As sports editor, I would think that Mr. Hammons would carefully scrutinize an article written by himself. After reading the article Ags swimmers Sweep Owls, I noticed at least three blatant errors: 1.400 freestyle: 10:28.10 — Hal. an 8-year- old could swim faster than that. 2. 200 intermediate medley. Hal, it’s called individual medley. 3. 500 freestyle: 208.63 — Hal, with that time, Ernie Vela could have blown everyone out of the water at the recent Olympic games; by minutes. Hal, for those of us who know something about swimming, please report accurate times and spellings for swimming events and all other sporting events as well. As a former swimmer, I had to let you know about these errors. As a reader of the Battalion, I had to let you know because I expect good reporting. Scott E.

(AP) — NFL owners presented their players union with a choice of two plans for a new con tract Thursday — one based on lib eralized free agency, the other on in creased pension and benefits. But the bottom line was this mes sage— get back to the bargaining ta ble and negotiate or the owners will implement whichever plan they choose on February 1, 1989. “It’s in everybody’s interest to get a negotiated contract,” said Jack Donlan, executive director of the NFL Management Council. “That’s what we hope to get.” But the union gave an almost im mediate “no.” “This, on its face, is not a means for us to consider when we go to the table,” said Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Associa tion, who received the proposal Thursday. “What I have in front of me is worse than what we have discussed and rejected,’’ he said. “There’s nothing to change it.” The NFL and its players have been without a contract since Sept. 1, 1987. Howeever, most provisions of the 1982 contract are still being ad hered to while the contract dispute remains before a federal judge in Minneapolis as the result of an anti trust suit filed by the union at the end of the 24-day strike in October, 1987. The owners warned that without a new agreement, a new plan will be imposed Feb. 1 — presumably with random drug testing, something the NFL Players Association has bitterly objected to. Donlan said in a letter to Upshaw that both his plans include “unscheduled testing for prohibited substances.” Pokes facing angry Bengals IRVING (AP) — All Tom Landry needed facing his luckless Dallas Cowboys Sunday was an angry Cincin nati Bengals team. The Cowboys have lost seven games in a row in their worst season in 29 years (2-9) and can’t get a break. The Bengals, division leaders in the AFC Central with an 8-3 record, come calling at noon on Sunday af- tera 31-28 loss to lowly Kansas City. “We got outplayed and we’ve got to start our momen tum over again with Dallas,” said Cincinnati coach Sam Wyche. Cincinnati blew a nine-point lead with six minutes left in the upset victory by the Chiefs. “There was no way we should let Kansas City beat us,” said Bengals’ quarterback Boomer Esiason. “It tells you that the ballclub can’t stand prosperity. It forgets that it has to play a full game. At the most crucial mo ment, mistakes happen. When you have those mistakes, you’re not going to win the game. “I’m more ticked off now than I’ve ever been.” • Just what the Cowboys want to hear. Landry said, “I imagine Cincinnati will be pretty fired up when they get here after what happened in Kansas City. We’re not getting very lucky this year. We’ll just try to be ready.” The Cowboys, fresh off a 43-3 flogging by the Min nesota Vikings, haven’t won a game since they beat At lanta 26-20 on Sept. 25. Dallas and Cincinnati have met only three times, the last time on Dec. 8, 1985 in Riverfront Stadium with Esiason passing for three touchdowns and 265 yards in a 50-24 victory. The Bengals befuddled the Cowboys with their no huddle offense. (0 UJ $590° 0 0 £ to pr. *-STD. DAILY WEAR SOFT LENSES J < (/) $79°° <0 £ 0 0 pr. *-STD.

Unfortunately, the arena is Notre Dame Stadium and the host team is 9-0, ranked No. 1 in the nation and, just like Penn State was two years ago, headed for the Fiesta Bowl and a possible national championship showdown. This is Penn State’s first regular- season game against a No. 1-ranked team since a 48-14 rout of Pitt in 1981. And, of course, the Lions upended No. 1 Miami 14-10 in that 1986 Fiesta Bowl. For the first time, Notre Dame is playing seven home games and this is the last one. And although Penn State coach Joe Paterno says he doesn’t know “if we can stay dose to Notre Dame,” Coach Lou Holtz of the Fighting Ir ish has “no doubt that Penn State will come in here and play as fine a football game as they’ve played all year. Take away the West Virginia game (a 51-30 loss) and Penn State’s defensive statistics are as good as any in the country. “When I evaluate a football team, I don’t care how they’ve performed, I look at how they’re capable of per forming. Penn State is as capable as any team in the country.” Nevertheless, Notre Dame is a l7V2-point favorite. Upset Special of the Week . . . Penn State 24-21.
