A FILM BY FERNANDO TRUEBA
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) —
Wayne Pontes has been telling
anyone who would listen that
his Detroit Lions can play with
the big boys. After their 20-17
victory over the Dallas Cowboys
Monday night, it looks like he’s
telling the truth.
It has been a slow climb and
Fontes has taken a lot of criti
cism along the way. Some of it
was earned. It was Fontes who
kept changing the Lions’ offense
and playing musical chairs with
his quarterbacks.
A lot of his moves have
turned out well:
—He made Barry Sanders a
No. 1 draft pick, when some
NFL gurus thought he might be
too small.
—He used a second-round
pick on a kicker, something al
most unheard of in the NFL.
—He pushed for a big, left-
handed quarterback who had
been riding the bench in Miami
for four years.
Sanders carried 40 times for
194 yards against the Cowboys.
Scott Mitchell passed for 134
yards and two touchdowns.
And Jason Hanson kicked a
44-yard field goal with 32 sec
onds left in overtime to seal the
triumph. It was the second time
this year Hanson has won a
game for the Lions (2-1).
“When we went into the ball-
game, we said, ‘Let the good
ballplayers win this game,”’
Fontes said Tuesday. “When you
think of our good ballplayers you
think of Barry Sanders, Herman
Moore, Scott Mitchell.
“We’ve got a good kicker, too.
Jason Hanson is one of the best
in the NFL. I think with him
I’ve got the guy who can win it.”
“I think we have to go a ways
yet to be a team like the Dallas
Cowboys,” Fontes said. “They
have a good football team,
they’re strong in every phase.
But let’s hope we can get there.
“We’re not where we want to
be. We have to get better. I want
to emphasize that. We have a
long way to go. But this was a
big win. It was on the road, it
was Monday night, and it
showed that we are a good foot
ball team.”

the Lady Aggies have defeAted
since 1991, when they upset the
seventh-ranked University of
Texas Lady Longhorns in Col
lege Station.
Corbel H said even though the
team lost two games over the
weekend, several players ex
celled with strong performances.
“Suzy Wente was outstanding,
Dana Santleben really ripped up
Colorado and Andrea Williams
showed us a really strong game,”
Corbelli said. “These are players
(Santleben and Williams) who
have not been getting a lot of
playing time, but really came on
strong for us.”
Suzy Wente, an All-American
candidate for the Lady Aggies,
said the weekend action typified
the team’s up-and-down play dur
ing the early stages of the season.
“The first two matches
(against Notre Dame and Michi
gan) were not so good because
we were really tired and not re
ally as focused as we should
have been,” Wente said. “But
against Colorado, I was happy
with our play.”
The Lady Aggies are complet
ing a tough part of their sched
ule that includes four matches
within five days including three
opponents ranked in the Top 15.
Wente said playing SWC and
non-conference opponents are
both very important to the team,
although for different reasons.
“We are really going to strive
to do well in the conference,
and really get fired up to play
those teams,” Wente said. “But
how we play against the other
teams, like Colorado and Notre
Dame, will affect are post-sea
son play because of the NCAA
selection committee.”
Texas Tech is coming off a
third place finish at the
Louisiana State Tiger Classic.
The University of Maryland Ter
rapins are the only common op
ponent between A&M and Tech
so far in the young season. The
Lady Aggies opened the 1994
season by defeating Maryland in
four games while Tech was beat
en in three straight games by
the Terrapins two weeks ago.
After tonight’s game, the I^ady
Aggies next play on Wednesday,
Sept. 28, against at G. Rollie
White Coliseum at 7 p.m.
Hobson was fired Tuesi
as manager of the Best:
Red Sox after thi
losing seasons.
“I believed in my he:
that this day would net
happen,” Hobson saidi
ing a news conference
Fenway Park. “I’m not gel
to burn any bridges, Win
new faces come in,
want to bring in new faces
knew that.”
Speculation on Hobso:
future intensified when
Duquette became gene:
manager last Jan. 21
serving in that capacityr
the Montreal Expos.
It increased when
Sox faltered after getting
to a strong start this year,
Duquette did not nani:
successor to Hobson. Hes
he was considering a lisi
candidates with more expo:
ence at the major leaguekj
el, “an experienced vetera
baseball man."
“Butch gave his best:
forts for the last three yea?
Are we holding him respci
bio for everything with
club? The answer to that
no,’ Duquette said.
The Red Sox were 51
in the strike-shortem
1994 season, 17 gait
out of first place int:

more than he or anyone else could possi
bly understand.
Sundays were a structured institution
around the Diener household in the early
1980’s. Dad would wake me up at 9 a.m.
He’d fix me breakfast while I got dressed.
While we ate breakfast, we’d catch “The
Tom Landry Show” on channel 5. Once
the program was over, he’d take me to
Sunday school.
'For'Two Fours, Pd wait impatiently for
Dad to pick me up so I could get back to the
old homestead and watch my dear Cowboys.
When Tony Dorsett would race 30
yards for a score or Danny White
would hook up with Drew Pearson in the
end zone for six, I could always count on
Dad to bellow out a roaring “TOUCH
DOWN COW-BOYS!”
To this day, it is rare that I can watch
Emmitt break for a long TD or Alvin Harp
er leap high for an Aikman pass and de
scend into the end zone with the ball cra
dled in his arms, that I do not say to myself
“TOUCH-DOWN COW-BOYS!”
Oh, the memories. They are fantastic...
During halftime, Dad would usually
take a nap and I’d go outside to reenact the
first half in my next door neighbor’s yard.
More often than not, I’d stay outside too
long and wind up missing the first few
minutes of the second half.
After the game, if the Cowboys had won,
Dad and I might take off for the park and
throw the football for an hour or so. If they
lost, we’d still go to the park; except the
football would be left behind.
There was no ESPN Prime Time in the
early 80’s so Dad and I would usually cap
off the day with dinner and 60 minutes,
followed by a trip to Dairy Queen.
That was Sunday at the Diener house
and it would remain that way until the
1984 football season began...
In the spring of ‘84, Dad got sick. He
was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer,
however, after a complex operation and a
summer of radiation treatment, all
seemed fine...
We soon found out that all was not fine.
This time Joe Montana and the 49ers were
not marching down the field against the
Cowboys for one last chance at a comeback,
cancer was marching down the field
against my dad, and about to enjoy ask
lar comeback.
Cancer gained a fourth quarterly
against my father that it would never relit
quish. He was a man with no time-outsle:
to spare, content to wait and suffer as lit
game clock emphatically expired.
However no evil, not even cancer wash
ing to keep father and son from sharingtfi?
last Sunday afternoon together.
Curled up in a hospital bed next to the Jf
ing man that gave me the gift oflifej
watched with him as the Dallas Cowboyskl
feated Walter Payton and the Chicago Bears
When Dorsett scampered into theenJ
zone for a score, the tired and suffering
man that I called “Dad” did his bestto'tf
ter the words I so loved... 11 1
“TOUCH-DOWN COWBOYS!”
It was not near as resounding
“TOUCH-DOWN COW-BOYS!” of the pas:
in fact it was nothing more than a raersf
whisper, but to this day, it remainstk
most memorable.
Not long after that, on the morning offt
tober 10,1984, my sister informed me of
inevitable. I looked her in the eye.
There was a moment of silence. Soi
one had died. Turning back toward®
bedroom, I began to cry.
