’35 Coogs won’t need
any divine intervention
Associated Press
HOUSTON — While others are
still trying to figure out how Hous
ton got into the Cotton Bowl last sea
son, Bill Yeoman rocked back com
fortably behind his desk recently
and solved the mystery.
“I believe in providence, but a lot
of people have a serious problem ex
plaining the season last year,” Yeo
man said. “The Lord put us there,
there’s no question about it. He runs
things anyway and I’m just real glad
He decided to let us go.*
Divine Providence may be the
iy to explain the series of
events leading to the Cougars’
" wl
only wa}
fourth trip to the Cotton Bowl in
nine seasons in the Southwest Con
ference.
Going into the next to last game of
the season, the Cougars were antic
ipating being in front of their tele
vision sets on New Year’s Day in
stead of playing Boston College in
the Cotton Bowl.
This season, with nine returning
starters on offense and six on de
fense from that Cinderella team, no
one is discounting the possibility of
five trips in 10 seasons.
Mucn of the Cougars’ chances will
center around the continued pro-
E ess of junior quarterback Gerald
mdry, who set four school offen
sive records and ran and passed for
almost 2,000 yards last season.
He led the Cougars to the Cotton
Bowl as a sophomore, which could
make it hard to come up with an en
core. But Yeoman believes he can.
“I think we’re going to get more
out of our receivers, mainly because
I thought Gerald made some signifi
cant improvement this spring.” Yeo
man said. “He got a chance to see it
(veer offense) more.”
Yeoman can’t understand the crit
icism leveled at Landry last season.
“When a sophomore without
much experience in an option of
fense takes you to the Cotton Bowl,
you’ve got be a little careful about
oeing hyper-critical,” he said.
Landry will have an offensive cast
that also includes an experienced
corps of running backs in Raymond
Tate, Mat Pierson and Sloan Hood;
solid tight end Carl Hilton and wide
receivers Larry Shepherd and An
thony Ketcham.
“Hilton, now, I don’t want to go
around saying he’s better than any
body, but nobody has got a better
tight end in the country than we do,”
Yeoman said.
Defensive tackle T.T. Turner will
anchor the Cougar defensive line
and Randy Thornton will direct traf
fic in the secondary.
“It appears that we may have
more speed and experience in the
secondary than we’ve had in quite a
while, which is encouraging,’’ Yeo
man said.
Sophomores Robert Harper and
Gary McGuire will start in the Cou
gars’ two-linebacker defense.
“Harper and McGuire are two
outstanding physical specimens,”
Yeoman said. “You’ve got to stay
upright (healthy), but it looks like
we’ll oe in pretty good shape there.
Harper, a fresnman standout last
season, needs to learn more disci
pline, Yoman said.
“Robert has to discipline himself
to make sure he makes the tackle as
opposed to unraveling the guy with
a Dig hit,” Yeoman said. “The big hit
is fine, just make sure you make the
tackle.’
Turner, a senior three-year letter-
man, had 23 tackles for 98 yards in
losses last season, including 11 quar
terback sacks.
“We’re not as deep there as we’d
like to be but if Turner stays
upright, we’ll have, I think, as good a
tackle as anyone in the country will.”
Noseguard Eddie Gilmore, who
regularly balloons over 300 pounds
in the off season, has a weight prob
lem once again.
The Cougars, 7-5 last season in
cluding the Cotton Bowl loss to Bos
ton Cmleg^, will have a non-confer
ence schedule of Tulsa, Washington
and Louisville before jumping into
league play against Baylor.
Dorset!
asks for
a trade
Cowboys' star still
without contract
Associated Press
DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys
holdout running back Tony Dor-
sett, who says he has made no
headway in contract renegotia
tions, has suggested that the team
trade him before the National
Football League regular season
begins.
C o w b o
> y s
iresident Tex
Schramm and
Dorsett met
briefly during
the past week
end, but Dorsett
said he is no
closer to reach
ing a contract
agreement now
than he was two
weeks ago
DORSETT
Schramm confirmed that Dor
sett has asked for the trade.
“He keeps saying he’s been em
barrassed and that he might be
better off somewhere else,”
Schramm said. “But I told him
you don’t just pull down the cur
tains on a bad experience because
you’re traded to another team.”
Dorsett said if he is traded, he
would prefer to play for the Mi
ami Dolphins or the Pittsburgh
Steelers, who play only 20 miles
from his hometown of Aliquippa,
Pa.
Dorsett is seeking to renego
tiate his contract with the Cow
boys. He has been involved in a
dispute with the Internal Reve
nue Service over more than
$400,000 in back taxes the IRS
says he owes.
“Right now I think I will be
traded,” Dorsett said Monday. “I
think I’ve made it pretty obvious.
that I wouldn’t mind going to an
other team.”
Dorsett has missed 18 days of
training camp and has been fined
$13,000 so far.
