Vikings humiliate Oilers 38-7; Carter plays key role in romp MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Carter took his foot out of his mouth and put it ahead of Houston defend- Sur ers Sunday, catching seven passes for 123 yards and leading the Min nesota Vikings to a 38-7 victory over the Oilers. Carter, who on Tuesday said he was so upset with his contract that Vikings coach Jerry Burns should bench him because “I won’t put my best foot forward,” scored Minneso ta’s first touchdown and set up its next two. A two-time Pro Bowl receiver who is making $450,000 this year, about half as much as some of the league’s highest-paid receivers, Carter later apologized to Burns and the team. Wade Wilson accepted the apol ogy and said he would throw early and often to Carter. He did, hitting Carter for 14 yards on the Vikings’ first offensive play. The pair connected twice more on the seven-play, 80-yard drive, in cluding a 32-yard touchdown pass that tied the game 7-7. Minnesota got the ball back on Mike Merriweather’s diving inter ception of a Warren Moon pass and, after Wilson’s 14-yard pass to Car ter, Wilson hit Steve Jordan with a 2- yard TD pass. Wilson, starting his first season as the team’s undisputed No. 1 quar terback after a two-year battle with Tommy Kramer, completed 16 of 25 passes for 218 yards. The Vikings went up 21-7 by tak ing advantage of another Houston mistake: punter Greg Montgomery’s inability to handle Bruce Matthews’ low snap. One play after a Wilson-to- Carter 22-yard hookup, Rick Penney scored from 1 yard. Teddy Garcia made a 35-yard field goal for a 24-7 halftime lead. Penney added a 3-yard third- quarter run and Alfred Anderson scored from 2 yards in the fourth. Houston, losing its first opener in five years, had taken a 7-0 lead on a 13-play, 61-yard march capped by Alonzo Highsmith’s 1-yard run. The drive ate up the game’s first 7:48. The Oilers were without 1,000- yard rusher Mike Rozier, who just signed Thursday. Top teams in prep football see weekend action For Corrigan-Camden coach Jim Skinner, the 1989 high school football season has gotten off to a good start. The Bulldogs lost most of last year’s Class 2A state championship team to graduation, including eight play ers who received football scholarships. But 5-6, 167-pound Undra Holman, who gained 2,337 yards last year, is back, and Holman exploded for 221 yards on 20 carries, including a 41-yard touchdown run, as Corrigan-Camden defeated Woodville, 35-16, on Friday night. Corrigan-Camden, ranked No. 4 in Class 2A in the Associated Press preseason poll, has its hands full this week, however. The Bulldogs must go to Groveton, the state’s No. 1-ranked 2A team. A similar match-up is in Class 5A, where Marshall, ranked No. 4 last week, journeys to Odessa Permian, the state’s No. 2-ranked team. Marshall lost to Neville, La., 22-17, last weekend while Permian was blasting El Paso Austin, 55-0, behind the running of Chris Comer. Vol In last weekend’s key games, top-ranked Converse Judson in 5A, defending state champ Paris in 4A,Gi veton in 2A and Munday in 1A all won, but Navaso ranked No. 1 in 3A, was bounced, 20-8, by A&MCg solidated. That leaves No. 2 Sweeny, No. 3 Southlake Can and No. 4 Gainesville poised to fill the void. Swee beat West Columbia 34-13, defending 3A state chat Southlake Carroll routed Boyd 41-0 for its 17thstraif win, and Gainesville defeated Springtown 39-7. In a major upset, No. 3-ranked Lufkin in SAIost Beaumont Central 27-14. In games involving top-ranked teams, Judson be San Antonio Jay 37-0, Paris beat No. 4-ranked Denis.™ r 32-16, Groveton beat Trinity 35-7, and Munday ov whelmed Haskell 61-20. Skinner has no argument with those who pickedGi veton as the No. 1 Class 2A team in the state overli defending state championship club. “That’s who I would have picked. They haveagrs club, a lot of talent. I don’t know if we can stop them not. We’re real young this year, and we’re having sen ral kids play hurt,” Skinner said. /Tv £McDonald's INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS sponsored by McDonald’s Post Oak Mall • Hwy 21 Manor East Mall • University Dr. Texas Ave. at S.W.
