Sweeney threw three touchdown passes in the sec ond half of Sunday’s 29-21 loss to the New York Gi ants as he came off the bench to replace Steve Pelluer. Dallas has lost its last six games in a row and is 2-8 for the season under Pelluer as a starter. Landry said starting is a lot more difficult than being the relief quarterback. “It’s a little different when you tee it up from the first tee,” Landry said. “Kevin is confident, and I be lieve he will get the job done, but we can’t expect mir acles. It will be interesting to see what he can do. ” Sweeney started and won two games last year as a member of the “Rhinestone Cowboys” replacement team. “The players have a lot of respect for him,” Landry said. “He is exciting and he has the ability to throw deep. Some say he isn’t mobile enough but when you run for your life you can get pretty fast. ” Landry said Pelluer took his demotion in stride. “He was fine,” Landry said. “He is a team player.” “Of course I’m disappointed, but I figure this is just a step back” said Pelluer. “I’ll be very supportive of Kevin, but I’ll work very hard to take the job away from him. I haven’t lost my confidence in my ability to do the job.” Asked if he was influenced by Club President Tex Schramm, a longtime Sweeney backer, Landry quipped “No. Tex lets me dig my own graves.” Schramm said “the fans are anxious to see some ex citement. I’ve said all along it’s up to us to create the excitement. “There was just something special about Sweeney in the replacement games. Of course, once he starts he has to perform like anybody else. ” Asked how long he thought a fan honeymoon with Sweeney would last, Schramm said “Oh, probably about two interceptions.” The player reaction was immediately positive. “Why not give the guy a shot?” asked linebacker Steve DeOssie. “He’s played great and deserves it. It will get the team pumped up that’s for sure. It will be exciting ” Landry said Sweeney must earn (ties from week to week. “Pelluer is tough enough to handle this I said. “If Sweeney keeps playing well, thetj chance to stay as the starter.

Glanville charged two officials at the end of the half, claiming the Browns had run a key third down play from the Oil ers’ 11-yard line with 12 players. “We need to get somebody to wake up and quit eating a hot dog or doing something in the press box on a play that crucial with 12 men on the field,” Glan ville said. The Oilers were leading the Browns 7- 3 when Browns fullback Kevin Mack gained five yards to the Oiler six-yard line in the final minute of the first half. Glanville said the Browns had two running backs, two tight ends and two wide receivers on the field for the play. The Browns ran three more plays without scoring before the half ended. “I’ve changed my entire feeling on the instant replay,” Glanville said. “If you can’t find 12 men on the field, what can you find, so why have it? “It’s totally ridiculous to pay all that money and have all this (instant replay) equipment and can’t find two tight ends two running backs and two wideouts in the game at the same time. ” Asked what the officials told him in their halftime confrontation, Glanville said, “They said I was crazy, which I may be, but sometimes I’m right too. ’’ The Browns didn’t purposely have 12 players on the field, Glanville said, and tried to cover up the infraction by not calling a time out to try a field goal. “I don’t think Cleveland ran the 12 men intentionally because as soon as they got the first down, he (the 12th player) slithered off to the side,” Glan ville said. “1 think (Coach) Marty (Schotten- heimer) realized if they called a time out, the play was backing up.” The Oilers came back in the third quarter, blocked an NFL record-tying fifth punt of the season and took a 21-3 lead. The halftime theatrics had nothing to do with Houston’s second-half surge, Glanville said. “We didn’t need to get any more fired up,” he said. The Oilers took a 14-3 lead after line backer Johnny Meads broke through and blocked a punt by Cleveland’s Max Ru- nager at the Browns 30-yard line. Mike Rozier later scored on a three-yard run. The Oilers now share the NFL team record of five blocked punts in a season with four other teams. Glanville now has coached for three of the five teams that share the record. He was with the 1975 Detroit Lions and 1978 Atlanta Falcons wheniksi blocked five punts. “Here, the numbers add villc said. “We have morepe® ing the plays here. I’d likelo team be the one to break iherects The victory improved the 0« cord to 7-3 and gave therasclt sion of second place in the AFC Division behind Cincinnati, The Oilers return to the roai Seattle this week. All three this season have been road game Glanville said the Oilers ora the game with eight players will not practice this week beds juries.

Lufkin High head coach knows his defense AUSTIN (AP) — Pat Culpepper can’t quite put out of his mind what his Lufkin Panthers did recently in its 39-0 trouncing of Texarkana High School. It wasn’t so much that his football team guaranteed itself a playoff berth, it was how they did it. “It was the most unusual game I’ve ever been in,” Culpepper said. “For the first time I’ve every heard of, a team had no first downs. And they never crossed the 50-yard line. We’ve got a great defense. ” The man speaking should know a thing or two about great defenses. Culpepper, downright tiny for a middle linebacker at 5 foot 11 inches and 185 pounds, was de fensive captain of the 1962 University of Texas team that went 9-1-1. Today, after a coaching odyssey that has seen the 47-year-old Cleburne native coach at six colleges and two high schools, Culpepper is at the helm of a rejuve nated prep program that has had four winning season and two playoff berths over the last five years. “My dream has always been to go back to the Uni versity of Texas and coach football,” Culpepper said. “But you never know, because I’m enjoying what I’m doing now. “I’ve coached college football, and I’ve met some great people. But hardly anything in coaching beats being with a team in the playoffs in the state of Texas.” Culpepper has had to readjust his goals before. A diehard Aggie tan because of Bear BranU set to play for Texas A&M until Bryant left fa bama. ' jUfj Instead, he was wooed to Texas by Darrell was a move he was never to regret. “I’ve kept a lot of letters and notes thatlkjti I was at Texas,” Culpepper said. ‘Tvesavdi azine and newspaper articles through the y® (Royal’s) responses to things. I review tion frequently.” Royal wasn’t the only big influence on Culp Defensive coordinator Mike Campbell and as Jim Pittman earned his undying respect. Egos Are Alysia G ing the t (Continued from page 9) Then comes the end of Murray’s A&M career, and he’s left in the cold. The word’s out with the NFL scouts that Murray has attitude problems, and he doesn’t get drafted — nobody wants him. My heart goes out to Murray. He was built up as a “god” in Aggieland — and he couldn’t help but read about himself. And then he gets out in a world that doesn’t worship him, namely the NFL, and he’s left with the reality ot who he really is — just another person, like the rest of us. It’s a sad story, but everyone has to learn who they really are at some point in their life. I believe it could be a whole lot easier on athletes, though, if sports writers and fans in general didn’t make idols of them. Even guys like Lewis, who almost certainly will be what pro scouts are looking for, will eventually have to look at themselves outside of a newspaper article. Careers end and spotlights get turned off quickly, but coming down from a life of heroism is a slow process. The University of Texas’ Eric Metcalf has been strongly promoted as a Heisman candidate since last year. He was suspended for one game this year and is playing below most sports writers’ and fans’ expectations. If Metcalf has been swayed by what others have said about him the last few years, there is a good chance that he is now wondering where all the goal# went. My heart goes out to Metcalf, is | he’s not even close to beingther falsely labeled sports god int To me, it is a tragedy thatwriie fans exalt college football players,! all athletes, onto a stage that is temporary and invariably collapsi;: There will come a day when theK" : known in every athletes life that at:j from the spotlight,they lookjusli| rest of us. o All the Pizza, , and Beer you can hold Goors LU.
