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!'

United Press International
NEW YORK — At the very height
of their exhilirating triumph, while
the sweat still was dripping down
their bodies and Olympic medals
tnei
“They have paid a price to get
where we are. 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. Itg#
you on television one time, it"
you that one good chance."
