Monday, September 24, 1984/The Battalion/Page 11 Walls, Downs lead Poke defense Cowboys sack Packers United Press International IRVING, Texas — Defensive ■ backs Everson Walls and Michael ■ Downs keynoted a defensive effort ■ Sunday that allowed the Dallas Cow- ■ boys to survive a bland offensive ■ showing and defeat the Green Bay ■ Packers 20-6. | Walls intercepted two passes while ■ Downs recorded two quarterback ■ sacks and blocked an extra point at- ■ tempt in sparking the Cowboys to I their third win in four games. Dallas, despite continuing offen- I sive problems, remained tied f or the ||lead in the NFC East with the New ■ York Giants. The Packers, meanwhile, slipped ■ to 1-3 after a third consecutive week I of their own offensive woes. [ Green Bay had managed just ■ seven points in each of their last two H games and on Sunday the Packers I only points came from their defense ■ — a 5-yard interception return by I defensive end Robert Brown on a ■ would-be screen pass thrown by H Gary Hogeboom. Dallas could not put the game way Dallas’ Everson Walls until 46 seconds remaining when I ony Dorsett, who became the NFL’s sixth leading rusher of all time, scored on a 7-yard run. I he rest of Dallas’ points — all scored in the first half — came on a 1-yard run by Timmy Newsome arid field goals of 32 and 42 yards by Ra- Dallas’ Michael Downs fael Septien. Dorsett gained only 43 yards in 20 carries, but move past former Green Bay star Jim Taylor on the career rushing list. The Cowboys registered six quar terback traps and so frustrated the Green Bay offense in the first half that coach Forrest Gregg replaced starting quarterback Lynn Dickey with rookie Randy Wright of Wis consin. Dickey completed only 5-of-16 passes and was sacked five times while Wright made good on just 6- of-18 attempts. Alter Brown’s interception return for a score the Packers had the ball seven times and three of those pos sessions ended with Dallas intercep tions. Walls picked off a pass at the Dal las 10-yard line late in the third quar ter and intercepted another in the end zone in the early stages of the fourth period. Then, just before the two-minute warning, Wright threw the ball di rectly into the hands of linebacker Anthony Dickerson while under in tense pressure from Randy White and Ed Jones. The best Green Bay drive of the day, which advanced from its own 41 to the Cowboys’ 20 midway through the final quarter, ended with a missed field goal attempt by Eddie Garcia from 37 yards. ne c. 1 of 45,M! 102,997 fs that wasij m 1983ij< s in conto Angels fc home ami t games* Falcons soar past hapless Oilers United Press International 1 Kneppe Terry M runs Sut ATLANTA — Steve Bartkowski I fattened his league-leading passing I statistics Sunday when he completed I ll-of-13 for 195 yards and three I touchdowns while leading the At lanta Falcons to a 42-10 victory over the Houston Oilers.

Bartkowski started the rout with a 23-yard touchdown pass to tight end Arthur Cox with only 4:58 gone in the game, and Riggs scored on runs of 2 and 4 yards as the Falcons built a 21-0 first-quarter lead. The Oilers kept the ball for almost the first 10 minutes of the second quarter during a 75-yard drive but had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Florian Kempf. The Oilers scored on a 2-yard pass from Warren Moon to Larry Moriarty with one second left in the first half to go out at intermission trailing 21-10. The Falcons, 2-2, widened their lead in the third quarter when Bar tkowski threw touchdown passes of 25- and 16-yards respectively to Billy Johnson and Cox, and Jackson scored on his interception with only 1:04 lef t in the mismatch. With the Falcons, 2-2, having the ball for only four plays in the second quarter, Bartkowski threw only four passes in the first half — but com pleted three of those for 73 yards. Houston, 0-4, failed to get beyond its own 40 in the first quarter. The Oilers’ only scoring threat in the third quarter misfired when Kempf missed a 43-yard field goal with 3:23 left in the period, and the Oilers gave up the ball on downs at the At lanta 2/ with 1:56 gone in the fourth period. Atlanta’s first touchdown was set up when A1 Richardson recovered an Earl Campbell fumble at the Houston 42, the second on a 48-yard pass from Bartkowski to Alfred Jackson that put the ball at the Houston 9, and the third when John Rade recovered a Moon fumble at the Houston 29. Moon, 16-of-28 for 208 yards on the afternoon, was at his best during the Oilers’ field goal drive when he completed 5-of-6 passes for 65 yards. Atlanta had one more scoring op portunity when Andy Provence re covered a Moon fumble at the Oil ers’ 6, but the Falcons were content to just run out the clock.

The amount of this appropriation could be adjusted every five years by a % vote of the Legislature, but could not be adjusted in such a way as to affect outstanding bonding indebtedness. Each institution of higher educa tion that is eligible to participate (i.e., those institutions of higher education outside The University of Texas and Texas A&M University Systems) would be authorized to expend directly its share (such share to be determined pursuant to an equitable formula) of the $100 million appropriation for the pur poses of acquiring land, construct ing and equipping buildings or oth er permanent improvements, major repair and rehabilitation of other permanent buildings or improve ments, and acquisition of major capital equipment (e-f?-, computers and laboratory equipment) and library books and materials. Addi tionally, each institution would be authorized to issue bonds backed by a pledge of up to 50% of its share of the $100 million annual appro priation for the purpose of land acquisition, new construction, and major repair and rehabilitation projects. Except in the case of fire or natural disaster and in other extra ordinary cases, verified by a two- thirds vote of each house of the legislature, all institutions of high er education would be precluded from receiving appropriations of general revenue funds for the pur poses of land acquisition, new con struction, and major repair and rehabilitation projects.

The amendment creates a tribunal to review recom mendations of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for removal or retirement of a judge or justice. The review tribunal would be composed of seven (7) Justices or Judges of the Courts of Appeals selected by lot by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The amendment also provides for appeal of the review tribunal’s decision to the Supreme Court of Texas and grants an accused judge the right to discovery of evidence. The proposition will appear on the ballot as follows: The con stitutional amendment relating to the membership of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct and the authority and procedure to discipline active judges, cer tain retired and former judges, and certain masters and magis trates of the courts.” PROPOSITION NO. 8 ON THE BALLOT House Joint Resolution 22 pro poses a constitutional amendment which increases the per diem of members of the Legislature. The amount of per diem allowed during a calendar year would be equal to the maximum amount set in federal income tax statutes as of January 1 of that same year as a deduction for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by a state legisla tor. Current per diem is $30; the maximum deduction is now $75.
