Rockets blow
past Blazers
in 109-86 win
TANK M«-NAMAItA
by Jett Millar & BIIIHin^
HOUSTON (AP) — Mitchell
Wiggins scored eight points dur
ing a third-quarter spree Tuesday
night as the Houston Rockets
coasted to a 109-86 victory over
the Portland Trail Blazers.
Portland led 52-50 at halftime,
but Wiggins’ 18-footer started
Houston on a 28-10 third-quarter
run.
It was the Trail Blazers’ sec
ond-lowest scoring quarter in
franchise history.
Buck Johnson led Houston
with 18 points, followed by Wig
gins and Otis Thorpe with 14
each. Akeem Olajuwon had 13
points and 20 rebounds as seven
Houston players scored in double
figures.
Clyde Drexler led Portland
with 20 points, while Jerome Ker
sey had 13.
Portland was 4-of-23 from the
field in the third quarter, while
the Rockets were 1 l-of-22.
The Rockets scored the first
points of the fourth quarter, and
the Trail Blazers never pulled
closer than 18 points.
Rowe, Hazard Players of Weej
“Sometimes you have a quarter
where you just run flat,” said
Houston coach Don Chaney.
“They had a quarter when thay
couldn’t buy a basket.
“And when you’re missing
shots like they were, you’re sus
ceptible to the transition game.
We got a lot of baskets off the fast
break.”
Portland’s Buck Williams was
critical of his team’s shot selec
tion.
“In the third quarter, we were
rushing our shots and forcing our
shots. We weren’t running our of-
fehse,” Williams said. “To make
matters worse, they did a great
job of rebounding. Akeem con
tested a lot of shots.”
Portland coach Rick Adelman
credited the Houston defense
with the Blazers’ third-quarter de
mise.
LUBBOCK (AP) — To Texas
Tech linebacker Charles Rowe, foot
ball is about intensity.
“I just believe we just don’t know
how to lose,” he said Tuesday, en
thusiasm still in his voice three days
after the Red Raiders upset Texas in
Austin to raise their record to 6-2.
Rowe kept his intensity level up
against Texas, recording 15 tackles,
12 of them solo. He had a sack, two
quarterback pressures and broke up
a pass. For his performance, he was
named Southwest Conference de
fensive player of the week.
Before the season began, lots of
media prognosticators would have
predicted Tech to be holding a los
ing record by now, Rowe said, add
ing: “We don’t go by what reporters
have to say. Wejust go with what’s in
our heart and we maintain that in
tensity level.”
The conference’s offensive player
of the week is Manny Hazard of
Houston, who caught 19 passes for
194 yards and three touchdowns as
the Cougars defeated Texas Chris
tian, 55-10.
Rowe, a 6-2, 220-pound junior
from Killeen, said he couldn’t be
lieve anyone would single him out of
Tech’s overall defensive
against Texas. Stephen
erspoon recorded 11 tackles,
ing one for a five-yard It

Orioles’ Olson AL’s outstanding played
NEW YORK (AP) — Gregg Olson, the relief pitcher
who led Baltimore to the one of the greatest turn
arounds in baseball history, was voted American
League Rookie of the Year on Tuesday.
Olson got 26 first-place votes and two seconds from a
28-member panel of the Baseball Writers Association of
America for 136 points. Kansas City Royals pitcher
Tom Gordon got one first, 19 seconds and five thirds
for 67 points. Seattle Mariners outfielder Ken Griffey
Jr. got one first, two seconds and 10 third for 21 points.
Baltimore third baseman Craig Worthington was
fourth with 16 points, followed by California Angels
pitcher Jim Abbott with 10 points and Texas Rangers
pitcher Kevin Brown with two points.
“Gordon had a great year and you have to wonder
what would have happened if Griffey hadn’t gotten
hurt,” Olson said from Louisville, Ky. “The same with
Junior Lelix. You can’t expect something like that with
all the guys around the league who had the years that
they did. I didn’t want to get my hopes up.”
Olson, the sixth Baltimore player named Rookie of
the Year, set an AL rookie record with 27 saves, break
ing the mark of 23 by Doug Corbett in 1980. Olson’s
eight more than the rest of ALr
year. He is the first relief pitcher
s than Olson.

game over the last 11 games of last
season.
“We’ve got enough athletes now
to continue that style of play,” Met
calf said. “We were going to make
the transition (to the new offense)
this year anyway, but after we played
so poorly against TCU last year, we
decided, ‘Why wait?”’
Metcalf might have to wait a little
longer before his Aggies win the
SWC championship. A&M will have
to beat conference favorites Arkan
sas and Texas to win the crown.
Last year, Arkansas took the
championship with a 25-7 record.
Texas, with first-year Coach Tom
Penders, finished 25-9. A&M was in
fifth with a 16-14 record.
Still, if the Aggies can start the
season off the way they ’ finished it
last year, Metcalf may find himself in
the position to win his seventh SWC
championship.
The Aggies started their presea
son Tuesday night, playing Fort
Hood in Fort Hood in.an exhibition
game.
The Lady Aggies traveled to Fort
Hood also, and posted its first win in
preseason play Tuesday night, de
feating the Fort Hood Tankerettes
79-73 in Fort Hood.
A&M Coach Lynn Hickey was
pleased at the team’s first showing.
“We were a little shaky at times,
but I was pleased with our overall
performance,” Hickey said. “Our
younger players made a big impres
sion.”
The Lady Aggies received a big
performance from junior Yvonne
Hill, a transfer from Blinn College.
Hill led the Lady Aggies in scoring
with 19 points. She was 5-of-9 from
the field and 8-of-8 from the free-
throw line.
Hill also had one three-point shot
and recorded three blocked shots.

together,” Johnson said.
Right.
I don’t think the Cowboys’ de
fensive secondary could cover
SMU’s receivers, no less the best of
the NFL.
Redskins quarterback Doug Wil
liams was just having an off night.
After all, it was his first start this year
after coming off back surgery. If
Williams had been in his Superbowl
form, the score easily could have
been a repeat of the two teams’ first
meeting this season.
In that game, Washington embar
rassed Dallas 30-7.
One of the NFL’s top-rated of
fenses, the Redskins were out of
form Sunday night and the Cowboys
just happened to be lucky enough to
catch them unprepared.
So, the Cowboys went 0-8 through
the first half of the season and now
they are 1-0 at the beginning of the
second half.
Should Cowboy diehards take
heart?
Don’t hold your breath for an
other Dallas win. The Cowboys’ sec
ond half schedule is one of the
toughest in the NFL. If they are to
win another game, maybe they’ll be
able to catch another team that, like
Washington, is slightly off in their
performance level.
If they accomplished anything
this season, the Cowboys did win one
game. And what a big game they
won. The Redskin-Cowboy rivalry
may not be as intense as when both
teams were fighting for a playoff
berth, but it will always be a factor.
If the Cowboys don’t win another
game this year, that’s all right. They
humiliated the Redskins on national
television and that’s an accomplish
ment Cowboy fans everywhere can
be proud of.
But, it’s just as easy to be humbled
when a frustrated Washington fan
points out that the Cowboys still
share the worst record in the NFL
with Detroit.
Once close to

IRVING (AP) — The Dallas
Cowboys may have fumbled and
stumbled their way through an 0-
8 first half, but they’re perfect on
the second go-round and their
defense hasn’t given up a touch
down in nine quarters.
The Cowboys didn’t have a
penalty or a turnover in their 13-
3 upset of the Washington
Redskins last Sunday, six weeks
after a sloppy 30-7 loss to the
Redskins at home.
“I like playing a team that
we’ve seen Defore,” coach Jimmy
Johnson said Tuesday. “It really
helps ... you know their style and
system.”
He’ll get another chance to en
joy such a meeting when the Cow
boys visit the Phoenix Cardinals
Sunday.
Dallas lost 19-10 to the Cardi
nals at Texas Stadium Oct. 29.
But first things first.
Johnson must decide which of
his prized rookie quarterbacks
will start against the Cards: top
draft pick Troy Aikman, the
Cowboys’ opening day starter
who has been out for five weeks
with a broken index finger on his
non-passing hand, or Steve
Walsh, who helped put an NFL
game ball on Johnson’s mantle
this week and an NCAA
championship ring on his finger
in 1987.
“We’ve got to go with the quar
terback that will give us the best
chance to win,” said Johnson,
who plans to name a starter be
fore Friday’s practice.
Johnson said that Sunday’s
quarterback will be the starter for
the rest of the season.
“It’s a long-range decision as
far as I’m concerned.”
Johnson originally decided to
start Aikman against the
Redskins, then changed hismisi :
saying Aikman’s finger was s®
sore and another week of fj:
would be beneficial.
Bin Johnson said .\ikman's
jury isn’t a factor anymore, f
Some say Aikman should
the nod because he was
starter when he got hurt.
Others say Walsh ought toll
rewarded for the victory.
Johnson said he'll basehisdc
sion only on their performann!
in practice this week.
“We’ll approach that nodiffcj
ent than what we would withal
other position,” Johnson sa
“We’ll go with the best player
gives us the best chance of
ning.
“It’s obviously a close call J
cause it was a close call when j
originally made that decision. [
Walsh was only 10of30pai|| :
ing for 142 yards against ij;
Redskins.
Johnson, .however, praised41
“intangibles that fans don’t reaffi
see,” such things as “his cademf
his ability to draw the defenseT
sides, dealing with the pass ml
— these sorts of things.” I
The Cardinal^, 4-5, will be
ter their first season sweep oft®
Cowboys since 197 0.
But Johnson isn’t counting J
it.
“I like the idea of playing■
team we played just a couplf | i
weeks ago,” he said.

Redskins out of the end/. one dj
