IRVING (AP) — Dallas Coach Tom
Landry strongly endorsed quarterback
Steve Pelluer on Tuesday despite the
Cowboys’ five-game losing streak, pre
dicting “he’ll blossom out and make the
key plays to make a difference. ’ ’
Landry said Pelluer is “tough men
tally and will fight back. Of course, the
supporting cast has to come along, too. ’ ’
Backup quarterback Kevin Sweeney
will get a chance only if Pelluer is not
operating “effectively,” Landry said.
Landry said, “I can’t predict when
that would be. It would have to be from a
feeling I have in the arena. ’ ’
He said Sweeney, who has looked
good in practice, can’t handle as much
offense as Pelluer.
“We would have to work from a re
stricted game plan for him although he
(Sweeney) is well-trained,” Landry
said. “He has spent his life in football. 1

SPORTS EDITOR:
In response to Cray Pixley’s No. 3 item on
her list of gripes, peeves and sundry quibbles:
You know, I get sick and tired of people
making generalizations on the University of
Oklahoma based on Brian Bosworth’s actions
during his stay there.
Cray, do you know anything at all about the
university you were ragging on in your
column? Have you ever even visited the
campus? Or is your dislike for the university
somehow tied to your dislike of Mr. Bosworth.
Since we are on the subject of sports, let’s just
say that the University of Oklahoma had a
great football tradition before Mr. Bosworth’s
arrival and will have a great football tradition
long after he’s gone.
And speaking of fooball celebrities doing
embarassing things to a university’s image, let
me just say that the few mistakes Mr. Bosworth
made during his stay at OU pale in comparison
to what Mr. Sherrill and company have done to i
tarnish A&M’s image.
Allow me to sneak a cheap shot in by saying
that the Aggies do not even belong in the same
football field with any Oklahoma team — past,
present or future, and with or without Brian
Bosworth.

Landry said Pelluer should bounce
back from his worst performance of the
year. Pelluer suffered two interceptions
in a 16-10 loss to Phoenix and completed
only nine of 31 passes.
Dallas made only one of 13 third-
down situations. Pelluer suffered a sore
shoulder during the game but should be
ready to start against the New York Gi
ants on Sunday.
“Like most quarterbacks he has his
good days and bad days, just like Joe
Montana and some of the others,”
Landry said. “He can’t use the sore
shoulder as an excuse. I can remember
Roger Staubach and Don Meredith all
banged up hanging out there on a limb
throwing the ball. ”
Landry said Pelluer was handicapped
when starting center Tom Rafferty had to
leave the game with an injury. Rafferty
snaps in the shotgun formation so Pelluer
had to go from the T-formation in ob
vious passing formations.

“The timing is different and using the
spread formation gives the quarterback
an extra second to read the defense,”
Landry said. “We’ll have to work on
that this week with the new center (Bob
White).”
Although the Cowboys are in the Troy
Aikman sweepstakes with a 2-7 ledger,
Landry said he wants to win as many
games as possible. Quarterback Aikman
of UCLA is expected to be the top pick
in next spring’s NFL draft, a spot which
goes to the team with the worst record.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Former Kansas basketball coach
Larry Brown, who gave a student-athlete $364 for a plane
ticket to see his dying grandmother, said Tuesday he was dis
appointed by the NCAA sanctions imposed on the university’s
basketball program and never would have left Kansas if he felt
the penalties would be so strong.
Brown, who led the Jayhawks to the NCAA championship
last spring, accepted in June a $3.5 million, five-year contract
to coach the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs.
Kansas on Tuesday was put on a three-year probation for
recruiting violations and will not be allowed to defend its title.
It will be barred from postseason play in the first year of the
probation.
It also will not be allowed to give paid campus recruiting
visits in 1989 and will be stripped of one scholarship during
that period.
Reports have linked former Memphis State guard Vincent
Askew to the probe although the NCAA announcement did
not identify anyone.
Askew was recruited by Brown and spent the summer of
1986 on campus. He then returned to Memphis without play

Oilers looking for consistent pla
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Oilers’ key word
this week is “consistency,” but they hope the word
doesn’t apply to their series with Cleveland, the oppo
nent Monday night in the Astrodome.
Houston has won only two of its last 10 meetings
with the Browns, who have a string of seven non-strike
victories over the Oilers.
Oiler quarterback Warren Moon, however, says the
Oilers do want to end their up and down pattern of los
ing big one week and winning big the next.
“What we have to do is put two games back to
back,” Moon said. “I think the key word this week is
consistency.”
If the form chart holds, the Oilers should be ready
for a dive after Sunday’s 41-17 victory over Washing
ton.
“If we come out and play like we played (Sunday)
with a lot of emotion and enthusiasm and error-free,
we’ll have a good game against Cleveland,” Moon
said.
The Oilers have been feast and famine en route to
their 6-3 record.
They won back-to-back games to open the season,
then lost to New York 45-3 and came back the next
week with a 31 -6 victory over New England.
The Oilers dipped again with a 33-23 loss in Phila
delphia, followed up with victories over Kansas City
and Pittsburgh and spiraled to a 44-21 loss at Cincin
nati.
The Oilers careened back to the top Sunday night
with their best game of the season against the Super
Bowl champions.
Now it’s another nationally televised game against
the Browns, the only team to beat Houston in the As
trodome in the Oilers’ last 14 non-strike home games.
“This was by far the Best team win I’ve ever been
involved with, probably in football,” Oiler defensive
end Ray Childress said of the Oilers’ victory over
Washington.
“Now it’s just if we can do it every Sunday, I don’t
know. Cleveland is a bigger challenge than the
Redskins.”
