The Oiler defense couldn’t keep quarterback Bubby Brister from driving the Steelers for the “They made the big plays all day. They made us miss so give them some credit.” Brister completed three touch down passes, including two to Louis Lipps for 80 and 65 yards and the game-winner to Merril Hoge for 16 yards. Dwight Stone returned an Oiler kickoff 92 yards for the first kickoff touchdown return against the Oilers since 1973. “I don’t think we’ve given up that many big plays since New York,” Glanville said, referring to a 45-3 loss to the Jets Sept. 18. “Ordinarily, we’re a good tack ling football team,” Glanville said. “We’ll just have to go back and emphasize that this week.” Moon ran for touchdowns of 2 and 3 yards and completed a 6- yard touchdown pass to Mike Ro- zier. The Oilers, who struggled to beat Dallas 25-17 on Thanksgiv ing Day, started the game fiat. Houston trailed 17-13 at the half and fell behind 24-13 in the third quarter. The offense recovered in the second half but the defense didn’t. “Pittsburgh is trying to salvage their season and I preached that all week,” Moon said. “This team (Oilers) is not to the pointwecan play a bad game and win.” T he Oilers dropped to9-5foi Sunday’s AFG Central Division game against Cincinnati, 11-3, in the Astrodome. Houston’s final regular-season game is Dec. 18 at division rival (Cleveland. Willie Drewrey became the sec one! Oiler punt returner in as many weeks to be lost for the sea son with an injury. Kenny Johnson is out with a broken arm and Drewrey suf fered a dislocated elbow against the Steelers. Wide receiver Haywood Jet- fires will replace Drewrey on the roster. Hard-luck Cowboys remain in contention for top draft pick IRVING (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys will have a tough time beating the Green Bay Packers out of the NFL’s No. 1 draft pick, but they’re looking solid gold for the second selection. The Cowboys, who have lost a club-record 12 games, play at Washington on Sunday then must battle the Philadelphia Ea gles in Texas Stadium on Dec. 18 with Coach Buddy Ryan’s bunch in the NFC East playoff fight. Green Bay matches Dallas’ 2- 12 record with two games left in which the Packers will be big un derdogs. The Packers will play host to Minnesota Sunday then travel to Phoenix on Dec. 18. If Dallas ties with Green Bay, then the Packers get the No. 1 pick because of a weaker sched ule. With two games to go, Detroit and Tampa Bay each have 4-10 records as the contenders for the worst ledgers in the NFL. Tampa Bay is at New England and plays host to Detroit while Detroit’s other game is at Chi cago. The Cowboys have said they would take UCLA’s Troy Aikman if he is available but they also have a need for a Lawrence Tay lor-type outside linebacker. Aikman is rated the top quar terback in the draft. Derrick Thomas of Alabama or Broderick Thomas of Nebraska could make an immediate impact on the Dallas defense. Dallas lost its 10th consecutive game on Sunday, falling 24-21 to the Cleveland Browns. The Cowboys slipped on a bad- luck banana peef again, built around a club-record 17 penalties for 142 yards. Dallas’ Roger Ruzek lost two field goals that were negated by a holding infraction and a tripping infraction. The last penalty, called against veteran Randy White, erased a field goal that would have tied the score with 1:38 remaining. “It was a place-kicker’s night mare,” Ruzek said. “Two field goals called back. Two of then wiped out of the record books.” Dallas Coach Toni Landry on Monday wasn’t blaming the refer ees for Dallas’ loss. “We don’t seem to be getting the breaks right now,” Landn said. “That’s the kind of season we are having. We are socloseyet we do the wrong thing at the wrong time.” The Dallas players were a little stronger, saying the team is being picked upon because it’s out o( the playoffs.

They’re both fine football teams that have everything.” Everything but a 1-2 shootout in the Fiesta Bowl. Notre Dame and West Virginia are the nation’s only unbeaten col lege football teams but Miami’s de fending national champions own the No. 2 ranking in The Associated Press’ final regular-season poll, re leased Monday. Notre Dame received 49 of 53 first-place votes and 1,055 of a possi ble 1,060 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and sports- casters. There were no changes in the top seven places. Miami, a 41-17 winner over Brig ham Young, received one first-place vote and 994 points, while the other three first-place votes went to West Virginia, which totaled 950 points. Fourth-ranked Florida State re ceived 900 points, and was followed by Southern California with 839, Nebraska with 775 and Auburn with 767. Connecticut gains respect, ranking in national polls Arkansas and UCLA, which swapped places last week, did so again. Arkansas jumped from ninth place to eighth while UCLA slipped from eighth to ninth. Oklahoma again rounded out the Top Ten. STORRS, Conn. (AP) — After years of playing like a punch-drunk fighter in a league of heavyweights, Connecticut’s basketball team awoke Monday to find it had gained new respect. The Huskies, with victories in their first two games, were ranked No. 18 in The Associated Press poll. “I’m happy to be in the polls,” Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said Monday. Meanwhile, Duke and Michigan continued to top the poll. Duke, 4-0, received the same number of first-place votes as last week, 47, from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.

(AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders received a hero’s welcome Monday upon his return to Okla homa State and, as usual, tried to de flect the spotlight. “On behalf of my teammates, I want to thank you guys for coming out here today,” Sanders told a crowd of about 1,000. “We have one more favor to ask. We want to get these seniors 10 wins. With your support, I’m sure we can pull out a victory.” The Cowboys, 9-2 after a 45-42 victory over Texas Tech at Tokyo on Sunday, play Wyoming in the Holi day Bowl at San Diego on Dec. 30. The welcome back celebration was short as university officials, Coach Pat Jones and Sanders addressed the crowd for about five minutes soon after the team returned to the cam pus. Before the arrival of the team by bus from Dallas, a disc jockey played music for the crowd — some of whom wore the school colors of orange and black. One person wore a T-shirt bear ing Sanders’ name and “Let The Re cords Speak For Themselves,” a ref erence to the records Sanders has broken this year. Jones thanked those on hand for their support throughout the season and introduced team captains David Bailey, Garrett Limbrick, Hart Lee Dykes, Chris Stanley and Mike Gundy. Sanders was the last to be in troduced. Several players stood in front of and alongside the stage — a flatbed trailer on the practice field —- as Sanders addressed the crowd. Sanders was on the first of two buses to arrive on campus. The play ers were met with loud applause as they started gelling off the buses. After the ceremony, Sanders« whisked away by an assistant and met with the media briefly He said the publicity surrounds his award, announced Saturdays!
