Cowboys regroup
to face 49ers
The Associated Press
IRVING - The Dallas Cow
boys have a week to cure what
ails them or they won't be de
fending their Super Bowl champi
onship in Georgia.
"We have to play smarter,
harder and better,” said wide re
ceiver Michael Irvin. "If we don't,
we won't be going anywhere.”
The Cowboys suffered inter
ceptions, fumbles, penalties, and
kicking game breakdowns but
still managed to defeat Green Bay
27-17 on Sunday in the divisional
playoffs.
The victory set up the NFC
championship game the Cowboys
wanted. They'll host the San
Francisco 49ers at 3 p.m. Sunday
in a rematch of last year's title
game won 30-20 by the Cowboys.
Dallas also defeated San Francis
co 26-17 in October when Irvin
caught 12 passes for 168 yards.
"The 49ers are a better team
now than the one we beat back in
October,” said Dallas quarterback
Troy Aikman. "A veteran team
that has played in a lot of big
games can be very dangerous.”
It will be the first time the
Cowboys have hosted the NFC
championship game in 16 years.
Oilers find little consolation in
seventh straight playoff appearance
The Associated Press
HOUSTON - Houston Oilers
players slipped out of their prac
tice facility early Monday, toting
off large plastic bags of personal
items from their lockers.
They had become the playoff
homeless for the seventh year in
a row, kicked out this time by
joe Montana and the Kansas
City Chiefs, 28-20, on Sunday.
They were familiar with the
depressing day-after process and
they were anxious to slink into
the off-season without further
comment. They talked briefly
and reluctantly.
All Pro guard Mike Munchak,
who may nave played his final
season because of chronically in
jured knees, spoke what the rest
of the team felt.
"We should have been still i
playing," Munchak said. "It's ^
hard to come over here today, j
This is when it starts to sink in
what has happened.”
This was the year they were |
supposed to be more than just
playoff also-rans. The Oilers, af
ter overcoming a 1-4 start, were !
favor ites to reach the big show.
Instead, for the third straight
year, they blew an early lead and
lost after teasing their fans once
again with visions of advancing
farther than the second round of
the playoffs.
They took little consolation in
their streak of seven straight
playoff appearances that is the
longest in the NFL.
They had to play at San Fran
cisco last January and the big
worry was over the condition of
the field.
"At least we won't have a field
as bad as that one," Irvin said. "It
helps to play at home. The 49ers
will have to travel and listen to all
that noise on their snap counts.”
There is still concern over the
condition of Emmitt Smith's
shoulder, although he says he is
fine.
Smith reinjured the shoulder
on Sunday trying to block Tony |
Bennett.
"It stung me pretty good,"
said Smith, who rushed for 60 j
yards before he left the game ear-1
ly in the second half.
Smith seemed more concerned I
over the way the team was play-1
ing than his shoulder problems, i
"The way we there was no |

in the dressing room before we
even went on the floor.
"We don't want the Texas
game to be a fluke, and for that
to be legit, we've got to take care
of business with the rest of the
teams in the conference."
After going undefeated in
their first, five games, the Lady
Aggies suffered their first set
back 90-69 at the hands of the
University of Oklahoma on
Dec.18 in Norman, Ok.
A&M rebounded to win their
next two contests over California
Irvine at G. Rollie White and
over Louisiana State in Baton
Rouge, where they were led by
Kelly Cerny's season-high 24
points.
The victory over Texas
stopped the Lady Aggies' first
two-game losing streak, which
included their first home loss of
the year, against Oklahoma
State.
Sophomore guard Lisa Branch
continues to lead the Lady Ag
gies, averaging 14.6 points per
game, as well as leading the
team in steals, free-throw per
centage, three-pointers and as
sists, which also tops the SVVC.
Along with Branch, Kelly
Cerny and Martha McClellanii
consistently scored in double fig-
ures, averaging 12.5 and 11.6
points respectively.
Hickey said that compared to
the team at this point in the sea
son last year she sees tremen
dous improvement in key areas.

on fall Saturdays are the ones who
earn the money and fill the stadi
ums. They are the ones people
pay $25 a ticket to see. Why
shouldn't they reap some finan
cial benefit from the work they
do?
The problem with paying col
lege football players lies in a
workable system of payment.
If athletes were paid a salary,
problems might arise where they
would need to form a college foot
ball player's union. High school
seniors might have to worry about
contract negotiations with their
prospective colleges, as well as en
trance exams and finals.
Sending the college football
system into the free market would
kill a large number of football pro
grams across the country. In a
free economy, many of the univer
sities that run over budget proba
bly might have to abolish their
football programs.
Another option would be simi
lar the National Football League's
system of revenue sharing where
the players are guaranteed a per
centage of the gross income.
The NFL, however, has to
grant a city a franchise and they
choose locations where they feel
the franchise can make money.
There were only 28 NFL franchis
es this past season, but there were
106 Division I football teams in
the NCAA.
Even with television revenue
and gate receipts, college football
would not be able to support so
many programs.
Another issue raised when dis
cussing the payment of college
athletes is the effects Title IX
would have on any payment sys
tem.
For example, if college football
players are paid for their perfor
mance, women's basketball play
ers, under Title IX requirements,
must also be paid.
There are many sports pro
grams on college campuses that
do not earn enough revenue to
pay their players with revenue
sharing.
Even worse, if excess football
revenue is diverted to the pay
ment of players instead of the
support of other less-profitable
programs, a number of men's and
women's sports would probably
cease to exist.
It has been a long standing be
lief in work relations thatworkeis
should be , paid a legif/matt
amount oUgfroney for the service
they perform. Numerous strikes
and riots brought about legisla
tion providing minimum wage
and worker's rights.
However, paying collegiate
athletes violates the founding
principles of the NCAA, in which [
athletes are considered amateurs
and not professionals.
Solari suggested that athletes I
be given a monthly stipend of $50
or $100 to cover expenses and
make life more pleasant forthel
players.
Some change needs to be madet
or some action taken to prevent a
school's alumni from violating!
NCAA rules by improperly pay
ing players.
Whether such a change would I
be making such payments accept !
able or taking legal action against |
the boosters that give the players!
the money, a new system of rules |
must be developed.
It's the only fair solution to the|
players and to the school's the;, f
represent.
