It was a cold,
windy January
Jday when
■Arkansas duke
i Jerry Jones rolled
Into Dallas with
this saddlebag of
jgold and held up
the Cowboys front office. The little old
Texas town could do nothing to stop
him.
Jones forced out “Big Tex” Schramm
and town favorite Tom Landry and
replaced them with himself and his long
time sidekick Jimmy Johnson, who had
been stirring up trouble out in Florida,
ones, Johnson and their gang made a
otof promises but found them hard to
keep.
Times were hard for the two newest
Texans. The people didn’t take to their
kind of folk. The town, heck, the whole
state, reacted to Schramm’s and
Landry’s ousting as if it were some kind
of bangin’. Johnson found the doors of
the local saloon slammed in his
sunbeaten face. Jones’ southern drawl
couldn’t even win him a shot of whisky at
the bar.
But the two sidekicks forged on. They
went out in search of people who could
help their cause. They hired out the
fastest gun in the West in an Oklahoma
boy named Troy Aikman. They already
had the services of someone named
Herschel who Texans thought was the
strongest man in the state. Things were
conna change, darn it. The long
drought in Texas was nearing its end.
But trouble still lay on the horizon. So
- the two amigos put their heads together
and came up with a dustball of a plan.
Johnson told his buddy they could
supplement the gang with a boy he knew
in Miami named Steve Walsh, who had
quite a reputation as a leader. Jones blew
a bowl full of wooden nickels to get
Walsh, and the town immediately
wanted to know who Johnson was going
to deputize as his main man.
Jones and Johnson also used some of
Landry’s leftovers in “Wild Bill” Bates

Dykes hoping for rain, snow
Tech must find way to disarm UH Run-and-Shoot
Spike Dykes

Houston quarterback David Klingler had no problem stepping in for Andre
Ware in the Cougars’ opening season win against UNLV. Texas Tech coach
Spike Dykes said he hopes Klingler has a bit harder time against the Raiders.
LUBBOCK (AP)
—Texas Tech coach
Spike Dykes is call
ing upon any means
possible to disarm
the pigskin grenades
of Houston’s aerial
assault —even the
weather.
“Maybe we could
get rain or snow or
maybe we could get
a 40 mile per hour
wind blowing,”
Dykes said. “That
might help.”
Houston’s air attack was slowed by a driv
ing snowstorm when the two teams met in
Lubbock two years ago. Barely able to find
the goal line, the Cougars shoveled their
way into the end zone late in the fourth
quarter for a 30-29 victory.
The Red Raiders and 18th ranked Cou
gars kick off the Southwest Conference sea
son Thursday night in a game televised na
tionally on ESPN. Kickoff is 7:07 p.m.
CDT.
It will mark the first live television ap
pearance in over three years for Houston,
who is coming off NCAA probation.
Texas Tech linebacker Charlie Rowe
fears the Cougars may want to show off.
“They are going to try and show the
country what the run-and-shoot is all
about,” he said. “Hopefully, they won’t be
able to use us as an example.”
The scoreboard-busting offense, master
minded by Cougar coach John Jenkins, av
eraged 53.5 points and 511 yards passing
per game in 1989.
Houston became known as the “best
team never seen” due to the television
blackout. But the lack of exposure could
not keep the Heisman Trophy from Andre
Ware, who smashed 26 NCAA passing and
total offense records.
Houston, now led by quarterback David
Klingler, defeated Nevada-Las Vegas, 37-9,
Saturday and Dykes noticed no dropoff
from last year’s pass-crazy offense.
“It’s scary when they get to rolling be
cause they don’t ever huddle,” he said.
“You don’t know whether to send some
body in or aot send somebody in. And boy,
when they line up under that center, (the
receivers) scatter like a covey of quail.”

Glanville takes
‘jerk’ remark
back about Pardee
HOUSTON (AP) — After calling
Houston Oilers coach Jack Pardee a
‘Jerk,’ and after Pardee responded by
saying Glanville ought to know a jerk
when he saw one, Glanville has reconsid
ered. Now, he’s calling himself ajerk.
The Houston Post reported Wednes
day that Glanville, who coached the Oil
ers until the end of last season, is apol
ogizing for comments about Pardee and
insists he was not refering to the state of
Texas on Sunday when he said “Texas
can kiss my butt.”
Glanville’s initial comments came in
the aftermath of his Falcons’ 47-27
thrashing of the Oilers in the NFL sea
son-opener for both teams.
Glanville told reporters he was send
ing the game ball to the 1989 Southern
Methodist University football team that

A’s cruise by
Mariners, 9-3
SEATTLE (AP) — Rookie Dan Howitt’s
first major league hit, an RBI triple, ignited
Oakland’s five-run sixth inning as the Ath
letics beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 Wednes
day.
Scott Sanderson (16-9) matched his ca
reer high for victories, set with Montreal in
1980.
Sanderson went six innings, allowing six
hits and three runs.
Ken Griffey Jr. drove in his 40-year-old
father, Ken Sr., for the first time since Ken
Sr. arrived in Seattle on Aug. 29.
Griffey Jr. homered after his dad walked
in the first inning.
The Athletics sent nine batters to the
plate in the sixth, scoring five runs to break
a 3-3 tie.
Two of the runs were unearned because
of second baseman Harold Reynolds’
throwing error, one of three by the Mari
ners.
Mike Gardiner (0-1), who started for the
first time in the majors, was the loser.

j “Macintosh practically eliminates the need to keep
manuals next to my computer, because-regardless
of which program I’m using-I can open, close, save, and
print files in exactly the same way. And you can’t say
that about any other computer.
“Today lots of other computers are attempting to look and
work like a Macintosh, but it’s just not possible. They’re
too fundamentally different to begin with. This
may sound a little strange, but comparing a
Macintosh to other computers is like com
paring apples to oranges. You can
squash the orange into shape and
paint it to look like an apple, but
, underneath the makeup, it’s
, v still an orange.
“It’s funny-1 work at the
Vanderbilt computer store and
I’ve seen lots of people switch
from other computers to
Macintosh, but I’ve never
seen anybody with a
Macintosh switch to
another computer.”
