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.
