Lady Ags take 2nd
in weekend tourney
By Doug Hall
Sports Writer „
For the second time in as many
weekend tournaments, the Texas
A&M women’s basketball team
made a strong showing, but came
up with the second-place trophy.
Last weekend, it was the Ne
braska Cornhuskers who de
feated the Lady Aggies 83-79 in
their own Converse-Hampton
Inn tournament. This weekend
the spoiler was No.7- ranked Cali
fornia State-Long Beach which
outdistanced the Lady Aggies 97-
71 in the championship game of
the Long Beach Dial Classic.
The Lady Aggies (3-4), who
defeated Montana State Friday
night by the score of 61-43,
opened the game with a strong
first half Saturday night, taking
the lead by as many as 10 points
on two occasions.
Leading the way for the Aggies
were Paula Crutcher, 18 points
and four rebounds, Donna
Roper, 12 points and four re
bounds, and Lisa Jordan who fin
ished with 11 points and a game-
high 15 rebounds.
The Lady Aggies’ 10-point
lead, however, vanished quickly at
the hands of strong play by the
49’ers senior forward Cindy
Brown, 23 points and 13 re
bounds, and sophomore guard
Penny Toler, 25 points and four
rebounds.
Roper, the Aggies’ sophomore
spark plug, was the only Aggie
named to the all-tournament
team. Brown was the tourna
ment’s most valuable player.

IRVING (AP) — Quarterback
I Matt Cavanaugh, starting for the
second time this season, threw two
touchdown passes to Kenny Jackson,
including the game-winner with 3
minutes and 57 seconds to play, giv
ing Philadelphia a 23-21 victory over
Dallas on Sunday and knocking the
Cowboys out of NFL playoff conten-
j tion.
The Eagles, who won their First
NFC East division game, are 5-9-1.
Dallas dropped to 7-8 and saw the
end of its streak of 20 consecutive
winning seasons, the longest such ac
tive streak in professional sports. It’s
only the third time in 20 years Dallas
failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Cowboys running back Herschel
Walker ran 84 yards for a touch
down, caught a scoring pass for 84
yards, and compiled a club-record
292 combined yards, rushing and re
ceiving.
Dallas led 21-16 with 5:01 to play
after Walker caught a slant-in pass
from Steve Pelluer and outraced the
Eagles’ secondary for a touchdown.
Cavanaugh, filling in because
Randall Cunningham had a bruised
thumb, took the Eagles 57 yards in
two plays. Tight end John Spagnola
caught a 26-yard pass. Jackson then
out-jumped defender Ron Fellows
on the next play for the touchdown.
The Cowboys owned a 7-6 half
time lead forged on Walker’s 84-
yard touchdown run — longest in
the NFL this year — in the first pe
riod.
The Eagles, who scored on field
goals of 26 and 50 yards by Paul Mc-
Fadden in the first half, seized a 13-7
lead in the third quarter. Linebacker
Jody Schulz blocked Mike Saxon’s
punt at the Dallas 11 and Cavanaugh
flipped an 8-yard scoring pass to
Jackson three plays later.
Dallas retaliated on the final play
of the third period with Pelluer’s 30-
yard touchdown pass to Mike
Renfro.
Walker had 170 yards receiving
on nine receptions and rushed six
times for 122 yards. The old club re
cord for combined yardage was 254
yards set by Tony Dorsett in 1978.
Cavanaugh hit rookie fullback
Andrew Toney with a 47-yard pass
to set up McFadden’s 26-yard field
goal, giving the Eagles a 3-0 early
first period lead.
Dallas went 99 yards in three plays
to take the lead after a 38-yard punt
by John Teltschik was killed at the
Cowboys’ 1-yard line.
Walker’s 84-yard run gave him 12
rushing touchdowns for the year to
tie Tony Dorsett’s team record. The
run tied Dorsett for second place in
the Dallas record books.
McFadden’s 50-yard field goal in
the second period broke a string of
eight straight misses over 40 yards.
He hit a third field goal from 40
yards out in the third period to give
the Eagles a 16-14 lead.
Texas A&M got some crucial free-
throw shooting from Todd Hollo
way and a 20-point performance
from Winston Crite to edge the Ne
braska Cornhuskers 66-64 Sunday
before 2,657 at G. Rollie White Col
iseum.
The game started out like it was
going to be a Maroon and White
massacre with A&M (4-1) jumping to
a 14-1 lead early in the first half. But
all good things came to an end for
the Aggies as Nebraska (2-3) scraped
its way back to take the lead 27-26
with 2 minutes, 54 seconds left in the
first half.
After A&M led 31-29 at halftime,
the two teams came out in the sec
ond half and set the stage for the
Crite and Brian Carr show.
Act I belonged to Crite, who
pumped in eight straight points to
open up a 41-35 margin for A&M.
But Act II belonged to the sharp
shooter Carr, who kept the Corn
huskers in the game with three-point
bombs and timely free throws down
the stretch.
Nebraska, however, was just about
limited to only one shot every time
down the court as the Aggies
amassed 44 rebounds (21 offensive)
compared to the Cornhuskers’ 27 to
tal rebounds (10 offensive).
A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf was
impressed with the performance of
two out of the three teams on the
floor.
“We played well, and they played
well,” he said. “Usually, the playing
isn’t as good as the officiating, but
we exceeded them this time.”
Although the Aggies were a much
bigger squad than Nebraska, A&M
couldn’t shake the pesty Cornhusk
ers.
“We never really felt safe out
there as long as they had those
shooters,” Crite said.
The Aggies weren’t safe until Hol
loway hit four straight free throws to
give A&M a 64-60 lead with 1:07 left
in the game. A&M’s Keron Graves
scored the final two points of the
game to secure the victory for the
Aggies with two free throws coming
at the :45 mark.
Metcalf was pleased to get out of
G. Rollie White with a win against a
team that was much quicker than his
Aggie squad.
“They (Nebraska) can get up and
down the floor as good as any team
we’ve played,” he said. “It wasn’t a
dogfight. It was more of a catfight —
we got scratched, but we didn’t get
bitten.”
A&M finished the game with a
40.7 field goal percentage but man
aged a 71.4 percentage at the free-
throw line.
