The resilient Eagles/an 11- point underdog, played the Cow boys to a standstill in a driving rain until Smith broke his big run with 3:45 left in the game. Dallas (5-2) won its fifth straight since losing its first two games and tied the New York Gi ants for first place in the NFC East. Smith, who missed the two de feats while holding out, erased the mark of 206 by Tony Dorsett against the Eagles in 1977. He gained 65 yards in the first peri od, 64 in the second, just 14 in the third and 96 in the final period. The Cowboys led 16-10 when Smith broke through the middle and outran defenders to the end ii. 93 r 11 Kickers Continued from Page 5 (affects) the kicking game," Slocum said. "It was very hard to kick field goals going to the north." Venetoulias said he quickly discovered that the forces were against him on his initial field goal attempt in the first quarter. What would have been an undisputed 37- yard field goal became a close call as the ball rose through the goal post, hanged for sever al seconds and then suddenly dropped like a dead duck, clearing the posts by a few feet. "I got kind of scared at first," Venetoulias said. "What scared me the most was the ball had already (gone) through and I was about to raise my hands up, then I saw that sucker start coming back." Afterwards, Venetoulias took a bow to the crowd and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the weather was cause to wor ry, the kicking statistics were untainted. Venetoulias made three of four field goals and all of his extra points while Bennett maintained a 38.8 punting average. Bennett said the wind never let up throughout the game and he never knew ex actly what to expect from each kick. "Throughout the course of the game, you kind of test it to figure out what you have to do," he said. "A lot of it was luck, Tm sure. Because with the wind like that, it doesn't matter if you do everything perfect, the wind will still catch it and all you can do is just hope that it gets off." Bennett said kicking with the wind was just as adventurous as kicking into it. "No matter which direction you're going," Bennett said, "the wind is going to affect the ball." Venetoulias agreed. "Sometimes it (kicking into the wind) af fects you worse because try' to kill it and you get this ugly looking, low, line-drive (kick)," Venetoulias said.

But although he was downcast, Slocum said that the win was a win, nevertheless. "I'm always disappointed in some aspects of a win," Slocum said. "We planned on throwing the football a lot more than we threw today; today was not a good day for throwing the foot ball." A&M could not pull away from the Mustangs who were down by only ten points with 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter until Hill and McElroy scored touchdowns to put it out of reach. "You always want a blowout, but you can't always get what you want," Hill said. "We're not up to the caliber we're supposed to be right now." Defensively, A&M surrendered 306 yards as the Mustangs nickel- and-dimed the Aggie defense with short, quick strikes. The de fense also allowed its first offen sive touchdown at Kyle Field in 17 quarters, dating back to last year's contest against Texas Christian. A&M defensive coordinator Bob Davie said his biggest con cern was at the depleted inside linebacker slots, but said that the disappointment his team felt was indicative of the pride his defend ers take in completely taking apart other teams' offenses. "There is a lot of people in the country that would be in there right now, jumping up and down and slapping each other on the back," Davie said. "Any time you've been number one in the conference in every category for two straight years, you look at things a little bit differently maybe than some other teams. "But being realistic as a coach, anytime you can hold a team to 13 points and win the football game then you've had a successful game." After posting a 5-0 record for October, Slocum said the real tests would begin in the next three games against the 13th-ranked Louisville Cardinals, Texas Christ ian and the University of Texas.
