Women
win third
in Dallas
Still hurting with injuries, the
Texas A&M University women’s
cross country team finished third
at Saturday’s U niversity of Texas
at Arlington 5,000 meter meet.
Marilee Matheny finished fifth
to lead the Ags with a time of
18:04. Kim Cloud remained in
Dallas for medical tests and coach
Bill Nix said he will know later this
week when and if she will return.
Lisa McCorstin is still recovering
from a severe ankle sprain she suf
fered three weeks ago.
“Injuries really hurt a small
team like ours,” Nix said. “Each of
the girls should be in the top 15 in
any race they run when healthy.”

ntoll HOUSTON — Five games into the season, the
/illiai puston Earlers are back in business and sharing
st place with the Cincinnati Bengals and Pitt-
burgh Steelers.
Heretofore in 1981, the Houston Oilers had had
topfffteiroffense called a couple of other names— mostly
ierb*P ero 8 ator y ones — 215 a n ew coaching staff labored to
n orciP ve rsily the attack and get the team over the hump
tuna in playoff competition. But they shelved all that work
th3p Sunday and gave the football to Earl Campbell.
With help from his offensive line, the special
0 hj, teamsand some Cincinnati receivers who could have
, cjjj used some stick-um on their fingers, Campbell car-
t ei Jriedthe Oilers to a 17-10 win over the Bengals.
uchuJ Campbell bruised his way to 182 yards on 37
rs to* 31 ™ 5 ’ anc l he scored a touchdown on a two-yard
run. It was by far his busiest day of the season.
Carl Roaches ran 96 yards with a Bengals kickoff
r another touchdown and Toni Fritsch kicked a
leeuPtyard field goal.
Other than that, you had to wonder how Houston
^ wn and joined the Bengals and Steelers with 3-2
es j ecords in the American Football Conference Cen-
^ tral Division.
!' "Who’s to say,” Bengals Head Coach Forrest
ndeii Creggsaid, “they can’t win by giving the hall to Earl
nissfi f^opbell 30 times? He’s a heckuva player. ”
Wf# Oilers head coach Ed Biles said he hoped he didn’t
atios 1* ve t do that but his team’s slim lead Sunday
nv( ,, caused him to have Ken Stabler keep the ball on the
ground.
“I realize you can’t win too many pro games throw
ing six passes. But results are what counts,” he said.
Quarterback Stabler’s six passes, one completion
and minus four yards passing were Oilers’ record
lows.
“We were successful with it (Campbell) so we
stayed with it,” Stabler said.
On the other hand, Bengals quarterback Ken
Anderson passed for 290 yards by completing 30
passes on 52 attempts. Receiver Steve Kreider drop
ped a pass thrown by receiver Cris Collinsworth in
the end zone, and Bengals placekicker Jim Breech
missed two field goals.
On the Oilers offense’s only touchdown drivqjin
the second quarter, Campbell carried on eight of
nine plays. Earlier, he shouldered the offense on a
drive to the Bengals’ 25-yard line, but the drive
stalled without a point when running back Wilson
got only one yard on first down, Stabler threw incom
plete on second down and Stabler was penalized for
intentional grounding on third down.
The Bengals took a brief lead in the third quarter
on Anderson’s 13-yard scoring toss to tight end Dan
Ross, but on the ensuing kickoff Roaches sped 96
yards for his second long kickoff return this season.
In the Oilers second game he returned a Cleveland
Browns kickoff 88 yards.
Bengals middle guard Wilson Whitley said the
Oilers kick return teams — not Campbell — was the
difference in the game.
“Earl’s 182 yards didn’t hurt us near as much as the
kickoff return and all the punt returns,” he said.
