Oilers’ Rozier reports to camp
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston running back Mike Ro
zier, a contract holdout since the start of training camp,
agreed to a one-year contract and reported to workouts
Wednesday.
“I wouldn’t be here if it didn’t get anywhere,” Rozier
said after packing his gear in his locker. “I haven’t
signed but I’ll be at work tomorrow.”
Oiler officials said no contract had been signed but
Rozier said he was ready to play.
The Oilers at one time offered Rozier a five-year
contract worth $5.2 million and a $25,000 signing bo
nus but the battle lines formed over the bonus.
Rozier wanted a $250,000 bonus but the Oilers
would not budge from their $25,000 limit.
Terms of Rozier’s contract were not announced but
KRIV-TV reported the Oiler running back agreed to
sign a one-year contract worth $600,000.
“It should have been done a long time ago,” Rozier
said. “Different things kept coming up. He (Oiler gen
eral manager Mike Holovak) said no. I said no. But ev
erything is worked out now.”
Rozier said he didn’t regret missing preseason.
“Hell no, who likes to go to camp anyway,’’!
said. “I got a gift from God. It’s not hard formetol
come in and start playing and do the things I’ve
doing. I don’t gotta work hard like some ballpljl
do.”
Holovak, who thought Rozier had been near sip
previously, remained cautious.
“Nothing has been done yet, and until sometij
signed there is nothing,” Holovak said.

Pokes, Ponies open different!
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Cow
boys and Southern Methodist Mus
tangs brought their freshly scrubbed
programs before the populace last
weekend, and you get the impres
sion they’re on different orbits.
The Cowboys, 3-13 and the NFL
cellar-dwellers last year, have an ex
citing young quarterback and an en
ergetic new coach.
Preseason games don’t tell all, but
the Cowboys definitely showed a
winning attitude under new coach
Jimmy Johnson and a strong offen
sive spark behind rookie quarterback
Troy Aikman. The 3-1 preseason re
cord is meaningful in that it gave the
Dallas players some confidence after
the shambles of last season.
Of course, you can have all the
confidence in the world and run
slow, and you’ll get flogged like a
bad dog.
“The more you win the better
your attitude,” Johnson said. “The
oetter morale you have, then you
have more confidence and a chance
to win in the future.”
Notice he said “in the future.”
Johnson knows he doesn’t have the
bosses on defense to run with the
NFL big boys this year.
Yet you sense that just as soon as
Johnson gets close to dead even in
talent, then the Cowboys will be a
bona fide playoff team.
Alas, the story is a much sadder
one on the hilltop at SMU.
Talk about a program in ruins.
SMU started 17 freshmen the
other night against the Rice Owls.
The NCAA “death penalty”
caused the Mustangs to stay out of
collegiate football for two years, but
it’s going to be much longer than
that before the punishment ends. •
The Mustangs are too slow and
small. »fever a team needed to play
its games on a water-soaked wheat
field, it ought to be SMU. The Mus
tangs hit hard and fought hard, but
you can’t hit what you can’t catch.
Rice, not exactly a top 50 rated
team, was much too swift for the de
termined Ponies in a 35-6 victory.

Holtz still unsure of No. 1 Irish
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Lou
Holtz has added Shakespeare’s po
etry to his repertoire of lines be
moaning the prospects of his top-
ranked Notre Dame football team.
“Wasn’t it Shakespeare who said,
‘Heavy is the head who wears the
crown?”’ the coach asked after learn
ing the Irish climbed to the No. 1
spot in the weekly Associated Press
poll.
“Each week is different, and all I
know is we’re better than Virginia.”
Notre Dame’s convincing 36-13
victory over Virginia was enough to
nudge Notre Dame up one position
and trade places with Michigan,
which opens Sept. 16 against the Ir
ish.
“I don’t feel like we’re the worst
team in America,” Holtz said in jest
after a practice. “But if we’re the No.
1 team, college football has deterio
rated considerably.”
With nine days left before the top
two teams meet, Holtz has his squad
practicing on artificial turf to pre
pare for the Michigan field. Notre
Dame plays its home games on grass.
“The last two days have been en
couraging,” Holtz said. “I think
they’ve fallen into their practice hab
its.”
Running back Ricky Watters, who
rushed for 80 yards in 12 carries
against Virginia, said fans disap
pointed by the loss of Tony Brooks
should watch Rod Culver. “Rod
doesn’t have all the experience yet
that Tony had, but in due time you’ll
see that Rod Culver’s a great back
also,” Watters said.
Culver, a sophomore from De
troit, rushed for 195 yards and three
touchdowns last year in Notre
Dame’s national championship sea
son. Brooks was refused re-admis-
sion this fall after a series of discipli
nary scrapes.
Culver scored a touchdown
against Virginia while rushing 47
yards in nine carries.
“It’ll be the same thing Brooksie
and I would have had — like a tan
dem,” Watters said. “I would
been a nice 1 -2 punch to knock
ale
out. As we go along, I think Rm
and I will develop into the same
of thing.”
