The outfielder’s homer, his second in two days since being purchased from Las Vegas of the Pacific Coast League Satur day night, came on a 1-0 pitch off loser Bill Dawley, 5-4, who had entered the game in the ninth inning. Luis Salazar opened the 10th with a single to left and was sacri ficed to second by Tony Gwynn. Pinch hitter Ruppert Jones was walked intentionally and Garry Templeton fouled out for the second out before Brown’s deci sive homer. “We had a lot of people in our organization who are familiar with Brown,” said Houston manager Bob Lillis. “He (Daw- ley) just got the ball above the belt to him (Brown) and there’s not much you can do about that. You’ve got to give him (Brown) credit, though. He hit the ball a long way.” Astro Terry Puhl connected for his fifth homer of the season with the bases empty in the first, but the Padres came back with two in the bottom half of the inning on a home run by Juan Bonilla, his second, following an infield hit by Brown. “I think Bobby is very an xious to prove himself here,” said San Diego manager Dick Williams. “He’s been a real shot in the arm for us.” Houston took the lead in the top of the fourth on Ray Knight’s seventh home run of the year, following a single by Jose Cruz. At the bottom of the fouth, the Padres wiped out a 4-3 Houston lead when Tony Gwynn sliced a two-out double inside the left field line to drive in Sixto Lezcano and Salazar, both aboard on singles. Phil Garner pulled the Astros into a 4-4 tie in the top of the sixth with a sacrifice fly that scored Terry Puhl, who had singled and reached third on a single by Dickie Thon. akland tries again for Raiders organization to base in Southern California. The petition filed to the court charges that Agliano showed a “deep antipathy” to the state high court’s earlier decision which sided with Oakland. At New York, NFL Commis sioner Pete Rozelle announced Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mike Reilly, will be fined $5,000 and suspended for all 1983 sea son games.

SWC coaches set stage for season by Joe Tindel Jr. Battalion Staff DALLAS — The Southwest Conference’s football coaches came armed with the usual arsenal of jokes and a few tid bits about their respective football teams Monday. The event was the annual SWC Coaches Kickoff Luncheon, held in Dallas’ Hyatt Regency Hotel, adjacent to Reunion Tower. “This is great just to see all these guys sitting side-by-side, almost arm-in-arm,” joked Dallas radio sports personality and master of ceremonies Brad Sham about the coaches. “Somebody needs to take a picture. This is kind of like a family portrait of the Manson family.” And each coach drew his share of laughs, taking advan tage of perhaps his only chance to meet with his adver saries in a light-hearted atmosphere before the 1983 football season kicks off this fall. “We didn’t go to staff meet ings on Sunday morning; we all went to Herman Hospital to see who was available,” Rice’s colorful Ray Alborn said in regard to his team’s lack of physical health last season. “We feel like we’re going to have to ride the arm of (quar terback) Brad Taylor, who has as fine an arm as you can see anywhere in college,” said Arkansas defensive coordina tor Don Lindsey, who filled in for Head Coach Lou Holtz. “WeTljust have to find anyone to throw it to or hand off to or anybody to hold them up front.” The SWC’s newest mentor, TCU coach Jim Wacker, drew a few chuckles with his refer ence to the futility of setting unreasonably high team goals. Wacker said one confer ence loss sends those goals down the drain. His alterna tive to such goal setting is aimed at getting the best pos sible performance from his players each week. As for each team’s outlook for fall, most coaches cited lack of experience as an over all team weakness, but admit ted that some promising new comers should add to the ex citement this fall. Texas A&M coach Jackie Sherrill expressed his confi dence in USC transfer John Mazur, who will fill the shoes of quarterback Gary Kubiak. Sherrill said the Aggies’ excel lent recruiting results this spring has left the quarter back position in good shape. “Our quarterback situation today is better than what is was this time last year because of depth — depth from young people coming in,” Sherrill said. Sherrill also mentioned the Aggies’ switch to the 3-4 de fense, a move made to take advantage of Texas A&M’s wealth of linebackers, and announced that safety Billy Cannon will move to an out side linebacker position to add speed.
