Moon shines in Oiler comeback wii
(Iggte CPlayefs
HOUSTON (AP) — Quarterback
Warren Moon, Houston’s player
representative during the NFL
strike, suff ered the brunt of criticism
during the walkout and in pre-game
introductions Sunday.
“I’m the guy that’s going to lead
this team in the playoffs whether
people like me or not.”

The world premiere of a provocative comedy/drama!
The 16th Century California coast is the setting for this
intriguing encounter between native Americans and
European sailors under the command of Sir Francis Drake.
Drake, his crew, his captured Spaniards, his Cimaroon
mistress, and the Olamentko Indians all find each other
equally mysterious. This comic clash of cultures is an
innovative, sometimes poignant, often disconcerting and
always entertaining, perspective on the roots of much of
today’s cultural misunderstanding. The Aggie Players non-
traditional/cross-cultural casting will accentuate the
play's theme.
Please join us for this exciting world premiere!

Moon was booed by the home
town crowd when he was introduced
with the starting lineup. He was
booed again when he threw an inter
ception on his third pass of the
game.
But that was all forgotten and for-
? ;iven in the Final seconds of the
ourth quarter, when Moon com
pleted a 14-yard touchdown pass to
Curtis Duncan with 27 seconds left,
rallying the Oilers to a 37-33 victory
over Atlanta.
Houston Coach Jerry Glanville
said the victory was a reflection of
the teams’ efforts to heal strike
wounds.
“Everybody went out of their way
during the week to shake a hand and
to resolve differences,” Glanville
said. “The win was just icing on the
cake.”
Duncan called his two-touchdown
performance the ultimate of his ca-
Moon and the Oilers kept coming
back. Moon had three touchdown
passes and combined with Mike Ro-
zier on a fourth touchdown.
Tony Zendejas kicked field goals
of 31, 43 and 24 yards to help offset
a four-field goal show by Atlanta’s
Mick Luckhurst. Luckhurst had
kicks of 39, 37, 45 and 18.
Atlanta’s Scott Campbell com
pleted 14 of 26 passes for 187 yards
and had one intercepted.

“My personal confidence goes
with the team,” Moon said. “If they
believe in me and fight for me, I’m
willing to fight for them.
“Nobody likes to be booed but
that doesn’t bother me as much as if
the team doesn’t have confidence in
“I didn’t realize I was that open
(on winning touchdown), it seemed
like the ball was in the air two to
three minutes. This is by far my big
gest thrill in football,” he said.
Oilers guard Mike Munchak said
the team was behind Moon.
“Warren did an excellent job be
cause we had a lot of bad field posi
tion and he marched us everytime
we needed it,” Munchak said.
The game was tied six times, but
“A quarterback can't play without
confidence,” Campbell said. “I don’t
know where I stand ability-wise, but
I try to be cool anti believe that I can
put the ball where I want it.”
Luckhurst's 45-yarder with 6:45
to go tied the game, and his 18-
yarder with 2:24 to go gave the Fal
cons their final lead, 33-30.
“We fought hard all day but it
boils down to opportunities we
didn’t take advantage of,” Atlanta
Coach Marion Campbell said. “They
took advantage of their’s and we
didn’t.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The
regular Eagles’ first game since the
24-day players strike could not of

planned it.
Ryans’ Philadelphia Eagles scored
a touchdown on the last play of the

“That last touchdown was very

did it to pacify Ryan’s over-inflated
ego,” said Linebacker Steve DeOssie.
The Eagles had dedicated the

during the NFL strike.

Eagle threat to score a meaningless
touchdown by sending in veterans

crossed the picket line.
His stand prompted Braman to
characterize the coach with an un
printable word and to criticize
Ryan’s distaste for the strike games.
The Eagles’ defense recovered
three fumbles, blocked a field goal
and sacked quarterback Danny
White five times. Two of the f umbles

the Dallas 1-yard line when Keith
Byars, starting for the first time
since he broke his left foot in a May
minicamp, scored as time ran out.
“I had it planned that way all
along,” said Ryan.
The reaction in the Dallas dress

Defensive end Clyde Simmons

blocked a field-goal attempt to set up
