Replacement players
looking for openings
IRVING (AP) — Free agents who
came to be called “Nowboys” and
“Redscabs” will Find out soon if their
NFL careers will end in videotape
memories or continue with a spot
among the regulars.
For Washington Redskins line
backer Bobby Curtis, it comes down
to a pro football job or a return to
the classroom at Savannah State Col
lege in Georgia.
“I’m just going to take it one day
at a time, but winning tonight makes
it easier to wait,” Curtis said Mon
day. “We’ve just been having a whole
lot of fun and this really caps it off.”
Curtis, like others on the replace
ment teams that took over when reg
ular players staged a 24-day strike,
said, “I’m just thankful I got the op
portunity to play. I think we’ve all
tried to make the best of it.”
The sentiment was widespread
Monday night among those who had
crossed picket lines and will be al
lowed to stay, at least temporarily,
because the league has permitted the
teams to keep 85 players. Only 45 —
for the most part the returning strik
ers — will man the active rosters.
But many were optimistic at the
possibility of joining a regular team
somewhere in the league.
“I think we developed some good
friendships, and we had a lot of fun
just getting another chance to make
a team,” Dallas Cowboys quarterback
Kevin Sweeney said. “I think most of
the guys now are just hanging low,
waiting to see if they’re going to
make the team.
“It’s been an up-and-down thing
all along — waiting to see if they
were going to strike, then waiting to
see if the strike was ending,” he said.
It was a common trait among
these players that helped endear
them to fans — they were grateful
just for the chance to play, the
chance to make the team.
“I’ve been playing football a long
time, and this was my opportunity,”
said Redskins quarterback Tony
Robinson, who hit 11 of 18 passes
for 152 yards Monday night.
“I never lost confidence in myself.
The one thing I’ve done is trust in
myself and the Lord,” Robinson
said. “I was just happy to be part of
the Redskins.”
Dallas defensive tackle Mike
Dwyer saw little action Monday
night, but expressed no bitterness.
“I’m going to keep going out
there and trying as hard as I can un
til they tell me to stop coming back,”
Dwyer said. “If they won’t take me
here, maybe another team will. I’m
just glad they let me play a little
while.”
Zoeller final survivor
in nine-hole Shootout
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Fuzzy
Zoeller dropped a 25-foot birdie
utt on the final hole and won the
90,000 first prize Tuesday in the
season finale of the Merrill-Lynch
Shootout.
“I think I’ll give up the tour and
just play these nine-hole things,”
joked Zoeller, who has made a habit
of winning the pro golf tour’s big-
money exhibitions.
He won $360,000 last November
in the Skins Game. Both the Skins
Came and the Shootout are made-
for-television events that are ap
proved by the PGA Tour but are
unofficial.
The Shootout will televised na
tionally by ABC on Nov. 8.
Zoeller had to survive two chip-
offs and a one-putt bogey to reach
the last hole in a head-to-head match
with Masters champion Larry Mize.
Both reached the green on the
par-4 ninth at the Ventana Golf and
Racquet Club, and Mize scared the
hole with a 30-foot putt before Zoel
ler ran in the winner.
The unusual format has 10 play
ers in the starting field, with one
man eliminated on each hole. If
there is no clear loser on a hole, a
chip-off is held, with the man the
greatest distance from the cup elimi
nated.
Zoeller was involved in a three-
way chip-off on the fifth hole which
eliminated Ben Crenshaw, and again
on the eighth after Zoeller, Mize and
Payne Stewart all made birdie 4.
Stewart was eliminated.
But Zoeller’s biggest break came
on the treacherous Httle par-3 third,
where he and two others missed the
green in a lateral hazard, took a pen
alty drop and one-putted for bogey
4.
That, however, was good enough
to advance when Tom Watson four
putted from about 60 feet. His fii si
putt failed to make it over the ridge
to the upper level of the green, and
he had a 40-foot second putt, which
he left 10 feet short, and then missed
that one.
Lanny Wadkins was the first to be
eliminated, taking a double bogey 6
from a bunker on the first hole.
Paul Azinger was the loser in a
three-man chip-off on the second,
and Dan Pohl left after a poor drive
produced a bogey 6 on the fourth.
Ray Floyd went out with a bogey
from the front fringe on the sixth,
and U.S. Open winner Scott Simp
son bogeyed from a bunker on the
seventh.
Poke players say team
has 'marked" image
DALLAS (AP) — The “original”
Dallas Cowboys players, practicing
again at Valley Ranch, are preparing
to deal not only with hostile oppo
nents on the playing field, but also
internal problems after the NFL
players’ strike.
While some of the league’s bigger
names crossing the line were Cow
boys, the team may also encounter
some harsh feelings because of the
highly visible role president Tex
Schramm played in the strike, play
ers say.
“They look at the fact that Tex
initiated a lot of the stuff or they be
lieve that Tex is the one that did,
and I’m sure they’re going to be
ticked off,” said cornerback Everson
Walls.
“Mr. Schramm was pretty much
the spokesman for management and
if this is what they wanted, then he
did a great job,” said linebacker Jeff
Rohrer.
“Unfortunately, it alienated a lot
of players around the league, and
I’m sure they’ll want to take it out on
us.”
The original Cowboys worked out
Monday at the team’s Valley Ranch
practice facility for the first time
since the strike ended.
Some Cowboys’ players believe
other NFL teams will view them as
one of the teams that ended the
strike.
“I think our problems won’t come
from within as much as from other
teams, especially a team like Phila
delphia,” said safety Bill Bates.
“They didn’t have anybody cross
the line, and that will just add fuel to
the fire.”
“There’s definitely a lot of teams
that will be gunning for us because
we were weak,” Rohrer said.
“The perception around the
league that’s been quoted by other
player reps is that that’s why this
team never goes anywhere.”
But Rohrer and others don’t think
internal problems will critically hurt
the Cowboys.
“The only way to make up the
money we lost is to get into the play
offs.” Rohrer said.
“We’ve got to focus our efforts in
that direction, put this behind us
and ignore the response we get from
fans the first time we play in Texas
Stadium.”
Herschel Walker said, “For this
team here, the Cowboys always have
been a team where the offense is de
signed for individuals — you do
your responsibility and don’t worry
about the guy over there.
“So I don’t think it’s going to af
fect us much at all.”
Cardinals
(continued from page 9)
will start for the Twins. Rookie left
hander Greg Mathews will start for
St. Louis.
Of the 37 teams that won the first
two games in the World Series, 27
went on to win it.
But in the last two years, Kansas
City and the New York Mets each
fell behind 2-0 and rallied to win in
seven games.
Straker and Tudor matched ze
roes through five innings.
Tudor retired the first six Twins
and escaped trouble in the third by
striking out Straker in his first ma
jor-league at-bat. Straker failed to
bunt with a runner on first, and the
mistake was magnified when Dan
Gladden followed with a two-out sin
gle. Tudor got Greg Gagne on an in
ning-ending fly ball.
The Twins, who had scored 13
runs in the fourth innings of Games
1 and 2, went down 1-2-3 this time
and that brought the loudest cheer
from the relieved crowd. Tudor fin
ished the fifth by fanning Straker
with a runner on third, again on
three pitches.
The Cardinals again came out
running against Straker, who has
trouble holding runners on base and
is prone to jitters. Straker committed
the 17th balk in Series history in the
second inning when he did not hold
his set position, something St. Louis
Manager Whitey Herzog said the
Twins’ pitchers do not do.
