No Newhouse
at Dallas camp
United Press International
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. —
Veteran Dallas Cowboys fullback
Robert Newhouse did not report
to the team’s training camp Sun
day because of an illness in his
family and speculation increased
that he might retire.
Coach Tom Landry said he ex
cused Newhouse from reporting.
Newhouse told Landry he
would decide by Thursday on
whether he would come to train
ing camp or retire.
If Newhouse does end his ca
reer he would be the fifth veteran
to have retired since the end of
the 1984 season —joining offen
sive tackle Pat Donovan, tight end
Billy Joe DuPree, defensive end
Harvey Martin and wide receiver
Drew Pearson.
Cowboys’ quarterback Danny
White, his job possibly in jeopar-
dy,arrived at training camp Sun
day and said he was glad his com
petition with Gary Hogeboom
could finally begin.
“Usually the off-season goes by
in a hurry,” said White. “But this
one seems to have gone on for
ever. It has been a long off-sea
son.”
Not only did White have all
that time to think about, his up
coming duel with Hogeboom for
the starting quarterback role, he
had to face assault charges lev
eled at him by a high school stu
dent.
Those charges came to trial last
month with White being ac
quitted.
White promptly left Dallas and
spent the last two weeks of his
time off resting in Colorado and
British Columbia.
He came directly from Canada
and arrived at the Cowboys train
ing site late Sunday without
knowing that receiver Drew Pear
son had officially retired.
“I’ve been in the woods,” said
White. “I had not heard. We will
miss him a lot.”
As to his showdown with Hoge
boom, White said he had tried to
prepare himself mentally for the
challenge and for the constant
questions which will come during
camp.
“I’m glad to have it here and
starting again,” said White. “Now
I can start doing something about
it. I have tried to prepare myself
for it as best I can.
“I am going to cooperate (with
the media) as much as I can. I
don’t know what else can be writ
ten or said that hasn’t been writ
ten or said.”
Hogeboom arrived at the Cow
boys’ practice site about an hour
before White and he, too, said he
was looking forward to compet
ing for the No. 1 job.
“I’ll do everything possible I
can to be the No. 1 quarterback,”
said Hogeboom, who last January
asked coach Tom Landry to be
traded from the club.
“I just want to do everything I
can. What it takes will be found
out in this training camp.”
With the arrival of the first
wave of veterans to training
camp, the Dallas Cowboys
trimmed their huge corps of
rookie free agents by 16 Monday.
That group included Kentucky
quarterback Randy Jenkins, who
left camp on his own.
Veteran quarterbacks, wide re
ceivers and running backs took
their physical exams Monday af
ter reporting to the campus of
California Lutheran College Sun
day afternoon.
The veterans went through a
Robert Newhouse
light workout Monday before
starting the full rigors of training
camp Tuesday morning.
Those cut from the roster
Monday included defensive backs
Daniel Clarke of Virginia Tech
and Tony Fudge of Montana;
fullbacks Doug Wilkening of Ne
braska and Walt Goffigan of
Wyoming; and wide receivers
Gregory Hobbs of Southwestern
Louisiana and Donald Johnson of
Newberry.
The waiver list also contained
defensive linemen Calvin John
son of Morris Brown and Brad
Rowland of Northern Arizona;
linebackers Howard Peace of
Richmond and Karl Watson of
Texas Southern; kickers Scott
Wedell of Texas-El Paso and Os
car Speer of Southwestern Loui
siana; offensive lineman Henry
Ramelli of San Jose State; run
ning back Kerry Smith of Michi
gan; and quarterback Lee McK-
instrey of Northwestern Iowa.
Their departures left 92 rook
ies and first-year players in camp.
The first mandatory cut under
NFL bylaws comes on Aug. 14
when league rosters must be no
more than 70 players.
McEnroe, Connors
eye U.S. Open title
United Press International
ATLANTA — Following an in
tense schedule during the last few
months of almost non-stop tennis,
John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors
both welcome a few weeks off for
quiet reflection.
Despite the unreasoning
judgment of a computer that places
him behind Ivan Lendl, McEnroe
unquestionably has proven himself
to be the world’s outstanding player.
His two singles victories in the 5-0
sweep of Argentina in this past
weekend’s Davis Cup quarterfinal se
ries lifted his record for 1984 to 56-
1.
In addition to protecting his pre
carious position on top, McEnroe
also is engaged in a vigorous cam
paign to project himself in a new
image. At this point in his career,
when he’s being compared to the
past greats of tennis, he’d like to en
sure that he is remembered by his
tory for his talent rather than his
temper.
• For Connors, himself a former
“bad boy” who has seen his own
image improve markedly in recent
years, his next big objective, follow
ing the vacation he so desperately
needs, is defense of his U.S. Open
crown. Connors has won this
championship five times, none more
gallantly than last September, when
he overcame leg and stomach prob
lems in the final to sweep the last 10
games from Lendl.
McEnroe, of course, also has his
eyes on the Open, which would pro
vide a tidy bookend to the Wimble
don championship he captured a
week ago Sunday. Between them,
Connors and McEnroe have shared
the last six Open titles.
Another burning ambition of
Despite the unreasoning
judgment of a computer
that places him behind
Ivan Lendl, McEnroe un
questionably has proven
himself to be the world’s
outstanding player. His
two singles victories in the
5-0 sweep of Argentina in
this past weekend’s Davis
Cup quarterfinal series
lifted his record for 1984
to 56-1.
Connors is to be part of a champion
Davis Cup team, a patriotic fever
that started to burn late in his career.
The Australians probably will b«led

Cash, who claimed three seeded;:
players at Wimbledon before losinill^
to McEnroe in the semifinals.
The semifinals will be played®

will Ik* the 40th meeting betweentk|.
two countries, with the UnitedSlateEj-
enjoying a 22-17 edge. The Amo*
cans have won the Davis Cup
times, the last one in 1982.
“I'm looking forward to plavriBg
Australia,” McEnroe said. "TIb|
have a good team, but if weplaywril
we have a good shot at winniiJ
against them.”
Connors added, "They’re precl
g<KKl, but we’re a solid team. AcJ
thing can happen. The only wayw|
can prove we’re better is to win it."
Arthur Ashe, the Americanteatl
captain, said, "I expect Australis nil
be very tough. You saw Pat Cadi
playing in the semifinals at Wimbi
don.”
“It’s important to me,” said Con
nors, who like McEnroe won both
his singles matches against Argen
tina in straight sets. ‘T’Ve never been
on a winning Davis Cup team, but
then I’ve never committed for a full
year before. I'd like to be on the
team that brings the Davis Cup back
to the United States.”
Before then, and before
Open, both McEnroe and Conn
are looking ahead to some wela
vacation time, interspersed
hibitions. Both expect to resui
competition with the Canad
Open at Toronto starting Aug. 13..
In contrast, McEnroe is the win-
ningest player ever to represent the
United States, with a record of 82-5
in singles competition and 14-0 in
doubles.
By virtue of its success against Ar
gentina, during which it dropped
only one set in five matches, the
United Slates advanced to the semi
finals against Australia, which
earned its berth by beating Italy.

Jim Mora proud of his Stars
dominance over Wranglers
TANK MCNAMARA
by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds
United Press International
TAMPA, Fla. —Jim Mora is bul
lish on the Philadelphia Stars.
Now that the Stars have tucked
away a 19-2 record and the U.S.
football League championship after
beating Arizona 23-3 in Sunday
night’s title game, Mora, their coach,
was talking like a proud papa.
“I’m not sure we have the best tal
ent (in the USFL), but we have darn
good talent or we wouldn’t be where
we are,” Mora said at an early Mon
day morning media conference be
fore he and the Stars rushed back to
Philadelphia for a noontime victory
parade. “We couldn’t have beaten a
Super Bowl team, but compared to
this league, we’re a pretty good foot
ball team. We could survive in the
NFL.”
Under Mora, a former NFL assis
tant who became head coach of the
Stars last year just two weeks before
they went to their first pre-season
camp, Philadelphia, 16-4 in ’83, has
had the best record in both USFL
seasons.
“We’re going to keep doing what
we’ve been doing,” said Mora. “Ev
erything is not peaches and cream in
this organization, it never is, but
we’ve been quietly solving our prob
lems as they occur.
“The good thing about this team
is it is a very young football team. It’s
going to get better and better. We’re
going to try to improve by the draft
and other means, but even if we
don’t, we’d be better next year. We
don’t have many players who have
yet reached their prime.”
The 20-point margin in Sunday’s
game was misleading in view of the
Stars’ dominance. They outgained
the Wranglers 414 yards to 119
while controlling the ball for more
than 43 minutes and had several
scoring opportunities blunted by-
turnovers.
“I didn’t realize we’d dominate
like we did,” said Mora. “But when
they (the Stars) set their mind to it,
they are capable of playing real well.
We dominated the last three teams
and none of the three games have
been close. I didn’t feel we’d be able
to do what we did against them.”
Mora had said all along that the
Stars had been gunning for this
year’s USFL championship after let
ting the first one get away in the 24-
22 loss to Michigan a year ago.
He said Monday that reaching the
goal won’t make the Stars any less
anxious to repeal in ’85.
“Winning won’t hurt my motiva
tion,” he said. “We’ll just work that
much harder. I didn’t think it was
possible for this team to win 15
games again (like it did during the
regular 1983 season) and we won
16.”
The quarterback duel between
Philadelphia Chuck Fusina and Ari
zona’s Greg Landry went to Fusina
hands-down Sunday night.
Fusina, who spent three years
with the NFL’s Tampa Bay fran
chise, completed his first 10 passes
and scored on a hobbled snap en
route to being named the game’s
Most Valuable Player.
“The ball was wet and I just
missed it,” Fusina said of his scoring
play. “The ball was supposed to go to
(fullback) David Riley. Fortunately, I
held on to it and was able to get in.”

Seattle to host Final Four in 1989
United Press International
As for the game itself, Fusina said,
“We were moving the ball down
there at will, but with those turn
overs (two fumbles and an intercep
tion), we started saying to ourselves,
‘We’d better watch it, we’ve got to get
it together.’
“One of our best qualities as a
team had been that we don’t panic,”
said Fusina. “Fumbles? Intercep
tions? We forget about it and go af
ter them again.”
SEATTLE — Seattle once again
will host the NCAA’s Final Four bas
ketball tournament, this time in
1989 to coincide with Washington
state’s 100th birthday.
King County Executive Randy
Revelle announced Friday that
Seattle beat out Denver for the 1989
tournament, although the Colorado
city will get the nod for the 1990
event.
Revelle called Seattle’s selection
the result of “the super job that was
done by everyone in 1984.” Seattle
hosted its first Final Four tourna
ment this March and got rave re
views from visitors and participants
alike.
Announcement of the Final Four
award came Friday morning from
the NCAA basketball committee,
which is meeting in Colorado
Springs, Colo.
Revelle and University of Wash
ington athletic director Mike Lude
made a presentation to the commit
tee Wednesday, including a videtape
highlighting the Final Four activities
in the Seattle-King County area last
March.
“The NCAA likes the Kingdome,”
Revelle said. “They especially like
the way it was managed. And they
like our business leadership and
friendly residents.”

While the final decision can*
down to a choice between DenvefiB
Seattle, Revelle said he believfl |
Seattle was chosen because thesia*
delegation emphasized the desiretf; I
have the tourney during the staid
centennial celebration.
Revelle said another edge Seaitlf
had in its favor was the size of tl
Kingdome, which offered
seats for the Final Four compared;
17,000 available at Denver’s McN 1 )
chols Arena.
The county executive said he
would cite Seattle’s second selection
as a Final Four city when he makes a
case for the Kingdome to be chosen
He said the event will have a ”
mendous” impact on the local ei
omy, noting that Final Four visits
spent more than $20 million
