Although the Dallas- Washington rivalry has faded somewhat the past few years, Sun day’s game was worthy of their more hateful days. It was a tough contest that was in question until the final minutes and was perhaps settled not so much by the touch downs and field goals as by an in jury. The Redskins Joe Washington, who had accumulated 84 yards on the ground and 47 more in the air during the first half, was knocked out of the game late in the second quarter with damage to a rib car- tilege. A key weapon, the most successful one the Redskins had had, was lost for the day and perhaps longer. Without Washington, the Red skins still had fought to a 10-10 tie through the early portion of the third quarter. Dallas had scored on a 28-yard pass from Danny White to Butch Johnson and a 25- yard field goal by Rafael Septien while the Redskins had countered on a 7-yard thre^v from Joe Theis- mann to Nick Giaquinto (in for Washington) and a field goal of 26 yards by Mark Moseley. Then, with a drive that took up 5:13 of the third period, Dallas went 80 yards and scored on a 10- yard throw from White to Doug Cosbie — a play that was original ly designed for Johnson. It did not figure that the seven- point lead would he enough, hut Washington could not threaten in the final quarter until Dallas had scored in the final minute on a 1-yard run by Ron Springs. “We did a good job of stopping a high octane offense that had been playing good ball and scoring 27 or 28 points a game,’ said Landry. Dallas, which had been allowing an average of 375 yards per game, surrendered 256 to the Redskins while gaining 470 itself. Tony Dorsett picked up 115 yards, hut lost his NFL rushing lead and also lost a fumble late in the game just as the Cowboys seemed ready to wrap things up sooner than they did. Theismann hit on 14 of 34 pas ses for 158 yards and one poor toss in the first half resulted in an easy interception for Charlie Waters, an NFL leading 29th for Dallas this year. The men outswam SMU in the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay, with a time of 3:09.6 that Nash said should rank the Aggies in the national top ten. Another Texas A&M record fell as the women thumped TCU 73- 40, winning nine of 13 events. Marks, Scheider, Beth Henry and Eileen Doull swam a 1:52.34 for the 200-yard medley relay, replac ing the old record of 1:53.1. The men thrashed the Frogs 82- 31, with Walker winning the 200- yard medley in addition to the 500-yard freestyle. “The big thing about the men’s meet is that TCU tied us at the conference meet last year, Nash said. “This was our way of saying, ‘We ll put you in your place.”’ United Press International The 1981 season was hardly over for the Southern Methodist Mustangs than they began to think about 1982. “We are hoping to take this as a building step,’ said Ron Meyer. “When we talk to recruits we ll show them the Holiday Bowl last season, the Southwest Confer ence championship this season and then ask, ‘what abut the na tional championship?’ “We ll ask them if they want to be part of it. But, for the time being at least, the spotlight will fade from the Mustangs and focus on those who are eligible to continue playing during the bowl season. SMU’s probation will keep the Mustangs, who finished 10-1, out of post-season competition this year. But Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Houston will add another game to their schedule this year, the fifth straight year the Southwest Conference will have at least four howl competitors. Texas A&M will he the first in action, meeting Oklahoma State in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 12. The Aggies, who face rival Texas on Thanksgiving Day, earned their hid with a 37-7 blast ing of TCU last Saturday. Next will come Houston, which takes on Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl on Dec. 26. The Cougars were going to get a Sun Bowl hid win or lose against Texas Tech and for a while it looked like a loss. Te >c as Prescriptions Filled Glasses Repaired 216 N. MAIN BRYAN Mon.-Fri.
