Toronto wins

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND, Calif. - Never let
it be said again that the Toronto
Blue Jays are chokers.
Criticized for years as the best
team in baseball that could not
win a big game, the Blue Jays
made one of the biggest come
backs in playoff history Sunday,
stunning Oakland 7-6 in 11 in
nings.
Officially, Pat Borders' sacrifice
fly in the 11th was the game-win-
ner and capped the first-ever rally
from a five-run decifit in a playoff
game. But this one will forever be
remembered for Roberto Alo
mar's shocking, two-run homer
off Dennis Eckersley in the ninth
that tied it.
Alomar's homer accounted for
the biggest turnaround in a ma
jor-league game since Kirk Gib
son's homer in the 1988 World Se
ries, also off Eckersley. And, more
importantly, it gave Toronto a 3-1
edge in the series.

Polen spends his days as a traveling man
By RICHARD S. JAMES
Sports Writer fur THE BATTALION
The people responsible for
adding up frequent flier miles
must hate people like Doug Polen.
Polen has racked up plenty of
miles traveling back and forth be
tween Europe and the U.S. and
other points around the world try
ing to win motorcycle champi
onships on several continents.
The Corinth, Texas native has
won three American Motorcyclist
Association (AMA) national
championships and two Japanese
national championships. This year
he is trying to defend his 1991
World Superbike title while racing
in as many AMA Superbike races
as he can. Even though he missed
two races of the AMA series due
to scheduling conflicts, he was still
within reach of the championship
before the last race this weekend
at Texas World Speedway.
He holds a 16-point lead for the
world championship in Superbike
competition, with four races left in
Australia and New Zealand. And
although he didn't win the AMA
championship, he did win two
races and finished a close second
to Scott Russell at TWS Sunday,
losing the win by just the length of
a wheel.
Polen said that racing on two
continents isn't really that difficult
except for the travel.
"The actual racing is no differ
ent," he said. "I'm used to racing
every weekend anyway, so it's not
a problem for me. The only prob
lem is the traveling back and
forth. I'm really starting to get
tired of all the traveling." He said
he will travel over 200,000 miles
before the year is over.
The competition is also similar.
"I've got the same level of compe
tition over here as I do in the
world championship," he said.
"It's going to be tough no matter
what because there's a lot of guys
going real fast in both series."
He’s usually among the fastest.
But he said he hopes that doesn't
affect his attitude. He speaks of
some racing champions as having
poor attitudes or no personality.
He said he hopes people never
speak of him that way.
"There will be guys saying
'yeah, he was a great driver, but
he didn't have a great personali
ty,'" he said. "I hope I'm remem
bered as someone you could walk
up and talk to."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING - The Dallas Cow
boys bounced back from a
Philadelphia pratfall with their
most dominating defensive game
in club history.
Shaking off a 31-7 Monday
night massacre by the NFC East
rival Eagles, the Cowboys defense
produced seven sacks, two fumble
recoveries and an interception re
turn for a touchdown Sunday in a
27-0 victory over the hapless Seat
tle Seahawks,
Dallas gave Seattle only 62
yards offense. The Cowboys best
previous record for yardage al
lowed was 63 yards against Green
Bay in 1965.
Dallas increased its mark to 4-1
while the Seahawks dropped to 1-
5. Philadelphia's 24-17 loss to
Kansas City dropped the Eagles
back into an NFC tie with Dallas.
"We wanted to get back on
track after what happened to us in
Philadelphia," said Dallas line
backer Ken Norton. "Our defense
was aiVesome."
It was the ninth consecutive
victory in Texas Stadium for the
Cowboys, their longest home win
ning streak since 18 in a row from
1980-81.
"It was just a tremendous de
fensive game," said Dallas coach
Jimmy Johnson. "We were very
disappointed about the way we
lost to Philadelphia on Monday
night. We just had to bounce back
and we did."
Dallas allowed Seattle only six
first downs and 24 yards passing
in its first regular season shutout
in 14 years.
"We got thoroughly whipped,"
said Seattle coach Tom Flores.
"There's not much you can say.
We couldn't run and they got af
ter us when we tried to pass. "
At the end of the game Seattle
was running the clock down.
"We just wanted to get out of
town," Flores said. "This one was

over.
Emmitt Smith scored on two
short touchdown runs and Ray
Horton returned a Stan Gelbaugh
pass 15 yards for a touchdown. It
was the first regular season
shutout since Dallas defeated Bal
timore 38-0 on Sept. 4,1978.
The Cowboys, taking advan
tage of several Seahawk mistakes,
rolled to a 20-0 halftime lead on a
football perfect 71-degree day.
Seattle quarterback Dan McG
wire's fumbled snap was cashed
in as Smith got a two-yard scoring
run four plays later to put Dallas
ahead 7-0.
CINCINNATI - Warren
Moon's five touchdown passes
felt as easy as they looked. Then
again, just about every quarter
back makes it look easy against
these Cincinnati Bengals.
Moon matched his career high
with five touchdown passes —
three to Haywood Jeffires and
two to Ernest Givins — as the
Houston Oilers dismantled the
NFL's worst pass defense for a 38-
24 victory Sunday.
Moon was at his best as he led
the Oilers (4-1) to sole possession
of first place in the AFC Central
Division. He avoided the rush,
made all the right decisions and
put the ball exactly where it had
to be all afternoon.
The Bengals used extra defen
sive backs, played zone defense,
went man-to-man, stunted at the
line, blitzed ... and found nothing
that would work against Moon.
"They did some things we took
advantage of," Moon said. "They
tried to mix it up a lot. They kept
me guessing a few times, no ques-
