Houston gets winners but remains NFL lose United Press International f ■ ■ -1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Houston Oilers brought in winners and they got losers. But that’s why Coach Hugh Campbell, one of those winners, is not about to panic over his team’s 0- 10 start this National Football League season: Winners don’t stay losers. The Oilers have made a concen trated effort in recent years to add players with backgrounds of success. In recent years, they have drafted Dean Steinkuhler of Nebraska, Mike Munchak and Mike McCloskey of Penn State, Bruce Matthews of Southern Cal, Larry Moriarty of Notre Dame, Keith Bostic and Stan Edwards of Michigan and Herkie Walls of Texas — players from schools that can be labeled tradi tional national powers. This season Houston hired Camp bell, who compiled a Canadian Foot ball League record 77.3 winning percentage (81-22-5). He won five Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eski mos, and then outbid several teams for Warren Moon, who took Wash ington to a Rose Bowl in his senior year (1977) and then quarterbacked Edmonton to those five Grey Cups. Campbell feels his players all know how to win and will eventually do just that in the NFL. And that’s the incentive that keeps the Oilers plugging away in 1984. “All the coaches and players here have been in situations that have been very successful,” Campbell said. “We have people who have been in winning situations and that has been an influence on our draft ing. We have people who have been in that environment and that will eventually help us. “I’m not sure what that’s doing for us right now except that those play ers know there’s something better. Anybody who has been in football knows that it’s a game of cycles. There are going to be down periods and up periods.” The down period started long be fore Campbell ever arrived. The Oil ers went 1-8 in the 1982 strike sea son and 2-14 in 1983. Campbell still hasn’t coached the Oilers to a victory in this his first season and Houston’s overall losing streak stands at 1 1 games. "I’ve gone through tought^ but nothing exactly like this,”Cat: bell said. “Every season is within itself. If you had a team to winning a lot of games and lose three or four in a row,it has same effect as a team like this dijl not used to winning and has Iosif in a row. When you lose it's toiiM cope with. It’s something 1 hi faced before but not for an extend! length of time. 2 Blocks 303 Collf “The psyche of a football playtJ attained on the field; it isn't soJ thing you can teach himonthesil lines or in the classroom.

Pokes puttin'on the blitz United Press International ST. LOUIS — Dallas coach Tom Landry says the Cowboys will live or die with their blitzing defense, al though it left them cold in their pre vious meeting with the St. Louis Car dinals this season. “We’ve been using the same de fense all year, blitzing some,” Landry said. “We’ll probably con tinue. That’s our trend.” In the first St. Louis-Dallas match up, the Cowboys’ safety blitzes failed to reach Cards’ quarterback Neil Lo max in time, and left his wide receiv ers with man-to-man coverage. As a result, Roy Green caught eight passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns, and the Cardinals left Texas Stadium with a 31-20 victory. Landry and the Cowboy defend ers are well aware that they must find a way to stop Green, nicknamed “Jet Stream” by his teammates. “ guy the l ers m tne business,” Landry said. “He’s got great speed and one of the best spurts under the long ball. That’s really the key to the long re ceiver — his ability to change speeds when the ball is maybe a little out ahead of him.” Dallas cornerback Everson Walls, who was victimized several times by Green, said Green is the hardest to cover of all the NFC’s pass receivers. “By far, by far,” Walls said. “I can handle some of the guys because they’re small, and I can handle some because they don’t quite have that much speed. But Roy is strong and he’s fast. He gets faster as he rolls along and that’s a problem.” The Dallas defense might do well to adopt the method used by the Los Angeles Rams against the Cardinals last Sunday in St. Louis. The Rams dropped into a deep zone, forcing Lomax to dump off to his runmJ backs with nary a blitz. Green still caught five passesfel 105 yards, but Los Angeles stymie ha " ’ Bl W St. Louis offense that had beenavtfl aging 30 points a game. The RaJ left as a lb-13 winner. But Walls echoed Landry in sai| ing the Cowboys probably woull stick with their blitzes. “We’ve been doing this ever siri|! I’ve been here,” Walls said. “We f sically live and die by our philosopll of matchup man-to-man, withabtf once in a while.” Green, who has caught 33 passJ for b82 yards and five touchdowg in his career against Dallas, saidkl welcomes the single coverage. “They are a blitzing team andihl means they’re playing man-tomanj Green said. “When a receiver is onti on-one, he is supposed to havebil days.” ‘Limit or from 11 Day Deer Hunting for reservations call 1-828-4977 1-828-4468 Russ or Louis Perkins or come by MSC Barber Shop Mattress Set $79.95 This mattress & foundation set offers true firmness at an affordable price.
