MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys weren’t super Sunday night, just good enough to win again. Emmitt Smith overcame a rare fumble with a 31-yard touchdown run in overtime to give the Cow boys a 23-17 victory over the Min nesota Vikings. Smith, who also scored on a 2- yard dive in the fourth quarter, broke through a huge hole on the left side and outran Charles Min- cy to the end zone marker just 2:26 into overtime. The run stunned the Vikings (1-2), who tied the game with 30 seconds left in regulation on an 8- yard pass from Warren Moon to Cris Carter. But the Cowboys (3- 0) won the coin toss and needed just five plays to end the game. Held to 27 yards in the first half, Smith finished with 150 yards on 20 carries for his third straight 100-yard game, only the second time in his career he has done that during the regu lar season. After rolling in its first two games, Dallas was sloppy against the inspired Vikings. Roy Barker and John Randle each sacked Troy A i km an once af ter Dallas came in as the only team in the league that didn’t al low a sack in the first two weeks. But Charles Haley had two sacks Dallas Cowboys 23 Minnesota Vikings 17 as the Dallas defense helped over come the offensive miscues. Smith’s first fumble in 34 games led to Minnesota’s first touchdown, a 3-yard pass from Moon to Jake Reed for a 10-6 lead 51 seconds into the second quarter. Chris Boniol, who missed the extra point after Dallas’ first touchdown, made it 10-9 with a 39-yard field goal later in the sec ond quarter, but the Cowboys wasted a 45-yard run by Smii: when Boniol was wide right on 20-yard field goal attempt in II third quarter. Dallas never let the Vikinj cross midfield in the third quarte and finally regained the leado: its best drive of regulation. The Cowboys moved 80 yare in seven plays, including yard screen pass to Jay Novao that gave them a first down attk Minnesota 2. Ailing Oilers drop second straight game □ The two teams com bined for just seven points in the first three quarters. HOUSTON (AP) — A little defense from Stevon Moore, a little offense from Vinny Tes- taverde, and the Cleveland Browns had a little victory Sunday over the Houston Oil ers. Moore, a cornerback, inter cepted three passes by backup starter Will Furrer in the first half, helping the Browns get off to a 7-0 lead. And Testaverde rallied from a poor first half with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Michael Jackson with 9:17 to play, giving Cleveland a 14-7 victory. The Oilers (1-2) tied it with Furrer’s 4-yard touchdown pass to Haywood Jeffires, who made a leaping catch with de fender Don Griffin hanging on his waist with 2:43 gone in the fourth quarter. Testaverde, who hit only 2- of-11 first half passes, needed only three minutes to give the lead back to the Browns. Testaverde set up the score ■ with a 29-yard pass to Keenan McCardell to the Oilers 36 and finished the game hitting 10 of 23 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Furrer, making his second NFL start, was booed in the first half but hung in there for 22-of-41 passes for 258 yards and four interceptions. The Browns (2-1) came into the game hoping to victimize Houston’s ailing defense. The Oilers played the game without starting middle line backer A1 Smith and free safe ty Marcus Robertson. Instead, Moore picked on Cleveland Browns 14 Houston Oilers 7 Furrer, a last minute replace ment for Chris Chandler, who sat out with game with a bruised left shoulder. It didn’t take Moore long to react. The Browns used Moore’s second interception of the game to set up Testaverde’s 15-yard touchdown pass to McCardell. McCardell got behind safety Chuck Cecil and cornerback Cris Dishman in the end zone with 1:41 gone in the second quarter. Moore picked off Furrer and returned it 28 yards in the first quarter, stopping a Ho. ton drive to the Browns 22. Moore’s third theft was most spectacular. Griffin fleeted the ball away from ceiver Chris Sanders, t Moore grabbed it at l Browns 1-yard line with 8 to go in the half. Linebacker Mike Caldwel got the fourth pick, endingtl, first half as Furrer threw ini a crowd at the Browns' go line. The Oilers have now lostl of their last 17 ballgames in the last two years.

DALLAS (AP) — Texas Tech was the first Southwest Confer ence team to get a taste of one of its future Big 12 mates, and it welcomed traditional Big Eight punching bag Missouri with open arms. The Tigers left Lubbock with their tails between their legs Sat urday after a 41-14 shellacking. “This is no time for us to be come divided as a football team,’’ Missouri coach Larry Smith said. “We can’t feel sorry for ourselves.” Last year, the Red Raiders weren’t so lucky with another fu ture league rival — Nebraska beat them 42-16. The Raiders’ first-ever game against a current Big Eight team was in 1933, when Tech dropped Kansas 6-0 in the last game of the season. Overall, Tech enjoys a 22- 13-3 record against what will be come their new conference foes. They hadn’t played Missouri until this season. The Aggies, who stayed at No. 3, face off against fellow national power No. 7 Colorado on Satur day in the first-ever meeting be tween the schools. Over history, Texas A&M has played each of the other seven teams, posting a 25-20 mark against them. The Longhorns, who moved up two spots to No. 13, will continue their yearly border battle with Ok lahoma, as they’ve done 89 times before. They’re 52-33-4 against the Sooners and 80-48-4 against all of the Big Eight teams. The only schools from the looming Big 12 Conference that Baylor will play this season are the same ones they’ve been butting heads with since the Bears began playing SWC foot ball in 1915. Baylor is 18-17 against the Big Eight. The Bears defeated Okla homa State 14- 10 last year. In the new Big 12 scheme, the Texas schools will align with Ok lahoma and Okla homa State — original SWC members when the league was formed in 1915 at the Oriental Hotel in Dallas — in the southern tier of the new league. The six schools will play one another each year and play four of the other six each season. The champions of each division will meet at a site to be determined this season for the conference championship. Figuring out Southern Methodist this year appears to be an exercise in futility. The Mustangs opened with quarterback Ramon Flanagan go ing down for the season with a dislocated hip in the first play of the first game, then somehow up set Arkansas. But the Mustangs made like a canoe and got paddled 33-2 by a Navy battleship they weren’t pre pared for in the Cotton Bowl. Traveling to Oklahoma a week later, fans couldn’t have expected them to handle the No. 10 Soon ers on even terms, but that’s what they did for most of the game. “That kind of effort should have been rewarded better,” Fla nagan said of SMU’s 24-10 loss at Oklahoma, which he watched on crutches on the sideline. “I would like to have been out there with that kind of effort.” His replace ment, Chris James, completed 19 of 31 passes for 215 yards and an intercep tion. Texas Christ ian players and coaches expressed excitement prior to Thursday night’s nationally televised game at Kansas, but it was the host that stepped up to the prime time pressure. Frogs linebacker coach Charlie Rizzo said before TCU’s 38-20 loss on ESPN: “If this one can’t get your motor running, you need to change your oil.” Texas played the first of six straight games Saturday, defeat ing Pittsburgh 38-27 at Memorial Stadium, and they might face most of the rest without one of their leaders. Standout defensive end Tony Brackens will undergo magnetic resonance imaging tests this week on a fracture just below his left kneecap. The injury could keep him out up to four weeks. It also means the Longhorns had to improvise on pass rushes i without the 6-4, 250-pound men I ace to quarterbacks. “One injury has a domino e: feet with several other players, coach John Mackovic said. Senior Brian Vasek replaced Brackens, who was a team co- leader in tackles last year with 90, The Longhorns will also be without right offensive tackle Do minic Bustamante, who went down with a strained ligament in his right knee. He also might miss four games, including next week’s clash at Notre Dame. Rice’s 17-15 loss to Tulane was the fourth straight by a Ken Hatfield-coached team to the Green Wave. Hatfield’s Air Force teams dropped two games to Tulane and he is 0-2 against them at Rice. The all-time Rice-Tulane series now is at 10-10-1. “My congratulations goto Tulane. They have made a great improvement from their first game (a loss to Mary land),” Hatfield said. “I think they are a much better team than we faced a year ago (in a 15-13 loss that was Tulane’s only victory of the year).” When Jackie Sherrill built a juggernaut at Texas A&M in the 1980s, he developed a program that began a reign of terror over the SWC that should continue through the league’s final year. Even with Sherrill’s absence from the SWC since 1988, he has still managed to inflict pain on his former foes. Mississippi State’s 30-21 win over Baylor Saturday makes Sherrill 3-0 against his old league. Beauty Lounge $ 30 00 facial 1/2 off now $ 15 00 Enjoy a stress free hr!
