IOPS it Mall, Bryan 822-2092 a College Station 693-3002 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Hous ton’s new winning attitude spilled into the regular season Sunday, as quarterback Warren Moon carried the Oilers to a 31-3 NFL season opening victory over the Green Bay Packers. “We’re going to have a real good year,” declared Jerry Glanville, in his first full year as the Houston coach. "I think we’re for real.” The Oilers and Moon certainly looked real to the Packers, who never quite found a way to stop the Houston offense on third down. The Oilers converted third downs into first downs 79 percent of the time, helping them jump to a 14-3 lead at halftime and a 24-3 lead en tering the final quarter. Moon, the former Canadian Foot ball League quarterback in his third National Football League season, completed 14 erf 21 passes for 218 yards and two touchdowns — of 29 and 44 yards. Moon’s passes were set up by a solid running attack that gained 157 yards; Mike Rentier led all rushers with 83 yards. “That’s our philosophy — to grind it out then go over top,” said Moon, who also ran three y ards for a touchdown with two seconds left in the third quarter. “The offense is pretty simple,” added wide receiver Drew Hill, who caught six passes for 97 yards, in cluding the 44-yard pass from Moon. “I guess we’re going to keep using it until people stop it,” he said. “What we do, we do well.” While the Houston offense shined, the defense did OK too — holding Green Bay to 224 yards. Quarterback Randy Wright was in tercepted once, and the Packers lost one fumble. Moon threw a first-quarter inter ception, but came back to toss a 29- yard touchdown to running back Butch Woolfolk in the second quar ter that helped the Oilers to a 14-3 halftime lead. His 44-yard TD pass came with 9:52 left in the fourth quarter and put the game out of reach of the Packers. Mpon picked a bad shotgun snap off the turf on third-and-10 and fired a bomb to wide receiver Drew Hill, who beat Tim Lewis down the left sideline before being tackled in the end zone. Green Bay cornerback Mark Lee picked off Moon’s pass in the first quarter and the Packers started from their own 36 and drove to the Houston 9-yard fine. The Houston defense held, and Del Greco kicked a 26-yard field goal with 6:42 left in the first quarter for the 3-0 lead. In other games in the first week of the NFL season: Bears 41, Browns 31 The Ghicago Bears, winners in the last Super Bowl and losers in the first use of an instant replay official in NFL history, started defense of their championship by beating Gleveland. The game was in its third play from scrimmage when the Browns’ A1 Gross was credited with a touch down after a bad snap from center by the Bears bounded into the end zone. The officials on the field did not call a safety or a touchdown until they got the word from the replay booth that it was a touchdown. But the Bears got right back into the game when Dennis Gentry re turned the ensuing kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown, then relied on all- time leading rusher Walter Payton, who gained 113 yards and scored two touchdowns. Rams 16, Cardinals 10 Eric Dickerson ran for 193 yards and two touchdowns on a career- high 38 carries, leading Los Angeles over St. Louis, ruining Gene Stal lings’ debut as Cardinals coach. 49ers 31, Bucs 7 Joe Montana, recovered from an injury-plagued preseason, com pleted 32 of 46 passes for 356 yards and one touchdown and San Fran cisco intercepted Tampa Bay quar terback Steve DeBerg seven times to give the 49ers an easy victory.

The Aggies swept Miami of Ohio, 15-8, 15-12 and 16-14, in the final round of the round-ro bin tourney to grab the tourna ment championship. In the championship match, Stacey Smith and redshirt fresh man Kelli Kellen hit .285, while senior Margaret Spence added 17 kills. The Aggies defeated host Illi nois State in Friday’s opening round with tough defense for a 15-11,5-15, 15-7, 15-4 win. In the second round, A&M handed Utah a 15-10, 15-8, 11- 15, 15-9 defeat. Outside hitter Gildner again led the team with 19 kills. Smith followed with 11 kills and Spence had 10. A&M Coach A1 Givens said the team was adhering to plans set at the start of the year. “The kids were eetting better every time they got out on the court,” Givens said. “That’s been our goal — every opportunity we compete we want to play better. * “The greatest thing you can say about us is that we’re a very bal anced team. We had some good individual performances. Stacey Gildner did a nice job for us de fensively. “Margaret Spence came in and had a great match against Miami. Kelli Kellen had a really good de fensive performance up at the net and Laura Hoppe is just a real mainstay for us on defense. Another thing is that (setter) Chris Zogata led the team with 10 service aces. She also set a real smart tournament for us.” The victories give the Aggies a 3-0 start and they will put that perfect record on the line when they host Southwest Texas State Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum. “Now we just want to continue to play better each time we get on the court,” Givens added. “We want the team that plays South west Texas State to be a better- team than the one that beat Mia- Lendl, Navratilova roll to singles victories in U.S. Open NEW YORK (AF) — Ivan Lendl, rolling [along at the top of his game, easily crushed fellow Czechoslovak Miloslav Mecir 6-4, 6- 2, 6-0 Sunday to capture his second consec utive U.S. Open men’s singles title. Earlier, Martina Navratilova stopped an- lother Czechoslovak, seventh-seeded He- jlena Sukova, 6-3, 6-2 to win the women’s [singles crown for the third time in four j years. The champions collected $210,000 each, jthe largest purse in tennis. The runners-up j each pocketed $ 105,000. Navratilova also teamed with Pam [Shriver on Sunday to win the women’s dou bles title, defeating Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia and Australia’s Wendy I Turnbull 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. T he winners split $72,800, with the losers sharing $36,400. The Lendl-Mecir battle was a chess game between two Czechoslovak masters as much as it was a tennis match. They probed and tested each other from the baseline, chang ing spins and pace, looking for any kind of opening. And when it was over, Mecir had learned what many before him had discovered: Lendl is the best)player in the world. “It felt so great, I wanted to do it again,” Lendl said of his repeat performance on the hard courts of the National Tennis Cen ter. “It probably feels better this time.” Lendl tried to assert his dominance right at the beginning, breaking Mecir to begin the set. But the bearded Czechoslovak with the lazy eyes and lazy-looking strokes, broke right back. He then staved off a break point to hold in the third game. Lendl began the eighth game with his third ace, then added his fourth of the day as he held at 15 to move out to a 5-3 lead. Mecir saved one set point in the 10th game, but Lendl hauled off and ended the open ing set with his fifth ace. “Once I had the set, I started moving and playing so much better,” Lendl said. Lendl broke Mecir in the third game af ter two deuces, the final point another backhand passing shot down the line. Ace No. 6 was Lendl’s way of beginning the fourth game, which he won at love. Mecir, by now being run all over the court by Lendl, fought off a break point be fore holding to pull to 2-3. It was the last game he would win as Lendl ripped through the next nine games to finish off his victory in one hour, 53 minutes. For Navratilova, Sunday’s victory was the 15th Grand Slam singles title of her career. “I expected a closer match today, but I think you got your money out of me yester day,” Navratilova told the crowd at Louis Armstrong Stadium, referring to her tense 6-1, 6-7, 7-6 rain-delayed semifinal victory over West Germany’s Steffi Graf. The world’s top-ranked player has won seven Wimbledon crowns, two French Opens and three Australian Opens. In ad dition to winning Wimbledon this year, she was in the final of the French Open in June, losing the title match to Lloyd. But she says the U.S. Open is the most important title since the United States is her adopted country. She ripped off seven consecutive gam^S to close out the first set and grab a 2-0 lead in the second. In the last five games of that streak, she lost only four points. In the end, it was Navratilova again wir£ ning the final point, when Sukova’s ford; hand passing shot down the line landed just wide. Navratilova staved off two break point)) before holding serve in the sixth game for a 5-1 lead, then held at love in the eighth game to capture the crown. / CALL-AMERICA FREE PHONE!
