Giants win;
Dallas drops
6th straight
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)
— Phil Simms threw two touchdown
passes to Stephen Baker and Law
rence Taylor forced two turnovers
that led to scores as the New York Gi
ants gave a brief glimpse of their
1986 Super Bowl form and defeated
Dallas 29-21 Sunday, handing the
Cowboys their sixth straight loss.
Paul McFadden added field goals
of 37, 47 and 50 yards as the Giants,
7-3, won their fourth straight game to
remain in first place in the NFC East.
The loss practically assurred Dal
las, 2-8, of its third straight losing
season, and the six-game skid marked
the first time Dallas has dropped that
many in one season since their first
year. In 1960, they lost 10 straight
before tying the Giants. The Cow
boys have had two six-game losing
streaks since then, but each was over
two seasons, the last one in 1986-87.
Five of the Cowbovs’ seven losses
this season had happened in the final
two minutes of games. This one was
in the books by halftime as the Giants
built a 26-0 lead by scoring on five
straight possessions.
However, Dallas made it close at
the end as Kevin Sweeney came off
the bench and threw touchdown
passes of 1-yard to Steve Folsom,
nine yards to Michael Irvin and two
yards to Ray Alexander, that one
coming with 1:59 to play.
Dallas recovered the onsides kick
but got only to the Giants’ 29.
Taylor personally Set up two touch
downs with sacks of starting quar
terback Steve Pelluer.
With New York leading 3-0, Tay
lor knocked the ball out of Pelluer’s
hands with one of his classic hand
chops. George Martin recovered at
the Dallas 22 and, six plays later, Ot-
tis Anderson scored from a yard out.
McFadden stretched the lead to 13-
0 with a 50-yard field goal, then
Simms and Baker took over, with a
little help from the Giants defense.
New York got the ball back when
Harry Carson recovered a Herschel
Walker fumble at the New York 15.
The Giants went the 85 yards in 10
plays, with Simms hitting Baker for
the final 22 yards on a stop-and-go
pattern for a 20-0 lead.
Two plays later, Taylor sacked
Pelluer from behind and Erik Howard
fell on the loose ball at the Dallas 8.
After a 2-yard run by Joe Morris,
Simms hit Baker in the back of the
end zone from six yards out.
Dallas got within 26-14 on the Ir
vin touchdown, but McFadden
kicked his 47-yarder with 7:46 to go.
In the comeback, the Cowboys
converted on four of five fourth-down
attempts, with Irvin and Alexander
catching their touchdowns on fourth
down.

I don't know of a better one to use.”
Habermas earned that description by
finishing first in three individual events.
She won the 200-meter freestyle, the
200-meter individual medley and the
200-meter backstroke to lead the Lady
Aggies.
Laura Grimes, a freshman from San
Antonio, won the 200-meter breasts
troke, the 400-meter individual medley
and aided a first-place finish by A&M in
the 400-meter medley relay. Grimes was
joined by Courtney Searcy, Michelle
Chow and Joan Wojtowicz on the relay
team.
Grimes victory in the 200-meter
breaststroke led a sweep by the Lady Ag
gies in that event as she was followed by
teammates Ginger Hurlev and Searcv in
