Cowboys trounce Pittsburgh in opening game
Dallas defense sacks quarterback Neil O’Donnell nine times
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dallas Cowboys
fans waited nervously for months to learn
what effect new coach Barry Switzer would
have on the two-time defending Super Bowl
champions. The answer: None.
Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman were as
good as ever and a question-mark Dallas de
fense led by Charles Haley was even better,
sacking Neil ODonnell nine times and disrupt
ing Pittsburgh’s game plan in the Cowboys’
dominating 26-9 victory Sunday.
Smith ran for 171 yards and a touch
down and Aikman directed scoring drives
on Dallas’ first four possessions as the
Cowboys, acting like they’d taken only a
week off since the Super Bowl rather than
eight months, won their ninth in a row
over two seasons.
Aikman was 21 of 32 for 245 yards,
many on timing pattern throws to Michael
Irvin, who made eight catches for 139
yards, as Switzer and the Cowboys passed
a critical opening day test by outgaining
Pittsburgh 442-126.

practice.He rushed for 171 yards Sunday
Colts rolls over Houston Mavericks take Kidd
Rookie Falk rushes for 143 yards, three
touchdowns in first regular season game
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The
new-look Indianapolis Colts made
quick work of the Houston Oilers’
11-game regular-season winning
streak Sunday.
Marshall Faulk, one of 13
new starters, rushed for 143
yards and three touchdowns in
his NFL debut as the Colts
shocked the error-plagued Hous
ton Oilers 45-14.
Indianapolis played nothing
like the team that was 4-12 a
year ago. The Colts scored after
each of three Houston turnovers
and set a team record for most
points in a season-opening
game.
All six Indianapolis touch
downs were scored by players
who had joined the team since
the end of last season.
Faulk, the second overall pick
in the draft, ran for touchdowns
of 1, 2 and 11 yards. Linebacker
Tony Bennett, a free agent from
Green Bay, returned a fumble a
Colts-record 75 yards for anoth
er touchdown, and Bears castoff
Jim Harbaugh passed for two
touchdowns to Floyd Turner, a
free agent from New Orleans.
Sampras advances again
Loses first set
of Open to Smith
NEW YORK (AP) — Annoyed
by an off-kilter court, perplexed by
a swirling wind, and teased by an
inspired qualifier slicing, dicing
and pureeing him silly, Pete Sam
pras had a day he’d like to forget
at the U.S. Open on Sunday.
Not that he lost. Sampras is
so much better than everyone
else, he turns heads when he
drops a set.
He rarely loses his cool
about anything, but on this day
even the vagaries of the net
cord threw Sampras off. It got
sp, /rustrating for the defending
champion and top seed that at
one point he bent down to mea
sure the net with his racket.
Roger Smith, ranked No. 187
from the Bahamas, had just hit a
baseline shot that clipped the net
and flopped over. Sampras darted
in to scoop it up, only to see the
ball hit the net cord again and fall
back on his side.
Sampras finally asserted him
self after losing his first set of the
tournament, but never had it easy
in a 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 victory over
the second qualifier he’s played in
three matches.
Sampras ripped the condi
tion of the stadium court, say
ing it wasn’t level near the
baseline and was making balls
skid in that area.
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas
Mavericks signed All-America
guard Jason Kidd to a nine-
year, $60 million contract Sat
urday, hailing it as a gift to the
city that for two straight years
has been stuck with the worst
team in the NBA.
Kidd, 21, was the first of the
top eight 1994 draft choices to
sign. He was selected second
overall in the June draft.
“It’s a tremendous pleasure
for me to present to the city of
Dallas what I think is one of the
nicest gifts we can give — and
that’s a long-term commitment
to one of the foundation pieces
of this franchise, and that is Ja
son Kidd,” Mavericks chief op
erating officer Norm Sonju snid
at a news conference.
The team would not divulge
the contract’s worth. But Kidd,
when asked about reports the
deal was worth $60 million,
said, "It’s close.”
The Mavericks said the con
tract forced them to renounce
their rights to unrestricted free
agent forwards Tony Campbell
and Randy White and guard
Fat Lever. White will play in
Greece next season.
The 6-4 Kidd, who turned
pro after his sophomore year at
California, signed the contract
during the news conference at
Reunion Arena.
Immediately afterward, he
made a $46,100 donation to a
Dallas church to purchase a
basketball court for a gym,
which will be one of the sites for
the Mavericks fall Midnight
Basketball League. Kidd will
serve as honorary commission
er.
Kidd led California into the
NCAA tournament in each of
his two seasons. The Mavericks,
with only a total of 24 victories
in the past two seasons, hope he
can make the same impact for
them.
“Hopefully I can do what I
think I’m capable of doing for
this team — and that’s taking
leadership right off the bat and
directing this team back to
where it’s capable of being,”
Kidd said.
Kidd averaged 14.9 points,
8.4 assists and 5.9 rebounds in
59 collegiate games. He led the
nation in assists last season at
9.1 per game.
Kidd angered the team in
July by not showing up at a vol
untary minicamp after it of
fered him a $36 million insur
ance policy to attend the four-
day camp.
He’s also had other prob
lems.
Last month, a California
judge ordered Kidd to pay
$4,000 a month to support his
9-month-old son. But Alameda
County Superior Court Judge
Roderic Duncan said the
monthly figure would be reeval
uated after Kidd signed the ex
pected multimillion-dollar con
tract with the Mavericks.
Kidd also faces misdemeanor
hit-and-run and speeding
charges in connection with a
May 22 high-speed collision on
an Oakland freeway.
