Sporfa Del ftlft, (Ttui) NiWS-HMALD, MftMjy, JirWiry 17, Cowboys to face Redskins for berth in Super Bowl IRVING (AP) Washington wanted Dallas. Washington gets Dallas. Dallas outlasted the Green Bay Packers Sunday in a wild, freewheeling battle to setup a Cowboys vs. Redskins Shootout Saturday for the Na- tlonal Football Conference championship. Washington's only loss this year was 24-10 Dec.

5 to the Cowboys. The Redskins' fans rocked RFK Stadium on Saturday with the chant "We Want Dallas" in Washington's playoff victory over Minnesota, 21-7. And how will Dallas Coach Tom Landry feel being surrounded by all those Redskins, not unlike his American Ex- press commercial? "It's for the championship, We'll go anywhere," Landry said, wishing it was going to be as easy as swinging through the saloon doors of his commercial and leaving his adversaries behind. The Cowboys had to survive a pumped-up Packer team to make it to their 10th NFC championship game in 13 years. It took 14 points in 14 seconds, three field goals by Rafael Septien, a fourth quarter touchdown pass by Danny White, a 49-yard "receiver-to-receiver" pass, an 89-yard kickoff return by rookie Rod Hill, and three interceptions by Dennis Thurman to subdue the Pack.

Dallas built a 20-7 halftime lead and molt teams would have wandered to their dressing room in shock. After two Septien field goals in the first quarter, Green Bay took a 7-6 lead on a six-yard Lynn Dickey to James Lofton pass. Then Dallas struck. Timmy Newsome scored on a two-yard run with 1:18 left. Fourteen seconds later Dennis Thurman returned a Dickey pass 39 yards for a touchdown.

Refusing to belly up, Green Bay's Jan Stenerud kicked two field goals to another one for Septien after Hill's kickoff return. Then the Packers struck. Lofton dashed 71 yards for a touchdown on an end-around to narrow the count to 23-19 in the fourth period after Hill blocked the extra point. Stung, White took the Cowboys 80 yards and flipped a seven-yard scoring pass to tight end Doug Cosbie. Green Bay retaliated on Mark Lee's 22-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Then Landry decided enough was enough. He ordered wide receiver Drew Pearson to throw to wide receiver Tony Hill. The play covered 49 yards and fullback Robert NewhoUse rushed the final yard for the game-clinching touchdown at 4:22 to play. Thurman intercepted his third pass at the Dallas goal in the final minute to beat back the Packers' final thrust. He said the home-field crowd would be a big advantage to the Redskins.

"Up there you just hope you can hear the signal count," Landry said. "But we have played there before so we know what to expect. "Washington is on a roll now much like the (San Francisco) 49ers last year. We'll have to eliminate the errors we made against Green Bay, because Washington will not make any mistakes." Landry added, "The Washington fans wanted us and we are happy to ac- comodate. It should be a great game." Guys Cuff BYCARLGUYS Jim Who, Dad? Yesterday one of the sports news breaks on the TV flashed across the welcome words which told of the great Jim Thorpe's Olympic medals being returned.

My 13-year old Pete looks over at me and asks: "Jim who, Dad?" I'll tell you "Jim Son. Jim Thorpe was the great Indian athlete from Carlisle, Pa. He was versatile and good at anything he tried. He also was named the greatest football star of the half-century by The Associated Press. Thorpe was a Sac-Fox Indian who won both the penthathlon and decathlon in the 1912 Olympics at Stockholm.

However, the tremendously versatile athlete was stripped of his Olympic medals for previously playing minor league baseball for a pittance and, naively, under his own name. Thorpe, competing when track and field techniques barely were emerging from the comparative privacy of blue-blooded athletic clubs, won four of five pentathlons and four of 10 decathlon tests at Stockholm. The Carlisle Indian was an athlete for all seasons. He could do it all, including Herculean exploits on the Crusaders travel The Sacred Heart Academy Crusader basketball teams travel to Comstock to face the junior high Pan- therettes and Panthers today at 6 and 7:30 p.m. The Crusader girls' starters are Magdalena Hinojosa, Molly Callahan, Winnie Sellers, Robin Wardlaw and Lori Santry.

The alternates are Laura Brown, Christine Cardenas, Cora Hernandez. Lisa Villarreal, Lisa Cardenas, Frances Wardlaw, Yvonne Anguiano and Julie Hargrove. The Crusader boys squad will have Jose Ramon, Jesus Hinojosa, Placido Martinez, Francisco Rodriguez, Ricky Gomez, Eduardo Nerain, Marco Ramon, Roger Debinski, Luis Ramirez, Ricardo Pereda, Jacob Kusenberger and Luis Villerael. lacrosse field. A tale which grew out of his football prowess as far back as 1923 still finds its way into print.

It was 11 years after his golden Olympic accomplishments that Thorpe was playing with the Toldeo Maroons. They were meeting the Oklahoma All-Stars, who had just taken on a young rookie named Steve Owen. The strong young Okie star defensive tackle stormed in and decked Thorpe who was blocking for a teammate the first two plays. Owen, smiling triumphantly, couldn't help beating his breast to a teammate: "Old Jim has slowed up, I guess. He doesn't care for this blocking business, anymore." The ball was snapped for the third time and Owen, secure in his assessment of the sitution, came crashing through again.

Only this time he ignored Thorpe and went straight for the ballcarrier. The next thing he remembered was being on the ground in a heap, sledge hammers pounding in his head. Stunned and shaken, Owen wobbled to his feet and, as he did, someone patted him gently on his back and whispered into his ear, "Always keep an eye on the old Indian." Thorpe was an athletic great and each year since 1955 a trophy named in his honor, goes to the most valuable player in the National Football League. It is the oldest and highest professional football award, period. You young dudes may recall that Earl Campbell won it three times.

And some of you football followers of the 1960s and 70s recall that such grid greats as Norm Van Brocklin, Y.A. Title, Jim Taylor, Jim Brown, Lenny Moore, Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Roman Gabriel, John Brodie, Bob Griese, Larry Brown, O.J. Simpson, Ken Stabler, Fran Tarkinton, Bert Jones and Walter Payton also have Jim Thorpe trophies. Jim who? Jim Thorpe is a legend and simply the greatest football player of his time and of the first half-century. That's 30!

Brackett girls seek 20th straight win BRACKETTVILLE the Brackettville Tigerettes will seek their 20th consecutive victory and their seventh district win here Tuesday night.

The Brackett belles will meet the 11-6 and 5-1 Dilley Queens at 6 p.m. in an important District 30-AA contest. The Tigers take on the Dilley Wolves in the second game. Dilley is 2-3, as are the Tigers in league play. Dee Dee Bowers, head coach for the Tigerettes, "we expect a tough game from the Dilley girls.

They have a fine running team and that little Melinda Hernandez is a good shooter. We played them in the finals of our invitational tournament and were fortunate to win by nine points. However, we're not looking beyond the tipoff." Dilley's head girls' coach is Becky Moore, who said that her players are improved and are going to Brackettville with the intention of winning. "We had to make three trips to their tournament and we were a bit tired the last night," she said. She also said the Tigerettes are taller but that her Queens will "run and gun, looking for the good shot and, hopefully not force anything up.

We can't afford to give them the chance at rebounding all night or they'll dominate the game." The Dilley girls' only district setback came on a decision by Natalia last Tuesday, 39-38. Moore said that the Queens average about 45 points a game this season. The Tigerettes average 54. Hernandez, a 5-4 senior, is averaging in double figures. The Dilley starting five will have three juniors in 5-7 Yolanda Garcia, 5-6 Sandy Rios and 5-7 Vickie Schulte plus 5-7 sophomore Mary Stiegler.

The Tigerettes will counter with Barb Forbes, Lisa Slaughter, Lashawn and Leisha Wardlaw and Elida Estrada for starters with solid back-up support from Rhea Slaughter, Elda Estrada, Ginger Hooten and Rosie Rodriguez. The Tigers will start Walter Dyer, Jeff Burgess, Carlos Guajardo, Roger Brown and Paul Flores. Finals Saturday in grade tourney Walter Levermann, director of Del Rio schools' physical education program, said today that the elementary basketball tournament finals will be played Saturday in the 7th grade campus gymnasium. "There will be some achievement testing going on in the mall area at our high school ne: Saturday and basketball with all the whistling anc shouting would not be a good neighbor. So, we will stage the final day's play in the 7th grade gym on Waters Street," Levermann said.

He said that the final day's play has an "iffy" complex. "If the Lamar girls beat North Heights in the 8:30 a.m. game they will be the tourney champs. However, if North Heights wins that contest, the two teams will have to meet again at 3:30 p.m. since the tournament is a double elimination, and Lamar has not lost as yet." The same situation involves the boys division where North Heights and Buena Vista play for the title.

"They will meet at 10 a.m. Saturday and if North Heights win it is all over. Otherwise, the two teams will meet at 4:30 p.m. to decide the boys champion," the tourney director concluded. Little League officers elected The Del Rio American Little League has elected Gerald McCrary as president.

Other officers elected at the recent meeting were Jimmy Wise vice president, Ruth Kusenberger treasurer, Robert De Leon player-agent and Jil Graf, Oscar Hernandez and Bill Lewis, to the board of directors for the 1983 season. McCrary said that the board is accepting applications for managers, coaches, scorekeepers and other volunteers for the new season. He may be reached at 54-4234 or Wise may be contacted at 5-9337. Navratilova snares title Rams, Queens home The John F. Kennedy High School girls and boys basketball squads will invade Cody Wardlaw Gym here Tuesday as guests of the Del Rio Queens and Rams for District 28-AAAAA games.

The Queens will face the Rocket- tes at 6 p.m. while the Rams and Rockets tip off at 7:30 p.m. Bob Young, coach of the Queens, said today that he plans to play six girls including Bobbi Medina, Alice Faith, Kim Mitchell, Mary Schnase, Suzette Dracoulis and Roberta Cortazzo. Tresa Nunley and La Donna Storts are still nursing leg injuries and Blanca Montoya, the only freshman on the vasity squad, is earmarked for the yearling tournament at LaPryor this weekend. Art Gonzales, coach of the Rams, will start Jose Luis Rodriguez, Joe Elder, David Gracia, Randy Cawthon and David Rose, the forward who became eligible this month.

Others to see action include Ralph Cawthorn, Lalo Ramon, Gabin Reb- toy, Oscar Perez, Danny McDuff and Eddie DeLeon. The district action is set for Cody Wardlaw Gym on the 8th grade campus. Dolphins rout Chargers A HOUSTON (AP) Martina Navratilova has won 100 of her last 103 matches, accounting for 17 tournament victories in her last 20 starts over the past 13 months. That was easy compared to her next challenge speaking before 800 telephone company salesmen. Navratilova added West Germany's Sylvia Hanika to the string Sunday with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) victory to earn $28,000 in the finals of the $150,000 Virginia Slims of Houston tennis tournamet.

Navratilova speaks to the salesmen Tuesday in Chicago, "I'm supposed to talk about teamwork, got any ideas?" said Navratilova, seemingly more worried about her speech than her tennis opponents. "I'm really nervous about it. It's something I've never done, but it's good to get up in front of people and see what you can do." Navratilova got up in front of 5,984 tennis fans Sunday night and stumbled only briefly against Hanika in continuing her domination of the women's tennis tour. MIAMI AP) Miami Coach Don Shula wore a broad smile and his eyes glowed in anticipation of next Sunday's American Conference championship game against the New York Jets. "Two teams from the AFC should be some kind of battle," Shula said Sunday after the Dolphins' top- ranked National Football League defense shut down the San Diego Chargers' high-powered offense in a 34-13 semifinal victory.

"We all have a great deal of respect for the Jets," said Shula, whose club defeated New York twice during the strike- shortened, nine-game regular season. "We didn't beat them for four years, so we know what they are capable of doing to us." The 8-3 Jets, who defeated the Los Angeles Raiders 17-14 in the other AFC semifinal on Saturday, and the 9-2 Dolphins will collide at 1 p.m. EST in the Orange Bowl. The winner will advance to Super Bowl XVII in Pasadena, on Jan. 30.

"The Jets have always been tough on us, 1 said Miami quarterback David Woodley, alluding to New York's string of seven victories and one tie against the Dolphins from 1978-81. "We've been doing some good things against them this season and we'll need to continue." The Dolphins snapped the eight-game winless streak with a 45-28 season-opening victory at New York, and nipped the Jets 20-19 on Uwe von Schamann's last-minute field goal last month. Sunday's triumph avenged a bitter 41-38 overtime loss to the Chargers in the AFC semifinals a year ago, and again left San Diego frustrated in its pursuit of the Super Bowl. "I still think this is a great team and I'm proud to be a part of it," said quarterback Dan Fouts, rejecting suggestions that the Chargers added to their reputation of not being able to win "big" games. "I wouldn't trade places with anyone." Fouts, however, did not try to hide the frustration.

"The older you get, the disappointment is a little more," said Fouts.
