Call Pauli Research International 776-6236 Walker dominated Cards, says Landry IRVING (AP) — Dallas Coach Tom Landry said Tuesday that Herschel Walker’s fourth period against the Phoenix Cardinals was why the Tony Dorsett trade was made this summer. Walker carried nine times on a 13- play, 81-yard drive to the winning touchdown Monday night in a 17-14 NFL victory over the Phoenix Cardi nals. “Herschel was just dominating,” Landry said. “He’s just so powerful that you can be in position to make the tackle and he runs over you.” The Cowboys traded Dorsett to Denver after Landry decided Dallas’ future was with the younger Walker. Walker rushed 29 times for 149 yards against the Cardinals and scored on a 3-yard run. “Herschel is the number one chal lenge of any defense that plays us,” Landry said. “What you saw in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals is the type of offense we are leading toward.” Landry said, “I guess in that fourth quarter was as many times as Herschel has ever run the ball. He just gets stronger. That was the hardest workout he’s had since sum mer camp. I was beginning to won der if he had any spring left in his legs.” Landry said he would love to be an offensive lineman blocking for Herschel. “I would really enjoy blocking for him,” Landry said. “He’s worth the price of a ticket, even in Phoenix.” Landry said the Cowboys, who are 1-1, are “playing a much tougher of fense than we did in the 1970s. We are blocking tougher. Our young of fensive line is improving.” Landry said quarterback Steve Pelluer only had “an average” game against the Cardinals. “He didn’t beat us or get trapped,” Landry said. “He only had one bad throw when he underthrew a receiver deep. He’s learning. It’s a progressive thing. He threw a ball away down there on the goal when the receiver was covered. He learned that from last week.” Hermesmeyer (Continued from page 11) Lady Aggies winning the SWC title and finishing in the top 10 of the na tional rankings. For 1990, Givins has set the NCAA Final Four and a na tional title as realistic goals for A&M. “It’s (the NCAA tourney) defi nitely something I want to experi ence and we’ll be very disappointed as a team if we don’t make it this year,” Hermesmeyer said. These lofty goals played a major part in getting Hermesmeyer to at tend A&M. “I’m goal-oriented like (Civins) is, and I liked that about his program,” she said. Hermesmeyer has modest per sonal goals this year and hopes to keep improving while fulfilling her role as a backup outside attacker be hind seniors Cheri Steensma and Vi vian Viera. “Basically, my job is to work as hard as I can and be ready to step in whenever and wherever I’m nee ded,” Hermesmeyer said. Hermesmeyer, the youngest of four children, participated in soccer, track, basketball and softball, as well as volleyball. “I started playing sports when I was little because I was raised around boys and I was a rough kind of kid,” she said. “I started out play ing in a T-ball league and 1 was in Little Dribblers (basketball) and other sports groups.” She began her volleyball career as a sixth grader in a YMCA league and has stuck with it ever since. “I decided to stay with volleyball in high school because I got more at tention for it anti I loved it so much,” she said. Hermesmeyer chose A&M over Duke, Clemson, Texas Tech, Baylor and Texas-Arlington. “1 was impressed with the overall package here as far as academics, fa cilities and spirit,” she said. "Duke had the academics, but A&M had the total combination.” She’s impressed with the spirit of the fans here despite the small crowds. “We have a lot of spirit as a team and our crowds are spirited,” she said. “The crowd is a big advantage for us.” The Lady Aggies have been com petitive against tough competition and look to only get better as the sea son progresses. A big test for the team will be a trip to California next week for three games, including a match with national power San Jose State. “This will provide some good op portunities to expose our program,” Givins said. “We re ahead of sched ule and I was real pleased with our performance last weekend.” Conference (Continued from page 11) “It seems like every week we play a Heisman Trophy candidate,” Sherrill said. “He has tremendous speed and great action in picking holes and cutting back. He’ll break every record that Alabama’s ever had.” He also said this year’s Tide pos sesses the best talent Alabama has had in a long time. Defensively, Alabama returns eight starters headed by inside line backer Derrick Thomas. Thomas recorded 18 sacks last year for 142 yards in losses. Former Alabama All-America linebacker Cornelius Bennett made only 16 in his entire career. Bennett was the first player picked in this last year’s NFL draft and is playing for the Buffalo Bills. Sherrill said Alabama Head Coach Bill Curry will play Thomas almost anywhere on defense. Sherrill said Alabama will be die fastest team the Aggies will play all year. “They’ll stunt a lot and turn Thomas loose quite a bit. They’re awful quick.” From an offensive standpoint, Al abama played with a no-huddle of fense against Temple. Sherrill said, “That will probably be a big part of their year. I’m glad we’re home, it’ll be hard for them to go with no huddle in front of 73,000 people.” Seoul officials take stand on drug issue 6 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Olympic officials Tuesday averted a U.S. boycott of opening ceremonies, then took on the drug issue by unveiling a state-of- the-art testing center and a new, get-tough rule. U.S. athletes were so upset over a plan by organizers to limit the size of teams marching in Sat urday’s opening ceremonies —ef fectively leaving out about hall of the 611-member American team — they threatened to stay awav en masse. Within hours the International Olympic Committee and Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee retreated and said any athlete who wanted to take part could do so. “It is their right,” the IOC and SLOOC said in a statement. Volleyball player Robert Panic said the ceremony is a big part of the Games. “We’ve been looking forward to doing it, and it would he a shame if it didn’t work out,” fie said. Evie G. Dennis, chief of the U.S. mission, said the restrictions, designed to reduce participation from 13,000 athletes to 8,000 and speed up the show, were not ac ceptable and were resented bv the Americans. “Every American who has a right to compete here feels that the chance to march in the open ing ceremonies is the culmination of the Olympic dream itself ," said Mike Moran, spokesman for the U.S. Olympic Committee. "Any athlete who represents iiis or her country and could not march would have a disappoint ment probably exceeding any failures they suffered on the play ing field,” he said. Disappointment looms for drug users and dealers under the Olympics’ high-tech testing sys tem and anti-drug program. Drug dealers could be banned from the Games for life under the resolution adopted by the IOC. "We believe in two things in the fight against doping — sanctions and education," said Prince Alex ander de Merode of Belgium, chairman of the IOC’s medical commission. “Education is . first step, but we need sttH sanctions as well.” I he IOC’s executive board’ have the power to impose jr ties that “may extend tolifees, sion f rom all forms of com^ tion in whatever manner in Olvmpic Games or in am >. competitions organized the auspices of the lOCorwi. patronage.” 1 he IOC agreed iinaniii; at its 94th session that people make, distribute or finance purchase of any of the more 90 items on its list of banned stances should be barred fror ()lvmpic involvement. The only exception, the said, would be doctors, pha] c ists and other members of medical profession treating tients. Of ficials also showed of[ million drug-testing center with computers, chromatog and mass spectrometers gin the analysis of urine of all medalists and a sampling of other athletes. "Athletes who use drugs are imprudent, ill-advised,or, plain stupid," said Dr. Robenl gal, a member of the IOC's cal commission. Angel Myers, a U.S star, already has beendis for the use of steroids, four members of the ( weightlifting team. All were caught by tests in home countries. The lab here will receire about 200 samples a day “It’s mostly the athletes use the steroids who get said lab director Dr. Park, a University of professor who has spent the three years preparing Games.

Rozelle says his frienc should buy Cowboys DALLAS (AP) — New York bil lionaire Robert Fisch should pur chase the Dallas Cowboys, said his friend, National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle. “We’ve talked about ii a great deal and I think he’d be a terrific owner.” Rozelle told the Dallas Morning News Monday night at the Dallas- Phoenix game. “He’s the kind of owner that the NFL would want and welcome,” Ro zelle said. “He’s a great success in business, he’s a former postmaster general, and he would do a terrific job with the Cowboys. I’m encourag ing him to do it.” But Fisch, a close friend of Ro zelle, is concerned about the com muting distance between New York and Dallas. Fisch, as Cowboys owner, could continue to live in New York and al low Tex Schramm to operate the franchise. “He has a great interest in sports," said Rozelle. “I think he wants to own a pro sports team, but ho like something a little dost home. I don’t think he would hands-on owner. “He lias a great deal of fas l ex and Cowboys manager- Rozelle said. “But he doesntv lx - a absentee owner, either.is think making the commuteiss thing he would not enjoy."
