Cowboys’ Pelluer replaces
Landry as team’s stone face
Associated Press
IRVING — Dallas Cowboys
Coach Tom Landry, the original old
stone face, says Steve Pelluer re
minds him of himself.
“Pelluer never changed express
ion when I sent him in,” Landry
said. “He’s worse than I am.”
Pelluer, a third-string quarterback
and former Rose Bowl hero who had
never taken a snap in a regular sea
son National Football League game,
led the Cowboys to the National
Conference Eastern Division title
Sunday. It was Dallas’ first division
title since 1981.
“I really didn’t have time to think
about it, which is nice,” said Pelluer,
a fifth-round draft choice in 1984,
after the Cowboys’ 28-21 victory
over the New York Giants.
Pelluer came into the game in the
second half after starting quar
terback Danny White had been side
lined with a shoulder bruise and
Gary Hogeboom had suffered a con
cussion.
With Dallas leading 21-14, Pelluer
took the Cowboys on a 72-yard

touchdown drive highlighted by a
28-yard pass to rookie Karl Powe on
third and 15. The completion to the
Giants’ 24-yard line setup Timmy
Newsome’s 1-yard scoring run.
“This probably surpasses anything
I’ve ever done," Pelluer said. “I’ve
had some close games and that was a
big thrill. I didn’t feel like all the
pressure was on me. I just went into
the huddle and told everybody to do
their job. It’s just an unbelievable
feeling.”
Dallas running back Tony Dorsett
said the completion to Powe “was the
biggest play of the game. That en
abled us to go down and score our
last touchdown.”
Pelluer didn’t even practice with
the first team during the week. He
was busy impersonating Giants’
quarterback Phil Simms on the scout
team.
Pelluer could see some more ac
tion in San Francisco on Sunday.
White said Sunday he doubted he
would play.

Hogeboom was expected to re
cover for the 49ers.
The Cowboys will meet the Los
Angeles Rams either Jan. 4 or Jan. 5.
They must beat the 49ers on Sunday
and the Rams must lose to the Los
Angeles Raiders next Monday night
for the game to be played at Texas
Stadium.

PHILADELPHIA — Marion
Campbell was fired as coach of the
Philadelphia Eagles on Monday and
David Shula, 26, son of Miami Dol
phins Coach Don Shula, emerged as
the major candidate for the job.
Fred Bruney, an Eagles assistant
coach, will serve as interim coach for
the rest of the season, General Man
ager Harry Gamble said.
Campbell, 56,
had two years re
maining on his
five-year con
tract. He had
moved up from
defensive coor
dinator when
Dick Vermeil resigned after the
1982 season.
Under Campbell, the Eagles were
17-29-1. The club lost, 20-14, to San
Diego on Sunday, assuring a fourth
straight losing season.
Gamble said Campbell was fired
because the Eagles had not shown a
year-to-year improvement in their
record.
The Eagles under Campbell were
5-11, 6-9-1, and this season, 6-9 be
fore their final game Sunday in Min
nesota.
Eagles owner Norman Braman,
who purchased the club last spring
for $65 million, had predicted the
Eagles would make the playoffs this
year and perhaps the Super Bowl.
“Marion felt we were a playoff-
caliber team,” Braman said Monday.
“I still think we are.”
Spurs struggle in post- c lce’ age
San Antonio style turns to defense without Gervin's scoring
t’s philosophy was simple
up more snots than the other
Associated Press
The San Antonio Spurs with
out George Gervin are not the
same team that always seemed to
win 130-125 and lose by the same
score.
In the late 1970s and early
1980s, when Gervin was the Na
tional Basketball Association scor
ing champion four times, the
Spurs won five division titles. The
team’!
put up
team and try to outscore them.
But over the last: two seasons,
that method didn’t work. The
Spurs lost more games than they
won and even failed to make the
playoffs once. At 33, Gervin’s
once-smooth moves were show
ing some hard edges, and in a bit
ter preseason separation, the
“Iceman” was traded to the Chi
cago Bulls.
“You can’t just outscore other
teams anymore; the NBA is
changed,” said veteran center Ar
tis Gilmore. “The organization
saw that coming and did some
thing about it.
“There is more emphasis on
defense around the league. The
teams that are most successful —
Milwaukee (Bucks), (Los Angeles)
Lakers, Boston (Celtics) — are ex
cellent defensive teams. We had
to start playing defense, too.”
The Spurs undoubtedly are
scrappier on defense and more
physical than the old days, but
can they be as successful?
San Antonio now is 14-12; the
Spurs were 41-41 last season, so
the answer is still in doubt.
“I think we’re better,” said the
Spurs’ leading scorer, Mike
Mitchell. “We’re a more physical
team and we don’t have to rely on
one guy scoring 25 points to win.”
Gervin’s replacement at guard,
second-year man Alvin Rob
ertson; said, “We can be a better
team than we were last year if we
can be more consistent. Our divi
sion is strong, so there’s no telling
how far we can go. I think we’re a
‘harder’ team — by that I mean
that we have guys at every posi
tion who play hard.”
The 6-foot-4 Robertson, a
standout for the Arkansas Razor-
backs, epitomizes the changed
emphasis of the Spurs. While
Gervin was almost effortless in his
ability to score, effortless is not in
Robertson’s vocabulary — on of
fense or defense.'
“I’ll never be the scorer Gervin
was, but I can do a lot of things he
couldn’t do as well — like re
bound, pass and play defense,”
Robertson said.
Only the 7-2 Gilmore has more
rebounds on the Spurs than Rob
ertson, who also leads the entire
NBA in steals.
After 27 games, he has 90
thefts, and four times he has re
corded seven steals in a single
game. Meanwhile, Gervin has
only 12 steals for the Bulls.
In scoring, where Robertson
seemingly takes a back seat to
Gervin, the gap is not as wide as
expected.
Gervin went into this season
with the the highest career scor
ing average (27.3) of any active
player, including all-time leading
scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. For
the Bulls, however, Gervin is
scoring just 15 points per game,
less than a point higher than Rob
ertson, who has improved his av
erage in his last four outings with
29, 17, 23 and 19-point games.
“If I can make my outside
shots, I’m pretty hard to stop,”
Robertson said. “But I have to hit
my outside jumpers to be effec
tive.”
Spurs Coach Cotton Fitzsim
mons said, “Everyone’s getting af
ter it more on defense. We try to
make things happen on defense.
Last year, we tried to make things
happen on offense. If we were
outshot, we lost. Now we hustle
and scrap and I think the people
in San Antonio like us more.”

Braman said he was not con
cerned about Simla’s young age.
“He has all of the qualities to be a
head coach in the NFL,” Braman
said. “He’ll be a head coach some
where in this league. David Shula
has been the right arm and trusted
confidant of Don Shula. Working all
these years, he has picked up qual
ities that have made Don such a suc
cess.”
This is Shula’s fourth season as an
assistant to his father; He spent the
first three coaching the Miami wide
receivers "and this year also has
coached the quarterbacks.
Braman, who met with Shula last
Monday to discuss the job, said the
Miami assistant was not the only
prospect, and he mentioned Jim
Mora, coach of the two-time cham
pion Baltimore Stars in the United
States Football League.
Braman and Gamble said the Ea
gles hoped to announce a new coach
after the end of the regular season.
In a written statement, Campbell
said he felt no rancor about the fir
ing.
“I feel at peace with myself be
cause I know that my coaching staff
and 1 put every ounce of effort we
had into making the Eagles a better
team,” Campbell said. “And I feel we
succeeded: There’s no question in
my mind that this year’s team is con
siderably better than the one 1 inher
ited three years ago.”
Old Oilers
find little
new hope
Associated Press
HOUSTON — The Houston Oil
ers had a new coach, new hope and
new offensive flare, but little
changed in a 28-21 loss to Cleveland
that may have ended interim coach
Jerry Glanville’s bid to be retained
next season.
But Glanville reported to work
Monday morning with a positive atti
tude about his team and his own fu
ture.
“If I’m not back as head coach
next year. I’ve got all kinds of
plusses that counteract that,” Glan
ville said after his first game as a re
placement for Hugh Campbell.
. “I’ve got one of the best coach’s
wives in the business, a great son and
a dog that still hunts. I’ve got a car
that’s down to 36 more payments
and I belong to a helluva church. So
I’m better of than most of the people
in Houston even if I don’t get the
job.”
Oilers General Manager Ladd
Herzeg fired Campbell last Monday
and said the permanent job would
be Glanville’s if the Oilers won their
last two games.
The Oilers, 5-10, close out their
season ; Sunday at Indianapolis
against the Colts.
“I don’t worry about that because
I’m just worried about making this a
good football team,” Glanville said.
“We don’t want anyone to go India
napolis that doesn’t think this is a
good football team.”
Asked if Herzeg had any com
ments to him following the game,
Glanville said, “He said it was a good
job. But Ladd is no different from
anyone. A good job can only be
judged if you win the football
game.”
Glanville had only six days to pre
pare for his first game as a head
coach and there were certain adjust
ments. 6lanville, as a veteran de
fensive coordinator, had spent most
Sundays in the press box calling de
fensive signals.
He also was unfamiliar with the
Oilers’ offensive terminology and re
lied on offensive coordinator Joe Fa-
ragalli to make the calls.
