HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston
Oilers, moving to bolster their de
fense, traded their ninth selection in
the first round of Sunday’s NFL
draft to the Los Angeles Raiders
Thursday for defensive end Sean
J ones.
Jones, a 6-foot-7, 265-pounder
from Northeastern, was a second
round pick by the Raiders in 1984
and led the American Football Con
ference with 15V2 sacks in 1986.
He said the transition would be an
easy one for him.
“I think this is a good opportunity
for me, for the Raiders and for the
Oilers,” Jones said in a telephone in
terview.
“I’ve always been attracted to the
Oilers because of the aggressive de
fense they play. It’s a lot like the
Raiders, so there won’t be much
transition.”
The trade left the Raiders with
the sixth and ninth overall .picks in
the draft.
It was immediately speculated
that the club might package those se
lections in an attempt to acquire a
quarterback, perhaps Washington’s
Jay Schroeder. The starting quar
terback for the Raiders in recent
years, for the most part, has been the
often-criticized Marc Wilson.
“We liked Sean Jones better than
anyone else we feel we could have
gotten with the ninth selection in the
nrst round,” Oilers General Man
ager Ladd Herzeg said.
Houston, SWTSU near agreeme

SAN MARCOS (AP) — The
Houston Oilers apparently are close
to an agreement with Southwest
Texas State, which would allow them
to conduct their 1988 preseason
training camp at the school.
was our second contact this month. I
don’t want to speculate, but it does
look promising.”
After neeting with Rick Nichols,
Oilers director of personnel, SWTU
Coach John O’Hara said no formal
agreement had been signed, but
both parties are interested in moving
training camp from San Angelo to
San Marcos.
“Rick came back for a second visit
to clarify some things as well as get a
better idea of what the Oilers need
from us should they choose to train
here this summer,” O’Hara said to
the Austin American-Statcsman.
“We are very interested in them
coming here, and Tuesday’s meeting
Last Thursday, O’Hara, SWTSU
Athletic Director Bill Miller and Led
McKinnon, Bobcats special promo
tions director, met with Oilers Coach
Jerry Glanville, Nichols and Ladd K.
Herzeg, Oilers executive vice-presi
dent and general manager, to tour
the SWTSU campus and training fa
cilities.
“I would characterize the meeting
as very positive,” Miller said. “No
agreement has been signed because
a move of this magnitude has lots of
details to be worked out on both
sides. We do know that the Oilers
are through looking at possible sites,
and we expect to hear from them
sometime next week.”

(AP) — Bob Knep-
Camacho combined
on a six-hitter and Denny Walling
had three hits and drove in two runs
Thursday night as the Houston As
tros beat the Atlanta Braves 8-0.
The Braves, shutout by Houston’s
Mike Scott Wednesday night, have
not scored in 19 innings. Atlanta has
been shut out four times this season.
Knepper, 2-0, gave up five hits in
six innings. He struck out three and
walked two. Camacho finished up
for his first save.
Alan Ashby hit a two-run double
and Walling followed with an RBI
single for a 3-0 lead in the fourth
against Kevin Coff man, 0-2.
Gerald Young walked, stole sec
ond and scored on Kevin Bass’ single
in the fifth off Jim Acker.
The Astros scored three runs in
the sixth, capped when Terry Puhl
stole home as part of a double steal.
Ashby reachea on first baseman Ted
Simmons’ error, Walling tripled and
Rafael Ramirez hit a sacrifice fly.
Puhl drew a walk, took third on
Young’s single, and they executed a
double steal.
The last Houston runner to steal
home on a double steal was Luis Pu
jols on May 19, 1981, against St.
Louis.
Young hit an RBI single in the
eighth.
High school pitcher goes
for 4th straight no-hitter
LAGO VISTA (AP) — Lago Vista
pitcher Todd Massey, who goes for
liis fourth straight no-hitter today,
says he understancls the pressure but
it does not bother him.
“It’s not like I’ll be thinking every
time 1 throw a pitch that it could be
the one that could cost me a chance
at another no-hitter. Winning the
game means more than any no-hit-
ter,” he said.
Massey, 10-2 this year, began his
no-hitter streak in an 1 1-0 win over
Hutto in which he walked six. He
was near-perfect the next time out in
a 30-0 slaughter of Holland. The los
ers got their only base-runner on a
catcher’s interference call.
Massey pitched only five innings
against Hutto and Holland because
of the 10-run rule. He chalked up
his third no-hitler in a Tuesday uin
over Jarrell.
Granger is today’s opponent.
“I’d like to have another no-hitter.
Anybody would,” Massey said. “But
I’m not really nervous, other than
being pumped up because Granger
is a game we have to win.”
Two Texas schoolboy pitchers —
Ricky Trlicek of La Grange in 1985
and Brent Rasner of Waco Robinson
in 1978 — have thrown three con
secutive no-hitters. The national
high school sports record book lists
two pitchers with five straight no-hit
ters and five others with four in a
row.
Massey, a 6-foot-2-inch, 165-
pound senior, is 24-9 in his high
school pitching career. His two losses
this year were to Blanco and Manor,
Class 2A teams. Lago Vista, which is
at Lake Travis near Austin, is a Class
A team.
ARLINGTON (AP) — Bobby
Witt loves it when you talk dirty
to him.
Scream at him. Get in his face
and air him out. Put him in a
headlock and ram bis melon into
the turnbuckle. Knee-drop his
kidneys. Yank his hair and poke
fingers into his face.
Just don’t treat him nice.
He wouldn’t understand.
One other thing; don’t attempt
the above unless a) you’re 6-4,
230 pounds, b) your name is Die k
Egan, or c) all of the above.
You can’t get away with it if
your name is Tom House, for in
stance.
House, the pitching coach of
the Texas Rangers, tried.
“I’m a task-master, but I can’t
be (real dirty),” House said before
a recent appearance by Witt, one
of the Rangers’ starting pitchers.
Dick, because he’s a gruff old
grouch, can do it."
Before Egan came aboard.
Rangers manager Bobby Valen
tine tried getting through to Witt
with about the same results as
House. That doesn’t mean that
Valentine still doesn’t explode on
Witt now and then — like in
Witt’s spring training outing
against Oklahoma City at Port
Charlotte.
Witt was coasting — and get
ting knocked around — when he
was met at the dugout steps by
Valentine after the second in
ning. It didn’t take a private eye
to figure out that the Rangers’
skipper wasn’t pleased with Witt's
effort.
But only Egan seems to he able
to get Witt’s full and complete at
tention, which is one of the rea-
sons the Rangers added Egan as a
