Texas 77843 Oiler replacements win 2nd in a row A* CLEVELAND (AP) — Herman Hunter rushed for 121 yards on 28 carries in 2 l A> quarters Sunday against a Cleveland defensive line that included a 12-year NFL veteran and a former No. 1 draft pick, and the Houston Oilers beat the Browns 15-10. The victory in the strike replace ment game was the second straight on the road for Houston, whose reg ular team hadn’t won two consec utive road games since 1981. The Oilers, at 3-1 off to their best start since 1979, took a 7-3 halftime lead when Brent Pease threw a 15- yard scoring pass to closely guarded Keith McDonald. Houston dominated the line of scrimmage in the half, holding the ball .for more than 20 minutes, al though Cleveland had 12-year vet eran Carl Hairston and former first- round Pittsburgh draft pick Darryl Sims on its defensive line. Hunter, a former Philadelphia and Detroit running back who re placed the injured Andrew Jackson in the second quarter, helped the Oilers continue their domination of the ball in the third period, but Houston managed only two field goals by John Diettrich in the period to go up 13-3. In the fourth quarter, the Browns, 2-2, abandoned a frustrated running Jesse Baker on the Browns’ next pos session tor a safety. Former A&M safety Domingo Bryant then inter cepted Christensen for the second time with 1:04 to go to seal it. Cleveland had won its last six games against the Oilers. Dean en’s tt TCA 1 eekenc game them that had been successful for a week earlier. Jeff Chris tensen responded with passes of 20, 23 and 34 yards to Perry Kemp to set up a five-yard touchdown pass to Larry Mason that got Cleveland within three with 11:12 to play. Christensen, however, was tackled in the end zone by nine-year veteran The Browns’ striking players did not picket the game, choosing in stead to hold a free clinic across town at John Carroll University. A crowd of 38,927 attended the game, representing more than half of the 73,000 who had originally bought tickets. A handful of fans carried pickets outside Cleveland Stadium, hearing such slogans as “Fans On Strike Against Owners and Players.” Striking NBC workers also pick eted outside. The Oilers had won 40-10 at Denver a week earlier behind 102 yards rushing by Jackson, who left Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle midway through the second quarter and did not return. g to ( im Tri Hunter more than picked up slack on offense, however, ; 1 louston shut down the Browns feme with a veteran defensive that included Baker, third-year Doug Smith and fourth-year Charles Martin.

Texas St id Cowboys overpower Eagles for 41-22 win od 2-0 Never a duff moment. IRVING (AP) — Kelvin Edwards ran a reverse 62 yards for a touch down on Dallas’ first play Sunday and the replacement Cowboys rolled to a 41-22 National Fooball League victory over the outmanned Phila delphia Eagles before 40,622 fans who booed two of their heroes. The Cowboys, 22-point favorites, got a standing ovation in pregame introductions as a group but the fans turned nasty when veterans Tony Dorsett and Danny White, who crossed the picket line two weeks ago but did not play last week, entered the game in the second half with Dallas leading 27-10. Dorsett, who said before the game he didn’t want any of his statistics to count, was booed after a 10-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. White heard derisive cheers when he was sacked. Both teams entered Texas Sta dium with police escorts before 8:30 The announced crowd was the largest so far in the two weekends of NFL replacement games. a.m., U/2 hours before picket lines formed. Dallas player representative Doug Cosbie said, “This is not pro football. Anybody who went to the Okla- homa-Texas game knows Oklahoma could beat either one of these teams. I’d rather see the fans give S25 to charity and get a tax write-off.” The striking Cowboys then went on a picnic. Dallas is 3-1 after its home opener which was delayed when the third regular season game was cancelled by the strike. The Eagles are 1-3. The Cowboys scored three touch downs in the first period on Ed wards’ run, Alvin Blount’s eight- yard scoring run, and Kevin Swee ney’s 77-yard touchdown pass to Cornell Burbage. Luis Zendejas kicked field goals of 44 and 50 yards for Dallas and Blount also scored on a one-yard run. The Eagles’ Scott Tinsley threw scoring passes of 62 yards to Kevin Bowman, and 13 yams each to Mike Siano and Topper Clemons. After Edwards’ touchdown, the Cow'boys struck two minutes later for another score after Bruce Liv- ington blocked Dave Edwards’ punt and the ball rolled out of bounas on the Philadelphia 13.

Attendance improves in 2nd week of non-union games DALE From the Associated Press The unusual became the usual be cause of the strange circumstances in the National Football League. The second week of replacement football saw the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins, two of the wea kest defensive teams in ordinary games, post shutouts. It saw Hous ton, which rarely wins on the road, get its second straight victory as a vis itor. It saw Tony Dorsett and Danny White, longtime Texas heroes, booed by 40,622, the largest crowd for any replacement game so far. The lowest attendance was 9,123 at Giants Stadium; there were two lower in the first week. Negotiations disintegrated Sun day, but replacement players weren’t concerning themselves with what the striking regulars were doing or when they might be back. The fill- ins were too busy, uh, filling in. COLTS 6, JETS 0 The Colts got their first shutout since moving from Baltimore, where they last turned the trick in 1976 against the Jets. Steve Jordan kicked field goals of 35 and 25 yards and rookie Bryant Jones made two of the three Colts pass interceptions. DOLPHINS 42, CHIEFS 0 The 25,867 fans who attended the regular-season debut in 74,993-seat Joe Robbie Stadium enjoyed the ef forts of the fill-ins. They also chan ted “Stay on strike, stay on strike,” to the regulars picketing outside. Dolphins owner Joe Robbie was all smiles as the rain-drenched fans turned to his private box and cheered when the score reached 35- 0. “It’s ironic that after spending more than $100 million to build a new stadium, I would have to cross a picket line manned by my own play ers to see the game,” Robbie said. Safety Liffort Hobley, the one union member to cross the picket line, returned a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown. Robert Parker did the same thing for 59 yards. BEARS 27, VIKINGS 17 Coach Mike Ditka is used to over powering defense from his Bears. But 20 sacks in two weeks? “That will get you in the Guinness Book of Records, somewhere,” Ditka said. Originally, 66,030 tickets were sold for the game, leaving more than 33,000 tickets turned back or unused. LIONS 19, PACKERS 16 Detroit got its first victory of the season when Mike Prindle kicked a 31-yard field goal with 2:34 left in overtime before 35,779. It was the fourth field goal for Prindle, who had missed a 42-yarder with 10 min utes to go in overtime. Green Bay’s Max Zendejas kicked a 45-yard field goal as time expired to tie the game 16-16. the ground, led by Mike LeBlanc with 146. The smallest home crowd in 26 years, 11,878, saw New England's third consecutive rainy home game. CHARGERS 17, BUGS 13 The rain in Tampa didn’t stop 23,873 from attending and being disappointed as quarterback Rick Neuheisel came off the bench and directed three second-half scoring drives for San Diego. CARDINALS 24, SAINTS 19 With 30 players who crossed picket lines on the field at St. Louis, the Cardinals overcame a 368-143 total yardage deficit. Veteran Leon ard Smith and replacement player Mark Jackson returned fumbles by Mark Ingram for touchdowns. Saints replacement running back Dwight Beverly rushed for 139 yards on 35 carries, including touch down runs of three and five yards. RAMS 31, STEELERS 21 A crowd of 20,218 saw the Rams win their first game. Charles White, who has battled cocaine dependency problems during his seven NFL sea sons and was charged earlier this year with being under the influence of a controlled substance, rushed for 166 yards and scored one touch down. It was the best NFL outing ever for the 1979 Heisman Trophy winner. They might have gotten ill San Francisco Coach Bill Vais* used most of his veteranssjOTt?
