbie in|
zone and the Cowboys settled for Septien’s field 5-. f
Septien’s 19-yarder gave the Cowboys a 10-0 leai |
6:06 left in the half and Dallas took that lead in tliel yol. 74
room at halftime.
Moseley, the leading kickscorer in the NFC lasts I
missed field goals of 45 and 29 yards before finally n
his third attempt of the night. The successfullo-t
came on the first play of the fourth quarter.
After Moseley’s field goal, the Cowboys put
another long, time-consuming drive that led toS|
four-yard touchdown. The Cowboys went 59 yards
plays, 11 of them via the rush. '
