Sweeney takes over in Dali
Landry gives ‘Giant killer’ nod for Viking game
Texas /
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Coach Tom Landry, who
had the only vote that counted, on Tuesday elected Ke
vin Sweeney to be the starting quarterback for the
Cowboys against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
“Kevin earned the start but the worst thing that can
happen is for people to expect him to be a miracle
worker against the Vikings,” Landry said.
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. He’s the slant:!
that doesn’t mean anything in the permat
position. I’m not disappointed in Steveati

Controversial instant replay no-call
leaves Glanville questioning system
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oilers
Coach Jerry Glanville said Tuesday he
has lost confidence in the instant replay
system following a controversial end of
the first half of Monday night’s 24-17
victory over Cleveland.
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

cord to 7-3 and gave therasclt

Division behind Cincinnati,

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.

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" :
