Dallas officials fight to keep Cotton Bowl game
Weather an important
factor in decision of
moving the New Year's
Day game to Irving
DALLAS (AP) — It is now up to Dallas city of
ficials to come up with a plan if they hope to
keep the New Year’s Day Cotton Bowl game at
the state fairgrounds a couple of miles southeast
of downtown.
The Cotton Bowl Athletic Association has pro
posed that, effective Jan. 1, 1996, the post-sea
son game be moved from its longtime home in
Fair Park to Texas Stadium, which is only about
5 miles northwest of downtown but is actually
not in Dallas, but in suburban Irving.
The proposal was contained in a plan submit
ted Monday to the NCAA Division I-A conference
commissioners, CBAA president John F. Craw
ford said.
However, Mayor Steve Bartlett and other city
officials reacted strenuously in opposition to
Crawford’s announcement, and Crawford said
later in the day that he would submit to commis
sioners any city counterproposal to keep the
game in downtown Dallas.
Cotton Bowl officials must compete this year
with other bowls for the right to remain a top-
rank, New Year’s Day college football bowl game.
The conference commissioners have said they ex
pect to retain only the Rose Bowl and three other
major bowls for New Year’s Day.
“Over the past few weeks, it’s become abun
dantly clear that if we were to make the first cut,
we had to consider moving the game to Texas
Stadium,” Crawford said.
A major factor in the decision was the “percep
tion” among college football and network televi
sion officials that the downtown stadium is too
exposed to inclement winter weather, Crawford
said.
In talks with bowl officials, Jerry Jones, own
er of the Dallas Cowboys and suburban Irving
stadium where they play, proposed installing a
retractable cover for the hole in the stadium’s
roof.
Jones was out of his Irving office Monday and
unavailable for comment, his secretary said.
Since 1937, when Crawford’s father-in-law,
oilman Curtis Sanford, founded the Cotton Bowl,
the game has been played in the Fair Park stadi
um whose name it bears.
“Without question, the football game has en
joyed a great tradition. However, I think it’s im
portant that we
be clear that the
tradition is the
game itself, not
where the game
is played,” Craw
ford said.
“The bottom
line is, if we don’t
have a game, we
won’t have to
worry about
where to play it,”
he said.
Regarding the Fair Park stadium’s exposure
to winter weather, Crawford acknowledged that
Texas Stadium would be little less exposed with
out the retractable roof.
However, he said the problem is not so much
the reality of the weather problem, but the per
ception of one among national college football
and network officials.
That is the problem that city officials must ad
dress and resolve if they hope to keep the game
downtown, Crawford said.
“If we can cure the major perception of weath
er (problems), then it’ll help. If we can’t, then
there’s a problem,” he said.
The concession came as Bartlett lobbied Craw
ford and other association members before and
after Crawford’s scheduled announcement of the
proposal Monday.
Bartlett removed Crawford on Friday from the
chairmanship of a city panel that was consider
ing the need for a new indoor arena.
He said Crawford had “betrayed” the city
with the decision to move the Cotton Bowl game
to Irving and Texas Stadium.
However, Crawford told reporters on Monday
that he warned Bartlett last year that a move to
Texas Stadium was possible, and again two
weeks ago that such a move was “a strong possi
bility.”
After the news conference, Bartlett said he
had responded then by offering Crawford the
city’s help in keeping the game in Dallas.
“He said he understood,” Bartlett said. “I as
sumed from that that either that option would be
taken off the table, or at least the Cotton Bowl
would come back to the city with an opportunity
to discuss it. Neither of those two things hap
pened.”
Crawford conceded that he might not have
spoken clearly to Bartlett.
“I think the shortfall in the process was that
the mayor and perhaps others did not have the
opportunity to talk again before we made the fi
nal decision,” he said.

Brazil beats Russia in their fourth
World Cup soccer championship
Brilliant Brazil is back at the
World Cup.
The Brazilians gave every in
dication Monday they are ready
to challenge for an unprece
dented fourth world soccer
championship. They beat un
dermanned Russia 2-0 and it
easily could have been more
lopsided.
“There’s still a lot more the
team can do,” coach Carlos Al
berto Parreira said after Ro-
mario and Rai scored and Brazil
dominated. “This was our first
game in 30 days. There were a
lot of opportunities lost.”
There certainly were a lot of
opportunities created. With
their magical touch, the Brazil
ians won nearly every loose ball
and created wide open spaces to
run with it. When they got it
near the goal, eithier Romario or
Bebeto, their star strikers, got a
chance.
“There was a total suprema
cy by Brazil and we even lost
several chances to score three
or four times more,” Parreira
said.
In a night game, Saudi Ara
bia played the Netherlands at
Washington.
Brazil, one of the favorites in
this event, needed a strong ear
ly showing
to answer . /^.mV
criticism it \ World
was not up \, iCiiQA 1
to the qual-
ity of previ
ous cham
pionship
teams.
That criti
cism, par
ticularly
concerning
the defense, seemed ill-founded
at Stanford Stadium.
Bebeto set up Romario for
the first goal, in the 27th
minute. Capitalizing on a fifth
corner kick in a five-minute
span, Bqbeto lofted the ball over
the Russian defense. Romario
shook off defender Vladisav
Temavski and deflected the ball
with the outside of his right foot
into the right corner past goal
keeper Dmitry Kharin.
Kharin kept things close un
til Romario was pulled down by
Ternavski in the penalty box in
the 53rd minute. Rai took the
penalty kick, the first of the
tournament, and put it into the
right corner.
Brazil goalie Claudio Taf-
farel rarely was challenged in
registering the shutout.
The Russians, a team in re
volt leading to the World Cup,
were without four key players
who refused to play for coach
Pavel Sadyrin. They were also
missing captain Viktor Onopko,
who was suspended for the
World Cup opener.
Parreira issued an ominous
warning after Brazil’s dominat
ing performance.
“I’ll tell you, the trend is for
the team to improve as the
tournament progresses,” he
said.
In other World Cup news:
•Two U.S. starters might
miss Wednesday’s game with
Colombia. Eric Wynalda, who
scored the Americans’ goal in
their 1-1 tie with Switzerland
on Saturday, has a severe rash,
Claudio Reyna i/s bothered by a
right hamstring injury.
•One man received minor
gunshot wounds and a police
man was injured after fighting
broke out between police, home
fans and Moroccan immigrants
in Verviers, Belgium. Belgium
beat Morocco 1-0 Sunday.
The daily Le Soir newspaper
said 200 to 300 Belgian and Mo
roccan fans were watching the
game on television when the
fighting erupted.
Texas pounds Chicago
to end losing streak
Rangers 12, White Sox 6
CHICAGO (AP) — Ivan Ro
driguez hit a go-ahead, two-run
double as the Texas Rangers
scored seven runs in the eighth
inning Monday night to beat the
Chicago White Sox 12-6 and end
a six-game losing streak.
White Sox starter Jack Mc
Dowell took a 6-2 lead into the
eighth, but for the third straight
start the Cy Young winner got a
no-decision when the bullpen
couldn’t hold on.
McDowell hit Dean Palmer
with a pitch and gave up a sin
gle to Manuel Lee and RBI dou
ble to Oddibe McDowell before
leaving in the eighth.
Pinch-hitter Chris James fol
lowed with a run-scoring single
off Dennis Cook to make it 6-4
and Jose Canseco had an RBI
infield single off Dane Johnson
(1-1), cutting the lead to 6-5.
Rick Honeycutt (1-2) was the
winner in relief.
Kevin Brown (5-9) lasted five
innings-plus and had to leave
with a hyperextended right
hand and wrist.

DENVER (AP) — Jeff
Bagwell and Scott Servais
hit two-run homers, help
ing Doug Drabek post his
10th victory as the Houston
Astros beat the Colorado
Rockies 5-4 Monday night.
The Astros overcame two

time in eight tries.
In the second inning,

Servais followed with his
sixth homer.
Craig Biggio led off the

scored on Bagwell’s 20th
homer.
John Hudek pitched the
ninth for his 11th save.
The Rockies got single
runs in the first and third
innings.
However, Drabek (10-3)
avoided further damage by
working out of jams.
Colorado loaded the
bases in the first on two
singles and a hit batter.
Charlie Hayes hit an
RBI single with one out.
But with the bases still
loaded, Drabek struck out
Mike Kingery and Joe Gi-
rardi.
