UK fans take violence to bleachers
By Cray Pixley
Assistant Sports Editor
An American sports writer in
London
First part of a five-part series
Football is not a matter of life and death — at
least not in American college football.
Playing and losing to the Louisiana State Ti
gers is not a pleasant experience in anyone’s
book. Travelling to Baton Rouge and facing
those jeering lunatic LSU fans has become worse
than the Texas rivarlry — the LSU fanatics are
far more annoying, not to mention the fact that
the Tigers have triumphed over the Ags for
three years running.
Most Aggie fans who travel to the Cajun state
know what they are in for with the fans. There
are the blistering taunts and at times, violence
against Aggie property.
While this is all costly and frustrating, the
clashing fans have so far avoided serious physi
cal violence and injury.
After all, A&M fans uphold the honor of the
University while those LSU fans run amok.
With tempers riding high, one wonders how
long physical violence can be avoided.
A&M quarterback Bucky Richardson com
mented that the difference between the two uni
versities’ fans were that the Aggies were sober.
Recently in the United Kingdom, there has
been an escalation of the violence between the
fans of rival teams.
This summer, tempers Haired to a boiling
point in the football confrontation between the
England club and the Scotland club.
Part alcohol related, part deeply rooted re
sentment, the English-Scottish rivalry has be
come a glaring example of the over-zealous fan
problem.
Football has become more than a sport in the
U.K.
It has become a life and death situation.
In the early months of this summer, the meet
ing of the England and Scotland football clubs
was set for London’s Wembley Stadium.
The U.K. had already been having enormous
difficulties with fan violence at all the season’s
football matches. Fans were becoming uncon
trollable if not homicidal.
Secret police committees were formed to
counter the antics and had been of inconsidera
ble success at best.
The coming game between the two clubs was
seen as the invasion of London by a crazed con
tingent of bloodthirsty fans.
Not to worry, the English supporters were re
ady for the challenge.
The game had become of little consequence so
long as some serious head-bashing could be ac
complished.
The morning of the day of the match saw the
arrival of 30,000 Scottish fans.
Blood had already been spilled before they
even set foot in London. One drunken fan had
fallen off of a speeding train headed for London
and sustained fatal injuries. All the more reason
for the Scots to be on a rampage.
By mid-morning, the Scottish fans were visible
on nearly every street corner anxiously awaiting
the coming war.
They were easy to spot draped in the plaid
material of their team’s colors and clutching cans
of lager.
Some sang a fight song and screeched at pass
ers-by.
The English were not so easy to spotbiiue
present nonetheless.
Anyone not ready for a fight would have bed
wise to avoid Wembley Stadium for the m
day’s melee. Now was not the time forac
and sportsmanlike day of football.
The tension was about to explode.
Crowd control at the stadium was alreadi
shambles by the time the game began. Fans»
throwing punches and shouting at each other
play began.
The media kept a close eye on thehostilitiei
The match was a shadow compared to th
physical contact happening in the grandstands
Just what was the score of the gameanywai
But hey, that’s not of any importance.
Ji
During the game, an English spectator
off ' - ■
tossed off the stands and onto the electrifr:
rails of an above-ground train. Other fans slut
bled out of the stadium with the marksofa
vere beating.
The England club was victorious at this met
ing, hut the fans were in a dead tie. All h
their licks in.
The Scottish fans wandered the streets in4
jection after the game nursing bloody lips
waiting for a northbound train.The trot;
would retreat and regroup for another day
It was a truly sad sight of entertainment a
ried too far.
The A&M and LSU rivalry has a way togot*
fore reaching the level of this fanaticism-|«
hope that team loyalty never goes that far
A&M fans.
Cowboy rally fails; Steelers win opener
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Earnest
Jackson scored on runs of 15 and 29
yards and Bubby Brister’s scram
bling passes set up his own 1-yard
touchdown run as the Pittsburgh
Steelers held off two late Dallas
drives to beat the Cowboys 24-21 on
Sunday.
Brister, improvising several key
completions when his pass protec
tion broke down, completed 13 of 27
passes for 214 yards in his first NFL
opening-day start as the Steelers
withstood two touchdown passes by
the Cowboys’ Steve Pelluer.
Pelluer, who hit 24 of 37 passes
for 289 yards with two interceptions,
drove the Cowboys from their own
30 to a third-and-2 at the Steelers’ 4
with 3:14 to play. But a pass in
tended for tight end Doug Cosbie
was picked off in the end zone by
linebacker David Little. Pelluer had
been 12 of 14 for 164 yards in the
second half until the interception.
Luis Zendejas missed a 49-yard
field goal attempt with 44 seconds
left after the Cowboys had driven to
a first down at the Pittsburgh 23-
yard line. Pelleur was sacked twice
and threw an incompletion before
the failed kick.
Brister, a third-year pro from
Northeast Louisiana, made his first
start since 1986 and his first since
the Steelers traded away Mark Ma
lone, their starting quarterback of
four years, to the San Diego Charg
ers.
With the Steelers leading 17-14,
Brister hit Louis Lipps for 11 and 20
yards and Charles Lockett for 13
Landry ties longevity record
with 29th straight season
PITTSBURGH (AP) — lorn
Landry tied the NFL record for
coaching longevity Sunday when
he began his 29th consecutive
season as the Dallas Cowboys’
coach.
Curly Lambeau, who coached
the Green Bay Packers from
1921-49, was the only other NFL
coach to lead a team for 29 con
secutive seasons.
Landry, the only coach in the
Cowboys’ history, is the NFL’s
third-winningest coach with a
267-165-6 (.616) record. He and
Sunday’s coaching opponent,
Chuck Noll of the Pittsburgh
Steelers, are two of only four
NFL coaches to coach the same
team for at least 20 consecutive
seasons. The others were George
Halas and Steve Owen.
Landry, the Miami Dolphins’
Don Shula (26 seasons) and Noll
are the only active coaches with
20 or more seasons as head
coaches. Shula, who also coached
the Baltimore Colts, has coached
the Dolphins for 19 consecutive
seasons.
Noll, the NFL’s flfth-winning-
est coach with a 178-121-1 (.595)
record and the only coach to win
four Super Bowls, began his 20th
season Sunday.
Between them, Landry and
Noll have 445 career victories, 58
postseason games, 22 division ti
tles and six Super Bowl cham
pionships

Zendejas field goal gives Oilers OT win
said

offe
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tony
Zendejas, who missed two attempts
in regulation play, kicked a 35-yard
field goal at 11:09 of overtime on
Sunday to give the Houston Oilers a
17-14 NFL victory over the India
napolis Colts.
The Oilers’ winning drive took six
plays after the Colts’ Eric Dickerson
fumbled a pass reception at the Indi
anapolis 42.
Second-year quarterback Cody
Carlson, subbing for injured Warren
Moon, completed a third-down pass
for 21 yards to Drew Hill at the
Colts’ 24-yard line. Then, after two
short runs by Mike Rozier to the 18,
Zendejas kicked the winning field
goal.
He earlier missed attempts of 47
yards in the third quarter and 26
yards with two minutes left in the
fourth period when the ball hit the
right upright.
Dickerson, who rushed for 109
yards and caught six passes for 98
yards from quarterback Gary Hoge-
boom, gained 12 with the reception
on the first play of overtime. But he
was hit by Houston’s John Grimsley
and Robert Lyles caught the ball in
mid-air.
Neither team scored in the second
half of regulation, with the Oilers
losing the ball twice on fumbles and
the Colts once.
The Oilers’ first touchdown also
came on an Indianapolis turnover
when Steve Brown returned an in
tercepted pass 44 yards in the clos
ing seconds of the first quarter.
Houston scored its second touch
down in the final seconds of the sec
ond period when Rozier’s 1-yard
run capped a 90-yard drive.
Moon, who hit 11 of 15 passes for
137 yards, suffered a bruised right
shoulder early in the third quarter
and Carlson, making his first NFL
appearance, went the rest of the
game.
The Indianapolis touchdowns
came on a 23-yard pass from Hoge-
boom to Matt Bouza in the first quar
ter and a 1-yard dive by Albert Bent
ley midway through the second
period.
Last year, in a 51-27 Indianapolis
victory over Houston, it was Hoge-
boom who suffered a shoulder in
jury that sidelined him for the rest of
the season.
The Colts reached the Houston
37 on the first play of the second
quarter on a 27-yard pass to Bill
Brooks and a personal foul on the
Oilers. But a penalty for intention
ally grounding the ball and a loss of
7 yards on a sack took Indianapot
back to its own 46.
Hogeboorn passed 15 yards j
Bentley, but a fourth-down, 57-yait|
field goal attempt by Dean Biasuo
hit the crossbar, ending a streak:
10 in a row — one short of theteafi
record — started last year.
The Colts broke a 7-7 tieondieil
next possession, with Dickerson ha'
ing a part in six of the eight plays.
Four straight runs by Dickers#!
took Indianapolis to its 30. Brock:
then caught a pass for a 10-yard gar'
and lateralecl, as he was beiri
tackled, to Dickerson, who rank
yards down the sideline to theOileni
