The Bra in the ison bnl Dallas suffers injuries United Press International DALLAS — The Dallas Cow boys said Monday both of their dueling quarterbacks sustained minor injuries during the team’s comeback win over New Orleans, but that both were listed as prob able for next Sunday’s meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. Coach Tom Landry, therefore, will have to make up his mind on whether to start a quarterback with a bruised wrist (Gary Hoge- boom) or one with a sprained an kle (Danny White). There was no immediate indi cation concerning Landry’s thinking on the quarterback situ ation, which was given another twist in the Cowboys’ 30-27 over time victory over the Saints. For the third straight week White came in to relieve Hoge- boom with the Cowboys trailing badly. This time, however, Dallas rallied for 21 points in the fourth quarter and won it with Rafael Septien’s 41 -yard field goal in the extra period. During the continuing quar terback controversy Landry has made a habit of announcing his starter for the next week on Tuesday during his weekly meet ing with area media. Hogeboom injured his wrist on a pass which turned into a 43- yard interception return for a touchdown by New Orleans’ Dennis Winston. the | ■r Broral with efemive 1 9'ew ir the Neil “I couldn’t even grip the ball after that,” said Hogeboom. “There is no way I could have kept playing.” White, however, sprained an ankle during his time in the game and also strained a muscle in his rib cage. The most serious injury com- I ing out of the game was sustained by rookie linebacker Billy Can non, who was hit in the back dur ing the first quarter of the game I and suffered a bruised spinal fcord. X-rays taken at a local hospital proved negative and doctors said his prognosis was good. Cannon I was expected to be released from I the hospital on Tuesday, with his j status for next weekend listed as I doubtful. Defensive back Dextor [Clinkscale (bruised thigh), wide [receiver Doug Donley (strained [hamstring) and running back [Timmy Newsome (bruised thigh) were all listed as questionable. White said he did not want to Speculate on the possibility ILandry might start the second Ihalf of the season with the quar- Iterback he had replaced at the lopening of the campaign. “I wouldn’t say I deserve to (start,” said White. “Like I said a [long time ago, I didn’t think I de served to lose the job and I don’t [think he (Hogeboom) deserves to pose it because of the way he’s [played. “We’re having trouble team- vise, especially offensively. With- |out 10 guys around you all doing |their job in support of you, you can’t do your job. That’s the na- Itureof the quarterback position.” TANK MCNAMARA by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds ^~WELL, MV POLL^ SAV MY GAJY 15- £& MY FtH-Db MY GUV IG kc, mokje VIGOROUS I RE-ELECT FEAGAVV ARE VOU TMiklKIlOG UOlAAT X'MrgifOKlN)G...V Pizza-n-Subs Grand Opening!

But for Texas A&M wom en’s golf coach Kitty Holley, Colom bia has given her a special type of Colombian gold. Patricia Gonzalez and Susie Fac- cini are the most successful members of this year’s golf team. Coinciden tally, they are both Colombians. Gonzalez, a 24-year-old senior business major, said the road from tiny Armenia, Colombia, was a long and winding one. “When I graduated from high school,” Gonzalez said, “I didn’t plan on going to school in the U.S. I couldn’t even speak English.” However, after a year at La Uni- versidad Javerriana in Colombia, Gonzalez decided to join her older sister in Houston and give American colleges a try — after she had learned English. “I spent a year at the University of Houston,” Gonzalez said. “All I did was learn English and practice my golf” Duke Butler, President of the Houston Golf Association, saw Gon zalez at one of her golf practices. Butler, an Aggie alumnus, invited Gonzalez to visit Texas A&M and play a few holes of golf. Gonzalez was offered an A&M scholarship and the “Colombian Connection’’ was complete. “I was recruited by USC and Flor ida State,” Gonzalez said, “but my fa ther didn’t like the idea of me living alone in Los Angeles.” Gonzalez said her father has al ways been an important influence in her decisions. any of my goals without my father’s support,” Gonzalez said. “When my friends, who were older, went away to college,” Gonza lez said, “my father took me out and taught me golf so I wouldn’t need other people to play with.” “From the first swing, my father knew I could be a good player.” With nine years of practice, les sons and tournaments Gonzalez’ has developed her outstanding driving ability. “My swing is fine,” she said, “but my putting is where I need to im prove.” YOU have a Clear Choice!

Even without the desired putting skills, Gonzalez’ game has been good enough for her to win the 1979 Co lombian National Amateur Championship, a second place finish in the 1981 World Pairs Championship and All-Southwest Conference recognition for the 1981-82 season. Gonzalez was third in the SWC in scoring average last season. Gonzalez said the highpoint of her collegiate career wasn’t a per sonal performance, but rather a team victory: the 1981 team won the conference championship her fresh man year. “We had such a close team that year,” she said, “and everything was still so new to me.” Gonzalez said playing for Texas A&M has not been without its ups and downs however. “I didn’t have a good sophomore season,” she said. “I had a lot of per sonal problems, and they affected my game.” “I considered transferring to an other school because I just wasn’t happy here,” Gonzalez said. But Gonzalez decided to stick it out at Texas A&M. Gonzalez said she has not regretted her decision. “The bad times didn’t last forev er,” she said, “and I know I am get ting a great education here.” In Case of an Emergency CALL US! Houston: best versus NFL elite United Press International HOUSTON — Oilers head coach Hugh Campbell said Monday he wants his winless players to play equally hard every game, even though it appears they do best against the NFL’s leading teams. The Oilers Sunday lost 34-21 to the 7-1 San Francisco 49ers, but they were within a touchdown of winning until midway through the fourth quarter. The previous week, the Oil ers, now 0-8, lost 28-10 to Miami, 8- 0. After averaging 265.6 yards per game the first seven weeks, the Oiler offense exploded Sunday for 432 yards, their highest of the season. Quarterback Warren Moon had the best day of his NFL career, complet ing 25 of 33 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns. “Under your plan, we would have said yesterday go out and have a good time but don’t get hurt because next week’s the big one,” Campbell said to a reporter’s observation that the Oilers do best against good teams and not so good against poor teams. The Oilers host Cincinnati, 2-6, Sunday. The Bengals defeated the Oilers, 13-3, on Oct. 7, but the Oilers are looking for a win to start the sec ond half of their season. Campbell said he enjoyed leaving the Astrodome Sunday more than on any previous Sunday, even though the Oilers again lost. “Any successes you have help you believe that you’re going the right way and that you can have more suc cesses that add up to a win,” he said. However, he said players still have that “empty feeling” looking for a FREE wrecker service for A&M students.
