Eagles itching to get
revenge over Dallas
United Press International
PHILADELPHIA — Despite
the Philadelphia Eagles’ three-
game losing streak, Ron Jaworski
says his team is having little trou
ble getting up for Sunday’s game
against the Dallas Cowboys.
And to emphasize his point
Thursday, Jaworski said: “We’re
having help in many ways, as you
can see,” as he pointed to the lock
er room wall behind him.
On that wall next to the Eagles’
training room was a clipping from
a Dallas newspaper in which a col
umnist from that city called the
team the “Beagles’ and criticized
Jaworski for panicking under
pressure.
But that’s not the only new wall
paper adorning the Eagles’ locker
room this week. The latest design
on the bulletin board is a local
story quoting Dallas running back
Ron Springs as saying, “I think the
Eagles are cake, and we re getting
ready to eat up that Christmas
cake.’
This is normal during Dallas-
Philadelphia week. The Eagles,
who enter the Texas Stadium con
test still needing one win to earn a
playoff’ berth, insist they’re not
paying attention to their oppo
nents’ words.
Coach Dick Vermeil calls it “su
perficial motivation,” but in truth, ,
with the Eagles seeking to avenge ;
a 17-14 loss at Veterans Stadium to '
Dallas last October, every little bit i
helps.
Linebacker Jerry Robinson in
sists he doesn’t read newspapers
during Dallas week, failing to add !
that his ears are wide open.
“Some things are said to try to
take your mind off the game,” he
said. “It doesn’t bother me. But
Springs said something like they
won’t drink champagne if they
beat us, they’ll settle for a cold
beer. Things like that make me,,
angry. I’m ready to go now.”
Another Dallas player who can
be certain he’s not on the Eagles’
Christmas list is cornerback De
nnis Thurman, who was called for
spearing Jaworski in the October,
meeting. Philadelphia players also
claim Thurman hit Wilbert Mont
gomery out of bounds in the game
and should have been penalized.
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Billy
Martin and Tommy Lasorda have
)een close friends for more than
!0 years — and they still are — but
hey really went at each other ver-
jally in one of the exhibitor’s
jooths at the winter baseball
neetings.
Martin was arguing the merits
ofliis All-Star Oakland outfielder
Tony Armas over Los Angeles’
ookie phenom Fernando Valen-
uela, saying Lasorda would have
:o be crazy not to take Armas in a
leal for the chubby 20-year-old
eft-hander. Lasorda said Martin
ivas crazy to think he d ever con-
ider such a swap.
They were kidding each other,
)f course, and their shouting
natch ended in a draw when
.■asorda said with a straight face to
Martin: “You’re only trying to take
idvantage of me because I’m Ita
lian.”
Brewers’ general manager Har-
y Dalton was talking to Frank
lobinson in the local hotel lobby
hat served as meeting headquar-
:ers when MVP and Cy Young
winner Rollie Fingers walked up.
Dalton had the perfect introduc
tion.
“My No. 1 greatest trade,” he
laughed, looking at the Giants’
manager, “meet my No. 2 greatest
one, and I want both you guys to
know this doesn’t even include
Nolan Ryan.”
Dalton dealt for all three over a
15-year span working for three dif
ferent clubs — the Orioles, Angels
and Brewers.
Temporarily grounded for driv- .
ing while under the influence of
alcohol, Earl Weaver is the only
manager here with his own private
chauffeur. Jack McKeon of the
Padres goes the Orioles’ skipper
one better. He’s the only CM who
personally works out pitchers, still
getting behind the plate to do it at
51.
Everybody laughed at Calvin
Griffith for refusing to get in
volved with the re-entry draft and
for letting such star performers as
Rod Carew, Larry Hisle, Bill
Campbell, Dave Goltz and the
late Lyman Bostock leave rather
than pay them huge salaries.
With the growth of a recession,
the Twins’ owner suddenly shapes
up as a financial wizard. He’s one
of the few big league operators
without a nickel of deferred pay
ments owed to any of his players.
More than that, with such farm-
system talent as first baseman
Kent Hrbek, catcher Tim Laud-
ner, shortstop Lenny Faedo and
third baseman Gary Gaetti, the
Twins are in far better shape for
the future than many other clubs.
George Steinbrenner said at
these meetings that he isn’t going
to sit still for too many Yankee
players who can’t run 40 yards in 5
seconds. If he follows through on
that, he might find himself with
half a roster because there are
plenty of players in the majors
who can’t do it, and that doesn’t
only include pitchers.
The Reds Johnny McNamara
claims that clocking baseball play
ers for speed is over-rated. In
stinctiveness and all-around base
running ability are much more im
portant, he insists.
“Look at Johnny Bench,” says
Cincy’s manager. “He’s not what
you’d call real fast, but he’s the
type of guy you want on base in a
critical situation. That’s because of
his excellent instincts and his
knowledge of what to do in any
base running situation.”
Hank Aaron and Frank Robin
son are the only cinches to be
voted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame
next month, but Robinson, the
only man ever to be voted MVP in
both leagues, isn’t taking anything
for granted.
“I don’t look at myself as a shoo-
in,” he says. “My mother always
told me I should never be sure of
anything I don’t have any control
Oilers’ Campbell says anything can happen

HOUSTON — Houston Oilers
running back Earl Campbell
doesn’t believe rumors that he will
not be traded, because he said
football is a business and players
have little to say about what goes
on.
“I’m expecting the worst,” said
Campbell, while working out
Wednesday for Sunday’s game
against San Francisco.
His chances for repeating as the
NFL rushing champion for the
Appearing
IJVE
Thursday &
Friday
Night
fourth consecutive year are slim.
Dallas Cowboys Tony Dorsett
leads the league by 199 yards.
“But I’m not a give-up person,”
Campbell said. “One game can
can turn things around. Until the
season’s over. I’m going to keep
thinking I have a chance to win.”
Campbell, in his fourth year
with the Oilers, said if he gets
traded, “I just hope they trade me
to a winner.”
He said: “Pro football is a busi
ness and players don’t have a lot to
say about what goes on. It’s one of
those things that I might be driv
ing to my ranch in Tyler this win
ter and hear on the radio, Bulle
tin, Earl Campbell has been
traded.’
“I try not to think about it be
cause if the Oiler organization
wants to trade me, there’s nothing
I can do about it. I have to accept
that. Everybody has to accept
things they don’t like sometimes.
I’m no different.”
