Landry says Cowboys need offensive help IRVING (AP) — Dallas Coach Tom Landry says the Cowboys have never been so ill-prepared offen sively to start an NFL regular season in the 27-year history of the team. “We worked hard during camp but we’re not ready to start the year on offense,” Landry said after the Houston Oilers downed the Cow boys 18-13 Saturday night. Dallas scored only three touch downs in a 1-3 preseason, the lowest total in the club’s history. Paul Mc Donald’s 19-yard scoring pass to Robert Lavette against the Oilers was Dallas’ only touchdown pass in four exhibition games. Landry said the absence of run ning back Herschel Walker helped to contribute to Dallas’ poor training camp record. Walker missed every preseason game with a knee injury but is expected to play on Sunday against St. Louis. “If we had all our guns this pre season we wouldn’t be looking at this type of a situation,” Landry said. “We just have to get ready for St. Louis. They beat the (Chicago) Bears so we’ll have to be ready.” Houston finished the preseason with a 2-2 record. The Oilers recently found the missing Governor’s Cup and now they get to keep the symbol of Texas professional football supremacy an other year. The Oilers used three field goals by Tony Zendejas to beat the Cow boys for only the sixth victory in 21 decisions in the exhibition series. “It’s always nice to end the presea son with a victory over the Cow boys,” said Oilers’ Coach Jerry Glan- ville. “I thought we played really good defense. Our offense still needs some work,” he said. “If we stay healthy, I think we’ll be exciting. I think the city of Houston will be proud of us.” The Oilers open at home Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The loss was a costly one for the Cowboys who lost defensive end Robert Smith with a broken arm. Houston wide receiver Drew Hill suffered a twisted ankle. Allen Pinkett scored Houston’s only touchdown on an 11-yard run. “That was important to me,” Pin kett said. “You don’t like to get an opportunity this way (running back Mike Rozier’s absence) but when you do get an opportunity you need to take advantage of it. I think we’re going to be a really good football team.” As for Dallas, Walker promised to be at full speed for the Cardinals. “I’ll be ready to play, I feel sure,” Walker said. “I have confidence my knee will be OK.” Dallas quarterback Danny White, who has had a poor preseason, said, “Believe it or not, I feel we will be a good team. It may not have been evi dent by the way we have per formed.” Dunne pitches Pirates to 4-3 win over Astros HOUSTON (AP) — If baseball had a Rookie-of-the-Year award for E itchers, Mike Dunne would be the est choice, according to Pittsburgh Manager Jim Leyland. “If he’s not the Rookie-of-the- Year pitcher, then something’s wrong,” Leyland said after Dunne pitched the Pirates over the Houston Astros 4-3 Sunday. The victory gave Dunne a 10-5 re cord and the most wins by a rookie pitcher in the National League. Joe Magrane of St. Louis is second with a 7-6 record. Dunne went TVs innings and gave up three runs. He won for the sev enth time in his last eight decisions. “It’s not all me. It’s the defense and the way the team seems to play well when I’m pitching,” Dunne said. Rookie second baseman Jose Lind had three hits and made a game-sav ing play for the final out. With run ners on second and third, he went Fielded Alan Ashby’s grounder be hind second base and threw him out. “When the ball first came off the bat, I didn’t think he had a chance to get it,” Pirates catcher Mike LaVal- liere said. “I thought the ball was in center field and two runs would score and we would lose. I was just hoping he could knock it down, but then I saw him gun it and the game was over.” Jim Cott relieved Dunne and fin ished for his seventh save. Manny Hernandez, 0-2, took the loss. He went 5% innings and al lowed three runs on five hits. The Pirates took a 1-0 lead when R.J. Reynolds doubled with two outs and LaValliere singled. Rangers’ Valentine takes blame for a poor season ARLINGTON (AP) —Texas Rangers Manager Bobby Valentine says he’s willing to shoulder the blame for the errors that led to his team’s season of disappointment. “I got a lot of credit when some of the guys had good years last year, so I should get most of the blame when they have a bad year,” he said Satur day. The Rangers are near the bottom of the American League West, and Valentine said that’s because of mis takes he made in leadership. Specifically, Valentine said he mistakenly thought the club had enough talent to overcome its 1-10 start and win the AL West, causing doubt in his leadership to spread when the losing continued. He said he was wrong about not trying to speed up the motions of Rangers' pitchers in an effort to re duce opponents’ stolen bases and didn’t do enough to cut down on the club’s walks and errors. Valentine also blasted his hand ling of Don Slaught, who started the season as a regular catcher but has been reduced to pinch-hitting, part- time duty as a designated hitter and occasional use behind the plate. “The talent is better than 10 games below .500,” Valentine said. “That points to me. I don’t think I’ve done the job I should have. I’m not playing the martyr, but things went awry this year, and I hope I learn from them.” Valetine delivered his self-crit icism Saturday in a meeting with en- eral manager Tom Grieve, owner Eddie Chiles and president Mike Stone. Valentine later discussed the mistakes with reporters. CLASSICAL PIANO LESSONS individual Instruction RUTHERFORD PIANA STUDIO 822-2242 (E.N.
