Dolphin players say Oilers
not as bad as people say
United Press International
MIAMI — Next Sunday’s
matchup between the Miami
Dolphins and the lowly Houston
Oilers would seem to be a natu
ral for an upset and the Dolphin
players know it.
“There’s no such thing as a
bad ball club in the NFL,” said
Miami guard Bob Kuechenberg
in the aftermath of Monday
night’s 38-14 thrashing of the
Cincinnati Bengals.
“If you let down a little bit,
you are going to get beat. If you
are not on top of your game, you
are going to get your ears bent
back.”
To a man, Kuechemberg’s
Dolphin teammates agreed.
“We are not looking past
Houston,” said receiver Nat
Moore. “We want to get the
homefield advantage in the
playoffs — that is very impor
tant to us.”
Dolphin Coach Don Shula
said at his weekly news confer
ence Tuesday that he expects
top effort from the Oilers de
spite their 1-12 record — the
worst in the NFL.
“I’m sure they’re going to
want to salvage everything they
can out of the season and build
for the future,” Shula said.
Shula did not comment on re
ports in The Miami Herald
Tuesday that the contract he
signed with Dolphin owner Joe
Robbie this week amounted to
$3 million through 1986, includ
ing an upward adjustment for
this year.
Robbie said he would not dis
close the terms of the contract
but said it was generious.

“I don’t begrudge what Don
now makes but I will say he is
better set for life than I am,”
Robbie said.
Shula said the Dolphins came
out of Monday night’s victory
free of injuries, except for a
broken rib suffered by rookie
receiver-punt returner Mark
Clayton, who will be out for at
least two weeks.
“Fulton Walker will take over
as the punt returner but now we
have to find someone to back
him up,” Shula said. He said it
would either be Mark Duper,
Moore or Duriel Harris, all wide
receivers.
Walker had been the Dol
phins’ kickoff returner for two
years, but has insisted he is bet
ter at returning punts.
The Bengals have routed the
Oilers twice in the last month
and don’t expect the Dolphins to
have much trouble with
Houston.
“We’ve played all the conten
ders and Miami is certainly the
best,” said Cincinnati wide re
ceiver Cris Collingsworth. “I ex
pect them to go all the way.”
Gamblers sign Alborn
United Press International
HOUSTON — Former
Rice coach Ray Alborn has
been hired by the USFL’s
Houston Gamblers and has
signed a two-year contract as
the team’s defensive line
coach, officials said Tuesday.
No financial details of the
pact have been disclosed and
the official announcement of
Alborn’s hiring is not ex
pected until today. Alborn,
45, resigned last month after
six seasons at Rice. The team
went 1-10 last season.
Alborn said he was impress
ed with the Gamblers organi
zation and that owner Jerry
Argovitz agreed he would be
released from his contract if
he decided to take a head
coaching job somewhere.

OSU’s Anderson to be

United Press International
HOUSTON — Oklahoma
State football coach Jimmy
Johnson Tuesday said 1982 all-
America tailback Ernest Ander
son will be rid of injuries and
“100 percent” to play in the
Bluebonnet Bowl Dec. 31.
Johnson, in town to promote
the New Year’s Eve night game,
said the Cowboys would need
Anderson’s running to stay up
with the offensive-minded
Baylor Bears in a wide-open
game.
Baylor coach Grant Teaff
greeted Johnson’s news with a
frown.
“Their substitute running
back made more than 200 yards
against what I think is a very
good defense, Texas A&M. And
now to learn that Ernest Ander
son will be healthy for us, it goes
along with most of things that
have happened this year. Every
body gets well for Baylor,” Teaff
said.
The Bears and Aggies tied
earlier this year 13-13 in Waco.
For the Cowboys, 7-4, junior
Shawn Jones stepped in for
Anderson and rushed for 952
yards. But he did not excite like
Anderson, who gained 1,877
yards in 1982 and starting this
past season touted as a Heisman
Trophy candidate. He also be
gan it with a groin muscle pull.
Anderson aggravated the in
jury in the Cowboys’ first game,
then sat idle for six weeks. John- .

You’re maneuvering

But you’ll dock

know your equipment.
You know your men. And even when the
responsibility weighs in at 3,600 tons...
you’re ready.
After four years of college, you’re
ready for more responsibility than most
civilian jobs offer. Navy officers get the
kind of job and responsibility they want,
and they get it sooner.
Navy officers are part of the manage
ment team after 16 weeks. Instead of boot
camp, officer candidates
receive four months
of leadership training.
It’s professional school
ing designed to sharpen
their technical and
management skills.
Then, in their first
assignment, Navy
officers get manage
ment experience that
could take years in
private industry. And
they earn the decision-
making authority it
takes to make that
responsibility pay off.
As their manage
ment abilities grow,
Navy officers can take

advantage of advanced education and
training in fields as varied as operations
management, electronics, and systems
analysis. In graduate school it would cost
you thousands; in the Navy we pay you.
And the Navy pays well. The start
ing salary is $17,000 (more than most
companies pay). And that’s on top of a
comprehensive benefits program that
can include special duty pay. After four
, years, with regular
promotions and pay in
creases, the salary is up
to as much as $31,000.
If you qualify to
be an officer in the
Navy, chances are you
have what it takes to
succeed. The Navy just
makes it happen faster.
