CHICAGO — Eric Bullock’s first
major league hit, a tie-breaking, two-
run pinch double in the fifth inning
Monday helped the Houston Astros
defeat the Cnicago Cubs 7-2.
Kevin Bass opened the fifth with a
single and went to third on Mark
Bailey’s double. Bullock doubled
both runners home and scored on a
single by Denny Walling.
Nolan Ryan started for the Astros
but left in the first inning with a
strain in his right shoulder after al
lowing two runs.
Bob Dernier singled and Shawon
Dunston walked. The runners ad
vanced on a balk and Dernier scored
n a wild pitch. Keith Moreland sin-
led to score Dunston and after Ron
Cey popped out, Ryan left the game.
Bill Dawley, 3-2, took over and
was credited with the victory. Char-
ie Kerfeld pitched 4 1-3 innings for
the Astros before giving way to Dave
"mith for the last two outs.
Jay Bailer, 0-3, was the loser.
The Astros tied it in the second in
ning on Glenn Davis’ 12th homer af
terjerry Humphrey had doubled.
Houston scored two more runs in
the seventh. Bailey walked and went
to second on a sacrifice. Craig Rey
nolds singled to center to score Bai
ley and came all the way home when
the hall went through Dernier’s legs
for an error.

ATHENS, Ga. — Mike Shula
threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to
A1 Bell with 16 seconds remaining to
lift Alabama to a 20-16 Southeastern
Conference victory over Georgia in a
game of wild comebacks Monday
night.
Alabama, which had led most of
the way before falling behind on a
blocked punt with 50 seconds left,
had no timeouts when it started a 70-
yard drive.
Shula, son of Miami Dolphins
Coach Don Shula, connected with
Greg Richarson for 16 yards, Bell
for 26 and Richardson again for 12,
before finding Bell alone at the
Georgia 3 on the 17-yard scoring
play.
Bell, a junior college transfer, also
caught a 16-yard TD
ula
pass
from
Shula in the second quarter.
Freshman Terri Webster blocked
a punt in the final minute and junior
Calvin Ruff pounced on it for a
touchdown to give Georgia a 16-13
lead.
The Bulldogs had closed to within
13-9 with 4:21 to play on freshman
Wayne Johnson’s 11-yard scroring
strike.
Alabama’s vaunted defense, fea
turing nine returning starters from
last year and led by the play of line
backer Cornelius Bennett, clamped
a stranglehold on Georgia’s offense
most of the game.

Fans feel
the heat
in Dallas
The Wave' is the only
relief in Texas Stadium
By DENNE H. FREEMAN
A P Sports Writer
IRVING — The easiest thing in
the world besides becoming addicted
to homemade vanilla ice cream is
spending somebody else’s money.
That’s why the phrase “put your
money where your mouth is” was
coined.
So the following advice will come
sans the greenbacks to put the plan
into action: Dome Texas Stadium!
Do it now before the Texas heat
sidelines a player or hospitalizes a
fan.
Former Dallas Cowboys owner
Clint Murchison’s idea for Texas
Stadium was a noble one.
He wanted the fans to be pro
tected from the elements of sun and
rain, yet keep the feeling of a sport
that was meant to be played outside,
so the concept of the unique hole-in-
the-roof went on the architect’s
drawing boards back in the early
1970s.
The field was left unprotected
from the elements. On sunny days,
shadows made life difficult for wide
receivers. Television camera crews
have yet to invent a filter to handle
the problem.
On 100-degree days in August
and September, heat baking the arti
ficial surface made the floor a frying
pan felt through rubber-soled shoes.
It was tough enough on the fans,
although on exceptionally windy
days there was some circulation be
tween the rim of the roof and the
stands.
Now that’s gone.
Construction of some 90 crown
suites between the upper deck of
seats and the roof has turned Texas
Stadium into a microwave oven.
There are 160 new blowers under
the suites and if you’re in front of
one of them, it’s fine. However, most
fans aren’t that lucky.
On Saturday night, it was 95 offi
cial degrees at kickoff but more like
115 degrees at field level. And no
wind.
Take the comment of Mrs. Debbie
Baker of Fort Worth. She told a re
porter for the Dallas Morning News:
“It’s tremendously hotter. They
should air-condition the stadium.”
Another fan begged to be sprayed
by a sprinkler system, and others
dressea like they were at the beach.
It still didn’t help.
Mike Freeman of GbrlAnd, Texas,
wore his tennis outfit to the game.
He was in the lower section. After
three hours, he was soaked with
sweat.
“Hot, it was darned hot,” he said.
“Will Bum close this thing in some
day, do you think?”
New majority Cowboys’ owner
H.R. “Bum” Bright has made some
big improvements in the stadium in
his one year on the job.
T he double Diamond Vision tele
vision screens installed for this year
are one-of-a-kind in the National
Football League. Fans enjoyed them
immensely Saturday night as the
Cowboys whipped the Houston Oil
ers 20-10 in an exhibition game.
But the only relief the fans got
from the heat was “the wAve.”
“That was a blessing when we
started doing the ‘wave,’” said Free
man. “It got the wind stirred up.”
Of course, it would take millions
of dollars to dome the top of Texas
Stadium. And once domed, the daily
air-conditioning bill would be ex
pensive. I believe the last daily air-
conditioning bill I heard was
$55,000 a day in the Astrodome to
keep it at a constant 72 degrees.
I’d like to see Bright go ahead and
spend the money for i pop top
dome. However, I’ve only got about
a sawbuck I can free right now to
help him on the project.
