IRVING (AP) — Dallas Cowboys
quarterback Danny White retired
Wednesday from the 13-year NFL
career he played in the shadow of
the legendary Roger Staubach.
“I’m grateful to the Cowboys for
the opportunity they’ve given me to
play football,” said White, his voice
shaking and tears welling in his eyes,
“but more than that for the opportu
nity to have an effect on people’s
lives.
“That’s the thing I’m going to re
member most.”
White, 37, reached his decision af
ter a Wednesday morning meeting
with Coach Jimmy Johnson, at which
time he said it became apparent he
did not figure prominently in the
team’s plans for 1989.
The Cowboys selected UCLA
quarterback Troy Aikman with the
first pick in this spring’s NFL draft.
They picked Miami quarterback
Steve Walsh in Friday’s supplemen
tal draft, and Scott Secules is enter
ing his second season.
Steve Pelluer, the Cowboys’
starter last season, is holding out in a
contract dispute, leaving Babe Lau-
fenberg as the only player at this
week’s quarterback school who has
taken an NFL snap.
“The direction they wanted to
take was to get the young guys as
much work as possible,” White said.
“That opportunity was not going to
be provided.”
In May, White signed a contract
for an undetermined length, but his
role already had diminished with
Pelluer’s emergence over the past
two seasons.
White said he was not interested
in playing a role similar to that of
Don Strock, the former Miami Dol
phins quarterback who as a backup
tutored the young Dan Marino in his
early years.
When asked if he believed he
could be the starting quarterback
heading into this season, White sim
ply answered, “Yes.”
“Danny is such a competitor that
he wanted to be a key figure,” John
son said. “The job was wide open but
we have to make a decision on who
gets the repetitions, who gets the
practice time.”
After a collegiate career at Ari
zona State, White played two seasons
with Memphis of the World Football
League before joining the Cowboys
in 1976.
He was the most accurate passer
in club history and holds 11 club re
cords, but he was constantly com
pared to Staubach upon the Hall of
Famer’s retirement after the 1979
Bowl appearances and two world
championships, led Dallas to 23
comeback victories, 14 in the last two
season.
Staubach, who quarterbacked the
Cowboys to four of their five Super
minutes or overtime.
“That’s just something that’s been
overdone,” White said. “I never
tried to live up to the expectations
they had of Roger.
“I consider it an honor to follow
him.”
All told, White led the Cowboys to
five playoff appearances and two di
vision titles. His record as a starter
was 67-35.
But Cowboys fans most remem
bered White for the team’s three
consecutive NFC championship
game losses in the three seasons im
mediately following Staubach’s re
tirement.
His most bitter memory, he said,
was a 28-27 loss to San Francisco in
the NFC championship game after
the 1981 season.
The Cowboys appeared headed to
a record sixth Super Bowl appear
ance before the 49ers drove 89 yards
for the go-ahead touchdown, scor
ing in the final minute. Even then,
White was moving the Cowboys into
position for a potential game-win
ning field goal when he fumbled as
he was sacked near midfield.
White’s retirement leaves center
Tom Rafferty and defensive end Ed
Jones as the only players remaining
from the Cowboys’ 1978-79 Su^
Bowl team.
“We may have lost three Ml
championship games with
quarterback, but you have to rend
ber ... he was the quarterbacklojl
us to those championships,"Rafltr |j
said.
Johnson said he is not hesiii i
about heading into training cau |
later this month with an inti |
perienced quarterback corps.
White said that is where het
agreed most with the coach.
“They’re taking a step up,”\Vl
said, drawing the parallel bettvet
Johnson’s move from the coltij
ranks at Miami. “The organization!
growing together.”
Johnson said his newly instafe!
offense, which includes a numberi
system opposite from one employ
by the Cowboys in past seasons,eli;|
inated any advantage a veterzj
might enjoy over a rookie.
White said retirement will all j
him more time to devote to his fan]
ily and business. He also wouldcc
sider a career in broadcasting a-
color analyst.

The Arkansas Razorbacks will
• successfully defend their Southwest
Conference football crown but
they’ll be tested by Texas A&M and
Baylor, a Texas Football Magazine
poll shows.
The Razorbacks, 10-2 last season
and unbeaten in SWC games, re

the year and Baylor linebacker
James Francis was named defensive
player of the year.
Lewis was the No. 2 rusher in the
nation last season behind Oklahoma
State’s Barry Sanders.
Lewis gained 1,692 yards, ac
counting for 38 percent of the Ag
gies’ offense.
Francis made 82 tackles last sea
son, including 51 solos, and had
eight tackles behind the line of
scrimmage. He recovered two fum
bles and blocked a kick.
Texas free safety Willie Mack
Garza is the sophomore of the year,
beating out teammate quarterback
Mark Murdock.
Cuero running back Robert Strait,
expected to be ready for fall practice
after undergoing knee surgery, was
voted the SWC newcomer of the
year.
The Razorbacks must replace
eight defensive starters but they
have eight returning starters on of
fense, including quarterback Quinn

Rouse.
Grovey produced 1,481 yards
passing and rushing last season.
Rouse has 2,018 career yards despite
missing nine games in 1986 and half

Baseball’s second half starts
Thursday, and that means things get
a little more serious.
“You can’t say it’s still early any
more,” Los Angeles manager
Tommy Lasorda said. “Some clubs
only have a few weeks to get close or
forget it.”
The defending World Series
champion Dodgers are one of those
teams. The Dodgers are fifth in the
National League West and trail first-
place San Francisco by 11 games.
Los Angeles lost 16 of 23 and five of
six before the All-Star break.
The Giants lead Houston by two
games in the West because of Kevin
Mitchell and Will Clark.
The Giants have played 87 games.
Mitchell has 31 homers and 81 RBI.
He’s on a pace to hit 58 homers with
151 RBI. Roger Maris set the all-
time record with 61 homers for the
New York Yankees in 1961.
Clark is hitting .332 with 14 hom
ers and 64 RBI. It’s the Giants’ best
3-4 punch since Willie Mays and Wil
lie McCovey — both Hall of Earners.
“I’m confident in our hitting; our
main job is to keep the pitching
healthy,” Giants manager Roger
Craig said.
Mike Krukow is out for the rest of
the season after surgery for a torn
rotator cuff and Scott Garrelts is on
the disabled list with a pulled left
hamstring.
The Giants helped their chances a
great deal on June 18 by acquiring
reliever Steve Bedrosian from Phila
delphia.
Off last year’s play, neither the
Orioles or the Angels were expected
to be challenging for a playoff spot.
Last season, the Orioles lost 21
straight to start the season and spent
every day in last place. The Birds en
ter the second half of this year’s race
leading the New York Yankees by 5
1/2 games in the AL East.
The difference has been solid
pitching, the best defense in baseball
and timely hitting. Also some unex
pected hitting.
Mickey Tettleton has 20 homers
and 51 RBI, and Phil Bradley is hit
ting .312 and has a 14-game hitting
streak.
Everyone waited for the Orioles to
collapse. It hasn’t happened.
Last season, the Angels lost their
last 12 games and fired manager
Mike Port signed free agents Lance
Parrish and Bert Blyleven and gave
Jim Abbott a chance to start his pro
career in the majors.
The Angels enter the second half
with baseball’s best record at 52-33
and a 1 1/2-game lead over Oakland
in the AL West.
California leads the AL with a
2.89 ERA and has allowed three or
fewer runs in 11 of its last 13 games.
The Athletics have been hit hard
by injuries, losing Jose Canseco,
Walt Weiss and Dennis Eckersley.
With Eckersely in the bullpen, Oak
land had 19 saves in 20 opportuni
ties. Since he was sidelined with a
shoulder injury, the A’s are 13-for-
19.
The New York Mets were ex
pected to run away with the NL East.
But the hittingjust hasn’t been there
and Keith Hernandez and Gary Car
ter have been out since May.
The biggest blow for the Mets is
the loss of Dwight Gooden, who sus
tained a muscle tear in his right
shoulder and is out until at least
mid-August.
Since joining the Expos, left-
handed Mark Langston is 5-0 on the
road, allowing four earned runs in
49 innings.
The names to watch in the second
half other than Mitchell are Nolan
Ryan and Bo Jackson.
Ryan, who is 10-4 for Texas,
seems to flirt with a no-hitter every
other week and needs 77 strikeouts
for 5,000 in his career. At 42, Ryan
leads the majors with 148 strikeouts.
Jackson, the MVP of the All-Star
Game, reached the break with 21
homers and 23 steals and has a
chance to join Canseco as the only
other member of the 40-40 club.
Police arrest more Carter
students as investigators
examine recent robberies
DALLAS (AP) — Police ar
rested a ninth current or former
Carter High School student
Wednesday on armed robbery
charges in a series of holdups that
have been linked to at least five
varsity athletes.
Norbert Rogers, 18, of Lancas
ter, was arrested on one count of
aggravated robbery and was be
ing held under $25,000 bond,
said Dallas Robbery Lt. Jerry Ca-
lame..
Rogers is a first cousin to Der-
ric Evans, 18, a 1988 All-America
defensive back for Carter who
was charged last month with ag
gravated robbery in the same in
vestigation, police said.
Police on Tuesday arrested
Cowboy teammates Carlos
Dwayne Allen, Keith Campbell
and Patrick “P.K.” Williams,
members of the 1988 state
championship football team. All
were 18.
rested last month along will)
Evans on armed robbery charges,
Edwards, who had signed with
the University of Houston, and
Evans, who was signed by Ten
nessee, are accused of holding up
video stores and a dry cleaner.
Over the weekend, both men
made public apologies to their
families and the victims of the
robberies.
Campbell was a third-string se
nior tight end who did not grad
uate this year; Williams, a de
fensive tackle who lost his starting
position midseason; and Allen,
had been one of the area’s top
running backs before he broke a
leg in midseason.
“We got seven warrants and
that’s all we’re after right now,”
Calame said Wednesday of the
latest arrests.
Allen, Jimmy Edwards and
Williams each were charged with
three counts of aggravated rob
bery and were being held in lieu
of $75,000 bail. Campbell had
been charged with four counts of
aggravated robbery and was be
ing held in lieu of $ 100,000 bail.
Rogers graduated from Carter
in 1988 and has been attending a
community college, Calame said.
Former junior varsity football
player Aric Andrews and the bas
ketball team’s reserve forward
Jimmy Lee Edwards Jr., both 18,
also were arrested Tuesday.
Gary Edwards, 17, a Cowboy
running back-cornerback, was ar-
All but Andrews remained in
custody Wednesday.
One suspect, who was 16 when
the robberies occurred, was han
dled by juvenile authorities. He
was released to his father, pen
ding a trial. His name was not re
leased.
Police said the athletes and
their friends are accused in at
least four armed robberies at res
taurants where some suspects had
worked.
