Dallas set for Philadelphia
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Most
coaches don’t talk about the third
game of the season being a “must”
win. But that’s what Barry Switzer
is calling Monday night’s game
against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Dallas coach, mindful of
last season’s sorry September that
put the Cowboys in a deep 1-3
hole, said Tuesday: “We’ve got to
have this one.”
Switzer’s observation came after
his team blew a 15-point lead Sun
day to lose 25-22 in overtime to the
Arizona Cardinals, leveling the
Cowboys record at 1-1.
“Our goal is the home-field ad
vantage,” he said. “This is a must
win. Our (home-field) fate was de
termined in September last year.”
Dallas finished 10-6 last year,
winning a fifth consecutive NFC
East title but entering the playoffs
as a wild card. The Cowboys beat
Minnesota 40-15 at home in the
first game, then tumbled 26-17 to
Carolina on the road.
Puzzling Switzer is the Cowboys
complete turnaround from two
weeks ago when they opened with
a 37-7 thumping of Pittsburgh.

offense going again after a poor showing against the Arizona Cardinals
“We went from the castle to the
privy,” Switzer said. “This is an im
portant game for us, and they (the
Eagles) are a dangerous oppo
nent.”
The two teams traded out in
their divisional series last year with
Dallas winning 23-19 at Philadel
phia and the Eagles winning 31-21
at Texas Stadium.
Switzer said also underlining
the importance of the Eagle visit is
the division standings.
“It’s our first home game and a
division game,” he said. “Our op
ponent is one who has a chance to
win the division along with the
Washington Redskins. Anyone can
beat anyone. ”
The Cowboys were early eight
point favorites over the Hag
who have lost nine of their 1;
games to Dallas.

Young’s condition still questionable
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The 49ers are
considering giving Steve Young another week
off, whether he receives medical clearance to
return from his latest concussion or not.
“That certainly will be something that we
will talk about to the doctors,” coach Steve Mar-
iucci said Monday. “Will another week mini
mize (risks) even more? I’m going to ask that
question, so I can’t give you an answer until I
hear from the doctors.”
Mariucci didn’t rule out the 35-year-old
Young’s return for Sunday’s home opener
against the New Orleans Saints. Team officials
also wary of the implications of exposing Young
to the risk of another concussion.
Young has suffered three in his last 12 games,
and his agent, Leigh Steinberg, has said anoth
er concussion would trigger a serious look at re
tirement for the two-time NFL MVP and five
time passing champion.
Young sustained his latest concussion when
he was kneed in the head by Hardy Nickerson
during San Francisco’s season-opening 13-6
loss at Tampa Bay. He sat out Sunday’s 15-12
win at St. Louis on the recommendation of his
neurologist, Dr. Joseph Lacy.
He visited Lacy on Monday and went over
the results of a brain scan taken last Thursday.
The scan found no abnormalities and Young
was scheduled to see a neurosurgeon for a sec
ond opinion. He has not yet received clearance
to resume playing.
“If the neurologist says I sit, I sit,” Young said.

Griffey faces tough September stretcW
fAPI—A dav before the All-Star For Criffev. who has alreadv Griffev erets to nlav 11 more for the first-nlace Mariners. I
Griffey
(AP) —A day before the All-Star
game, Ken Griffey Jr. was talking
about why Roger Maris’ home run
record will be so hard to break.
“If they don’t pitch to you, you
can’t do it,” he
said back in July
at Jacobs Field:
Boy, did he hit
that one right on
the nose.
Case in point:
On Monday night,
in his first game af
ter reaching 50
home runs, Griffey
drew a not-even-
close, four-pitch walk in the first in
ning at Kansas City, drawing boos
from the crowd at Kauffman Stadium.
Not that the Seattle star was
complaining.
“You know, we do the same to
their players as they do to me,” he
said. “With first base open, the big
RBI guy comes up, he’s going to
first base. Those things happen.”
But what about breaking Maris’
mark of 61 set in 1961? Will that
happen this year?
Both Griffey, who had 18 games
left going into Tuesday night’s date in
Kansas City, and Mark McGwire, who
had 48 home mns and 19 games left
for St. Louis, face tough tasks.
For Griffey, who has already
homered six times this month, it
would take a total of 18 home runs
in September to pass Maris. Only
once in baseball history has a
player hit 18 homers in any month
— Rudy York did it for Detroit in
August 1937.
Griffey’s job isn’t getting any
easier, either.
On Wednesday night at the
Kingdome, he will face Tigers left
hander Justin Thompson, who has
faced Griffey six times this season
and struck him out in every at-bat.
“If I go in there looking just to
do that, I’m going to get beat,”
Thompson said. “Even if I accom
plish what everybody wants me to
do, then I still have to focus on the
other eight hitters.”
Pitching to Junior, however,
gets him juiced up.
“I can feel more adrenaline
rushing through my body,”
Thompson said. “It is big to get a
guy like that out, especially when
you have men on base.”
On Friday night, the Mariners
take on Roger Clemens, who is 21-5
for Toronto and has not allowed a
home run in 561-3 innings. But Grif
fey has done quite well against the
Rocket, going 22-for-53 (.415) life
time with five homers and 12 RBIs.
Griffey gets to play 11 more
games at the Kingdome, a good
park for hitters but not necessari
ly a big advantage to Junior. Of his
career-high 50 home runs this sea
son, 26 have come on the road.
Whether Griffey thinks he can
reach Maris, though, is a mystery.
He ducks, as best as he can, all
questions pertaining to the home
run chase, and instead prefers to
focus on the Mariners’ pursuit of
the AL West title and their first
World Series appearance.
Last week, in the midst of a
four-game series at the
Metrodome in which he hit four
home runs against Minnesota, he
kidded that he should wear a T-
shirt that would list his most-used
answers on the back.
Those answers included “hav
ing fun,” “enjoying myself,” “what
ever happens, happens” and “be
consistent.”
Note that there was nothing
about topping Maris.
“The only thing I want is to be
holding that World Series trophy,”
he said.
No matter what occurs in Octo
ber, Griffey may well he holding
his first MVP award. He is batting
.307 with an AL-leading 134 RBIs
going into Tuesday night’s game
