Page 4 The Battalion Wednesday, July 31,19; Cowboys like Wright's stuff AUSTIN (AP) — Wide re ceiver Alexander Wright picked up Monday where he left oft in Sunday night's 24-6 scrimmage victory over the Houston Oil ers, grabbing a 29-yard touch down during a two-minute drill to highlight the Dallas Cow boys' afternoon practice. The second-year player had four catches for 102 yards Sun day, including a 46-yard touch down. Both the touchdown pass and total yardage rep resented personal NFL bests for Wright, whose rookie year was a virtual bust. "If I'm catching the ball bet ter, it's because I'm more confi dent and comfortable with each and every day," Wright said. "This is what I want to do and this is what I need to do." Wright missed all of last year's camp in a contract hold out, then caught only 11 passes during the season. During the off-season, he began to make strides toward becoming a com petent NFL receiver. "This isn't a surprise to us," coach Jimmy Johnson said. "He's caught the ball like that during all of off-season work and in the early part of training camp." No one has ever questioned Wright's speed. A college sprinter at Auburn, he was timed during the off-season un der 4,1 seconds in the 40-yard dash. ....

But he didn't. It was enough to get out of former coach Jerry Glan- ville's doghouse and prove he could play in the NFL. "I don't look at it like T told you so,' it's just a matter of going out and taking advantage of the op portunity," Johnson said. "I wouldn't say I was surprised. I knew I could excel in this league. It was just a matter of getting the chance to show it. "It's just unfortunate that I had to wait five years to get a chance to get out there." Johnson was the Oilers' first- round selection in 1985 but missed his rookie training camp because of a contract dispute. Johnson was never able to impress Glanville and spent five years languishing on special teams with an occa sional start. New coach Jack Pardee took a fresh look at Johnson and gave him a fulltime chance at cor nerback to demonstrate his skills. The results have been pleasing, team officials say. Johnson started all 16 regular season games and led the AFC with eight interceptions, returning one 30 yards for a touchdown against Cincinnati. Having trouble with that speech?

AUSTIN (AP) — Babe Laufen berg, a fan favorite who lost his appeal with the coaches when he failed in the final season game against Atlanta last year, was re leased by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, the eighth time he has been cut in his NFL career. Laufenberg hadn't taken a snap in two scrimmages against the Houston Oilers in training camp and said last week "you'd nave to be a blind man not seeing the handwriting on the wall." Coach Jimmy Johnson said vet eran Cliff Stoudt is the front-run ner over rookie Bill Musgrave in the competition for the role as Troy Aikman's backup. Johnson has said he may keep only two quarterbacks this season. Johnson said he released Lau fenberg, whose only Cowboys start was a 26-7 thrashing by the Atlanta Falcons in Dallas' final f ame of the 1990 regular season, ecause Laufenberg had no chance of making the team. "We felt it would be in Babe's best interest, because he wasn't getting a lot of work," Johnson said. "This gives him an opportu nity to catch on with another club if there's an opening around the league. I didn't think it was fair to Babe to have him here in camp not working just for insurance pur poses." Johnson said the backup job is Stoudt's to lose. "It wasn't anything that Babe didn't do," Johnson said. "In final analysis, it was the peit mance of Cliff Stoudt." Stoudt completed 11 of passes for 134 yards and t, touchdowns in last Thursday; 30 scrimmage tie against the Ho, ton Oilers. Laufenberg said it became; parent early in camp thathet the odd man out. "This is just a formality," H fenberg said as he prepared leave the Cowboys' camp at; Edward's University. "I was getting time in practices or; scrimmages. I wasn't compe: for a job so maybe it's just well." Laufenberg has been withfe different teams since he , drafted by the Washing! Redskins in the sixth round of* 1983 draft. Stoudt was signed by Dallas the close of the 1990 season as ; emergency quarterback after As man went down with a separa: shoulder. He dressed as Laufenbei; backup in the finale against lanta as Laufenberg strugg through a 10-of-24 afternoon.!: defeat was a crippling blow toft las' hopes for a wild card pla spot. "I think the coaches lostm: dence in me after that," Lai berg said. "I just wish I'd ■ more of a chance." RICHARD S.

ARLINGTON (AP) — The Texas Rangers said they plan to decide Wednesday whether to place No lan Ryan on the disabled list for the second time this season be cause of a shoulder injury. Ryan will miss at least one start and may throw only twice in the first two weeks of August because of muscle spasms in his right shoulder, the Rangers said Tues day. "He has not been placed on the disabled list. He will be re-eval uated when he gets to Chicago," said Rangers spokesman Larry Kelly. "At that time, if there's no improvement in his status, it's un likely that he will pitch on the cur rent road trip." The Rangers closed out a two- game series Tuesday with Boston and will play at Chicago on Wednesday. Manager Bobby Valentine has decided not to use Ryan in the pitcher's next scheduled start Fri day at Milwaukee. Valentine said he wants Ryan to pitch next Mon day and again Aug. 12, the first and last days of the upcoming homes tand. "A determination will be made tomorrow on whether he will be placed on the disabled list or how long he will be out of action," Kelly said Tuesday. "He will sit down and talk with the trainers, and be examined," Kelly said. "He will talk with Val entine about it." Baseball's all-time strikeout leader has been bothered by the injury most of the season. Ryan walked away from Sunday's start against Detroit after 5 13 innings because of stiffness in his shoul der. The pitcher's condition showed little improvement during his weight-litting session Monday in Arlington. "It could've been better," Ryan said. "Maybe it'll be better, but with the way it felt today (Mon day), I don't know." The Rangers also report that re liever Jeff Russell has tendinitis in his right elbow, but will try to pitch through the condition. They said Bobby Witt will return to the rotation Thursday for a start against Chicago. DALLAS (AP) — A second in vestors group is courting the Dal las Sidekicks soccer franchise, an official with the team said Tues- day. The group of three to five inves tors, most from the Dallas area, scheduled a 2 p.m. meeting Tues day with partners of Events Inc., which would run the team. The Sidekicks, which folded in April after a poor season and sag ging attendance, have until Thurs day to post a $350,000 letter of credit, the Major Soccer League said. "We will know later this af ternoon how it's going," said Mi chael Halbrooks, partner of Dallas- based Events. "We are hopeful that this group will step forward and help us." He said he could not name the group's members. "I haven't met all of them yet," he said. "I don't know who all of them are." TANK ItPNAMAILT Texas A&M to host tennis tournament From staff and wire reports Texas A&M's Omar Smith Tennis Center has been chosen as the site of the 1991 Championship Excellence Tournament which will be held from September 7-8. The tour nament features Texas' top 16 boys and ^irls (ages 14-180 in the Championship Division. Larry Warren, Excellence Chairman for the Texas Tennis Association, said Texas A&M was chosen as the site for the tournament because of commu nity support from Bryan and College Station. Traditionally, only the major cities in Texas have played host to the tournament, and Texas A&M will be the first South west Conference school to host it. "The tournament has usually been held in larger cities, and I had been hoping to move it into some smaller communities," Warren said. "A group ap proached me on the possibility of having the tournament in College Station. I told them ill recieved some letters in support of the tournament, I would con sider it. "1 recieved a lot of letters," he said. "I believe Bryan and Col lege Station are truly interested in junior tennis and that they will come out and support the tournament." Texas A&M women's tennis head coach Bobby Kleinecke, who will also serve as Tourna ment Director, said the Omar Smith Tennis Center is an excel lent site for the tournament be cause of its recently upgraded facilities and A&M's experience with tournaments. Texas A&M's Omar Smith Tennis Center was the site of the 1991 Southwest Conference Tennis Championships last spring- ......
