The two teams meet Saturday in State College, Penn., in both team’s season opener. Penn State blocked a punt on the Longhorn 17 and Leonard Hum phries returned it for a touchdown with 6:52 left in the game to give the Nittany Lions a 16-12 victory last year in Austin. Penn State finished last year 8-3-1 with a Holiday Bowl victory. Texas wound up 5-6. “One thing I felt like we needed to be much improved on was special teams,” McWilliams said at his weekly news conference. “It made a big difference in the Penn State $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 m ASTHMA STUDY USS S 800 Individuals (12 and older) who have asthma to participate $800 in a research study. $800 incentive for those who en- $800 roll and complete study. $800 $800 K 7 $£00 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 $800 no $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE STUDY $300 Individuals with high blood pressure, either on or off blood 5300 pressure medication daily to participate in a high blood 5300 1 pressure research study. $300 incentive for those who en- $300 1 ro1 * and com P ,ete study. $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $300 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 FALL WEED ALLERGY STUDY Individuals (12 and older) to participate in a Fall Weed Allergy Study. $100 incentive for those cho sen to participate. $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 $100 CALL PAULL RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL® 776-0400 Finance VP named Rockets’ fourth president HOUSTON (AP) — E.C. “Ed” Schmidt II, the Houston Rockets’ vice president for finance, was named the fourth president in the franchise’s history, the team announced Tuesday. Rockets owner Charlie Thomas selected Schmidt as pres ident on Saturday. Schmidt suc ceeds Ray Patterson, who an nounced last week he was retiring to concentrate on a joint venture with Thomas to bring a hockey team to Houston. Patterson’s retirement was ef fective Saturday. “I think that Steve (Patterson) and Ed, having worked together the last eight years, will really complement each other with Steve handling the basketball op erations and Ed the financial mat ters of the dub,” Thomas said. “I think it will be a great combi nation. I am looking for great things from both of them,” Thomas said. Steve Patterson, Ray Patter son’s son, is the Rockets general manager — a position his father once held. Schmidt, 43, has been with the Rockets’ organization since Thomas bought the team in 1982. Most recently, he has been vice president-finance, corporate sec retary and general counsel.

And it wasn’t just the kickers.” The first thing McWilliams said he did in spring drills was name a special teams coach, Bob Boyd, in stead of spreading the responsibility. “The second thing we did was to start using starters on the special teams. The third thing was to make special teams play the first part of every practice,” McWilliams said. He said the special teams game has improved, but there are still some rough spots. McWilliams hasn’t named a start ing placekicker even though Texas started practice this summer by looking at five potential kickers. Senior Michael Poliak and fresh man Jason Ziegler were listed Mon day on the Longhorns two-deep ros ter, but McWilliams said neither has earned the starting job. McWilliams said he thought Sat urday’s game would be close. “It used to be Penn State would say ‘We’re going to get into the I-for- mation and see if you can stop us.’ I think that same kind of philosophy is still there, they are just doing it from a lot more formations,” McWilliams said. “And they are throwing the ball enough now, you have to respect them when they are in a one-back set,” he said. Same old song, new verse Yankees’ exec accuses Vincent of tainted probe NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball was dragged into the federal courts again Tuesday when a New York Yankees executive sued Fay Vincent and accused the commissioner of trying to run him and George Steinbrenner out of the game. Leonard L. Kleinman, executive vice president and chief operating ex ecutive of the Yankees, made the allegation in a $22 million lawsuit against Vincent and John M. Dowd, the commissioner’s special counsel who di rected an investigation of Steinbrenner’s dealings with gambler Howard Spira. Kleinman accused Vincent of framing him and Steinbrenner on charges they acted against the best interests of baseball and of covering up ex-Yankees outfielder Dave Winfield’s involvement with Spira. The lawsuit in Manhattan’s federal court seeks to stop Vincent from holding a hearing Thursday to determine possible disciplinary action against Kleinman. U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand will hear argu ments Wednesday on Kleinman’s request for a temporary restraining or der to block Vincent’s hearing. “Vincent’s course of conduct from the very beginning of his involve ment in this matter demonstrates that he has harbored a prejudice against Kleinman and Steinbrenner and a desire to find a way to exclude them from being involved with the Yankees,” the lawsuit said. Rich Levin, Vincent’s spokesman, did not have an immediate reaction. Steinbrenner agreed to resign as the Yankees general partner after Vincent ruled acted against the best interests of baseball by associating with Spira and paying him $40,000. Two Yankees limited partners sued in Cleveland to keep Steinbrenner in control, but a judge turned down their request for a TRO. Spira claimed Kleinman arranged a money-market account for him at the time he was paid last January. That is one of the matters Vincent wants to discuss at his hearing. “The initiation of the charges against Kleinman,” the lawsuit said, “was done in bad faith with the intent to undermine his contract with the Yan kees and to prevent him from succeeding Steinbrenner as the managing general partner of the Yankees.” The lawsuit alleged that Vincent and Dowd conducted an unfair and biased investigation and that Dowd tampered with transcripts of witnesses. Dorsett itching to solve Dallas woeful running game problems DALLAS (AP) — Tony Dorsett says the Dallas Cowboys can solve their running game problems by bringing him back to the team. “They don’t have a running back out there that can do what I can do,” Dorsett, $6, said in Tues day’s editions of the Dallas Times Herald. Dorsett, the Cowboys’ all-time leading rusher with 12,036 yards and No. 2 on the NFL’s all-time rushing list with 12,739 yards, has recovered from the knee liga ments he tore in training camp last year with the Denver Bron cos. He retired last season. “There’s no doubt in my mind I could play for the Cowboys right now,” he said. Dorsett still is rankling over an abortive tryout he received with the Cowboys last month, when he was invited to Valley Ranch. Cow boys’ pro personnel director John Wooten liked what he saw, but coach Jimmy Johnson nixed a Dorsett return to Dallas. “Suj would for the younger guys, which I didn’t quite understand. They don’t have many veterans on that team right now, and I guess he thought the type of veteran I was over the years would not be con ducive to his way of coaching,” Dorsett said. ipposedly, Jimmy thought I 1 be too intimidating a factor “I’m my own man and some times I’ll say things that may be right and may not be. My think ing is that Jimmy wants more young guys that he can have con trol over.’’ Dorsett said the workout was improperly handled. “If (Johnson) wasn’t interested, I didn’t have to go out there and workout. He could have just told me he wasn’t interested and 1 would have said OK,” he said. Dorsett also is angry because free-agent running back Timmy Smith is wearing No. 33 — Dor- sett’s old number. “I mean, I don’t see Roger (Staubach’s) number out there running up and down the field, and I can put myself on the same level as Roger Staubach as Far as what I brought to the Cowboys’ organization over the years,” he said.
