; to Athens Sometimes it doesn’t turn out that
w to be an exciting affair. And that
Bn’t an exciting affair, except for
Is.
■We enjoyed the type of approach
■took in the game because it is not
Bsual characteristic of our team to
■e on another team so strong as we
did in this game and have it end up as
it did.
“We felt we had to cut down our
errors. We had to stay on the
ground, use up time, prevent
(Washington quarterback Joe) Theis-
mann from throwing into our secon
dary — which was inexperienced,
but very effective as it turned out.’’
The Cowboys dominated the
game on the ground and despite a
youthful group in the secondary —
damaged even further on the eve of
the game by the loss of cornerback
Benny Barnes to appendicitis — the
defensive backfield kept Theismann
from hitting the long pass.
“Our defense was the thing we felt
we needed to win the game,” said
Landry, “and they did what I
thought they would do up front —
controlling the running game. They
did a superb job. The secondary was
a concern and it still has to be a con
cern. You don’t play one game and
eliminate our concern back there.
“But I was proud of the team. It’s
pretty hard to play in that stadium
under any circumstances, regardless
of how much experience you have.
But our guys played well, played
tough, didn’t make errors that were
critical and that was a significant
thing.”
Landry said the outcome was im
portant from a confidence stand
point.
“It was a very significant game for
us.” he said. “I think our confidence
is very important at this point be
cause we need to have a confidence
factor on offense and defense — in
re-establishing Danny White on
offense and in our secondary on de
fense.
“So I think it probably helped us
more in winning than it hurt
Washington in their loss. I’m sure it
hurt them some, hut they will prob
ably bounce back. It helped us a
great deal because we need these
kind of victories for a while.”
The Cowboys Wednesday signed
free agent Roland Solomon, a defen
sive back from Utah, to fill in for
cornerback Barnes, lost for four to six
weeks because of an emergency
appendectomy Monday.
Solomon, 6-feet, 196 pounds, had
been signed earlier by the Cowboys
and trained with the team this sum
mer at Thousand Oaks, Calif., but he
was cut when NFL team rosters
were pared down.
Solomon was signed by the Kansas
City Chiefs and played one pre
season game before being cut again.
At both Kansas City and Dallas, he
was among the last cuts in the pre
season.
Barnes will remain in Washing
ton’s Sibley Memorial Hospital for
three or four more days recovering
from the appendectomy on the eve ol
the Cowboys 17-3 win over the
Washington Redskins.
Barnes, who was to start at left
corner, will be lost from four to six
weeks and removed from the active
roster. Coach Tom Landry said.

Shan McDonald and Lori Stoll,
who led the Texas A&M University
women’s softball team to their best
finish ever in 1979-80, started the
1980-81 season off in the same win
ning fashion, allowing Baylor only
two hits Wednesday night as the
Aggies swept a doubleheader.
McDonald, who won 28 games last
spring, started where she left off, tos
sing a no-hitter in the first game as
A&M blasted the Bears, 12-0.
Stoll, who A&M coach Bill Gallo
way joked “had a bad day,” mastered
the Bears with a two-hitter to lead a
4-0 second game triumph. She won
35 last year.
Cruz s HR
lifts Astros
to 1st place
United Press International
HOUSTON — Jose Cruz slam
med Rick Sutcliffe’s first pitch to him
over the right field wall in the 12th
inning Wednesday night to enable
the Houston Astros to move into a tie
with Los Angeles for first place in the
National League West with a drama
tic 6-5 victory over the Dodgers.
For Cruz, the second batter of the
inning, it was the 10th home run of
the season. Bert Roberge, 2-0,
earned the victory by retiring three
batters in the 12th. Sutcliffe, 3-9,
took the loss.
The decision also allowed third-
place Cincinnati to move within 2Va
games of the lead.
In the top of the 11th, pinch hitter
Gary Thomasson singled in two runs
to give Los Angeles a 5-3 lead. But
Danny Heep’s double and Gary
Woods’ fielder’s choice grounder re
tied it.
The Dodgers threw out the win
ning run to end two consecutive ex
tra innings.
In the bottom of the 10th, Rick
Monday fielded Terry Puhl’s hard
ground single and threw out Joe
Morgan by three steps trying to
score from second. In the 11th, Dus
ty Baker threw out pinch runner
Julio Gonzalez trying to score on
Enos Cabell’s fly to right.
Houston tied the score 3-3 in the
seventh. Cesar Cede no rolled a sing
le into left to score Cruz from
second.
The Astros, retired in order in the
first four innings, reached starter
Burt Hooton for two runs in the fifth
on Cruz’s infield hit, Cedeno’s bloop
single and Alan Ashby’s two-run
double.
Baker opened the scoring with his
28th homer of the season — a solo
shot with two out in the first. The
Dodgers added a run in each of the
next two innings on Mike Scioscia’s
grounder to second and Steve Gar
vey’s single.
Dodger centerfielder Mickey
Hatcher made a sliding catch of
Cruz’s long blast leading off the ninth
and Steve Howe got pinch-hitter Art
Howe to pop out and end the inning
with runners on first and second.

The Aggie Ladies finished third in
the nation last year, and the two vic
tories were the 19th and 20th in a
row for Texas A&M in regular season
play.
Rhonda Reese, Mary Lou Wargo
and Nancy Sullivan each had two hits
in the first game.
In the fifth inning, left fielder
Melody Pritchard led off with a dou
ble, and was moved up to third one
out later as Shannon Murray
grounded out. Sullivan then knock
ed in the first of her three runs batted
in in the first game with a solid single
up the middle.
In the sixth, Texas A&M plated
eight runs on only four hits as the
Bears committed three errors.
In the meantime, McDonald was
nearly untouchable, striking out
nine batters and walking three to
make her 1-0 this year.
“She pitched a really nice game,
obviously” Galloway said. “Our
offense really kind of carried us.”
The Bears were controlled by
more fine pitching in game two, as
Stoll, 1-0, altowed only two hits;
striking out 12 batters and walking
two.
Reese had two hits once again, and
Austgen and Patti Holthaus added
doubles.
Galloway was also pleased by the
defensive play.
“Vicky Kraus took a ball that was
going through shortstop and made a
fine throw to get a girl out,” he said.
“Shannon Murray performed well on
a pickoff play, and got a girl on a bunt
on a force play at second.
“I felt real good about the young
people who came in. I feel especially
good about the team. We had a great
pitching job to start off the season. ”
The “young people,” Kraus and
Holthaus, are utility players Gallo
way added this year to the squad.
Galloway was also impressed with
Pam Whigham, another import, who
“really laced the ball good” for a hit
in the second game.
Texas A&M travels Friday to San
Antonio for the San Antonio Invita
tional Tournament. The action starts
at 10 a.m. Friday when the Aggies
