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. Under the watertower in College Station 1912 Texas Avenue 693-3311 Gurley (Continued from page 7) self outspoken. I just things as they come.” 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. omen dc imes off ation Ti et-level' “I’msa y to ijev aard! imed ei vemmei hing the iergy.

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. look at the film and the posit'; and assure ourselves that «’t good football team,” Willia®3| The Owls haven't won a jamJ 38-28 victory over State in the fourth game last®: hasn’t had a winning seasons®!
