In addition to several great
plays in practice, Brooks made a
brilliant one-armed grab for a
touchdown in Sunday night’s
exhibition game against the
Raiders. A much smaller Watson
brings speed and excellent pat
tern running skills.
Tight Ends
At tight end, the departure of
Jay Novacek has been met with
the arrival of David LaFleur.
Novacek’s retirement frees the
Cowboys offense to plan for his
absence. No longer burdened
with doubts about his ability to
play, the Cowboys drafted a mas
sive standout tight end from
Louisiana State University, David
LaFleur. At 6 feet, 7 inches and 280
pounds, this 22-year-old should
leave tacklers on their backs.
Defensive Line
The absence of Charles Haley
will certainly be felt. The defen
sive line is full of new faces includ
ing free agent tackle Hurvin
McCormack. The line will struggle
to maintain the level of perfor
mance it had in previous seasons.
Only five of the 13 defensive line
men in camp have more than a
year of experience. Some of these
new faces will need to become

CHRONOMAT
At a time when instruments unerringly
cope with Mach 1 flight data, continued
improvements to the mechanical chrono
graph simply underscore that there’s more
to time than technology. A movement’s
intricate beauty or a hand-polished case’s
lustrous gleam do put technological
progress in a broader perspective.
Like the Concord, the world’s first but
surely not last supersonic transport,
Chronomats draw time and space ever
closer with aesthetic excellence as well as
outstanding technical performance.

That was their response in
defense of Caray.
Saying someone is an institu
tion does not make it is all right
to run racist smack on televisioa
Being old does not make it all
right to make racist remarks oil
TV, either.
What kind of message is the
Tribune Company sending us?
Caray should have received
notice then, but he didn’t.He’s
babbling his way through his53ti
year of broadcasting right now.
It should not even comedown
to Caray making racist commen
tary. Besides being ignorant,
Caray is simply a terrible play-by
play man.
He botches every name that
isn’t Smith or Jones. He consis
tently misidentifies players on the
field. He’ll have you believe that
the Philadelphia Phillies aregrea
ball club, because they beat the
Cubs. He throws in an obligator)'
“s” or “sh” to most every wordhf
says. It all goes back to the slob
bering. In short, this makes for
terrible television. Reason
enough to run the old man from
the booth.
This is not to say Harry has
always been a horrific broadcast
er. He only has for as long as
most of us can remember. Caray
was named, “Baseball Announce!
of the Year,” for seven yearsina
row by the Sporting News during
the fifties while with the St. Louis
Cardinals. In 1989, he was
inducted to the American
Sportscasters Hall of Fame.
But, those years are long gone
There comes a time when it is
necessary to say goodbye.
Unfortunately, Harry says he'll
never do it, and The Tribune
Company does not get it either,
Caray will continue to make
watching Cubs baseball games a
teeth-pulling like experienceuntl
he dies in the broadcast booth.
