BioLogica RESEARCH GROUP, INC. 776-0400 Page 8 Texas A&M SPORTS The Battalion Tuesday, October^ Walker, Eagles run by Dallas in Monday night showdown Tues< THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA -Before Monday night's showdown, Her- schel Walker niftly dodged in quiries about his desire for re venge against the Dallas Cow boys for trading him. Then he went out and niftly dodged the Cowboys, scoring touchdowns on runs of 9 and 16 yards and rushing for 86 yards on 19 carries as he and the Philadelphia defense combined to beat Dallas 31-7 in a battle of the NFC's last two unbeatens. That defense, led by lineback ers Seth Joyner, Byron Evans and William Thomas, got four turnovers — three interceptions and a fumble recovery that led to three touchdowns and denied the Cowboys another. The Eagles broke away with three touch downs in the final 20 minutes. It was just another chapter in the sad saga of Dallas quarter back Troy Aikman against the Eagles, who now lead the NFC East at 4-0, while the Cowboys fell to 3-1. Aikman, sacked 11 times by the Eagles in Dallas last year and knocked out of a game here two years ago with a separated shoul der, was flushed from the pocket by Reggie White on the first play of the game and forced to ground the ball, setting a pattern that continued throughout. Two plays later, John Booty picked off a pass over the mid dle, returned it to the 14 and set up a 2-yard bootleg for a TD by Randall Cunningham four plays later. The Cowboys came back to tie it on a 7-yard pass from Aikman to Kelvin Martin and the Cow boys took a 10-7 lead on Roger Ruzek's 40-yard field goal with 1:34 left in the first quarter. Then came perhaps the crucial turnover. With Dallas at third-and-goal at the Eagles 2, Aikman rolled right, threw toward the end zone and the ball was deflected by Thomas into the hands of Wes Hopkins on the goal line. Then, with it still 10-7 midway through the third quarter, Aik man hit Alvin Harper for 42 yards to the Philadelphia 44. On the next play, Joyner hit Aik- man's arm as he threw and Evans picked off the ball and took it back 12 yards to the Dal las 45. Eight plays later. Walker put it to the team that traded him to the Minnesota Vikings three years ago for 12 players and draft choices, as he went 9 yards into the end zone to make it 17-7. He got his second TD early in the fourth quarter after Evans knocked the ball loose fro® Daryl Johnston and Thomas, i former Texas A&M standoci linebacker, came out of a scrans ble with the ball at the Philadel phia 48. Four plays later, with thebal at the 16, Walker broke left,o: back and into the end zone,rait ing the ball above his headani simulating a spike, aboutas much emotion as he ever shows Walker also caught three passe for 14 yards. Aikman finished 19of38fai 256 yards, but 101 cameonjust two passes — a 59-yarderto Michael Irvin set up Dallas'oalt TD. He was sacked four times the third of which set up a short punt and Keith Byars' 12-yaii run for the final TD with3:041eft Cunningham was 11 ofl9foi 124 yards and rushed for yards in seven carries.' Mackovic, Texas not stressed over Sooners Rangers' season turns sour THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN — Texas coach John Mackovic said Monday that his Longhorns are preparing for Mackovic this week's showdown with 16th- ranked Okla homa just like any other game. “The impor tant thing about a game like this is not to let your surroundings be part of the game,” Mackovic told his weekly news conference. “The surroundings are like the icing on a cake: they're sweet but without the cake itself they can leave a bad taste in your mouth," he said. At the same time, Mackovic said he expected the festivities that surround the annual grudge match at the Cotton Bowl in Dal las to have an impact on his squad, now 2-2 overall, and 1-0 in Southwest Conference play fol lowing Saturday's 23-21 victory against Rice. “I don't think you can go into a game like this and not have some different feelings," he said. “The emotion from the crowd and the stadium itself will be a factor. Everywhere you go you face rivalries, but there are only five or 10 around the nation that the entire country keeps an eye on, and this game is one of those," he said. Oklahoma enters Saturday's game at 3-1 on the heels of a 17-3 victory over Iowa State. This year's game features two quarterbacks ranked among the best in the nation in passing effi ciency — Texas' Peter Gardere at No. 8, and Oklahoma's Cale Gundy at No. 3. Both teams are averaging more yardage via the pass than the run, a statistic that is a depar ture from the norm. Mackovic said the passing suc cess “is a tremendous story about the changes that are happening in college football, especially from two teams that were among the most reluctant to change." “I don't think Oklahoma will come into this game with run ning as a basic premise because they have had too much success with what they are doing now to change just for us. If we were do ing a great job stopping the pass, it might be a different story," he said. ARLINGTON— A season of promise turned so sour for the Texas Rangers that they fired manager Bobby Valentine in July. Seven seasons of poor fielding, bad baserunning, too many walks and bad clutch hitting finally took its toll at the top. Once again, the Rangers failed to be contenders in September in the tough American League West. They did shake up the baseball world, though, with the Jose Canseco trade orchestrated by general manager Tom Grieve. The deal sent outfielder Ruben Sierra, reliever Jeff Russell and pitcher Bobby Witt to the champion Oak land A's for one of major league baseball's most productive slug- Y gers. There was even some) news. Juan Gonzalez becametki first Ranger to lead thema leagues in homers with 43. Al Kevin Brown won 21 games,! first Ranger to win 20 games si: Ferguson Jenkins in 1973. Things weren't as rosy into field or in home games at Arif ton Stadium. The club led the majorsinff rors at shortstop, catcher and to outfield.

The 1 mg a ca or engi the mei Norwood Continued From Page 7 More important for the NHL, however, is Gil Stein, the league's new president and savior-in waiting. In Stein's short reign, he has been instrumental in developing stricter anti-fighting rules. From now on, players who instigate fights are automatically ejected for the rest of the game. And high sticking penalties will be en forced when players are hit above the waist, instead of just above the shoulders. Stein's initial anti-fighting ef forts, along with his role in the ESPN deal, helped to show just how ineffective outgoing presi dent John Ziegler was. The NHL spun its wheels like a Zamboni with bald tires under Ziegler's reign. Stein has already proven he is out to change that. While Stein holds down the fort, the true drama this year will come about on the ice and not in the front offices. Hull once again will be look ing to reach 100 goals as he takes over as the NHL's top star. Pitts burgh's Jaromir Jagr (say that three times fast) will get another chance to defy gravity with his acrobatic sticking. Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Phil Esposito picked up female goalie Manon Rheaume as a publicity stunt, but it turns out that she can flat-out play'. The New York Rangers, who haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1940, will again field a powerhouse led by Mark Messier, hockey's version of Joe Montana. And the Pen guins will be out to challenge the Chicago Bulls as the strongest dy nasty in professional team sports as they try to grab their third straight Cup. The most interesting figure in the NHL this year will be the Fly ers' Eric Lindros, the most fawned-over player to enter a major professional league in years. After refusing to play for the hapless Quebec Nordiques, Lin dros was traded to Philly for five proven players, a 1993 first round draft pick and $15 million. With that kind of investment, Lindros will have to produce now, or the merciless Philadelphia fans will send him out of town with his ego in tatters. The only dark cloud hanging over the league is the fate of Gret zky, whose nagging back injury is more serious than anyone thought last year. Gretzky is the NHL's ambas sador, the man who brought real hockey to Los Angeles and intro duced the sport to an audience previously thought impenetrable, But with the worst possible in jury that can happen to a hockey 1 player, the forecast for Gretzky's return in the regular season is hazy at best. But enough bad news. Look at the bright side. The NHL's San Jose Sharks have the baddest uni forms in any sport, with the Lightning running a close sec ond. And although fighting will be held down, there are still goons out there, and they will still be fun to watch. Besides, who couldn't enjoy the favorite sport of Blackhawk fans Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar? Game on!
