Monday, October 14, 1985/The Battalion/Page 11 TANK MCNAMARA* by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds run over Dodgers Cowboys stifle Steelers with ‘patented’ Dorsett Associated Press IRVING — Tony Dorsett idol ized the black and gold of the Pittsburgh Steelers when he was a kid, but the Dallas Cowboys’ run ning back made National Football League history against his child hood heroes Sunday. Dorsett joined the l(),()()0-yard career rushing club Sunday, lead ing the Cowboys to a 27-13 vic tory by rushing for 113 yards and scoring two touchdowns. He capped the day with 5:27 left to play when he reversed his Held and scored on a 35-yard run. “It was a patented Dorsett move," Dorsett said. “They tried to cut me off so I just cut back across the field .— even Danny While threw a block. “It’s a thrill to reach 10,000 yards, particularly against the Steelers,” he said. “I followed the black and gold when 1 was young and, if I had to write a script, I would write it getting the mark against them." Dorsett grew up in Aliouippa, Pa.,just 30 miles f rom Pittsburgh. Dallas Coach Tom Landry said, “It was just a tremendous ac complishment. I was glad to see him do it in the fashion he did it. He made some amazing plays out there. And he made a great catch on the touchdown pass from Danny. Nobody seems to know he is also a good receiver.” Dorsett called his 50-yard touchdown pass reception from White “my secret weapon. Coach , Landry told me to go deep and not hook back like I usually do on that play. It worked." • Pittsburgh Coach Chuck Noll Said, “Dorsett had a great day and he’s to be congratulated for reaching such a milestone." The Cowboys' first victory over the Steelers since 1972 increased their NFC East Division-leading record to 5-1, while the Steelers of the AFC Central dropped to 2- 4. Dallas has a two-game lead in the East. Dorsett joined Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Franco Harris, O.J. Simpson and John Riggins in the exclusive 10,000-yard club bn a 19-yard run with 6:10 left in the third period.

Although he was held to only three yards on nine carries in the first half, he made the Steelers pay in another way. He slipped behind linebacker David Little, caught a White pass over the shoulder at the Steeler 30, and completed a 56-yard pass-and-run play for a touch down. The second-quarter play erased a 3-0 Steeler lead which came on Gary Anderson’s 48- yard field goal. Browns 21, Oilers 6 HOUSTON — The Houston Oilers pressured Cleveland rookie quarterback Bernie Kosar through two quarters of his Na tional Football League regular season debut, holding him to three pass completions. Then it was Kosar’s turn. On his first pass of the third quarter, Kosar scrambled out of the pocket and hit Clarence Weathers with a 68-yard touch down bomb that rallied the Browns to a 21-6 victory over the Houston Oilers Sunday. After struggling with three completions in 12 attempts for 44 yards in the first half, Kosar, sub bing for injured Gary Danielson, hit five of seven passes for 164 yards in the second half. “I was looking forward to this game,” Kosar said. “Our game plan was the same throughout the game. We just executed better the second half.” The touchdown bomb loos ened Up the Oilers, Kosar said. “I felt the touchdown pass took the pressure off the whole team and gave us all a lift,” he said. “Once they knew we could go deep, they couldn’t stop our run ning game.” Weathers was his favorite tar get, catching three passes for 146 yards. “He was so wide open, I just didn’t want to overthrow him,” he said. “They line up in a blitz, but got out of it into a zone. I gave Clarence the signal and we exe cuted the play.” Weathers said his touchdown came after an earlier attempt to run the same play. “Bernie had called the play earlier but I couldn’t run it,” Weathers said. “But he felt like I could do it. The pass was perfect and they may have misjudged my speed.” The Oilers, plagued by lack of quarterback protection this sea son, allowed only two sacks in the first half before tfie dilemma re turned. r qt Moon ana Mike Moroski were dumped seven times for 41 yards in losses. St Louis loses Coleman in bizarre accident Associated Press ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Car dinals, shocked by a bizarre runaway tarpaulin accident that felled Vince Coleman, rebounded with a record setting 12-2 victory over Los Angeles Sunday night behind the pitching of John Tudor. The victory evened the National League playoffs at two games apiece. Tito Landrum, Coleman’s re- pLacement in left field, had a record- tying four singles and drove in three runs in his first start in the playoffs. Landrum, a playoff hero for Bal timore in 1983, and Jack Clark set league playoff records with two hits apiece in the Cardinals’ nine-run second inning, and Terry Pendleton drove in three runs in the inning. The Cardinals had eight hits in the inning, all singles, and sent 14 men to the plate. The Cardinals wound up with' 15 hits that included the four by Land rum, three more by Clark and two apiece by Ozzie Smith and Cesar Ce- deno. Clark also scored three times. Tudor, the loser in Game 1 at Los Angeles, retired the first 14 Dodgers batters and had a no-hitter going un til Steve Sax doubled to lead off the sixth. Tudor, 21-8 during the sea son, allowed just three hits, walked two and struck out five through seven innings, He lost his shutout when Bill Madlock led off the sev enth with a home run. The Cardinals,' meanwhile, dis pensed with Dodgers starter Jerry Reuss in their big second inning, the second straight playoff game the Dodgers failed to get a starting pitcher past the third inning. The Cardinals kayoed Bob Welch in the third inning Saturday as they beat the Dodgers 4-2 in Game 3. The Cardinals will send Bob Forsch, 9-6, against Game 1 winner Fernando Valenzuela, 17-10, in Game 5 here on Monday. The best- of-7 series shifts to Los Angeles on Wednesday. Coleman, who stole 110 bases during the season and is a key el ement in the Cards breakaway of fense, was injured about two hours before the game. The accident oc- cured as the grounds crew prepared to cover the field in a light rain, us ing an automatic, retractable system that rolls the tarp over the infield on a long metal cylinder. Coleman had trotted in from the outfield on his way to the dugout, then turned to throw his glove to a teammate when the mechanism was raised from below ground level on the first-base side of homeplate. The metal cylinder apparently rolled up behind Coleman while he wasn’t looking, knocked him down and ran up his left leg, causing scrapes and bruises. Team Dr. Stan London said X- rays showed no breaks, and the in jury, while excruciatingly painful, was not considered serious. Royals shutout Jays to stay alive Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Danny Jackson, starting for the first time in 10 days, scattered eight hits and the Kansas City Royals scrambled to a 2-0 vic tory over Toronto that trimmed the Blue Jays’ lead in the American League playoffs to 3-2. The best-of-seven series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 Tuesday night, with the Blue Jays still needing one more victory to bring the World Series to Canada for the first time. Jackson, who last started on Oct. 3 and mopped up with one scoreless inning in Game 1, was far f rom perfect. But the left-hander, who struck out six and walked one, was good enough when he had to be in keeping the ex plosive BlueJays of f the scoreboard. Toronto put runners on second and third with no outs in the fifth and loaded the bases with two outs in the siKth. Both times, Jackson was equal to the challenge. The Royals, meanwhile, came out attacking against Jimmy Key, who was hit hard in Game 2 and wound up with a no-decision in a game Toronto eventually won in 10 innings. Kansas City scored once in the first inning on George Brett’ groundout, and got their second run in the second oh a sacrifice fly by Darryl Motley. Some adventuresome baserunning helped the Royals score both times. Jackson had relatively little trouble through the first three innings- He gave up a two-out double to George Bell in the first, struck out the side in the second and yielded a one-out single in the third to Tony Fernandez. The middle three innings were a different story for the 24-year-old Jackson. Bell led off the f ourth with a single and Cliff Johnson followed with a single to left. Bell tried to take third on the play as left fielder Lonnie Smith had to wait for a high hop, but Smith’s throw to third got Bell. The play was a close one, and Toronto Manager Bobby Cox, who has seen several tough calls go against his team, argued the decision with um pire Dale Ford. In the fifth, Garth lorg opened with a single and Ernie Whitt pulled a double into the right-field corner that sent lorg to third. Jackson managed to squirm but of trouble by getting Tony Fernandez on a grounder, Damaso Garcia on a popup and Lloyd Moseby on a groundout to second. The Blue Jays tried to rally again in the sixth after there were two outs. Singles By Jesse Barfield and Willie Upshaw and a walk to lorg on a full- count pitch loaded the bases. Kansas City pitching coach Gary Blaylock then visited the mound, and the trip may have settled down Jackson, who got Whitt on a weak grounder to second on the first pitch. The Royals, determined not to go down without a fight, got on the scoreboard early with help from three unlikely sources and one familiar one. .... Smith, just l-for-14 in the playoffs, led off the game for Kansas City with a double to left, the first of his three hits. Then, with Willie Wilson at the plate, Smith took off for third and.stole it with a head-first slide.
