' 415 university Dr. 846-5816 Landry to showdown with Ditko United Press International DALLAS — If Tom Landry hap pened to be a betting man, which by all accounts he is not, he would, no doubt, have been willing to place a wager several years ago that this Sunday’s coaching matchup in Chi cago would never have taken place. And, of course, he would have lost the bet. “When Mike Ditka first came to us I wouldn’t have thought he could be a head coach,” Landry said Tuesday. “He had a hard enough time being an assistant coach.” Ditka finished his playing career with the Dallas Cowboys and then became an assistant under Landry for nine years before becoming the head coach of the Chicago Bears. Dallas and Chicago face off Sun day in what will be the first coaching meeting of Ditka and Landry, both bringing 3-1 records into the game. “I have lots of respect for Mike,” Landry said. “I may not have thought he would have been a head coach when he came to the Cowboys, but when he left us I knew he would be a good one. “He has matured a lot as a person. His temper was the thing that caused him problems now and then. “After we got through playing tennis his racket always looked like somebody had beat it up. But the players in Chicago understand him now. You can see that in some of the statements I see them making. “They have learned to live with his temper and they are playing his kind of football.” Stories of Ditka’s temper fill seve ral volumes of underground Cow boys’ folklore. During his days in Dallas he would prowl the sidelines, clipboard in hand, having his say early and often with the officials. “There are a lot of things about my personality I don’t want to rub off on my football team,” Ditka said in a telephone conversation to mem bers of the Dallas media Tuesday. “But I want them to follow my ap- proch to football and I think they have. They don’t ask for any quarter and they don’t give any. They are willing to lay it on the line. Ve Got It!'

And that is not to say we are anything special. We got our rears beaten by Seattle last week. The Seahawks are a good team, but they are not on the level of the Cow boys. We are going to have to reach a new plateau to beat Dallas.” shone brightly around their necks, members of the American gymnas tics team issued an impassioned plea. “Don’t forget us now,” was the es sence of the message that echoed from such as Bart Conner, Peter Vidmar and Mitch Gaylord. “We worked long and hard to achieve this success for America, and now we need the public to support us.” Almost two months following that C lea in Los Angeles, the support has een overwhelming. “We’ve been on quite a whirlwind since the Olympics,” Conner said Tuesday. “People are very much ex cited about gymnastics and they’re keeping that Olympic fever on a real hot roll. “I walk through an airport now and people just grab me and say, ‘You should have seen me sitting at home watching the TV and jumping up and down at what you were doing’.” So supportive has the public been that an original Tour of America’s Gymnastics Champions, a sellout at all four cities on the original sched ule, has been expanded to include 10 more sites. The gymnasts participating in clude Conner, Vidmar, Gaylord, Ju- lianne McNamara, Kathy Johnson, Jim Hartung, Tracee Talavera, I im Daggett and Scott Johnson from a United States team that won 17 med als at the 1984 Summer Olympics. "We’re happy to have the oppor tunity to go around the country and help promote gymnastics,” said Mc Namara, who won a gold medal on the uneven bars and a silver in floor exercise. “There’s been a tremen dous excitement generated by this tour, and this has provided a feeling for those of us who been involved in gymnastics a time.” Vidmar, also a winner of an vidual gold (pommel horse) and ver (all-around), added, “With success we enjoyed in the 0lym| we have the opportunity to pi this sport on a major level. The levels around the country have doubling and tripling in size, and couldn’t be happier.” Although the gymnasts do notf paid from the proceeds of this toil the money instead going to' United Str.tes Gymnastics Fedttl ation, the financial support asked for in Los Angeles has coming their way. "A medal opens a couple of for you,” reasoned Conner, a medalist on the parallel bars.
