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

two passes — a 59-yarderto
Michael Irvin set up Dallas'oalt

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,!

Ferguson Jenkins in 1973.
Things weren't as rosy into

rors at shortstop, catcher and to
outfield. Even more, the Rangcn
just barely managed to avoidt

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?
