The Cowboys, the league's youngest team, qualified for their first Super Bowl in 14 years Sunday with a 30-20 victory over San Francisco, the team that dominated the '80s. "Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantas tic!" Dallas coach Jimmy John son told his players from a podi um in the locker room. Dallas, 1-15 just three years ago and now 15-3, will play Buf falo for the NFL championship Jan. 31 at the Rose Bowl. The Bills beat Miami 29-10 to win the AFC title. The Cowboys are early 7- point favorites to give the NFC its ninth straight league champi onship against a team that has lost the last two Super Bowls. Candlestick was the perfect place for the Cowboys' champi onship comeback. Dallas' slide from top to bot tom began 11 years ago in San Francisco, when Dwight Clark made "The Catch" that put the 49ers in the first of the four Su per Bowls they won that decade. Now, they could be sending the 49ers on their own slide. It will be a record sixth Super Bowl appearance for Dallas, but its first since 1978, when it lost 35-31 to Pittsburgh, third of the Steelers' four Super Bowl wins. It was that record four Super Bowl victories that the Niners had hoped to break in Pasadena this year. But they won't get there, thanks in large part to Troy Aik- man, Emmitt Smith and two perfect second-half drives. Those long drives broke open a game that was tied at 10 at halftime and was played with few mishaps, despite a field soaked by two weeks' of down pours. "The big thing for us today is we were able to convert on third down," said Aikman, w’ho was 24 of 34 for 322 yards and two touchdowns. "When we got the opportunity, we were able to convert it." In the second half, the Cow boys took control. They took the kickoff and went 78 yards in eight plays fea- ~ 3-yard pass from Aik- turing a 38- man to Alvin Harper. The 6- foot-4 Harper beat 5-11 San Francisco cornerback Eric Davis on the play. Daryl Johnston capped that one with a 3-yard run for a TD as the San Francisco defense broke offside, then stood around as Johnston bulled up the mid dle. Mike Cofer's 42-yard field goal cut the score to 17-10. Then came the second drive, 9 minutes of perfection in which the Cowboys converted four third downs in four attempts in cluding the TD, a 16-yard toss from Aikman to Smith. Smith also scored on a 4-yard run in the second quarter and rushed for 114 yards in 24 carries.

THIS COULD BE YOU. Norwood Continued from Page 4 broke the story during the pre-Cotton Bowl hype. And if the four players were payed for work they did not do this summer, why did the story not come out until late December? If this type of argument sounds like a desperate plea for leniency on the part of the NCAA, it's no accident. A&M carries Sherrill's legacy squarely on its shoulders, so the pos sibility of the NCAA inves tigating the Aggies for the least little infraction is a real one. Head coach R.C. Slocum is fully aware of this, as he has to almost beg boosters at A&M Club meetings around the state to watch their step around his players. At the same time however, many play ers are set up with jobs working for alumni, mak ing for a potentially dan gerous situation. Slocum, as well as every other major college coach in the country, is fighting a losing battle in this area. There is no way that any one can babysit a horde of boosters, each of whom has a mind of his or her own. It's hard enough to keep track of 80 or 90 players, much less more than a hun dred thousand alumni. Maybe the answer is to legalize booster payments and take coaches off of pins and needles. Allow anyone not employed by the school in question to grease the palms of anyone they want. If they want to spend their money that way, let them. The chances of the NCAA adopting this kind of attitude are slim and none, which means coaches will continue to suffer due to circumstances beyond their control. Face it, many players who are offered money will take it in a sec ond, basically because many of those same players need it. Heck, if a promi nent A&M booster who for some reason loves journal ism offered me money for nothing, it would be next to impossible to say no. All speculation aside, A&M stands to make it to next season relatively un scathed. The suspension of the four players before the Aggies' biggest game of the year should serve to soften the blow from the NCAA, who has yet to announce they are even investigating A&M. And the predicted hit to the Aggies' recruiting haul has yet to arrive, as A&M has received commit ments from four of the top 100 high school players in Texas. The real damage could come to the reputations of both A&M and the confer ence as a whole. This type of thing goes on every where, but the media focus is on A&M. And the last thing the Southwest Con ference needs is another public relations nightmare. 92 No. 75 THE ASSO BAGHDAD, jiimed 21 peo (allied air atl i southern Ir ill said the n ply that Sadd, rrment vvouh iN. weapons ii The Pentagc lines may ha aqi MiG-25 wl emission.
