If It marked the first time in 21 | years New York had downed Dallas twice in the same season and the de cision left the two teams tied at 6-4 in the tight NFC East race. 1 Manuel caught a 9-yard touch down pass from Simms with 3:12 to play in the third quarter that put the Giants in front and then caught a 53- yarder that set up Ali Haji-Sheikh’s third field goal of the day early in the fourth period. ■ The Giants’ defense sent a wave of Dallas players to the sidelines with injuries and continually thwarted the Cowboys’ attempts to get back in the game during the last third of the contest. I Haji-Sheikh kicked field goals of 40 and 38 yards in the opening quar ter, booted a 23-yarder early in the final period to give his team a 9- point lead and added a 27-yarder in ' the final two minutes of the game. I Dallas’ only score came on a 30- lyard pass from Gary Hogeboom to Bony Hill with five minutes left in the first half, giving the Cowboys a l7-(i halftime advantage. _ Danny White started the game at f)uarterback for Dallas, but injured jiis left shoulder midway through iihesecond period. Hogeboom, who started the first bight games of the season before be ing replaced by White last week, fame on to throw the touchdown ggies (continued from page 9) ray from occasional offensive inep- itude, split end Jimmy Teal was his Grecian Formula 16. Teal snagged six of Stump’s asses for 173 yards and two touch- owns. Teal and Stump also hooked p for the longest pass completion f the season — a 48-yard bomb that et up Smith’s second field goal. Teal’s stellar effort moved him into eighth place among A&M’s career reception leaders with 64 catches. Ruel echoed 'Sherrill’s feelings about the game’s turning point. pass but was ineffective the rest of the day. Hogeboom was replaced by White early in the fourth quarter, but after two series, no first downs and an other bump on his injured shoulder he left the game for good. Hogeboom completed 13-of-25 passes for 158 yards but was sacked three times and intercepted twice. White was good only l-of-6 pases for 20 yards and was sacked two times. The Giants beat the Cowboys at The Meadowlands in the second game of the season, 28-7, and now have won over Dallas in four of their last seven meetings. Simms completed 16-of-37 passes Sunday for 244 yards with 102 of those yards going to Manuel — whose first touchdown pass of the season came against Dallas in their first meeting. The Giants’ go-ahead touchdown drive began at their own 37 and was touched off by a 20-yard throw from Simms to Manuel. A 29-yard throw from Simms to Zeke Mowatt took the ball to the Dal las 11-yard line and two plays later Manuel caught the touchdown pass. The Giants dominated the early stages of the game, but could not take full advantage of that domina tion. In the first quarter New York had the ball for 12:02, running 26 plays to the Cowboys five. But despite two good drives by the Giants thev had to settle for Haji-Sh eikh’s field goals. The Giants could not get another first down until the final moments of the first half. “The two things that hurt us the most were, without a doubt, the missed extra point and Craig’s fumble,” he said. Ruel said the players responded to the adverse momentum shift by not quitting. “If your coaches quit, your players will quit,” he said. “We’ve all, the players and the coaches, been giving it tne extra effort all this week and we showed that today. In the end, some good things are going to hap pen to this A&M football team. They can’t get any worse.” Pittsburgh melts hapless Houston United Press International PITTSBURGH — Mark Malone, making his third start of the season, threw three touchdown passes and ran for another to lead the Pitts burgh Steelers to a 35-7 romp over the winless Houston Oilers in an AFC Central Division game played in a steady, driving rain Sunday.
