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.
Redskins 41, Eagles 14
Jay Schroeder threw for two
touchdowns and ran for another,

A&M volleyball team
grabs tourney victory
The Texas A&M volleyball
team had its difficulties getting
out of Norman, Ill., Sunday — its
bus on the way to Chicago’s
O’Hare Airport broke down —
but had little trouble getting past
its opponents in the Illinois State
Invitational Volleyball Tourna
ment this weekend.
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. /
