IRVING (AP) — There’s good news for Dallas Cowboys fans fretting over Troy Aikman’s in jury" Deion Sanders has begun working out and could be in uniform by next weekend. Sanders surprised coaches Wednesday by working out lightly with the defensive backs, both at right and left cornerback, and running pass routes during skeleton drills. “Deion did some drills, he back-pedaled, played some one-on-one coverage,” coach Barry Switzer said. “He was half-speed, but he looked good doing what he was doing. “I was excited. I got to see a $35 million man practice. It was my first time seeing that.” Defensive coordinator Dave Campo also was excited to get his first glimpse at Sanders. “It was kind of fun watching him run around a little bit and see in my eyes that his ankle is starting to feel good, and he’s ready to move around,” Campo said. Sanders had surgery on his left ankle Sept. 25 and doctors removed two bone fragments. His ankle is fine, although Switzer said the concern now is Sanders’ left calf muscle, which has atro phied slightly. It’s not certain when Sanders will be ready, although the Cowboys are optimistic he could suit up next weekend against San Diego. Dallas hosts Green Bay this Sunday. Sanders and Aikman, who has a strained right calf, both will be inactive. In other Cowboy news, Jerry Jones has done it again, defying the National Football League by announcing a deal Thursday with American Ex press, although Visa is the league’s official charge card. American Express Travel Related Services Co. Inc. said it will become the official credit card of Texas Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Jones owns both. Terms of the multiyear contract, which has been rumored for weeks, weren’t released. American Express said in a news release that the deal means its credit cards will be the only ones accepted to buy season football tickets. The company’s card members also can get special ticket access to sporting events and concerts. Be ginning Friday, a limited number of Texas Stadi um tickets will be available to American Express gold and platinum members. The deal didn’t appear to exclude them Visa credit cards for tickets or merchandise! the stadium. Cowboys spokesmen said they is] no further information, and American Exprs officials didn’t immediately return telepks calls. The NFL responded to the deal by saying: “does not change the fact that Visa is theoioi credit card of the National Football Leagues its 30 clubs. By' Thi tin twc Ag| wil bus Oilers, Moon both far off from ’94 form fair Ad' par □ The quarterback faces his old team for the first time since the trade. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — It’s hard to say who has fallen further since the Houston Oilers traded Warren Moon to the Minnesota Vikings in April 1994. The Oilers reached the playoffs in each of Moon’s last seven sea sons, but they have lost 17 of their 21 games since his depar ture. That includes last week’s loss to a previously winless ex pansion team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Moon, meanwhile, has had his once idyllic off-field reputation shredded. Once the NFL’s Man of the Year for his charitable work, his image now is shaped by alle gations he beat his wife, sexually harassed an ex-cheerleader and operates a financially irresponsi ble charity. After spending 10 spectacular seasons in Houston, Moon will face his former team for the first time Sunday when the Oilers (2-3) vis it the Vikings (2-2), who are coming off their bye week. Moon wouldn’t talk about it this week, keeping up his boycott of the local media, and others downplayed the matchup in an era when free agency has made player move ment normal. “It doesn’t matter how many years Warren played in Houston,” said Minnesota coach Dennis Green. “In the NFL now, this is a very common thing. Very few guys stay with the same team.” Minnesota safety Charles Min- cy, an offseason acquisition from Kansas City, practiced against his former teammates in preseason and played against them in an exhibi tion game. “It was a little weird,” Mincy said. “But now things change so much, half the dudes I did n’t even know. There’s still some unity there, but a lot of the guys I just wasn’t famil iar with.” But Moon and Houston had a special relationship for the decade after the Oilers outbid several teams to lure him from the CFL in February 1984. Moon restored excitement a i franchise that had languish since the late 1970s. Houston™ just 10 games in the threesk sons before Moon arrived, aii only 13 in his first three years, But the Oilers made the pis ; offs every year after that, finis! i ing first in the AFC Central: 1991 and 1993 and tying for tk division title in 1990. On the w Moon became Houston’s cam leader in passing yards (33,685 attempts (4,546), completion (2,632) and touchdowns (196), “Warren is still a verypopuls person here in Houston,” said Oi ers coach Jeff Fisher, who* hired as Houston’s defensive cm dinator two months before Mo: was traded. “He had a lot of grs victories and many success!: games here. It’s obvious to thus that are watching film thatl can still play.” INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE Explore the world of Schlumberger @ http:llwww.slb.com INFORMATION MEETING: Date: October 23, 1995 Time: 6:00pm-8:15pm Place: Memorial Student Center #201 INTERVIEWING: Date: October 24 & 25. 1995 Individual initiative has always played a major role in Schlumberger’s growth and technological leadership.
