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.

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.

revenge.”

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.
