Cowboys’ Walker suffers knee injury
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP)
— Dallas Cowboys’ running back
Herschel Walker will be sidelined
during Saturday’s NFL preseason
game in San Diego because of
strained ligaments in his right knee
and might miss several others, coach
Tom Landry said Monday.
“Herschel’s knee needs some rest.
He’s not definitely out of the San
Francisco game in two weeks but he
might miss the game,” Landry said.
“I’d say Herschel’s best chance to
play in his first preseason game is
when we come home.”
The Cowboys break their Thou
sand Oaks training camp after play
ing their second exhibition game, in
San Francisco Aug. 22. Their first
home exhibition game is Aug. 30
against the Los Angeles Raiders, fpl-
lowed by a Sept. 5 game against the
Houston Oilers at Texas Stadium in
Irving.
“Herschel strained the ligaments
in practice and he just needs to take
some time while those ligaments
toughen up,” Landry said. “He
worked awfully hard in the off-sea
son and feels he could use the rest.
There’s one thing about Herschel,
you know he will stay in good
shape.”
Landry had already announced
that Robert Lavette will start at run
ning back in Saturday’ game against
San Diego.
Veteran running back Tony Dor-
sett, who had surgery on both knees
to remove deposits in the off-season,
also will not play and is expected to
be on the bench for most of the four-
game exhibition season.
Walker’s sprain brings to 22 the
number of Cowboys watching from
the sidelines with injuries, including
wide receiver Mike Sherrard, who
was to have been the cornerstone of
the Cowboys’ offense. And veteran
Jeff coat says Dallas to change
image of being NFL’s nice guys
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP)
— Defensive end Jim Jeffcoat says
no more nice Dallas Cowboys.
“We’re starting something new
this year. We’re going to attack.
We’re going to be more aggressive.
We’re going to take more chances.
We’re going to be a lot tougher,” Jef
fcoat said.
The 1987 Cowboys, he said, are
going to resort more to muscle and
brawn than finesse and brains.
“This is a new era for the Dallas
Cowboys,” Jeffcoat said. “People
have always thought of the Cowboys
as a finesse team with a lot of cute
tricks.”
Jeffcoat says the 7-9 Cowboys
have lost a lot of respect in the NFL.
“We’re flat on the floor and now
we have to scrap back,” Jeffcoat said.
“Everybody, and I mean everybody,
has written us off.”
Jeffcoat likes the attitude of the
1985 World Champion Chicago
Bears and the 1986 World Cham
pion New York Giants.
“Do the Bears and Giants take
chances on defense?” Jeffcoat asks.
“You bet they do. You have to make
something happen.
“Instead of a get tough policy
we’re going to have a get rough pol
icy.”
He said the Cowboys have no
chance if the defense doesn’t bounce
back.
“The defense is the key to our sea
son,” he said. “We had to battle a lot
of injuries last year.”
Dallas was one of the worst pass
rush teams in the NFL last year and
failed to make the playoffs.
“Putting pressure on the quar
terback is fun and we’re going to put
some fun back into the game,” Jef
fcoat said. “We’re not going to sit
back in the flex defense all the time.
We have different blitzes and things
we’re going to try on first down.”
Despite an ankle injury that lim
ited his mobility the second half of
the season, Jeffcoat led the team in
quarterback traps last year.
“Jim should be improved this
year,” Coach Tom Landry said. “His
sprained ankle kept him from pier
forming like he should. He’s a hard
worker and gives you everything
he’s got. And he produces traps.”
Jeffcoat holds the club record for
most sacks in a game, trapping Joe
Theismann five times in a 1985 vic
tory over Washington.
“Jim has had an excellent training
camp,” says defensive coordinator
Ernie Stautner. “He’s quicker and a
little bigger. I think he’ll have a tre
mendous season.”
Ueberroth’s bat policy drawing
complaints from team managers
NEW YORK (AP) — Commis
sioner Peter Ueberroth’s new bat
policy is aimed at insuring that no
one uses an illegal bat. But managers
suggest is may simply be a new tool
to distract the game’s best hitters.
Baseball’s checkup on doctored
bats began Friday and allows man
agers to ask the chief of the umpir
ing crew to impound one bat per
game from the opposing team.
In announcing the illegal-bat pol
icy Thursday, Ueberroth said his of
fice had received “indications” that
some players were using illegal bats.
The commissioner’s office declined
to reveal what kind of evidence it
had, how it was obtained or which
players were involved.
“I know if I was a player and I had
a bat I liked, and they wanted to con
fiscate it, I’d say no,” Atlanta Man
ager Chuck Tanner said. “That’s my
game bat. That’s my living.”
Not one bat was confiscated in Fri
day’s 13 games, in which 28 home
runs were hit.
On Saturday night in Pittsburgh,
however, Montreal Manager Buck
Rodgers and Pittsburgh Manager
Jim Leyland both challenged bats
used to hit home runs.
RJ. Reynolds hit a two-run homer
in the fourth inning and the umpires

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Danny Manning, Rex Chapman
and Willie Anderson each scored
11 points to lead a balanced effort
as the United States beat Argen
tina 85-58 Monday in men’s bas
ketball at the Pan American
Games.
Seven-foot-1 center David
Robinson of Navy finished with
10 points and was the only other
double-figure scorer for the
United States which had all 12
players score at least four points.
Chapman, a 6-5 guard from
Kentucky, and Anderson, a 6-7
swingman from Georgia, had
seven and five points, respec
tively, in the first half to lead the
United States to a 42-34 halftime
advantage.
The victory was the second in
as many days for the United
States which has a 31-game win
ning streak in Pam Am competi
tion dating to 1971.
Argentina, 0-1, beat the United
States 74-70 last year in the
World Championships, but this
team was missing four players
from that team because of a sal
ary dispute.

complied with Rodgers’ request to
impound the bat. Raines hit a two-
run homer in the sixth, bringing out
Leyland with the same request.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa
football Coach Hayden Fry on Mon
day assailed a newspaper for taking
a “cheap shot” at him by running a
story on a report that said he was
fired at Southern Methodist Univer
sity in 1972 because of NCAA rules
violations.
While never saying flatly there
were no infractions at SMU during
his tenure, Fry said he was “infu
riated” by the story and couldn’t un
derstand why a reporter would
bring up something that happened
15 years and has since been resolved.
The Des Moines Register on Sat
urday published excerpts of a report
by a committee of United Methodist
Church bishops who said the Faculty
Athletic Council at SMU demanded
that university President Paul Har
din dismiss Fry because the council
had “uncovered widespread major
violations of NCAA rules in the foot
ball program.”
Fry lashed out at the newspaper
when asked about the story at a news
conference during the Hawkeyes’
annual media day activities.
“That journalism that came out
this weekend was uncalled for,” he
said. “To report on something 15
years ago, something that was com
pletely setded by the NCAA, which
interviewed me after I left there.
Since that time, there have been
three investigations, penalties as
sessed. If that’s still news . . .
“It’s just very, very hard for me to
digest that with any good taste in my
is now it’ll just depend on the mood
of the manager that day.”
Last Thursday night, Johnson’s
mood was not too good.
Umpires confiscated New York
third baseman Howard Johnson’s
bat after he hit his 27th home run
for the Mets against Chicago. It was
x-rayed and found to be legal.
Last week, after Johnson hom-
ered in St. Louis, Cardinals Manager
Whitey Herzog claimed Johnson’s
bat was illegal — and still does.
Herzog and Coach Red Shoen-
dienst told reporters in Philadelphia
Sunday that they had earlier X-
rayed one of Johnson’s bat earlier
this year and said the X-ray showed
there was something besides wood
inside.
“You could see it plain as day.”
Schoendienst said. “It’s a line about
five inches long, as big as your fin
ger.”
Davey Johnson said Herzog’s ac
cusations may lead to similar allega
tions against the Cardinals.
“Herzog better have plenty of bats
for Jack Clark on the road,” he said.
“I’m sure every opposing manager is
going to do it to his team. We kind of
respect each other’s job, but if some
body’s going to stir something up,
I’m going to retaliate.”
mouth going into the season at this
point when it was 15 years ago.
“No accusation was made against
me or my staff by the president or
athletic committee at SMU.”
Fry was the football coach at SMU
from 1962-72. Following his dis
missal, he went to North Texas State
for five years, then took the Iowa job
in late 1978.
The Iowa coach said he never was
told why he was fired by SMU, which
was 7-4 in his final season, and after
a while he didn’t care to find out be
cause he had better jobs at North
Texas and Iowa.
However, Fry did say he was upset
with the way SMU officials handled
his firing.
“When you finish half a game out
of the championship, you’re five
points away from being 9-2, you lead
the Southwest Conference in total
defense, you’re second by two yards
in total offense, you have practically
all the kids coming back the next
year, for the first time you have an
excellent staff, then you get fired,”
Fry recounted.
“You have two years remaining on
your contract, you’re not told why
you’re fired, you don’t get a penny
of the remaining two years on your
contract, they cut you and your staff
off the insurance for you and your
families and don’t ever tell you —
those are the things I care about.”
But as far as actually firing him,
Fry said the school had that right.
“I’ve always believed that if a
school hires you, they have the right
to fire you,” he said.
