after broken shoulder free agency
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oiler quarterback Warren
Moon, still recovering from a broken shoulder bone, says he
didn’t have his “fastball” velocity in Sunday’s 44-21 loss to
Cincinnati and may consider more surgery after the season.
Moon completed 13 of 32 passes for 158 yards and had two
intercepted in Sunday’s game, his second since returning from
a broken scapula in his passing shoulder in the season opener.
Moon, noted as a strong-armed passer before the injury,
complained of a lack of velocity following the game, although
quarterback coach June Jones saw no drop off.
“Warren never said anything to me about it but from what 1
saw, Warren threw the ball about as accurately and about as
well as since I’ve been here,” said Jones, in his second season
with the Oilers.
Moon reported to the Oilers training room and declined to
elaborate on his condition Monday and the Oilers took Tues
day off before starting work for Sunday night’s game in the
Astrodome against the Washington Redskins.
“He threw the ball on top (down field) three or four times
as well as he’s ever thrown it,” Jones said. “That’s where any
type of arm problem would show up.”
Moon suffered from shoulder pain last season that was di
agnosed as an inflamed bursa sac.
Oiler Coach Jerry Glanville also said he was pleased with
Moon’s progress.
“I thought Warren made enough throws in those last three
quarters to put us right out in front of the game,” GlanvilJe
said. “But we weren’t able to convert them.”
The Oilers didn’t convert because thdir receivers dropped at
least four passes.
The most crucial incomplete pass came in the fourth quarter
when Drew Hill dropped a touchdown pass in the end zone.
The score would have cut Houston’s deficit to 35-27 with
most of the fourth quarter to play.
Kicker Toni Zendejas continued his slump with a missed
45-yarder after Hill dropped the touchdown pass.
Zendejas was third in AFC scoring last season, converting
20 of 26 field goals, or 77 percent of his kicks.
Zendejas has hit six of 15 attempts this season. His slump
fhas continued despite the return of Brent Pease as his holder.
Rookie punter Greg Montgomery was holding for Zendejas
at the start of the season.
“We’re not getting the percentage that we normally get,”
Glanville said. “We’ll try to correct that too. His leg is
strong, that’s the big thing. He just needs to get it through the
uprights.”
Oiler backup quarterback Cody Carlson, who suffered a
broken thumb against Kansas City, had the cast removed from
his right hand this week.
Carlson filled in for Moon from the first game of the season
until his injury when he was replaced by Pease.
No date has been set for Carlson’s return to the active list.
The Oilers have a 5-3 record going into Sunday night’s
game against the Redskins as part of a two-game home stand.

Landry says retirement
isn’t in his near future
IRVING (AP) — Dallas Coach Tom Landry answered his
critics on Tuesday by saying he wasn’t going to retire and
fully expected to restore the Cowboys to prominence in the
NFL.
“I came back knowing this year was going to be a tough
go,” Landry said. “I could have easily stepped down a few
years ago and played golf and improved my score.
“But I’m not going to quit until I bring the Cowboys back
on top and I think I can.”
The Cowboys are off to a 2-6 start, worst in 25 years under
Landry who has coached the team all 29 years of its existence.
Landry has one more year remaining on his contract after
the 1988 season.
After Dallas’ 24-23 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday, one
writer branded Landry as “senile” and a Dallas newspaper
opened a telephone poll asking if it was time for Landry to re
tire.
“I don’t read the newspapers much and I don’t care how the
poll comes out,” Landry said. “I’m not shocked by it (the
criticism) when you realize some of the outstanding people
who write. It’s the nature of our sport — they (the writers)
don’t care how long you’ve been there.
“I just hope that when I recover they write something good
once in awhile.”
Landry, asked about his morale, quipped “I guess us old-
timers (Chuck Noll of Pittsburgh and Don Shula of Miami)
have to rally together.”
Landry underwent a crossfire of criticism for a third down
call late in the Eagles’ game that led to quarterback Steve Pel-
luer grounding the ball.
Landry said he thought the ball was on the 30 yard line in
stead of the 23. The penalty took Dallas out of field goal posi
tion and the Eagles scored the game winning touchdown after
the punt.
As it turned out, Pelluer rolled out the wrong way on the
third-and-three play.
Landry said with his young team he knew there would be
down periods this year.
“I knew a valley would be there,” he said. “I just wish I
could take all the responsibility for our losses. I know where
we are and where we arc going. Things are under control. The
solution is in sight.
“I said it would be a three-year program and it will be a
three-year program. We’ve had an unfortunate dip, but we’ve
played exceptionally well in six of eight games. The losses
have been disappointing but we’re a better team than we were
last year.”
Landry said the Cowboys were relegated to a spoiler role
for the rest of the season.
“We want to play to win because all the teams we play will
be contenders,” Landry said. “It will be a struggle and I’d
think a 4-4 record would be a reasonable goal considering the
caliber of teams.
“We arc just seven points per game away from being a good
football team. ”
Landry underlined his committment to youth by cutting 13-
year veteran linebacker Mike Hegman.
“It wasn’t easy to do because I think a good deal of Mike,’ ’
Landry said. “But I feel we need to go with our younger play
ers.”
Hegman’s brightest moment as a player came when he stoic
the ball from Pittsburgh’s Terry Bradshaw and ran 37 yards
for a touchdown in Super Bowl XIII.
The Cowboys host the Phoenix Cardinals at noon Sunday.
The oddsmakers made Dallas field goal favorites.
“We’ll have to score in the high 20s to stay with the Cardi
nals,” Landry said. The most points Dallas has scored this
year was 26 against Atlanta.
Cleveland High game brawl
gets team 2-year probation
SILSBEE (AP) — An executive com
mittee of high school superintendents
recommended Tuesday that the Cleve
land High School football team be placed
on probation for two years following a
game-ending brawl last weekend, offi
cials said.
Cleveland school officials on Sunday
canceled the remaining two Cleveland
football games following the Friday
night fight.
The fighting began after the visiting
Lumberton Raiders put together an 82-
yard scoring drive to upset the Cleveland
Indians 13-12 and snap a losing streak
dating back to 1986.

lay back, take
It shows in his demeanor. He can
usually be seen with a two- to three-day
growth of beard — “scruffiness,” as he
calls it — and his unkempt hair, which is
made more so by his relaxed, head-in-
hand sitting posture.
And in his attitude. Instead of being
upset about missing more than half of his
senior year, he emphasizes the help he
gives to Wilson and Simmons.
But don’t get the idea he doesn’t mind
being out. After all, he’s been doing it
since he was six years old.
He said he quit once — after the very
first day. After all, first-graders aren’t
usually used to being pounded on.
But the next day he changed his mind.
He’s played ever since. “I’ve been doing
this for this many years,” he said. “It’s
kind of hard watching, knowing you
could contribute somehow. . . .
“You can’t sit and dwell on the past.
The more you think, the more you get
depressed.”
So Matt Gurley relaxes. It’s easy for
the laid-back senior from Arlington.
But it’s not so easy for the competitor
in him.
It makes for an interesting contrast.
The same 22-year-old who slouches in
his chair with his ever-present toothpick
in his mouth is also the 22-year-old who
looks for a challenge in every facet of
life.
It infests him as a football player. Al
ways present is the drive to be better at
what he does today than he was yester
day. Most of his free time goes to prac
tice or, as is the case now, rehabilitation.
Whatever time is left over Gurley likes
to spend in other challenging ways, like
playing basketball or snow skiing. When
he’s not in a brace.
Which brings up his injury again.
Gurley said he has resigned himself to
waiting until the coaches tell him he can
play. It’s a weekly chore, he said: Mon
day evening he asks the coaches if he
will play that week. They tell him no. He
gets ready for a week of practice without
lacing up his pads. Laid-back.
But, he said, he’d just as soon not
wait. Two months of rehabilitation is
long enough, he said. He’s ready to play
football. Competitive.
“Hopefully it will be soon,” he said.
‘It’s getting boring.”
The A&M team hopes so, too.
“The board wanted to take a firm
stand to let the players know that such
action would not be tolerated,” added
trustee Don Belt.

An executive committee, made up of
school superintendents from District 17-
4A. met Tuesday in Silsbce resulting
with the committee accepting Cleve
land’s decision to cancel the remaining
two football games.
“Also they recommended and are
sending a letter to the UIL that they be

Athletic Director Ray McGallon said.
McGallon said the probation would in
clude the 1988 and 1989 seasons. De
spite being on probation, Cleveland can
still have a football program, but could
be banned from playing if incidents such
as Friday’s brawl occurs again, he said.
Cleveland Superintendent Linden Joe
Parrish said Monday the objective of
canceling the rest of the games “is to get
total control of the kids and assure that
we don’t endorse this kind of behavior.”
Bill Farney, athletic director with the
University Intcrscholastic League in
Austin, said the school has the authority
to shut down its football program but
could face penalties for not fulfilling its
schedule.
