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.

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.
Cowboys cut 14 rookies
