\ggie swim teams rally past Frogs
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
Jit wasn’t quite as lop-sided as
|e football game, but the Texas
cM swim teams didn’t have too
any difficulties beating Texas
aristian on Saturday.
|And unlike the football team,
swim teams had to rally from
l-point deficits to claim their
Ins.
ITCU took a 28-0 lead into the
lial meet at P.L. Downs Natato-
im because A&M doesn’t have
ly divers for that competition,
lit the 12th-ranked Aggie
[mien easily won 126-85.
[On the men’s side, the final re
lit was a little bit closer, 1 13-95,
[hough Coach Mel Nash said he
ksn’t sure about the chances for
i No. 16 men’s team.
|“I had figured it out before-
|nd,” Nash said, “and I calcu-
[ed it would take 106 points for
jto win. Then I figured a good,
(lid conservative performance
j us and I got 98 points.
[“So I sat my swimmers down
|d told them they had a job
lead of them, but just take it one
m at a time. And they really
(me through.”
[Among the top performances
Vh cited was Mike Varozza’s
In in the 50-yard freestyle, de-
lite the fact that Varozza was
pk during the meet. Cam
tCown won the 200 individual
bdley in one minute, 56.88 sec-
ids — one second off his life-
ne best.
[Other A&M men’s wins were
|ul Weber in the 200 freestyle
Id Chris Emig in the 200 back-
roke.

butterfly race at P.L. Downs Natatorium on Sat
urday. The Aggies handily defeated TCU.
In the men’s 400 medley relay,
David Kohel had a strong finish
to come back from a one-half
body-length lead by TCU to
notch the victory.
The A&M women’s team re
ceived double wins from Jennifer
Newcomb, Stephanie Langham
and Michelle Chow en route to its
victory.
Newcomb won the 1,000 free
style and the 200 butterfly events,
Langham took the 200 individual
medley and 200 backstroke races,
while Chow added the 100 and 50
freestyle events.
Langham’s 2:06.81 in the 200
backstroke broke the school re
cord of 2:07.16 that she set two
weeks ago against SMU.
The women likewise were be
hind going into the final leg of
the medley relay, but Susan Hab
ermas was able to bring the Ag
gies the victory. Habermas also
won the 200 freestyle and took
second in the 200 butterfly.
Nash said he also was pleased
with strong second- and third-
place showings by the Aggies.
Roxanne Nelson took second in
the 500 freestyle and third in the
1,000 freestyle events, while Gin
ger Hurley’s time of 2:24.05 in
the 200 breaststroke was a per
sonal best.
“Our women are feisty compet
itors,” Nash said. “They’re a
lovely group of young ladies, but
they’re extremely competitive.
When they get in the water they
mean business.”
’Skins rout Dallas,
take 3-game lead
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jay Sch-
roeder threw for 230 yards and two
touchdowns in the first half Sunday
as the Washington Redskins built a
34-0 lead en route to a 41-14 victory
over the Dallas Cowboys.
The Redskins scored on six of
their eight first-half possessions
while limiting the Cowboys to 43 to
tal yards. Dallas, which beat Wash
ington 30-6 earlier this season, had
never before surrendered more
than 31 points in one half.
The victory kept Washington, 10-
2, in a first place tie with the New
York Giants in the NFC East.
Dallas, 7-5, trails the leaders by
three games with four to play. The
Cowboys got second-half touch
downs from Herschel Walker and
Robert Lavette, the latter coming on
an 8-yard pass from backup quar
terback Reggie Collier with four
minutes left.
Schroeder, who improved his re
cord as a starter in the NFL to 14-3,
finished the game completing 16 of
31 passes for 325 yards. His favorite
target was Gary Clark, who had
seven catches for 117 yards and a
touchdown by halftime.
Dallas started the game by fum
bling away the opening kickoff.
Three plays after Washington’s
Barry Wilburn recovered Darryl
Clack’s fumble at the Cowboy 30,
George Rogers bulled up the middle
for a 14-yard touchdown and the
rout was on.
The Redskins made it 14-0 later in
the first quarter when Schroeder
tossed a 71-yard touchdown pass to
tight end Clint Didier. Entering the
game, the Cowboys had given up
only six first-quarter points all sea-
Washington’s next two posses
sions ended with Max Zendejas’ field
goals, and the score became 27-0
three minutes before the half on a
22-yard scoring run by Kelvin Bry
ant.
The Washington defense, which
entered the game ranked 13th
among 14 NFC teams, registered
four sacks for 40 yards before the
half while limiting Dallas running
back Tony Dorsett to 3 yards on 8

didn’t go for two,” Sherrill
[“We messed up on the kick.”
Ight end Rod Bernstine, who
the plays on extra-point tries,
said he called the wrong play.
“I’m supposed to call ‘huddle’ or
‘shift’ and I called ‘huddle’ which
means we go for two,” Bernstine
said. “I was confused.”
Despite expressing outrage at last
year’s onside kick, Wacker said he
didn’t think the two-point attempt
was deliberate.
“They (A&M) played with class to
day,” he said. “There were no cheap
shots out there.”
A&M’s domination was so com
plete that TCU didn’t even get a first
down until late in the second quarter
when backup quarterback Ronald
Jiles scampered for a 26-yard gain
on his first play from scrimmage.
That was also the first time TCU ad
vanced the ball into Aggie territory.
It would not do that again until early
in the fourth quarter.
Perhaps A&M linebacker Todd
Howard said it best: “When I read
the paper the next day and find out
that Oklahoma or Nebraska beat
someone by 70 points I like to think
they totally dominated the game.
Maybe now people will look at us
and say that A&M can dominate
people too.”
AGGIE NOTES . . . Ford suffered a
broken leg late in the fourth quarter.
One more record: The 59,126
spectators in attendance Saturday
was the largest ever to see an A&M-
TCU game in Kyle Field.
Bernstine, with 58 catches this
season, is near the A&M season re
cord of 60 held by Dude McLean
(1965).
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s
Warren Moon threw three touch
down passes, including two during a
21-point surge in a span of less than
four minutes, to lead the Oilers to a
31-17 victory over Indianapolis in an
NFL game Sunday.
The victory avenged a 34-16 loss
to the Colts in the final game of the
1985 season and improved the Oil
ers’ record to 3-9. The Colts
dropped to 0-12 for the season.
Houston missed several scoring
opportunities in the first half, but.
led 10-3 at the half to set the stage
for their third-period charge.
The Oilers broke the game open
on a 19-yard run by Mike Rozier,
and Moon’s touchdown passes of 35
yards to Ray Wallace and 8 yards to
Drew Hill in a span of 3:42 in the
third quarter.
The Houston defense roughed up
Colts quarterback Jack Trudeau,
who left the game with a bruised
shoulder late in the third quarter
and did not return. He completed 9
of 21 passes for 51 yards.
Trudeau was replaced Blair Kiel,
who threw a 16-yard scoring pass to
rookie Bill Brooks with 36 seconds
left in the game and added a 37-yard
scoring toss to Brooks as time ran
out.
The Oilers dominated the game
from the start. They outgained the
Colts 261-53 in total yards in the first
half, but managed only a seven-
point lead on Tony Zendejas’ 34-
yard field goal and Moon’s 4-yard
pass to rookie Allen Pinkett.
Houston lost possession on its first
two drives of the game when Duane
Bickett intercepted Moon’s first pass
and Eugene Daniel recovered a fum
ble by Rozier at the Houston 24.
Dean Biasucci kicked a 37-yard
field goal for the Colts following
Daniel’s recovery.
