DALLAS — Moments after the
Dallas Cowboys had beaten Phi
ladelphia in their key NFC East
matchup a few weeks ago, line
backer D. D. Lewis — who is play
ing his final season of pro football
— said he recognized the pattern.
“We are playing good football
right now in the middle of the sea
son,” Lewis said. “Then we will
have our little slump and we will
get it going again for the playoffs
— just like Tom Landry plans it.”
Landry, of course, does not
plan for the Cowboys to go into
slumps. But he recognizes the in-
evitablity of it. And when Dallas
flattened out against Detroit in the
second half last Sunday, eventual
ly losing on the Lions’ “12th man”
field goal on the game’s final play,
the Cowboys coach could almost
say, “I told you so.”
Landry’s remarks came after a
question about running back Tony
Dorsett, who leads the league in
rushing but who picked up only 55
yards against Detroit.
“I think Tony was running in a
normal fashion, ” Landry said. “He
wasn’t running with the great en
thusiasm that you sometimes do.
But we weren’t playing with the
great enthusiasm that you some
times do.
“There is no way you can play at
a high level every week. You just
try to play good football. Some
days you play exceptional, some

days you drop back to good and
some days you play poorly. That is
the cycle you run in.”
The down cycle into which Dal
las fell against Detroit left the
Cowboys a game back of NFC
East leading Philadelphia, and
Landry professed not to he con
cerned about how many more
wins it might take for his team to
make the playoffs or to win the
division title.
“I don’t even think about it,
Landry said. “After we came off
that four-game stretch (that in
cluded wins over Los Angeles,
Philadelphia, Miami and Buffalo)
people already had us in the Super
Bowl.
“Now we re not in the Super
Bowl anymore. We are fighting
game by game to stay alive. If you
ever quit playing you get beat. I
don’t know how many games it
will take. A lot of things will hap
pen to a lot teams from now on.
The teams have best defenses are
the teams that are more secure.
“Philadelphia is one of them,
San Francisco is another and De
nver is another.”
And what about his own de
fense, which has given up more
yardage than anv other team in the
NFC.
“Our defense has been playing
pretty good,” Landry said. “We
played pretty good against Detroit
until the two-minute period.
“We held Philadelphia to 14
points and the same against Etf

Switzer says Sooners will
be going to a bowl game
United Press International
NORMAN, Okla. —Oklahoma
head coach Barry Switzer said
Tuesday that win or lose against
Nebraska and Oklahoma State —
the Sooners will play in a bowl
game.
“We will be going to a howl
game,” he said, countering earlier
references to the possibility of re
fusing a bowl bid in order to hit the
recruiting trail if Oklahoma lost to
Nebraska Saturday.

"The Fiesta has turned to a sies

“We looked like the worst foot

Saturday’s 19-14 upset at Col
umbia, Mo., that locked Oklaho

ship for the first time in Switzer’s
head coaching career.
Looking ahead for Oklahoma —

Christian Frivolity
Nearly a century ago, C. H. Spurgeon wrote, “The extent to which sheer frivolity and
jutterly inane amusement have been carried in connection with some places of worship
would almost exceed belief.”
We wonder what Mr. Spurgeon would say about the state of Christian gatherings today
lin our area of the country. For several vears we have heard about “Christian" rock
Iconcerts, “Christian” drama, “Christian” comedians, and “Christian” magicians, h
jrecently we hear of a prosperous new singles club for Christians. Their meeting place? A
local cowboy nightclub. The first wee 1 '. 300 brethren met for worship, the second week,
|over 1000. And we have no assurance + hat this sort of thing is limited to this local area.
Although written in 1887, the words of Spurgeon carry a spirit that is desperately
needed today. “The Lord our God is holy, and He cannot compromise His own glorious
name by working with persons whose grovelling tastes lead them to go to Egypt—wehad
almost said to Sodom — for their recreations. Is this walking with God? Is this the manner
in which Enochs are produced?”
“There can be no doubt that all sorts of entertainments, as nearly as possible approx
limating to stage-plays, have been carried on in connection with places of worship, and
[are, at this present time, in high favour. Can these things promote holiness, or help in
I communion with God? Can men come away from such things and plead with God for the
salvation of sinners and the sanctification of believers? We loathe to touch the unhallowed
[subject; it seems so far removed from the walk of faith, and the way of heavenly
(fellowship. In some casese the follies complained of are even beneath the dignity of
manhood, and fitter for the region of the imbecile than for thoughtful men.”
— from the Sword and the Trowel, December, 1887,
“The Unsearchable Riches of Christ...”
