I To make room for Clinkscale on the active roster, the Colts cut defen sive back Preston Davis. I Colts spokesman Craig Kelly said Klinkscale was scheduled to begin ractice Thursday, but it was not nown when the strong safety would lee his first action as a Colt. I “It will be up to the coaches to work him in. I imagine he’ll have to get in some kind of playing shape after being out half the season,” Kelly said. The Indianapolis News reported Wednesday that Clinkscale would sign a three-year contract worth more than $720,000. That figure could not be immediately confirmed by The Associated Press. The five-year Cowboy veteran did not report to the team this year. The Colts then claimed Clinkscale on waivers, but he declined the offer and became a free agent. Clinkscale, 28, met last week with the Colts, Miami Dolphins, Detrait Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Raiders. “It was a very difficult decision between the Colts and Miami,” Clink scale said Tuesday night in a tele phone interview with the News. Clinkscale had a career-high 100 tackles with Dallas last year. He was a starter the past three seasons and has nine interceptions and nine fumble recoveries in his career.

Then Joe Barton stepped in. As the only Texas Congressman on the impor tant Interior Committee, Joe worked out a settle ment in his committee. Then, despite opposition from the Federal Government, Joe was part of the small group of Congressmen who got the House and Senate to agree on how to divide the money among the states. The result? Texas schools got over $424 mil lion this year alone, with two-thirds of it going to public education and Texas will receive hundreds of millions more in the years ahead to improve education for our children. Over time, the solu tion Joe Barton was a major part of will mean as much as a billion dollars for our state’s education system. 111 -y 'li “Joe was one of the key players and a tough negotiator for Texas in coming up with a solution to this eight-year old problem.
