Astro move will be decided this weel
McLane, Lanier discuss new stadium terms
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
Astros owner Drayton McLane Jr.,
who says he will decide this week
whether to put his team up for
sale, met Wednesday with Mayor
Bob Lanier.
But the
mayor wouldn’t
reveal whether
McLane
any progress in
stadium talks
had been made
during the meet
ing at his home.
“It’s still down
to the final ele
ments,” Lanier
said. “No closure has been reached.
It’s pretty close. We had a good
meeting, really no details that I’ll say
anything about.”
McLane didn’t immediately
return telephone calls from The
Associated Press seeking comment.
McLane, whose team is sag
ging in its bid to reach atten
dance goals he set to keep the
Astros in town, on Tuesday
declined to say what he wanted
to discuss with Lanier.
“I see this as a key week,”
McLane said. “We either get this
done or we don’t get this done.”
McLane, who has skipped sev
eral ultimatums for a local stadi
um deal this summer, repeatedly
has said he will shop the team
unless he can get a good package
from Harris County.
He set an Aug. 1 deadline and
a Sept. 3 deadline, only to con
tinue negotiations with Harris
County Judge Robert Eckels.
Eckels, who has spent much of
the year trying to negotiate a deal
with McLane, didn’t attend
Wednesday’s meeting, Eckels
spokeswoman Sally Lehr said.
Eckels has proposed that the
county erect a 42,000-seat,
retractable-roof ballpark, with the
Astros paying as little as 15 per
cent of the $250 million price tag.
The county would pay $180
million in construction costs and
the private sector other than
McLane at least $40 million, with
Lanier promising the city would
guarantee $15 million in the sale
of permanent seat licenses.
McLane has said if he can’t
strike a deal in Houston, he will
resume talks with Virginia busi
nessman Bill Collins, who last
year offered a reported $160 mil
lion for the Astros. He wants to
move the team to Virginia.
McLane initially said at least
2.7 million people must attend
games this season, but he revised
the figure to 2.2 million, an aver
age of 27,100 per home game.
On Tuesday, the Astros drew a
season-low 12,700 fans, dropping
their average to 24,482.

Improved Cowboy defense key to Super Bowl retun
IRVING (AP) — If the Dallas
Cowboys get back to another
Super Bowl, the defense may have
to carry the load.
Last year it was the offense that
earned Dallas its third Super Bowl
ring in four years. The defense was
only the 16th best in the NFL.
It’s not the “Doomsday Defense”
like the Cowboys had in the 1970s,
but it may be better than last year’s
Super Bowl champions.
“I’ve been telling everyone we
have a better defense than last
year,” said wide receiver-corner-
back Deion Sanders. “Because of
all the acquisitions we’ve made,
we’re definitely better.”
The early September statistics
give credence to Sanders’ observa
tion. The Cowboys currently own
the third best defense in the NFL.
Some of the credit goes to coor
dinator Dave Campo who saw line
backers Dixon Edwards and Robert
Jones, tackle Russell Maryland, and
cornerback Larry Brown walk
through the free-agent door.
Campo has taken such new
comers as linebackers Fred
Strickland and Broderick Thomas
and lineman Tony Casillas and
worked them into a cohesive unit
that plays a more aggressive game
than the 1995 Cowboys.
“We have a much more aggres
sive scheme this year,” said Dallas
coach Barry Switzer. “We are more
physical and thicker inside. And
we’re not as predictable as we
have been in the past. We’re not
missing tackles and have very few
mentals (mistakes). With Kevin
Smith back and teaming with
Deion on the corners, we’re get
ting a lot of coverage sacks.”
Smith, who missed the sea
son last year after getting hurt in
the opener, has rebounded
strongly with two interceptions
in two games.
“Having Smith back has really
helped us,” Switzer said. “It has
been a big key to the way we are
playing on defense.”
Casillas has given the Cowboys
depth in the solid first team
defensive line featuring Tony
Tolbert and Charles Haley at the
ends, and Chad Hennings and
