Akers suspends
UT running back
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Uni
versity of Texas running back Ed
win Simmons was suspended in
definitely from the football team
after his arrest on Saturday while
standing nude in a resident’s back
yard.
In announcing the suspension
Monday, UT head coach Fred
Akers said it was for disciplinary
reasons and declined to discuss
the matter further. He said it was
a private matter and that the sus
pension would be lifted “when I
feel he should play."
Simmons, a 21-year-old senior
from Hawkins, deferred all com
ment to Akers.
Austin police responding to
two prowler calls on Saturday
said they arrested Simmons when
they found him without clothes
on at 4:40 a.m. outside a house.
A police report Filed by ofFicer
Guillermo Cano said Simmons
was arrested on suspicion of bur
glary after a window screen was
ound pulled off the house. He
was released eight hours later
without being charged.
According to police, Simmons
was found near the back door of
the house, and his pants and
shoes were found nearby. Sim
mons was not sure what his name
was or where he was, Cano’s re
port said.
According to Cano, Simmons
told police he had been smoking
marijuana earlier in the evening.
Simmons, a 6-foot-4, 235-
pound senior halfback from
Hawkins, burst into stardom as a
freshman in 1983, scoring two
touchdowns and gaining over 100
yards in leading the Longhorns to
victory over Oklahoma.
The performance earned his
First start the next week against
Arkansas, but he went down with
a knee injury on his second offen
sive play and has battled injuries
and personal problems since.
Last year, he played in 10
f rames, and was the Longhorns’
eading rusher in wins over Ar
kansas and Baylor.
booted a 32-yard Field goal 8V2 min
utes later.
After Anderson’s scoring run fol
lowing the second-half kickoff, the
Cowboys went back to work with
Gordon Banks returning the ensu
ing kickoff 56 yards to St. Louis’ 42.
VetePan Tony Hill was on the re
ceiving end of White’s 13-yard scor
ing pass four plays later. Dallas then
capitalized on two sacks of Cards
quarterback Neil Lomax, who suf
fered four interceptions, to drive 31
yards and set up White’s eight-yard
scoring pass to Walker with 11:15 re
maining.
Ron Fellows picked off a pass by
Lomax with 2:15 remaining and ran
34 yards for the Final Dallas touch
down.
It was the Cowboys’ 13th victory
over their NFC rival in their last 16
meetings, avenging a 21-10 defeat
they suffered on the same Busch
Stadium turf before a national tele
vision audience last Nov. 4.
St. Louis had a chance to draw
first blood by stopping the first drive
of the game after A1 “Bubba” Baker
sacked White for a 10-yard loss.
The Cardinals drove from their
own 28 to the Dallas 22. But John
Lee’s 42-yard field goal attempt was
blocked by Michael Downs.
Dallas got the ball at its own 37,
and Walker, making his first NFL
start, ran for 11 yards on the first
play. But Dave Galloway sacked
White to stall the drive and the Cow
boys were forced to punt.
Unable to move, St. Louis punted
back and Dallas went to work at its
own 42. Sherrard, the Cowboys’ No.
1 draft pick, leaped in the air to beat
Lionel Washington at the St. Louis 2
and sidestepped a second defender
to complete a 39-yard scoring play
with 45 seconds remaining in the
first period.
It was the Cowboys’ first touch
down this year in the opening pe
riod.
After only three plays in the sec
ond period, Walker caught a flat
pass for a 14-yard gain to the Cards’
40 to help set up Septien’s field goal
at 6:15 to make it 10-0.
Oilers coach foresees chance at playoffs
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston
Oilers, who have lost three straight
games since going unbeaten in the
preseason and winning their season
opener, still have a chance for the
playoffs, Coach Jerry Glanville said
Monday.
Pittsburgh, with its two top receiv
ers on the sidelines and facing the
lowest ranked quarterback in the
NFL, beat the Oilers 22-16 in over
time Sunday for the Steelers’ first
victory of the season.
“On the positive side, our objec
tive remains to be in the playoffs and
we are only one game out right
now,” Glanville said.
The Oiler offense was booed once
again for Glanville’s determined at
tempts to get a ground game estab
lished. The Oilers ran 18 times on 24
first-down chances for a 2.7-yard av
erage and gained just 81 net yards
rushing against the Steelers.
“It’s a matter of individual break
downs,” Glanville said. “It wasn’t the
same player making all the mis
takes.”
Glanville could use punter Lee
Johnson as an example of the occa
sional mistake.
Johnson averaged 46.7 yards on
seven punts, but his line drive 34-
yard punt in the overtime allowed
Rick Woods to return the kick 41
yards to set up the - winning touch
down.
Steeler quarterback Mark Malone
burned the Oilers twice with a boot
leg play that gained 45 and 11 yards
to set up scores.
Pittsburgh blitzes netted six sacks
for 37 yards in losses to Oiler quar
terback Warren Moon.
Chicago could make NFL ‘unbearable’
(AP) — A warning to those other
NFL teams with championship am
bitions: This year’s version of the
Chicago Bears isn’t much different
than last year’s. — ,
It’s not so Sports
much that the Analysis
Bears have fin-
ished the first quarter unbeaten and
have a soft schedule that makes 14-2,
15-1 or even 16-0 a distinct possibil
ity. It’s that they went from 3-0 to 4-
0 in the same manner they won last
year — faced with a threaf r to their
dominance, they crushed the chal
lenger.
Sunday’s score in question was
Bears 44, Bengals 7, in a game that
was supposed to be Chicago’s tough
est after undistinguished efforts
against Cleveland, Philadelphia and
Green Bay. In fact, at least half the
nation’s all-knowing pundits picked
the Bears to lose.
Instead, the result was the same as
last year when Chicago would stum
ble against Tampa Bay and India
napolis, then go out and beat the
good teams by 44-0 (Dallas), 45-10
(Washington) or a combined 91-10
(Giants, Rams and Patriots in the
playoffs).
“That’s the world championship
team we saw out there,” said Cincin
nati Coach Sam Wyche, whose team
was done in by the return of Jim Mc
Mahon, who threw for three touch
downs, and renewed intensity that
might have been a reaction to those
people who picked the Bengals.
Where does that leave the rest of
the NFL after the first quarter of the
season?
In the NFC, it leaves everyone
looking up at the Bears.
That includes the expected con-

Retton quits
gymnastics
for school
NEW YORK (AP) — Mary Lou
Retton, who vaulted to fame and
fortune in the 1984 Olympic
Games, said Monday that school
will supplant gymnastics in her
life now.
In announcing her retirement
from gymnastics, Retton, 18, said
she is close to signing a contract
with NBC television to be a com
mentator on the sport.
“My decision to retire was
based on my feeling that I have
achieved the goals as a gymnast
that I set out for myself several
years ago,” Retton said at a news
conference. “My goals now are to
ward college.
“But I’ll always be a part of
gymnastics, whether as a com
mentator or coaching.
“I’ve spent my whole life in the
gym — 11 years of hard work.
Now I have the rest of my life to
do what I want.”
Her agent, John Traetta, said
her signing with NBC is “just a
matter of time. We’re concerned
because she’s so young. But we’re
close.
“They (NBC) would like Mary
Lou to participate (as a commen
tator) in all the gymnastics events
they do up to ana through the ’88
Blympics” in Seoul, South Korea.
In the Los Angeles Games,
Retton won the gold medal for in
dividual all-around competition,
bronze medals in the floor exer
cise and uneven parallel bars, and
silvers in the vault and team com
petition. She was named The As
sociated Press’ Female Athlete of
the Year and Sports Illustrated’s
Sportsman of the Year along with
hurdler Edwin Moses in 1984.
She has competed only once
since the 1984 Games, in the
America Cup in Indianapolis in
March 1985 where she won her
third straight title.
“Gymnastics is such a discipline
.. . that I haven’t been in a formal
class situation since the 10th
grade,” Retton said. “I had to
take correspondence classes to
graduate.”
Retton is a freshman at the
University of Texas, majoring in
communications.
