Pardee opens canif by sounding reveill SAN MARCOS (AP) — The off season was a time of change for the Houston Oilers and coach Jack Par dee changed the time as sleepy-eyed rookies opened the Oilers training camp with an early-morning work out. “I never came to the Field in the dark before,” defensive tackle Doug Smith said. Rookies, one-year veterans and free agents answered 5:00 a.m. wa- keup calls in order to be on time for Pardee’s 7 a.m. workout, designed to avoid the intense heat. “It’s humid out there but the heat wasn’t high so they can concentrate on getting better,” Pardee said. “You just want to get great practices. It’s not an endurance contest on how to “Thank God, I don’t have taped, I can stay in another minutes,” quarterback Chuck lieb said. “But it doesn’t bothei Any later and it would really be The cooler workout times prevent first-round draft choict mar Lathon from heating up.

Smith sparks Cowboys AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — What happened to Super Bowl hero Timmy Smith and how did he get here where the NFL cellar begins? “They expected me to be John Riggins, which is something I’m not,” said Smith. “They” were the Washington Redskins. Smith was more than John Rig gins in Super Bowl XXII. For one afternoon in his brief NFL career, Smith was a superman in cleats and a helmet. Smith set a Super Bowl record with 204 yards rushing as the Redskins drummed the Denver Broncos 42-10. “It was a great day and it meant a ring and you can’t ever take it away from me,” Smith said. ITte baseball gods must be kind But Smith went from record- smashing fame to the bench the next year when an extra 25 pounds killed his quickness. He finished the season with 470 yards on 155 carries and vs protected under Plan B freeajje: He was flop in a tryout with Miami Dolphins. Finally, the talent-desperateC boys signed him.

The base ball gods, however, gave him an ideal opponent for career victory No. 300 — the Yankees. Ryan hasn’t lost to New York in 13 years and is 3-0 against them as a member of the Texas Rangers. The 1990 Yankees have the worst record in baseball and are the lowest scoring team in the American League. Ryan has already beaten them twice this season. “It’ll be fun. We faced Seaver when he got 300, and we’ll try to keep (Ryan) from doing it,” said the Yankees’ Don Mattingly. ‘Tie’ll get it, but hopefully not against us.” Seaver wasn’t the only pitcher to find the Yankees accommodating for No. 300; Gaylord Perry got his against them, too. Box seats were being scalped for as high as $175 for Wednesday night’s game at Arlington Stadium when Ryan would bid to become the 20th pitcher in major league history to reach 300 victories. At a Tuesday afternoon news con ference, Ryan admitted he was a little nervous, saying “I guess any body would be with the buildup. I’m feeling a little pressure, a little anxi ety.” Ryan said he hopes he doesn’t miss the turn into the stadium on Wednesday — like he did a year ago, before the game in which he struck out his 5,000th batter. He was con centrating so hard on how he would pitch to Oakland batters that he passed the street he was supposed to turn on. History indicates to win the 300th game you have to go all the way. Only Early Wynn and Steve Carlton failed to go the distance. Wynn lasted five innings and Carlton pitched eight. Don Sutton was the last to win 300, in 1986. Ryan said Tuesday he hopes he can pitch a complete game. “I want it to be my best personal performance, but I don’t want to try to do more than I can,” he said. “If we have to win it going to the bull pen, then that’s what we’ll do.” Ryan used only 77 pitches in win ning No. 299 with a 5-3 victory over Detroit but pulled himself out of the I’ll be fun. We faced Seaver when he got 300, and we’ll try to keep Ryan from doing it. He’ll get it, but hopefully not against us.” —Don Mattingly, New York Yankee game because of another flare up of the stress fracture in his back. The 43-year-old Ryan altered his routine this week because of the back and sore Achilles problem. “I didn’t push it when I threw on the side,” Ryan said. “The way my back has been acting, I decided not to throw as long as I normally do. I don’t want to aggravate anything.” The Texas bullpen has been in consistent since ace reliever Jeff Rus sell hurt his arm earlier in the year. The Rangers went through four relievers before Kenny Rogers saved No. 299 for Ryan as Texas almost blew a 5-0 lead. “It would be special to save for Nolan, particularly at hom Rogers said. “Of course, you’d Ik it from the fans if you didn't.” Ryan said he hopes to win for: home fans and said, "When ll walk out of the stadium, I wanttk to be glad they paid to see mepitd Ryan’s pass list will be about with his immediate family p friends coming all the wayfromt ifornia. “Win or lose, I’ll get together) my friends after the game,” R' said. Ryan will go against Dave LaPo who joked, “I don’t understand this fuss over my 79th victory.’Li oint is 78-82 lifetime. “I’m not worried about hiu never thought he was a very gi hitter,” LaPoint cracked. More riously, he added, ‘He’s pitchedi! long, and to throw as hardashedf and as strong as he is now is unbefl vable.” LaPoint hasn’t pitched againsti Rangers this year and is 5-7 agi Texas during his career.

As the three stumbled through the opening dialogue, it was appar ent that the Jimmy Johnson Show was in deep trouble. I started draw ing parallels between the demise of the Cowboys and Johnson’s show. I remember a kinder, gentler Dal las organization. When anything done in conjunction with the Cow boys was surrounded in an aura of class (with the exception of the afo- remetioned cheerleader movie). The Tom Landry Show was quiet, like the man. The show was not overpowering, yet the team was. Things were subtle, not show-boaty. And the Cowboys were winners. Enter the villian —Jerry Jones. He had good intentions. We all wanted the same things — a Cowboy team that was winning the NFC East, NFL titles and maybe even a few Su per Bowls. Maybe the problem lies in the fact that I’m an Aggie and Jones is a hog, as in University of Arkansas ho g- After limping through his First year as the Cowboys’ owner, Jones must have decided that a little Holly wood was all the ailing Cowboys needed. So, he revamped all Land ry’s and former general manager Tex Schramm’s media blitzes. Out with the class and in with the glitz. Who, but a former Razorback, would have thought of a video diary of a player attending training camp.
