Theis- mann did complete 22 passes, but jmostly he was far off target under a heavy Dallas pass rush. U ■ One of Theismann’s passes went 15 yards to Joe Washington for a touchdown. Mark Moseley Mded a 42-yard field goal for the dskins. Meanwhile, Danny White was rowing second-quarter touch- wn passes of 33 yards to Billy Joe DuPree and 42 yards to Drew 'Pearson. Rafael Septien kicked four field goals, all in the second half, from 29, 42, 23 and 18 yards. Dallas’ defensive front four of 1 Harvey Martin, John Dutton, Randy White and Ed Jones had hands on Theismann often, caus- , ' ingmany more problems than '0 l l lia their three sacks for 33 yards in sopliPi: losses would indicate. 1( ) din "We controlled the line of , an d I/> icrimmage on defense, ” said Cow- ffield Ploys’coach Tom Landry. “Those Missis people set up some of the inter- e (riiiEf ceptions we had by forcing Theis- ffiann to throw before he wanted to. 1 thought we kept good press ure on him all day. ’igers “When Washington went to the passing game, we had to get some interceptions. (safety Dennis) Thurman’s interception was a big play because the Redskins may have gotten back into the game.” With the Redskins trailing, 23- 10, and threatening at the Dallas 4, Thurman stepped in front of Redskins wide receiver Art Monk on the goalline, intercepted Theismann’s pass and returned it 96 yards before being caught by Washington. “I decided our offense needed some work down near the goal line,” said Thurman, grinning. “Actually, I had two blockers out in front and only Joe Washington to get by. Since Joe’s only 5-9 and 180 pounds, I thought I was home free. The next thing I knew, I was out of bounds and Joe had me by the ankles.” Rookie defensive backs Michael Downs and Everson Walls and cornerback Steve Wilson had the other interceptions. White, who hit 12 of 24 passes for 145 yards, hit DuPree for a touchdown on the second play of the second quarter. Theismann’s scoring pass to Washington, who caught 10 for 124 yards, came one play after the Redskins turned down a Moseley field goal midway in the second quarter in favor of a first-down at the 15 because the Cowboys had 13 players on the field defending against the kick. The teams exchanged punts with White kicking out of bounds at the Washington 3. The Cow boys pinned Washington, forcing Mike Connell to punt from his end zone only to the Redskin 45. Dallas needed just three plays, one an incomplete pass, to score with White throwing to Pearson.

Then it was Tullis’ turn to admire the watch. “I’ll never forget this moment, ” said Tullis while examining the ex pensive wristwatch he received from his Houston teammates as the game’s most valuable player. “It’s a very emotional moment for me. I’ll never trade this watch, not for anything. It’s my first NFL game and I get voted most valu able player. This is just unbeliev able.” Tullis’ reckless kickoff return with 57 seconds left in Sunday’s game lifted the Oilers to a 27-20 victory over the Rams in the sea son opener for both teams. The Rams had tied the game seconds earlier on Frank Corral’s 36-yard field goal and it appeared the game was headed for over time. But on the ensuing kickoff, Tullis, a rookie from Troy State, fielded the ball and broke left around his wall of blockers. From there, he turned the corner and simply outran the entire Los Angeles team into the end zone. The last man with a shot at him, Leroy Irvin, was screened out and missed the streaking Tullis. “I was just trying to follow the blockers and get us in decent posi tion for a field goal,” said the 6- oooooooooooooooo I CAMPUS 8 846-6512 Now Showing: BILL MURRAY 7:40 9:50 g OOOOOOOOOOOQOOOO foot, 190-pound speedster. “But when it opened up, I was going to try to score all the way. Once I got free I was thinking that all I had to do was score and we’d win.” Tullis admitted he didn’t plan on the breakaway run and also said that he didn’t plan on the onslaught of questions from a horde of reporters. “The play took less time than it’s taking me to explain it,” he laughed. The game-winning run was made possible by veteran quarter back Ken Stabler. The 36-year old Stabler, who came out of retire ment to start his 13th NFL season, fired a pair of third-quarter TD passes to lead the Oilers from a 17-6 halftime deficit into a 20-17 lead. The first was a 33-yard strike to halfback Rob Carpenter, and the second was a 20-yard pass to Ken Burrough. Stabler announced his retire ment during the summer and came back only when projected Houston starter Gifford Nielsen was injured in the pre-season. So out of the mothballs came the craf ty Stabler. He played just two series of downs in the Oilers final pre-season game last week, and then had just seven practice ses sions to re-acquaint himself with his teammates and his offense. Add to that Stabler’s problems with the law, in which the state of California had threatened to arrest him for allegedly ducking alimony payments, as well as rumors of re ported ties with a known gun runner, and Stabler had plenty of reasons for a poor showing. But he overcame the obstacles in completing 13-of-20 passes for the two TDs and 192 yards. “All I can do is play as well as I can,” Stabler said. “I’ve had to put up with an awful lot of rhetorical BS but I just have to forget about all that. The only thing I care at all about is the other 44 guys on this team.” REBEL’S HJESMTA URAUrr AJVI> BAR Monday — Shrimp Feast 7 p.m.-12 p.m. All you can eat Jumbo Fried Shrimp for 6.95 It ring In For Free ISeer Monday Aright Happy Hour «— Mon.-Fii. 4-7 Va price drinks and appetisers Tnesday — Aggie Hour 9 p.m.-12 p.m. Va price drinks, Five Hand and ATo Cover Wednesday — 7 p.m.-12 p.m. all steaks 4.95 and .75 Fongnecks Sunday Hratncli 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Five Hand Fues.-Sat. 9-12 p.m. Large Parties Welcome 4501 S.
