"New Braunfels kids are something else when it comes to competition." The Eagles were undefeated during the regular season as well. For the Blue, Jeff Bryan opened the scoring five minutes into the game with a 10-yard shot from right wing. Smithson Valley, with the wind at its back, kept the pressure on the Blue defenders and were able to tie the game at the 25-minute mark. "We made some adjustments at the half," said New Braunfels Coach Bob Thrift. "We pulled our striker back to an offensive halfback position, this allowed us to control the center and shoot our outside halfbacks." Craig Morrison opened the second half scoring with a five-yard goal from the left post to give New Braunfels a 2-1 lead.

The Blue increased its lead to 3-1 when halfback Tony Ramirez drilled a 40-yard goal past the United goalie. The Blue began to control the game at this point and capped the scoring when winger Victor Rodriguez crossed to Ramirez for a 10-yard goal. Thrift said New' Braunfels goalie Mike Shuler played an outstanding game, as did fullback Wade Ohnheiser. Oiler 'family' hires Glanville as coach Briefly HOUSTON (AP) Houston Oilers owner Bud Adams had just talked about his club becoming a family and Jerry Glanville looked like he'd just received the keys to the family car as he sped away from the Oilers' practice facility. The smile on face and the screech of his car tires told the story.

Glanville, the team's interim coach for the final two games of the season, survived weeks of speculation, scrutiny and the challenge, of other finalists to become coach of the National League franchise Monday. General Manager Ladd Herzeg, after conducting the most extensive coaching search in the club's history, decided he already had the best available coach. Adams and player personnel director Mike Holovak concurred, so the Oilers gave Glanville a five-year contract and the command to push the Oilers into the NFL playoffs next season. Everyone agreed the family approach would get them there. "One thing we all agreed on is that we will all be family," Glanville said.

"We'll have) arguments but we'll all come together before we leave the office." The Oilers, who struggled through two divisive seasons under Hugh Campbell, also will have a visible owner for the first time in five years. Adams said his emergence was all in the interest of creating a family atmosphere to the organization. "I don't know the players and I don'l think that's conducive to-a winning club," Adams said. "I think they'd like to know the owner. If we are going to have loyalty around here, they have to know the owner." Disharmony within the organization was a recurring theme until Campbell was fired Dec.

9 with two games remaining in the season. Glanville took charge of the team on an interim basis and the Oilers lost the final two games. Campbell called for more togetherness shortly before his firing, hinting at front office interference with his coaching duties. Glanville said he would have no such excuse. "I've been given all the power and authority I need to get the job done," Glanville said.

"I can't comment on how it was before because I wasn't a part of it." McMahon won't be stuck in New Orleans NEW ORLEANS (AP) Jim McMahon would like to be able to do some running around during the Super Bowl, if not before it. For the moment, though, there's a sticking point. It's on the end of an acupuncturist's needle and McMuhon would like it to be in his end. Literally. The free-spirit quarterback of the Chicago Bears swears by acupuncture, but when the team arrived here Monday, he was all but swearing at the Bears' management for refusing to let Hiroshi Shiriashi on the team plane.

"The butt hurts," he said. "Hopefully, we can get the guy down here tomorrow." McMahon said he likely would fly Shiriashi at his own expense to this Super Bowl city, if necessary. Sports World McMahon, who has had more than his share of bumps and bruises in his four seasons in the National Football League, took a helmet in the rump during the Jan. 12 NFC championship game, the 24-0 wipeout of the Los Angeles Rams. He didn't paricipate in last week's practices for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots because, he said, it pains him to run, to sit, to follow through on his passes.

He also spent a few moments graphically describing the difficulties encountered in performing a more basic human function. McMahon said Shiriashi, the trainer fpr the Japanese national track team, had administered a treatment before the team left Chicago Monday and that. McMahon wanted three more two-a-day treatments. That the Bears frowned upon such treatment was irrelevant, McMahon said. "It doesn't matter if they approve or if they don't approve as long as it works.

I had it done earlier today and I could use some more treatments. It relieved a lot of the pressure." McMahon met Shiriashi through wide receiver Willie Gault, who in turn met him in Tokyo when Gault was an international track star. McMahon said he also had undergone acupuncture while at Brigham Young to successfully relieve neck and shoulder spasms. Bears media relations director Ken Valdiserri said the club would prefer that McMahon stick with more conventional treatment. 500 trout added to spring-fed pool Five hundred more trout weighing from two to three pounds each have been put into the Landa Park spring- fed pool.
