|nce Pavlas put away the Texas
nghorns and put to rest any ques-
is about the starting quarterback
at Texas A&M University next
r.
[Pavlas, a junior who was a big
estion mark for the Aggies coming
o the 1989 season, earned The
sociated Press Southwest Confer-
|ce Offensive Player of the Week
arc! for his part in gunning down
Longhorns 21-10 on Saturday
ht.
Pavlas hit a 45-yard touchdown
ss on the final play of the third
arter that killed off the spunky
nghorns and gave coach R.C. Slo-
m an 8-3 regular season record.
[It was A&M’s first full season un
it Slocum who took over last De-
Imber after Jackie Sherrill re-
ned.
Teammate Aaron Wallace, who
sthe defensive player of the week
the first game of the season, also
rned the honor in the final week.
The Aggie linebacker made 15
kies, including three sacks for 29
|rds in losses. Wallace missed three
mes this year with injuries. Wal-
:e is a senior who finished with a

to impress the A&M coaches.
He’ll get another chance on Dec.
30 against Pittsburgh in the John
Hancock (Sun) Bowl at El Paso.
But Slocum is pleased with what
he’s seen this season.
“Lance did a tremendous job un
der pressure against Texas and he’s
done that all year long,” Slocum
said. “He’s made the plays to win
games for us. On several occasions,
he has had men in his face and he
hangs in there and completed the
pass. Every time he’s been knocked
down, he bounces right back up.”
Slocum said Pavlas has developed
into a tough competitor.
“People had him pegged as a
timid little kid who wasn’t very
tough,” Slocum said. “He’s played
very tough for us. He never ducks
the blame, and he even takes some
that he doesn’t deserve.”
Pavlas has completed almost 60
per cent of his passes this year and
has 10 touchdown passes. He’s aver
aged about 150 yards passing per
game. The only negative is his 1 1 in
terceptions.
ooners denying report
f NCAA death penalty
l fl NORMAN, OUa. (AP) — Okia-

Bat the university faces the “death
*ntv[ienalty” from allegations by a con-
/CUluBcted burglar that the school was
■ill breaking NCAA rules after
Boing on probation last y ear.
T In a copyright story Tuesday, the
Mallas Morning News reported that
NCAA investigators are looking into
several serious allegations made by
SOtha Armstrong III. T he NCAA de
clined comment on the report.
I Armstrong, 24, claims he served
as a middleman to pick up cash pay-

He also said freshman
back Dewell Brewer received illegal
benefits and at least one unofficial
paid visit to Norman before he
signed a letter of intent with the uni
versity in February.
However, Armstrong told the Da
ily Oklahoman for a story in
Wednesday’s editions that he was
misquoted by the Dallas newspaper.
The News said that according to
Armstrong, he picked up the last
money transfer in early 1989, after
the football program had been
placed on probation.
“I picked up none in 1989,” he
told the Oklahoman.
Armstrong said he relayed money
from June 1988 to late in the foot
ball season.

Austin gets Cowboys’
summer training camp
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas
Cowboys will move their training
camp to Austin next summer,
breaking a 27-year relationship
with California Lutheran Univer
sity in Thousand Oaks, Calif.,
news reports said late Tuesday.
Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones
has decided to relocate the team’s
training camp to St. Edwards
University in Austin and will pub
licly announce the move Wednes
day, according to news reports in
Austin, Dallas and Tyler.
“Mr. Jones told me that the
Cowboys would not be returning
to the Cal Lutheran campus in
the summer of 1990,” California
Lutheran President Jim Miller
told The Daily Texan. “He said
that the Cowboys were moving
their training site to somewhere
in Texas.”
The city of Tyler was also con
sidered for the camp. Jones re
cently said he was pleased by Tyl
er’s willingness to host the team.
But Austin pledged $191,000
tax dollars to improve two foot
ball fields at St. Edwards to meet
NFL standards, WFAA-TV in
Dallas reported. Corporate un
derwriting secured in “a secret
bid” will minimize the nearly
$500,000 expense the team in
curred by training in Thousand
Oaks, the station said, quoting un
named sources.
The Cowboys have two years
remaining on a contract with the
California college and Jones ear
lier said he would have the team’s
training camp in Thousand Oaks
next year.
Miller said he was surprised to
hear the Cowboys would move
the training camp, but added, “It
seems many times the Cowboys
don’t know how to do things
right.”
“Mr. Jones said that he wanted
the team back in Texas for the
people of Texas and that is a deci
sion that w’e respect,” Miller said.
“The Cowboys nave been a good
thing for us and we wish them
and the people of Austin the
best.”
Cooke said demographics in
Austin make the city attractive for
the Cowboys.
Dallas and Vail, Colo., were
also reportedly considered for
the training camp.
