Junior Millie Ondras led the

Hinze said he was pleased with
the women's performance despite
the inexperience of the team.
Running with five freshmen, I
was reasonably pleased,” Hinze

Oilers, Cowboys break even
George, Chandler orchestrate
Houston offensive display
Aikman passes
Giants dizzy
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) —
The Houston Oilers showed the
capacity for the big play on
Sunday. So did Heisman Trophy
winner Eddie George.
George broke open the game
with a 76-yard run that set up
Chris Chandler’s third touch
down pass, and the Oilers hung
on for a 34-27 victory over the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
George, the No. 6 overall pick in
the draft, finished with 143 yards
on 17 carries and one touchdown.
The Oilers (1-1) had a play of
at least 20 yards on five of their
first seven possessions, and they
put the game away with two big
plays by the defense.
Leading 34-20, Blaine Bishop
jarred the ball loose from tight
end Pete Mitchell at the 2-yard
line, and Rafael Robinson recov
ered with 3:08 remaining.
The Jaguars (1-1) made it
close when Chris Hudson
returned a punt 46 yards to the
3, and Keenan McCardell made
a juggling catch for a touch
down to get within 34-27.
Dave Thomas recovered the
onside kick, but Mark Brunell’s
pass on the first play after the
two-minute warning bounced
high off Mitchell’s hands, and
Marcus Robertson dove for the
interception at the 10-yard line.
It was Robertson’s second inter
ception of the game.
Chandler was 14-of-22 for 226
yards, and he continually burned
the Jaguars’ over the middle.
The last big gain on offense,
a 20-yard pass to Chris Sanders,
started a 16-play drive that last
ed more than 10 minutes and
ended with A1 Del Greco’s 29-
yard field goal.
Brunell was 27-of-38 for 302
yards. The Jaguars had no trou
ble moving the ball, but
Houston’s defense came up with
timely plays twice inside the 20.
At first-and-10 from the 11
with Houston leading 17-10,
Gary Walker broke through the
line and stuffed James Stewart
for a 3-yard loss. The Jaguars
then were called for procedure
and wound up settling for a 37-
yard field goal.
Houston led 24-13 at halftime.
Brunell hit six different receivers
on the first drive of the second half
to get down to the 6. But Micheal
Barrow tackled Stewart for a 2-yard
loss, then Brunell didn’t check off
in time and was penalized for
delay of game, and Mike Hollis
missed a 31-yard field goal.
If that didn’t demoralize the
Jaguars, George might have fin
ished them off.
On first-and-20 from the 11-
yard line, Jeff Lageman and Joel
Smeenge had their hands on
George on a draw in the backfield.
He skirted outside, made safety
Travis Davis miss, then galloped to
the 13 for a 76-yard run.
Chandler hit Willie Davis on
an 11-yard touchdown pass two
plays later for a 31-13 lead.
The Jaguars, which held
Pittsburgh to 187 yards last week,
never had an answer for Chandler.
Houston only had to punt once
in the first half while taking a 24-
13 lead.
Aikman
IRVING(AP) — Cancel the
burial detail. The Dallas
Cowboys finally looked like
Super Bowl champions again.
Troy Aikman rediscovered
Dallas’ lost
offense by
throwing
three touch
down passes
Sunday, and
the Cowboys,
stung by a
bumbling
loss to
Chicago, cel
ebrated their
home opener with a 27-0 victo
ry over the New York Giants.
The much-criticized first-
team offense, which hadn’t
scored a touchdown since the
exhibition season opener
against Oakland, went 50, 81,
and 71 yards for touchdowns to
lead 21-0 at intermission.
Emmitt Smith showed no
problems with his neck injury and
rushed for 94 yards on 25 carries.
Aikman completed 19 of 27
passes for 228 yards for the
revamped Cowboys offense.
Chris Boniol hit field goals
of 23 and 29 yards in the sec
ond half as the Cowboys
played conservatively.
The Giants’ Dave Brown hit
only 10 of 19 passes for 55 yards,
and the Dallas defense held
Rodney Hampton to 44 yards on
15 carries. The last time
Hampton played in Texas
Stadium last December, he
rushed for 187 yards.
Graf storms past Seles, 7-5, 6-4
NEW YORK (AP) — Steffi Graf
timed her final volley perfectly,
knocking off Monica Seles once
more and beating a rainstorm by
seconds Sunday to secure a fifth
U.S. Open title.
Near the end of one of the
greatest and worst years of her
life, Graf captured her third
straight Grand Slam title and the
21st of her career to strengthen
arguments that she is the best
women’s tennis player in history.
Amid thunder and lightning,
Graf’s forehand volley clipped
the net cord and hopped out of
Seles’ reach to finish off the 7-5,
6-4 victory.
Graf’s timing and accuracy
were nearly perfect the whole
match. She served 10 aces and
kept Seles scrambling from corner
to corner.
“Steffi clearly is No. 1. Anyone
can see that,’’ said Seles, who still
shares the No. 1 ranking with Graf.
They began this match in hot,
humid, sunny weather, and Graf
set the tone by making Seles work
hard to hold serve in the first
game before tying it 1-1 by hold
ing at love.
Graf broke to 2-1 and stayed
ahead to 5-3 as Seles tried all
kinds of novel tactics for her —
serving and volleying, chipping
and charging, dropping shots —
with little success.
Seles also kept attacking Graf’s
strength, her forehand, but that
didn’t work, either. But serving for
the set at 5-4, Graf finally suffered
one lapse when Seles bore down
and forced her to chase down
shots in the corners. With the first
break point Seles managed, she
capitalized on it with a solid over
head smash to make it 5-5.
But Graf broke right back after
getting four break points and
watching Seles sail a backhand
long at the end of a long rally. Graf
didn’t waste that opportunity,
closing out the set with a service
winner up the middle.
Seles’ serve-and-volley attempt
to start the second set failed, and
Graf broke her, then held serve to
win her fourth straight game. That
was all the lead Graf needed as she
raced the approaching thunder
storm to close out the match.
Sampras secures No. 1 ranking
with Open victory over Chang
NEW YORK (AP) — Staggered and sick one match,
tight and worried the next, Pete Sampras put on an
impeccable show of force and grace in the final Sunday
night to claim his fourth U.S. Open championship.
From his first 125 mph service winner to his last at
117 mph, Sampras defended his title by blowing
away Michael Chang 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in two hours
— a half-hour less than the rain delay after Steffi
Graf’s straight-set victory over Monica Seles for the
women’s title.
Sampras secured his No. 1 ranking and salvaged a
tortured year by dominating Chang in every aspect of
the match, even winning long rallies to prove he could
beat Chang at his own game.
To see Sampras sprinting so lightly, moving so
quickly and hammering shots so hard for his eighth
Grand Slam title, no one who hadn’t heard of his prob
lems a few days earlier would believe he could have
been so close to defeat in the quarterfinals.
“I never thought I’d be here as a winner,”
Sampras said. “This is the most difficult (champi
onship) I ever won. The ranking was up for grabs,
but the title is so much more important than the
ranking. I wanted the title.
“This was one of the best matches I played in my
career. I had to adapt and I did that today. Everything
was clicking. These are the kind of days you dream
about, especially in the final.”
The grit Sampras exhibited in beating Alex Corretja
in the quarters, even after vomiting and wobbling
wearily on court in their fifth-set tiebreaker, showed up
in his unflinching attack against Chang.
