Briargate, Bryan TX 77802 Nabisco Championships Houston for one last hurrah HOUSTON (AP) — The $2.5 million Nabisco Cham pionships, which has been a pot of gold at the end of the PGA Tour for four years, will line the pockets of the tour’s top 30 money winners for the last time this week at Champions Golf Club. The success of the Houston Golf Association in pro ducing the Independent Insurance Agent Open at The Woodlands helped bring the tour’s richest tournament to Champions, site of the 1969 U.S. Open, for its final event. The HGA took on the task of hosting the event be fore Nabisco made a business decision to cut back about 35 percent of its budget. Most of the cutback came from advertising. “We signed on the premise that everything would be the same as it had been in the past,” said Duke Butler, executive director of the HGA. “But the powers that be above sports marketing called for a cutback on the tour nament.” The HGA also was stunned by the loss of Champions golf director Jimmy Burke, who died in May from inju ries he suffered in an auto accident. Burke was the brother of former touring pro Jack Burke, who founded Champions in 1959 with Jimmy Demaret, an other former tour great. Although Nabisco is ending its sponsorship of the event, it will continue as a $2 million final in 1991 and will be called the TOUR Championships and will be played at Pinehurst, N.C. And Butler says the HGA would consider hosting the event again. But there are several “ifs” attached. “It will be a challenge to the PGA Tour to continue the event in a similar style,” Butler said. “But if they continue to rotate the event, if we feel we do a good job, if the tournament is financially successful and Cham pions enjoys it, I think we have a good chance of host ing it again here in five years.” The first event was played at Oak Hills Country Club in San Antonio in 1987 and filled a void at the end of the tour schedule. “It was not a time of the year when a lot of people wanted to play golf in the United States,” said Wayne Robertson, senior vice president of sports marketing for RJR Nabisco. “But now the concept has proven to be very successful.” The Nabisco finale will be played on the same course where Ben Hogan played his final round of competitive golf and where Orville Moody won his only tour event, the 1969 U.S. Open. Jackie Burke said he’s happy to see the course he helped create filled with the game’s top players once again. He remembers Moody’s charge to the 1969 Open title and he remembers Hogan’s last round. Hogan hit an iron off the fourth tee into a ravine and staunchly waded in trying to retrieve the ball. In doing so, Hogan reinjured a knee that had been originally hurt in a serious auto accident. / won 7 fe/f if you won 7 tell Dallas, Philadelphia coaches refuse to talk Johnson IRVING (AP) — Dallas coach Jimmy Johnson and Philadelphia coach Buddy Ryan, who developed strong personal dislikes last season during a two-games series known as the ‘‘Bounty Bowls,” re fused Tues day to give each other bulletin board am munition in separate fo rums with the media. Johnson, who was given a snow ball salute by Eagles fans and ac cused the Eagles of trying to injure E lacekicker Luis Zendejas, couldn’t e drawn into talking about Ryan during a weekly press conference. “I’m not interested in talking about Buddy,” Johnson said. “Buddy doesn’t interest me. This is not a personal game. What’s impor tant about this game on Sunday is that the Cowboys make progress.” Johnson added, “The Eagles may be the most talented team in the NFL. Buddy said it was the best team he’s had, a playoff team.” Asked if he had sympathy for the Eagles’ slow start, Johnson said, “I haven’t paid a lot of attention to what’s happening in other parts of the country.” A reporter told Johnson there was a radio report Ryan had guaranteed a victory on Sunday in Texas Sta dium in the first meeting of the sea son between the two NFC Eastern Division rivals. “Buddy makes a lot of predic tions,” Johnson said. “People be come accustomed to them.” Ryan, in a telephone conference call to the media at Cowboys owner erry Jones’ press luncheon, denied e said any such thing. “I didn’t say a word,” Ryan said. “Dallas is too much of an improved team. There’s no way I’d guarantee anything.” Ryan, who was called “fat” by Johnson after a game last year, was asked if he would shake hands with Johnson. “I’ll be there on the 50 watching Dallas warm up like I always do,” Ryan said. The Eagles coach complimented the 3-4 Cowboys, saying “their de fense has improved a great deal and I really like (quarterback) Troy Aik- man. The Cowboys are better. They have one more win than we’ve got.” Ryan said he does not think a loss to the Cowboys might cost him his job. “I’ve done an excellent job here,” he said. “I’ve built this team from scratch. We’ve been a little snakebit this year but we’ll be in the playoffs.” The Cowboys lost both games to the Eagles last year. Zendejas, who is no longer a Cowboy, was injured in the first one and there were charges Philadelphia had a bounty for the player who could knock him out of the game.

It was sweet revenge.” S 0 girls with the Rave Ups | Saturday November 10 { 8:00 p.m. | Deware Field House | Tickets: I $10 Student ^ $12 Public W' Available at: MSC Box Office All Ticketron Outlets SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons nose tackle Tony Casillas was suspended without pay for two games on Tuesday for missing the NFL team’s flight to Los Angeles and Sunday’s game against the Rams. Coach Jerry Glanville also said Ca sillas will not be paid for the Rams’ game. Glanville met with Casillas Tues day morning at the Falcons’ training complex, but said he would not dis cuss the matter. Casillas, a five-year veteran from Oklahoma who was the Falcons’ top draft choice in 1986, could not be reached for comment. He did not return several telephone calls to his home. ^ Casillas was notified of the sus pension in a two-paragraph letter from Glanville. The letter said he will be suspended for Sunday’s game against Cincinnati and the Nov. 4 game at Pittsburgh. The suspension will end Nov. 7, when Casillas is ex pected to report for practice. Casillas missed all of this year’s training camp in a contract dispute, finally signing a $1.1 million, two- year contract on Sept. 12. He missed three games before being activated and played in the next two as a backup to rookie Tory Epps, totaling 16 tackles.
