Weather forecasters say that, by New Years Day, an arctic front will have swept deep into Texas, dropping the game time temperature in Dallas a couple degrees below freezing. Add a 15-mph north wind and the chill factor would be about 9 degrees. For tens of thousands of Longhorn fans who will forsake television and trek to Dallas, the questions are. what to do, what to wear? Julie Bushmaker, who's in charge of preventive health care at St. James Hospital in Butte, says to take warm clothes and common sense to the game.

Mike Royko. the Chicago Tribune humor columnist Chlcaio Bears football fan, says, "If lt cold enmtfh whort jrou can to ocatii, stair hoflM." Both of those people sbouM know what they're talkbif about. It was about the same temperature io Chicago and Butte on Thursday as is forecast for Dallas on Tuesday, wben Texas facet Miami. "What we tell people is to dress appropriately," says Ms. Bushmaker.

"Wear a hat and gloves. People lose most of their body heat through the extremities the fingertips, ear tips, nose and cheeks. Be sure to cover up those areas." Royko says: "No matter how you dress, it's impossible to dress warm enough. And if you do dress warm enough, you are almost immobilised." Spanky Stephens, trainer for the University of Texas football team, says his players will wear long underwear, covered by bicycle tights and their normal Hit qurttrtoack wfll cam hand in UM twekttji of hlf jtrwjr.

Bushmaker says spectators should drink "tots of fluids. That helps with the circulation of blood. But not alcohol. That causes dehydration and loss of senses that are needed to know whether the body is getting too cold." Royko saya, "The game probably would be good for a hangover. Take off your hat and let the wind blow for a while.

That throbbing head will go numb." Royko considers the dilemma of those who want to experience the game without actually braving the elements and suggests: "Of course, you could stay home and watch the game (on TV) and stick your head in the freezer." Houston without Pennison Oilers replace 4 players Off balance Piston AP Laserphoto Detroit Pistons James Edwards, 53, has his shot knocked off balance by San Antonio Spurs Terry Cummings, right, dur ing first quarter action at a recent game at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Mich.

Players of year announced DALLAS (AP) Five players, including the second leading rusher in Texas high school history, have been named to the second annual Whataburger- Texas Football High School Player of the Year Awards. The 1990 players are running back Rodney Thomas of Groveton, running back Louis File of Waco, quarterback Tom my Preston of College Station Consolidated, running back Derrick Richardson of Vernon and quarterback Kevin Cavanaugh of Bartlett.

HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Oilers will have four new players in the lineup for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, including Pro Bowl guard Bruce Matthews starting at center in place of benched Jay Pennison. Cody Carlson will also replace Pro Bowl quarterback Warren Moon. Moon, having the best season of his career, suffered a dislocated thumb in Sunday's 40-20 loss to Cincinnati. Pennison, a starter for the past five years, was benched by offensive line coach Bob Young in an effort to bolster the Oilers' running game.

Doug Dawson will move into Matthews' right guard position. a great kid who works hard, but he's mostly a pass blocker," Young said. "We put Bruce at center and Dawson at guard to try to perk up the running name." Matthews said he prefers his SPORTS HOTLINE 1-900-246-1410 Rio News said. "We can't fet caught up in second-cueMing. The toufbest thing is Just centering the ball and remembering the count" old position.

"I'd like to stay at guard, but forces greater than myself make these adjustments," Matthews OFF NTN.il. FOOD STOMS BRING THIS COUPON IN AND RECEIVE A REDEEMABLE GROCERY COUPON VAILABLE ON NEW.
