Smith leads Cowboys to second victory
Dallas defeats Phoenix, 17-9
TEMPE, (AP) - Emmitt
Smith raced to first-quarter touch
downs of 60 and 12 yards Sunday
night, helping the Dallas Cowboys
to a 17-9 victory over the Phoenix
Cardinals.
Smith, who had 182 yards on
23 carries, gained 37 on a run late
in the game, leading to Ken Willis'
41-yard field goal.
It was the first success for
Willis, who missed attempts of 48,
52, and 45 yards earlier. But it was
enough to clinch the victory.
Phoenix had closed the gap to
14-6 by halftime before the defens
es took over as a thunderstorm
hammered the area of Sun Devil
Stadium with a spectacular light
ning display and brief rain.
Robert Williams and Jim Jeff-
coat sacked Tom Tupa in the sec
ond half, killing drives at crucial
points.
Jeffcoat's sack was the biggest
play for the Cowboys after half
time. It came after the Cardinals
had driven to a first down at the
Dallas 17-yard line.
The 9-yard loss forced the Car
dinals (2-2) to settle for 29-yard
field goal from Greg Davis, who
scored all of his teams points.
Davis kicked two field goals of 32
yards in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, the Cardi
nals appeared to have some mo
mentum before Dallas lineman
Tony Tolbert separated Tupa from
the ball. Cardinals running back
Tim Jorden recovered.
But, two snaps later, Dallas (2-
2) made it stick when Williams
sacked Tupa and forced a fumble.
Tony Casillas recovered on the
Phoenix 41 to kill the threat.
Smith silenced the crowd of
68,814 on the Cowboys' third play
when he burst through the mid
dle, bolted between attempted
arm tackles by Michael Zordich
and Tim McDonald and outran
the pursuit to the end zone.
It was only the second time in
Dallas history a back has had two
runs of 60 yards or longer.
Smith broke a 75-yarder two
weeks ago against Washington.
Tony Dorsett recorded a similar
feat in 1977.
On the next Dallas possession,
Troy Aikman missed bis first pass,
but then used throws of 6, 13 and
22 yards to fullback Daryl John
ston to give his team a first down
at the Phoenix 13-yard line.
After two plays. Smith broke
off right tackle and went into the
end zone standing up.
Oilers surprised by Patriots
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) -
These Patriots can beat someone
other than the Colts. They also can
win in sudden style against a
highly favored opponent.
Greg McMurtry's 34-yard
touchdown on a pass from ETugh
Millen with six seconds left gave
New England a 24-20 upset over
the previously unbeaten Houston
Oilers on Sunday.
The Oilers (3-1) had rallied
from a 17-6 deficit on Warren
Moon's two scoring passes to Cur
tis Duncan in the fourth quarter.
After a 5-yarder put Houston
ahead 20-17 with 1:52 left, the Pa
triots (2-2) got the ball at their 17-
yard line.
With a third-and-15 at mid-
field, Millen, making his first start
of the year, threw a 16-yard com
pletion to Michael Timpson for a
first down.
On the next play, McMurtry
caught Millen's pass up the mid
dle at the 22. McMurtry, a starter
who had just one reception in his
first three games, put a move on
free safety Mike Dumas at the 15
and angled to the right.
He raced into the corner of the
end zone for his first touchdown
in his two NFL seasons. It was the
first scoring pass of the year for
Millen, who replaced struggling
Tommy Hodson as the starter.
The victory was the Patriots'
third in 20 games and their first in
25 over a team other than Indi
anapolis.
Moon, stymied for three quar
ters, cut New England's lead to 17-
13 with 9:19 left on a 35-yard
touchdown pass to Duncan.
But Moon's 20-game streak of
completing at least half his passes
was snapped as he finished with
20 completions in 44 attempts for
268 yards and two interceptions.
Before the game, Houston was
off to its best start ever and the Pa
triots hadn't scored since the first
quarter of the season-opener. They
had gone 12 quarters and 33 pos
sessions without a touchdown un
til Jon Vaughn's 13-yard scoring
pass to Marv Cook on an option
play made the score 10-3 with 9:45
left in the second quarter.
Mickey Washington intercept
ed Moon's pass early in the second
quarter, giving New England the
ball at its 45. That set up Vaughn's
touchdown pass.
Speedway waves first checkered flags
Continued from Page 7
Chevrolet Lumina through
the field and took the lead briefly
on lap 28.
The next 70 laps saw a fierce
three-way duel between Venturi-
ni, Keselowski and Young. Ven-
turini and Keselowski eventually
plilled away from Young and
raced hard until the third round
of pit stops.
Venturini was held in the pits
by ARCA officials for 15 seconds
for driving too fast in the pits. Ke
selowski pulled out a 18-second
lead before the fourth and final
caution period on lap 141.
The yellow, brought out for
Bobby Massey's smoking Buick,
allowed Venturini to catch Ke
selowski before they both came in
for fuel and tires. Venturini took
the lead for the last time on lap
146.
Keselowski had a flat tire
which kept him from running
with Venturini.
"We put on four new tires,"
Keselowski said. "And apparent
ly the valve core or something
wasn't quite right because when
we got up to speed on the race
tires the car was getting a little
squirrely in the turns.
"The further 1 went the worse
it got and I realized we had a flat
tire and we just kind of had to
ride out the last few laps."
Keselowski said he thought he
could beat Venturini after the last
caution without the flat tire.
"I really thought we could still
beat him in twelve laps," Ke
selowski said. "He had a really
strong engine and I figured he'd
jump me on the start.
"But with twelve laps to go I
was really getting through (turns)
one and two better than he was
and I thought I'd have a chance of
running him back down before
the double (checkered flags), so it
didn't really worry me too much.
But when they did restart it I
went in that first corner and I was
in trouble then."
Fourth qualifier Eddie Bier-
schwale from San Antonio then
dueled with Venturini for what
Bierschwale said he thought was
the lead.
Venturini eventually let Bier
schwale by when Venturini fig
ured out he was a lap down. Bier
schwale ended up third in his #12
Aggie 96 Radio Oldsmobile.
Venturini said he suffered
through a pushing car and two
flat tires on the way to winning
the 156 lap race.
A pushing car means the
front tires break loose before the
rears, causing the car to go wide
in the turns and scrub off speed.
"They changed the spring rate
on the last pit stop which solved
the problem. The yellow came
out, I knew I had a shot at it."
Venturini said that his choice
of gears also helped. He said he
chose the tallest gear he had
which helped him keep his en
gine speed down. He also credit
ed his pit crew with being the
best crew there.
"We probably beat everybody
in and out of the pits," Venturini
said. "I had the right everything
today.
"I know my racing program
and I came here with the best
equipment I have with the desire
to kick their butts."
Venturini came into Sunday's
race 95 points behind Bobby Bow-
sher in the driver's champi
onship.
His win puts him ahead of
Bowsher by 15 points going into
the last race at Atlanta.
Although he says he's pleased
to be leading the driver's champi
onship, it's not that big a deal to
the 1987 champion.
"I came here to win the race,"
Venturini said. "1 didn't come
here to gain points. I knew if a
won the race. I'd gain points.
I came here to sit on the pole,
lead the most laps, and win the
race. And I'm going to do the
same going to Atlanta.
Venturini won $19,075 for his
victory.
