Test shows
no steroids
in Ag athletes
Randomly-selected athletes
from Texas A&M have tested 100
percent negative for steroid usage,
A&M officials said in a report
Tuesday.
Sixty athletes, 30 of whom were
football players, were involved in
the testing conducted by the
Southwest Conference office as
part of a conference-wide steroid
testing program.
A&M Athletic Director Jackie
Sherrill said he was happy with the
results.
“This is undisputable indication
that our young people are aware
of the serious need to stay away
from drugs, and that perfor
mance-enhancing drugs do not
make you a better athlete,” he
said.
The test was the second in a
month for A&M athletes. The
University conducted the first test,
which checked for both steroids
nd other drugs. That test in
volved 90 A&M athletes, including
80 football players, the report
said. Results for that test were 100
percent negative.
McDonald signs
with the Cowboys
V
Tht
IRVING (AP) — The Dallas Cow
boys signed former Cleveland
Browns quarterback Paul McDonald
to a multi-year contract Tuesday be
cause of the broken wrist that Danny
White suffered in Sunday’s 17-14
loss to the New York Giants.
McDonald, 28, worked with Cow
boys offensive coordinator Paul
Hackett in college and in the pros.
McDonald led the University of
Southern California to two Rose
Bowl wins and a national
championship and was drafted in
the fourth round by the Browns in
1980.
Hackett coached McDonald four
years at USC and two more with the
Browns. The lefthanded quar
terback had some of his best days
under Hackett.
McDonald started the 1984 season
poorly, being sacked 40 times as the
Browns won only one of their first
eight games. McDonald didn’t play
for the Browns at all in 1985, and
Cleveland released him last June. He
went to camp with Seattle, which
later cut him.
With starting quarterback Danny
White on the injured reserve list
with a broken wrist, the Cowboys are
taking no chances. White will be out

“McDonald and Hackett havealo

Hackett had said before that Mt

“Pelluer has done well in everi

Flutie may play for Bears Sunday
Sits.
Will I
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) —Quar
terback Doug Flutie was activated by
the Chicago Bears Tuesday but
Coach Mike Ditka would not reveal
who will start at quarterback Sunday
against Tampa Bay.
“We have four quarterbacks, and
one, Jim McMahon, will not play,”
said Ditka in the aftermath of Mon
day night’s 20-17 NFL loss to the Los
Angeles Rams.
McMahon definitely has been
ruled out this week because of his
shoulder problems.
To make room for Flutie, the
Bears released wide receiver Clay
Pickering, who they plan on signing
to a future contract.
While Ditka would not commit
himself as to the starting quar
terback, he did say that if running
back Walter Payton is unable to start,
Thomas Sanders would replace Pay-
ton.
Payton injured the big toe of his
right foot in the third quarter against
the Rams. Sanders replaced Payton
and scored touchdowns on runs of
10 and 34 yards to put the Bears
ahead 17-10.
But Los Angeles came back to tie
the game on a 65-yard touchdown
pass from Steve Dils to Ron Brown
and won on Mike Lansford’s 50-yard
field with four seconds to play.
“We had our opportunities but
didn’t capitalize on them,” said
Ditka. “Give the Rams credit. They
drove when they had to and kicked a
50-yard field goal.”

Harris recovered two Houston
fumbles and made three tackles be

Coach David McWilliams said of

Thurman, “When he caught

neck. But a mistake is not a

Judge tags gag order 51
on DA, Mats lawyer p 1
HOUS I ON (AP)— Fhejudge After denying it at firs
HOUSTON (AP) — Thejudge
presiding over assault cases
against two New York Mets play
ers issued a gag order after a
prosecutor and a defense attor
ney called each other a liar.
“I felt the time had come for
me to intervene,” State District
Judge Joe Kegans said Monday.
She ordered prosecutor Mike
Anderson and Dick DeGuerin,
the attorney for pitcher Ron Dar
ling and second baseman Tim
Teufel, not to discuss the case
with reporters.
Her action came after Ander
son and DeGuerin called each
other a liar last week on the sub
ject of whether the defense attor
ney solicited a plea bargain.
After denying it at first, De
Guerin subsequently acknowl
edged contacting the prosecutor
to find out about rumors that An
derson might be willing to offer
the Mets players a lesser sentence
if they would plead guilty or no
contest.
A Jan. 26 trial date has been set
to let jurors decide if Darling and
Teufel assaulted two off-duty
Houston police officers outside
Cooler’s nightclub on July 19.
The two players pleaded inno
cent to a charge of aggravated as
sault on a police officer, a third-
degree felony that carries a maxi
mum 10-year term and $5,000 in
fines.
