Former Cowboys assistant
challenges teacher Sunday
dp 1983
United Press International
IRVING, Texas — Tom
Landry has sent four assistants
into the harsh world of National
Football League coaching and
one of them will try to show his
instructor a thing or two Sunday
at Texas Stadium.
During the first 21 of his 24
years as head coach of the Dallas
Cowboys, only one man left
Landry’s staff to take a top job
elsewhere in the NFL. And after
striking out twice, that man —
Dick Nolan — is back with the
Cowboys.
But for three straight years,
beginning with the 1981 season,
a Landry student struck out on
his own. Dan Reeves left that
year to be the coach of the De
nver Broncos, Mike Ditka left
the following season to guide the
fortunes of the Chicago Bears
and now John Mackovic is in his
first year as head coach of the
Kansas City Chiefs.
For the first time, one of
those three will face Landry
across a playing field when the
Chiefs and Cowboys collide Sun
day — Kansas City (5-6) clinging
to a hope of making the playoffs
and Dallas (9-2) trying to keep
pace with the stampeeding
Washington Redskins.
It will be only the third game
in the history of the two teams,
who came into existence the
sarpe year in the same town as
part of the AFL-NFL war.
“You always have special feel
ings when you face someone
with whom you have worked,”
said Mackovic, who spent two
years on Landry’s staff following
a meteoric collegiate coaching
career and who has installed a
pass-minded offense with the
Chiefs. “I know it is going to be a
challenge and there is some ex
tra excitement about it.
“But I have to remove myself
from that as much as possible
and simply do the things that will
best help our team to win.”
Mackovic can only hope he
has better luck against Landry
than did Nolan, who coached
both San Francisco and New
Orleans before finally returning
to Dallas as an assistant.
Nolan’s record against Land
ry was 1 -5-1, three of those losses
coming in successive years in the
playoffs.
The Cowboys — who have
trailed in all 11 of their games
this year — are coming off one
of only two losses they nave suf
fered this season. But they still
find themselves deadlocked
with the Redskins atop the NFC
East. Dallas and Washington
meet again Dec. 11 with that
game likely deciding the division
title.

Akeem leads Coogs against N.C. State Saturday
United Press International
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. —
Forget about Lorenzo Charles’
slam dunk with three seconds
left that gave North Carolina
State a national championship
last April.
It’s a new season and North
Carolina State will start fresh
against the team it beat in the
final, the University of Houston.
The NCAA finalists will inau
gurate the 1983-84 college bas
ketball season Saturday when
they meet in the Basket Hall of
Fame Tip-Off Classic.
“It’s a real honor to play on
the last day of the season, and it’s
also a privilege to play on the
first day of the season — espe
cially against a team like Hous
ton,” said North Carolina State
Coach Jim Valvano.
Houston coach Guy Lewis
said his team is not out to avenge
last April’s 54-52 setback to
North Carolina State in the
NCAA finals.
“They’re a different team;
we’re a different team and this is
a new season,” he said. “The
game is on national television so
we don’t want to go up there to
die.”
Houston is led by 7-foot
junior center Akeem Abdul Ola-
juwon, the spark plug of the
Cougars’ so-called “Phi Slama
Jama” fraternity. The native of
Nigeria, who had limited basket
ball experience before arriving
at Houston, is on his way to be
coming one of college basket
ball’s most dominant players.
“Akeen is noticeably better
this year,” Lewis said.
He’ll have to be. Houston will
be without starting forwards 6-
foot-9 Larry Micheaux and 6-
foot-7 Clyde Drexler, who de
cided to forego his senior year to
sign with the NBA’s Portland
Trail Blazers.
Micheaux and Drexler aver
aged 30 points and 16 rebounds
the last two seasons.
“The biggest progress
is making is in his reboui
without Micheaux and Drei
