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.
