United Press International IRVING — The Dallas Cowboys were at their most vulnerable Sunday, staggering around like a boxer who had chosen the wrong tfternoon to step into the ring. it the top , oraofis ' But the New York Giants could never apply the knockout punch and 0 f{|) eil j as the oppressively hot afternoon dragged along the Cowboys managed a t ailn j o do what good teams are supposed to do — win when they shouldn’t. “We didn’t recover from the Monday night game and the loss of deep,’’ said Dallas coach Tom Landry, referring to his team’s winning isit to New England last week. “We had no zip all week in practice.” 'll ;r ire age of devel- There was just enough zip, however, to overcome the Giants iunday, 18-10, and thus keep Dallas unbeaten and tied for the NFC last lead with the Philadelphia Eagles. New York, which came into Jiexas Stadium with a winning record for only the second time in the jast 12 years, dropped back to 2-2. Even though his team played hard only to come up short, New York each Ray Perkins sounded like a man who could see the light. “If we play this way for 60 minutes every game this season, we are ping to win a few games. Overall, I think we had as good a game as we buld expect.” This was the second home game of the season for the Cowboys and oth of them have been played in miserably hot weather. And in the early going Dallas seemed more affected than did the Giants. During the first half New York drove to the Dallas 17, 39, 20 and 39 only to come up with a mere three points and trail following the opening two quarters, 10-3. A lightning-quick 86-yard march that ended with a 41-yard touch down throw from Danny White to Butch Johnson 69 seconds from the end of the half provided Dallas its halftime lead after the two teams had ixchanged field goals — a 36-yarder by the Cowboys’ Rafael Septien md a 42-yarder by the Giants’ Joe Danelo. “Our offense couldn’t take advantage of the opportunities that pre- ented themselves in the first half,” said Perkins. “In the second half tve couldn’t get anything going. ” Dallas’ defense took over in the final half while the offense continued :o sputter. Despite numerous chances Dallas could manage only two ield goals during the second half of 20 and 21 yards along with a critical iafety that came when defensive end Ed Jones batted the ball out of the Katvds of quarterback Phil Simms. The ball bounded back into the end zone, where Giants’ guard Roy Simmons fell on it to prevent a Dallas touchdown. The Giants only ouchdown came with 56 seconds to play in the game on a 20-yard hrow from Simms to Johnny Perkins. New York had miserable field position to start the second half and it ever got better. Dallas intercepted three of Simms’ passes, two of them in the second half, and Simms found himself constantly harassed )y the Dallas pass rush. The second of Dallas’ three interceptions was Jiade by rookie free agent Everson Walls, his fourth of the season. “When you don’t block and run hard then you neutralize your )8ense and we let New York do that to us,” said Landry. “It was a day or the defense. There was a lot of pressure on Simms, particularly by Randy White. That was the story of the game. ” Simms was trapped four times for 27 yards in losses, but he com- leted 285 yards worth of passes. The success he did have in the air allowed New York to outgain Dallas for the game, 343 yards to 317. Danny White, meanwhile, hit on 14 of 27 attempts for 204 yards. Tony Dorsett, who came into the game as the NFL’s leading rusher ivith 423 yards in Dallas’ first three games, picked up 70 yards in 22 arries. “You know, some days the guys on the opposite team are going to itop you,” said Johnson in summing up the afternoon. “We were a ttle flat this week. You just hope you can win after a Monday night game. “Even if we played poorly and still won, that’s the makings of a great team. You can’t expect anything more. “I think we are always flat against the Giants. We just can’t get otivated because we think we can beat them and that’s no knock gainst the Giants. We feel that we have a better coaching staff and better athletes right now.” is looking for qualified Accountants to join our rapidly growing firm in Houston.
