A&M volleyballers
go 2-3 in tourney
By Hal L. Hammons
Assistant Sports Editor
The Texas A&M Lady Aggies
won two games out of five this week
end in Fullerton, Ca. at the Titan-
Mizuno Invitational.
The Lady Aggies fell to 3-7 for
the season.
Friday, A&M opened the tourna
ment with a victory over Santa Clara
15-7, 12-15, 15-4. They fell to No. 16
Long Beach State 15-3, 15-9 and
Eastern Washington 16-14, 15-7 in
games later in the day.
Saturday’s action also began on a
high note for the Lady Aggies, as
they defeated Idaho 15-7, 15-13.
A&M’s final game of the tourna
ment saw Southwest Texas State
come from behind to win 7-15, 15-
11, 15-10.
Cheri Steensma led the Lady Ag
gie effort with a .413 attack percent
age and 53 kills in the tournament.
A&M Coach A1 Givens said Fri
day’s results could have been much
better if the team had been as cohe
sive as the next day.
Givens said, “Our effort against
Idaho and Southwest Texas State
was by far the best of the tourna
ment.
“It’s still a matter of us beating
ourselves rather than our opponents
beating us.
“If we do the little things right,
the rest will take care of itself.
“The next four or five matches
are critical for us and will set the
tempo for the rest of the season. We
need to regroup and prepare for
Sam Houston State Wednesday.”
Wednesday’s game with the Lady
Bearkats is at 7:30 p.m. at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
Parrish leads Rangers
to 8-2 win over Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Larry
Parrish tied a club record with his
30th home run of the season and
drove in three runs as the Texas
Rangers beat the California Angels
8-2 Sunday.
Parrish followed a one-out single
by Scott Fletcher with a drive over
the right-field fence off starter Jerry
Reuss, 4-3, equaling the 30 homers
hit by Jeff Burroughs in 1973 and
Pete Incaviglia last season.
Wally Joyner hit two home runs
off left-hander Paul Kilgus for the
Angels’ runs. Joyner homered with
one out in the first, and hit his 29th
home run in the third.
Kilgus was removed after the
third inning when he complained of
tightness in his pitching shoulder.
Jeff Russell, 5-4, blanked the Angels
for 3% innings for the victory with
relief help from Mitch Williams, who
earned his sixth save.
The Rangers scored in the third,
when Dave Meier singled off third
baseman Doug DeCinces’ glove,
moved to second on an infield
grounder, and scored on Fletcher’s
single.
Texas added two runs in the
eighth on Ruben Sierra’s sacrifice fly
and Parrish’s RBI single.

Oilers overcome early mistakes
to stun highly-touted Rams 20-16
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
quarterback Warren Moon threw
fourth-quarter touchdown passes of
3 yards to Jamie Williams and 59
yards to Ernest Givins Sunday, rally
ing the Oilers to a 20-16 victory over
the Los Angeles Rams.
Moon hit Givins with a short pass
over the middle, and the second-
year wide receiver cut back to his left
and sprinted into the end zone with
2:59 left in the game, giving Hous
ton its first lead.
The Oilers were right back in Los
Angeles territory moments. later,
when Eric Dickerson fumbled and
Houston’s Jeff Donaldson recov
ered. That set up a 19-yard field
goal by Tony Zendejas with 1:01 left
to play.
Keith Bostick intercepted his sec
ond pass of the game with 28 sec
onds remaining to kill Los Angeles’
final drive.
The Oilers, contained by the
Rams’ defense most of the game,
scored their first touchdown with
7:28 left when Moon hit Williams
with a 3-yard pass.
The Rams capitalized on Hous
ton’s first-half mistakes for a 13-3
lead on field goals of 28 and 44
yards by Mike Lansford and Kevin
Greene’s 25-yard interception re
turn.
Greene charged at Moon with
raised hands and batted Moon’s pass
attempt to Rozier into the air. He
juggled the ball on the run and ran
into the end zone untouched.
Greene also sacked Moon for a
15-yard loss and tackled Rozier for a
4-yard loss in the first half.
Lansford, who had a four field
goal performance against New Or
leans last season, added a 47-yarder
in the third period.
The Oilers heard boos in the sec
ond quarter and finally got on the
scoreboard with a 44-yard Zendejas
field goal with 1:02 remaining in the
half.
But the Houston offense started
to click in the fourth quarter.
Lomax leads Cards in late surge
to defeat Pokes in opening game
ST. LOUIS (AP) — For Neil Lo
max, a St. Louis Cardinals quar
terback who’s had more downs than
ups in recent years, the comeback
victory was almost worth the wait.
“This is the best feeling I’ve expe
rienced in the last two years,” Lomax
said after steering St. Louis from be
hind in the final two minutes Sunday
to a 24-13 victory over the Dallas
Cowboys. “It’s a beauty to beat Dallas
the way we did.”
Lomax, who in 1984 passed for
4,614 yards and 28 touchdowns,
pierced Dallas’ once-proud defense
for two scores in a span of 65 sec
onds just before the finish.
“I told Neil, ‘Let’s do it, let’s go
long,’ ” said Roy Green, who hauled
in a 16-yarder from the quarterback
with 1:58 to go and a 22-yarder with
53 seconds left. “I got a little excited.
It felt good, it really did.”
Fullback Earl Ferrell’s 15-yard
scoring run put the icing on the cake
for St. Louis with 19 seconds to go
after Bob Clasby recovered a Cow
boy fumble caused by Curtis Greer,
who had three quarterback sacks.
“I was just trying to kill the clock,”
said Ferrell, whose touchdown was
his first in two years. “They (Cow
boys) were the ones calling the
timeouts. I was just trying to make
the last play last.”
Lomax’s two scoring passes and
Ferrell’s run rallied the Cardinals
from a 13-3 deficit, with the go-
ahead score coming after Dallas just
missed an important first down in
trying to use up the clock.
“We gave it away . . . we just didn’t
do the job. When we had to score the
points, we couldn’t do it,” said Cow
boys Coach Tom Landry. “It’s al
ways disappointing to lose, but
there’s not much you can do about it
when the game’s over.”
St. Louis Coach Gene Stallings, a
former Dallas assistant, revelled in
his first victory over Landry and the
Cowboys in three tries.
“They worried me all the time
(during his tenure as Dallas de
fensive coach),” Stallings said of Lo
max and Green, the leaders of the
Cardinals’ comeback. “Now I’m glad
I’ve got them. We made some plays
today, and now we’re a little more
confident.”
It was St. Louis’ first victory in a
home opener since they defeated the
Atlanta Falcons 23-20 in 1975. Dal
las had won 21 of its 22 previous sea
son openers.
Quarterback Danny White, who
completed 20 of 32 passes for 256
yards, found Gordon Banks on a 20-
yarder to put the Cowboys ahead 13-
3 with 13:18 remaining.
But the Cardinals, after squander
ing an opportunity, went 50 yards in
four plays to draw close. Lomax
spotted Green to complete the 16-
yarder that made it 13-10 with 1:58
left.
St. Louis then moved 61 yards to;
go ahead 17-13. Lomax found
Stump Mitchell for a 25-yard gain
that set up Green’s go ahead recep
tion made tumbling into the corner
of the Cowboys’ end zone.
The Cardinals scored first on Jim
Gallery’s 23-yard field goal after Lo
max hit Green for a 44-yard gain on
the game’s first play. The Cowboys,
however, controlled play from that
point until the concluding minutes.
