Idet And no Sports Tuesday, September 4, 1984^116 Battalion/Page 9 Cowboys down LA. Rams 20-17 United Press International I ANAHEIM, Calif. — Gary Hoge- booin turned in a team-record per formance in his first NFL start Mon day night, completing 33 passes for 343 yards, and Tony Dorsett over came his own four-fumble perfor mance by scoring on a 7-yard run with 3:56 left to play that lifted the Dallas Cowboys to a 20-13 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in their season-opener. I The Rams forced the first turn over of the game and wasted no time in cashing it in for a touchdown. 1 Hogeboom dropped back to pass and was crunched by blitzing line backer George Andrews and lost the ball. Veteran Jack Youngblood scooped it up and ran it back nine yards to the Dallas two. And on the next play, Dickerson broke around left end and vaulted over a pile of defenders into the end zone, giving Los Angeles a 7-0 lead at 11:59 of the opening quarter. ROn the Cowboys’ next possession, Green showed why the Rams were willing to part with their first and fifth-round draft picks to get him in the trade with the Chiefs. He inter- cipted a Hogeboom sideline pass and returned it 23 yards to the Dal las 44 and eight plays later, Mike Lansford kicked a 31-yard field goal to boost the Rams’lead to 10-0 at 5:25 of the quarter. ■ The Rams’ tough secondary came up with the ball again its next time on the field when Nolan Cromwell _ pounded Dorsett after a pass recep tion, forcing a fumble. Eric Harris recovered for Los Angeles at the Cowboys’ 25, and Lansford built the Los Angeles lead to 13-0 with a 36- yard field goal with 2:28 left in the quarter. Hogeboom almost brought Dallas back on his next attempt, moving the Cowboys to the Rams’ five with a pair of long passes. But on first down, Dorsett nad the ball stripped out of his hands and Cromwell re covered for the Rams at the three. But this time, the Rams gdve the ball back when Vince Ferragamo threw the ball into the arms of safety Dextor Clinkscale, who returned it 23 yards to the Dallas 40. Six passes later, Doug Cosbie made a leaping catch of a 19-yard Hogeboom pass in the end zone, pulling Dallas within 13-7 with 5:51 left in the half. Hogeboom picked up in the sec ond half where he had left off in the second quarter, completing four passes that raised his game total to 291 yards and driving the Cowboys to the Rams’ 14. But the drive stalled there and Rafael Septien kicked a 31-yard field goal at 8:59 that cut Los Angeles’ lead to 13-10. The teams traded turnovers it the close of the third quarter and start of the fourth, with Dallas losing the ball on Dorsett’s fourth fumble and get ting it back on Mike Hegman’s inter ception of a Ferragamo pass. Septien then tied the score 13-13 with a 52- yard field goal that dropped over the crossbar by mere inenes.

Navratilova, Evert Lloyd survive U.S. Open threats United Press International 1 NEW YORK — Martina Navrati lova and Chris Evert Lloyd dropped a few hints Monday that they weren’t qljite invincible, although both fought their way into the quarterfi nals of the U.S. Open. I Navratilova, the defending cham pion, managed an early service break in each set and then held on for a 6-4, 6-4 victory over No. 15 seed Barbara Potter, while Evert Lloyd dropped her first three games before overtaking Bonnie Gadusek 6-4, 6-0. Navratilova, in beating the power- hitting Potter for the 14th consec utive time, stretched her winning streak to 52 matches, only losing five times in her last 240 contests. No. 3 seed Hana Mandlikova had an even more nervous trip into the uarterfinals, rallying from a 2-4 eficit in the second set to defeat Lori McNeil 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. McNeil, a 20-year-old from Houston, is ranked only 111th in the world. “Sometimes you have to be lucky,” Mandlikova said. “I made some good returns, she missed some easy shots and I was able to come back.” However, No. 9 seed Lisa Bonder wasn’t as fortunate, bowing to He lena Sukova of Czechoslovakia 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 in a two-hour match that featured 15 service breaks. Sukova’s reward is a quarterfinal date with Navratilova. In sharp contrast to the problems endured by some of her friends, No. 4 seed Pam Shriver didn’t have to lift a racket, winning her fourth-round match when Susan Mascarin was forced to default with a sprained right ankle. No. 2 seed Ivan Lendl, No. 5 Andres Gomez and No. 15 Pat Cash all enjoyed relatively comfortable af ternoons to reach the men’s quar terfinals. Lendl turned back No. 14 Anders Jarryd 6-2, 6-2, 6-4; Cash U.S. OPEN, al 4 p.ni.ev Icome. ng to disui." 109 Miliiai' nng a inem- nernixM s art ’ p.m. in40i cers anddb- in 601 Rud- itc and ton- GET INVOLVED IN Student Government meeting at 7 udder.
