Cardinals elated over victory
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — Every member of the St.
Louis Cardinals got a game ball for their upset
victory over the previously unbeaten Dallas
Cowboys — but Roy Green probably should
have gotten three. ,
Besides playing on special teams and bat
ting down two passes as a defensive back,
Green also caught five passes for 89 yards,
including a leaping, one-handed grab in the
end zone for a 30-yard touchdown as St. Louis
beat Dallas, 20-17.
“It was one of the greatest all-time catches
I’ve ever seen in my life,” Coach Jim Hanifan
said of Green’s score that put St. Louis ahead
17-10 early in the third quarter.
Green, a defensive back his first two years
in the league, said he has been practicing
catching with Pat Tilley, the Cardinals’All-Pro
wide receiver.
“Tilley told me to try catching the ball with
one hand in practice cause you have to concen
trate a lot more,” said Green. “I guess I owe of
Patty this one.”
But Green’s most important contribution
might have come in the final drive, after Dallas
had scored on an 11-yard screen pass to Tony
Dorsett to tie the game at 17-17.
With 4:28 remaining, St. Louis put the ball
into play at its own 22 following a punt and a
15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on Dallas’
Timmy Newsome.
On the first play. Hart threw 20 yards to
tight end Doug Marsh, who made a fingertip
grab. On a second-and-10, Hart saw Green
streaking across the middle and hit him with a
19-yarder to the Dallas 48.
Three running plays and a penalty later, the
Cardinals faced a fourth-and-1. Neil O’Do-
noghue trotted out and kicked a 37-yard field
goal with only 23 seconds left to give St. Louis
its first victory over the Cowboys in eight
games.
“You can’t be too hyped up about it,” O’Do-
noghue said of his last-minute heroics. “You
gotta control your emotions. It’s like a golf
swing. I didn’t try to rush it. Everything was
under control as far as I was concerned.”
O’Donoghue also recovered a fumble at the
Dallas 9 on the opening kickoff to set up the
Cardinals’ first touchdown just 18 seconds into
the game.
But Dallas veteran safety Charlie Waters
said the Cowboys were done in by the savvy of
Hart.
“The thing that hurt us was Hart’s ability to
cut us up like a surgeon in the last series, ” said '.'i
Waters. “He knew exactly what he wanted to
do.
“It seemed almost like he’d rather have it
that way than be 20 points ahead. ”
Hart, however, agreed with the awarding of* .
the game balls to every St. Louis player.
“Each third of the team had their backs toV.
the walls and had to respond,” said Hart, “the'ili
offense getting the ball into position for the > ;
field goal, the special teams kicking it and the.. -.
defense holding them.” .j
Green said the victory reminded him of a'*-
game last year in which Dallas scored with 25'» ’
seconds left to beat St. Louis.
“I was thinking about that all game and then
when Neil comes in and kicks the field goal —V'
I know how they felt cause we’ve felt it many - '
times,” said Green.
Hanifan said the victory, which gives St. ’
Louis a 2-3 mark, puts the Cardinals “back into
the hunt.”

iholotrBThe Aggies defeated Texas
labeaAristian University’s varsity
bility squad 3-2 Friday in Fort Worth,
■n returned home Sunday after-
shoiiifeon to shut out the University of
amilklrkansas 3-0. The two Southwest
aersoiwDnference Soccer League wins
ook felse the Aggies’ overall record to
of drw-1, while the club’s SWCSL re-
jjard is 2-0-1.
fsusprf After losing consecutive non-
formi.conference matches by scores of
lisduwft 2-1 and 1-0, then playing the
University of Texas to a 3-3 tie, the
ost declnl) welcomed the two wins,
nd, “ivCoach Telmo Franco said
oy at although the 3-2 score doesn’t in-
ij tkdicate it, the Aggies dominated
Be Homed Frogs throughout Fri-
■y’s match. However, the victory
idn’t come easy for Texas A&M.
TCU scored the first two goals
of the game during the first 20
minutes, but Franco said the
scores were the only positive plays
in the game for the Horned Frogs.
i The Aggies’ Neto Walsh scored
about 30 minutes into the first
half, and Paul Winston kicked the
Bing goal with five minutes re
maining in the half. Winston
scored on a penalty shot when
teammate Curtis Eng was cut
down from behind by one of the
TCU players.
For 40 minutes of the second
half, neither team scored, and it
seemed the Aggies would have to
settle for another tie. However,
Richard Zimmerman scored with
about five minutes left in the game
to give the Aggies the 3-2 win.
“This was a game that we had to
win,” Franco said. “As a result,
the players were tense. Probably
that’s one of the reasons it looked
like we weren’t going to score (af
ter tying the game). ”
The Arkansas club didn’t pro
vide the Aggies with much of a
challenge, as Franco played
everyone on the team during Sun
day’s shutout. Forward Scott
Gamble scored the first goal 10
minutes into the game, while
teammates Carlos Gutierrez and
Ramon Marin finished the scoring
with goals in the second half.
"Mainly it was an opportunity to
look at the players who don’t play
too often,” Franco said. “When
you substitute a lot, it’s hard to get
the good, sharp passing all the
time.”
Franco said he’s satisfied with
the play of his club, and hopes that
his players continue playing the
“quality brand of soccer” they’re
playing now. He said the Aggies
are on schedule for the conference
championship which he said was a
“realistic goal” before the start of
the season.
The club travels to Lubbock
Saturday to play the Texas Tech
soccer club at 1 p.m. Following
that match, the Aggies play play
three non-conference matches be
fore playing Southern Methodist
University in the most important
SWCSL matchup of the season.
The varsity Mustangs have the
most talented team in the SWC,
and have been nationally ranked
for two years.
