perity.
The Cow
boys overcame
their Meadow-
lands malaise
by defeating
the Giants 34-
28, giving John
son his first vic-
Johnson
tory in the Big Apple. He had lost
to the New York Giants three
times and the New York Jets once
in previous visits to the stadium.
But after taking a 34-0 third-
quarter lead, Dallas had to hang
on for the six-point victory.
"We've got a young team and
when we got a big lead against
New York (Giants) we didn't
know how to react,'' Johnson
said. "Maybe we'll know how to
handle it the next time."
Said quarterback Troy Aikman,
"I think we learned a big lesson.
We took things for granted and it
almost came back to get us."
Dallas defensive coordinator
Dave Wannstedt said the Cow
boys relaxed and couldn't regain
intensity.
"We all felt it was in hand, the
coaches, the players, all of us,"
Wannstedt said.
"We thought it was over," Aik
man said. "This could be a good
thing for us in the long run. It was
a good lesson for us."
The Cowboys are back at Texas
Stadium Sunday and the odds-
makers have made Dallas a 13-
point favorite over Phoenix,
which lost starting quarterback
Timm Rosenbach with a shoulder
injury against Philadelphia.
Johnson said the Giant come
back should serve as a positive
learning experience.
"It tested our character," John
son said. "We came out of it
alive."
Although the Cowboys were
11-5 last season, they never had
many big leads. The biggest mar
gin of victory was 27-7 over
Phoenix.
"We just got tight when the Gi
ants started their comeback," said
offensive coordinator Norv Turn
er. "I guess you can't help a let
down when you get up 34-0. We
weren't going conservative on of
fense but we just couldn't get
things going. It was a strar
game."
Dallas was spared theeml
rassment of blowing the big
lead in NFL history. The New
leans Saints once blew a 357||
to San Francisco.
"We were glad togetom
there alive," Johnson said.
"This is good a lessonalq
losing intensity as you areg
to get," said wide recei
Michael Irvin.
After meeting Phoenix on5;
day, the Cowboys will have
off-week before meeting the
gles in Dallas' second Mt®
night game of the year.
The Cowboys, 2-0 for the!
time since 1986, haven't starte;
season 3-0 since 1983.

LUBBOCK —Texas Tech coach
Spike Dykes said Monday he's
proud of the way his team over
came an early 10-point deficit to
defeat Wyoming.
But he doesn't want coming
from behind to become a habit.
Texas Tech fell back 17-7 early
in the first half against the Cow
boys but rebounded with a 49-32
shootout victory Saturday night.
"It was impressive to me that
when we fell behind by 10, we
didn't start blaming and finger
pointing. If you're not careful, you
get down and start feeling sorry
for yourself," Dykes said at his
weekly press conference. "The
guys relaxed and showed the con
fidence and leadership it takes to
win."
Dykes added, "But we have
got to get a lot better early in the
ball game."
Tech's sixth-year coach had
plenty of praise for standout of
fensive performances by quarter
back Robert Hall, receiver Lloyd
Hill and running back Byron
"Bam" Morris.
Hall threw for 349 yards and
two touchdowns without an inter
ception. Most of the passes were
going to Hill, who caught 12 for
222 yards, tying the school record
for receptions in a game. Morris
ran for 107 yards and three scores.
"Offensively, we played a heck
of a ball game," Dykes said. "We
overcame 100 yards in penalties
and just kept plugging. We had
way too many penalties (12). We
need to get better in that area."
Dykes said he wasn't worried
about his defense right now.
"You are going to have games
where you are going to have to
just outscore peopleTDykes said.
"If you have got some mastodons
on defense that are fast
mastodons, you might be able to
dc:
shut some people out. Bull
you're ^oing to see many30
games."
Tech improved to 1-1 andn:
faces Oregon (0-2) on them
Saturday. The Ducks, of thtfPa;
ic 10 Conference, defeated thei;
Raiders 28-13 in Lubbockii
year.
Dykes said his players have
forgotten the loss.
"Having played themaji
ago makes a lot of different!
Dykes said. "Them beatingui
Lubbock even makes more din
ence and then us playing as®
as we played, you know, we
not play very well."

chasing Babe Ruth's career home
run record, he received moun
tains of ugly, hateful letters dur
ing a time when our country was
supposedly evolving into a more
harmonious state.
If possible, Robinson's experi
ences were even worse than
what Aaron went through, due
to the magnitude of the majors
during the late 40's. The 16
teams in existence at that time
were the primary focus of many
Americans, who fanatically fol
lowed the sport in a way not
seen very often today. To have
Robinson come in and cause a
disruption was a heinous act,
and many fans vilified Brooklyn
general manager Branch Rickey
and his newest star as a result.
Thankfully, Robinson and
those who followed in his foot
steps — Larry Doby, Roy Cam-
panella, Don Newcombe —
inched their way into the good
graces of the public, not to men
tion their teammates. Ex-Negro
Leaguers helped teams win pen
nants, a trait that helped break
down locker room prejudice. In
this regard, the Dodgers, as well
as Doby's Indians, became stan
dard bearers for how major
league teams should be run.
So how can Robinson's ac
complishments go unappreciat
ed less than a half-century later?
Ignorance is the only feasible an
swer, for many people have ab
solutely no inkling as to what
Robinson means to baseball.
Perhaps no other instance bet
ter illustrates this ambivalence
than what Aaron described in
his book about the 1972 World
Series between Oakland and
Cincinnati. Robinson was recog
nized for his brilliant career dur
ing a pre-game ceremony, only
to be shunned by many of the
Oakland players, blacks includ
ed, as he waited to meet them in
the dugout.
Whether those players real
ized that they were effectively
spitting in his face or not, Robin
son's death a short time later
should have emphasized to them
how much their playing lives
were affected by one of the few
men to buck the baseball system
in a good way. But like so many
other positive events in profes
sional baseball, it would have
been too little, too late.
Blair leads Houston
past San Francisco, 5-
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON-Willie Blair made
his case for more work as a
starter. Roger Craig, for one, was
impressed.
"I liked him. He's got a good
arm and we had him clocked at
90-93. He's got a good slider and
a good cutter too. He shut us out
once before in relief," the San
Francisco manager said after Blair
allowed only an infield single in
six innings to lead the Houston
Astros over the Giants 5-0 on
Monday night.
Darren Lewis beat out an in
field roller in the fourth for the
only hit off Blair (5-6), who was
lifted for a pinch-hitter in the
sixth after striking out seven and
walking two. It was Blair's first
win as a starter this season in five
starts.
"You can see this guy's got
good stuff and he was around the
plate. His record isn't too good
but you can't always go by that,"
Craig said. "We've seen a lot of
