Sign told
UF players:
No gambling
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — In
bold, red letters, a sign posted inside
the door to the training center re
ads: “DO NOT GAMBLE.”
Florida quarterbacks Kyle Morris
and Shane Matthews should have
known better, interim coach Gary
Darnell said. They should have
known the consequences of betting
on college and pro games. They
should have known they’d be kicked
off the team for violating the NCAA
rule.
Darnell, who took over the Gators’
scandal-ridden program when Ga
len Hall resigned 10 days ago, told a
news conference Tuesday that Flor
ida officials became aware of a possi
ble gambling problem through an
anonymous letter sent to athletic di
rector Bill Arnsparger.
Darnell learned of the allegations
Sunday and said Morris, who threw
for 1,098 yards and nine touch
downs before being suspended for
the rest of the season, should have
realized what he was doing.
A sign posted just inside the door
to the training center warns athletes
of the penalties they could face for
either providing information to
gambling interests or betting on in
tercollegiate athletics.
“It’s the biggest sign we have in
this building,” said Darnell, adding
that the coaching staff also has law
enforcement officers come in each
year to talk to the team about gam
bling and other illegal activities.
“I don’t feel like the NCAA views
anything any more severe than that
type of violation for an individual
because it violates the whole nature
of amateurism and what we all stand
for.”

A&M’s Thomas, UT’s Gardere
named SWC players of the week
FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
Texas A&M outside linebacker William Thomas
was a quarterback in high school and a safety his first
two years as an Aggie. Last spring, coaches decided
to move the junior to linebacker.
Thomas has responded well. He leads the Aggies
in tackles with 58, and his performance last Saturday
against Houston earned him the Associated Press
Southwest Conference defensive player of the week
award.
Not bad for a converted safety.
“I didn’t really think that I’d be making that much
of an impact at linebacker,” Thomas said. “You don’t
really see too many 205-pound linebackers. I was
worried about my size at first, but it turned out to
work out pretty well.”
Thomas, who had three and one-half sacks and 12
tackles in the Aggies’ 17-13 upset of Houston had
two sacks the week before against Texas Tech.
Texas freshman quarterback Peter Gardere was
selected as the offensive player of the week after his
performance in Texas’ 28-24 upset over Oklahoma.
Texas Coach David McWilliams watched the
freshman’s performance during the game. He saw
Gardere and just shook his head. He couldn’t believe
what he was seeing from the Texas redshirt fresh
man quarterback.
Gardere had just thrown a game-winning, 25-yard
touchdown pass to Johnny Walker with 93 seconds
left for the Longhorns’ victory.
“You’ve got to give the guy credit for a freshman,"
McWilliams said later in the lockeroom. “He’s going
to be a great player one of these days.”
McWilliams said Gardere produces when it
counts.
“Peter is a good athlete, I don’t know if he’s a
great athlete,” McWilliams said “He’s got good
moves and good quickness. The biggest thing is that
he reacts well under pressure. He hasn’t made a lot
of mistakes.”
Gardere directed a flawless 66-yard drive for the
winning touchdown. He completed four straight
passes before he hit Walker over the middle for the
game-winner.
Offensive tackle Ed Cunningham recently told
The Austin American Statesman: “He’s one of the
coolest guys I know, and by that I mean he’s so calm.
He’s very much in control.”
Gardere has show a senior-like ability to read de
fenses.
“On the touchdown to Johnny, I read a blitz sol
go it to Walker over the middle on single coverage,”
Gardere said. “I just had a good feeling going into
that last drive.”
Former trainer says
hooch hurt Cooney
NEW YORK (AP) — Drink and
late hours kept Gerry Cooney from
being heavyweight champion, said
the man who trained him from the
start of his sporadic career.
Victor Valle, saying Cooney broke
his heart when he fired him in a
“miserable three-minute phone
call,” said Tuesday the one-time con
tender would spar or work out with
the smell of alcohol on his breath
and glassy-eyed.
“I never told him directly I knew
what he was doing, because I didn’t
want to hurt his feelings or upset
him when he was getting ready for a
fight,” Valle said. “But I lectured
him about how all fighters should
stay away from booze and drugs.
That’s the way I sent him the mes
sage.”
“He was getting ready for the
Larry Holmes fight — the biggest
fight of his life, the chance to win the
heavyweight title — and he stays out
until 3 in the morning,” Valle said.
“He didn’t know it, but I had my
son, Victor Jr., checking up on him.
to find out when he was coming
back.
“I scolded him, like a father would
to son, because 1 thought of him as
my son.” *' "
Cooney, who has admitted he had
a drinking problem, was training at
the time at a resort hotel in Kiame-
sha Lake, N.Y., for the fight on June
11, 1982 in which Holmes stopped
him in the 13th round.
“He would gag during the spar
ring. He would throw up. We told
the people it was something he ate.
But it really was something he
drank,” Valle said.
Now, at age 33 and after a 2 1 /2-
year layoff, Cooney plans still an
other comeback by fighting former
champion George Foreman on Jan.
15. Cooney says he’s straightened
himself out.
“I think he can beat Foreman,”
Valle said. “Gerry can do anything
he sets his mind to. He is a good ath
lete, he has the material, he has a
punch.
Cowboys
(Continued from page 7)
might move to a number one de
pending on the performance of the
five-year veteran, who was a fifth
round pick out of Washington in
1984. The Cowboys wouldn’t con
firm what they received.
Pelluer had been on the trading
block all year and at one time nixed a
deal that would have sent him to the
Atlanta Falcons.
After the abortive Atlanta trade,
Pelluer changed agents from Joe
Courrage to Leigh Steinberg.
The Cowboys signed Pelluer then
traded him to Kansas City to beat the
3 p.m. NFL trading deadline.
Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson said
the 1990 draft pick is “solid” and the
1991 selection depends on Pelluer’s
performance.
“Kansas City is where Steve
wanted to play and it’s a good thing
for Steve and the picks will help us in
the next couple of years,” Johnson
said. “The total package we got for
Steve could be better than the one
offered by Atlanta which included a
player. It worked out well for us and
it worked out well for Steve. He has
new life with a team he wants to
for.”
Pelluer, whose new contract was
not disclosed, will practice with
sas City this week but isn’t exp
to play against the Cowboys when
they try to snap their winless streal
this Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium
Instead, former Cowboys' quar
terback Steve DeBerg will start for
the Chiefs.
The Cowboys went after Palmer
because Nelson said he didn’t want
to play in Dallas. Nelson, who makes
$500,000 this year, was then shippet
off to the Chargers who are short of
running backs.
Palmer was a number one
pick for Kansas City in 1987 but was
traded to the Lions in the off-season
“We need another running bad
and want to give Paul a look,”
son said.
There was a trade the Cowboy;
decided not to make.
San Francisco cornerback Tin
McKyer visited Valley Ranch
Johnson said “We don’t feel any
thing will materialize.”
McKyer has been suspended b
the 49ers.
Johnson said the Cowboys now
have 16 draft picks in hand for tht
1990 NFL draft.
“We believe all these picks art
going to help us in the next several
years,” said Johnson, who is 0-6 in
his NFL rookie season.
