PRO FOOTBALL : NFL Roundup : 40,622 See Cowboys Romp; White and Dorsett Draw Boos

Texas Stadium rocked with cheers for the replacement players and boos for veterans Tony Dorsett and Danny White as the Dallas Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 41-22, Sunday at Irving, Tex.

The announced crowd of 40,622 was the largest so far in the two weekends of NFL replacement games, but was still the lowest for the Cowboys at home since 1965.

Kelvin Edwards ran 62 yards for a touchdown on a reverse on Dallas’ first play and the Cowboys added two more touchdowns on their next four plays to rout the outmanned Eagles.

Dorsett was booed after he scored on a 10-yard run and White, who was booed when he entered the game, drew cheers when he was sacked by the Eagles.

Dorsett, interviewed on a darkened team bus after he avoided the press room, said: “I expected what happened. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last. It didn’t really concern me.”

Defensive tackle Randy White, who refused to honor the picket line established by striking NFL regulars, was cheered as he entered the tunnel leaving the field.

Dallas is 3-1 after winning its first game at home this season. The Eagles are 1-3.

The Cowboys’ three first-quarter touchdowns came on Edwards’ run, an eight-yard run by Alvin Blount, and a 77-yard touchdown pass play, Kevin Sweeney to Cornell Burbage.

Luis Zendejas kicked field goals of 44 and 50 yards for Dallas and Blount also scored on a one-yard run.

The Eagles’ Scott Tinsley, a former USC quarterback, threw scoring passes of 62 yards to Kevin Bowman and 13 yards each to Mike Siano and Topper Clemons.

White and Dorsett did not play last week against the New York Jets, although they were available.

Dallas Coach Tom Landry said he used them some Sunday “to keep them from getting rusty.”

The Cowboys played veterans Don Smerek, Ed Jones and Randy White on defense.

St. Louis 24, New Orleans 19--With a combined total of 30 players who crossed the picket line--18 from the Cardinals--this game at St. Louis figured to be a notch above the others. It wasn’t.

The Cardinals returned two fumbles for touchdowns and recovered a third late in this game at St. Louis, which drew only 11,975.

Mark Jackson returned a fumbled snap on a field-goal attempt 77 yards for St. Louis’ first touchdown.

New Orleans (2-2) had the football for 39:35, nearly two-thirds of the game, ran the ball 48 times and had a 29-10 edge in first downs, but kept self-destructing.

St. Louis (2-2) tackled New Orleans punter Tommy Barnhardt after a high snap at the Saint 26 early in the fourth quarter to set up a two-yard touchdown run by backup quarterback Sammy Garza, and Saint running back Dwight Beverly lost a fumble with 4:18 left.

In addition, New Orleans missed two of three extra-point attempts.

Cincinnati 17, Seattle 10--A crowd of 31,739 turned out in the 64,984-seat Kingdome in Seattle and saw the Cincinnati defense, led by regulars Reggie Williams and Eddie Edwards, help the Bengals beat the Seahawks.

The crowd was 15,709 more than the 19,448 that watched the Seahawks beat Miami last Sunday in Seattle.

Williams, a linebacker who played for Cincinnati last weekend against San Diego, had two sacks and Edwards, a defensive end who crossed Cincinnati’s picket lines last Wednesday, had one.

San Francisco 25, Atlanta 17--With strike-breaking veterans Joe Montana, Roger Craig and Joe Cribbs in the lineup, the 49ers had a closer-than-expected victory over the Falcons before only 8,684 spectators at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta.

Montana, playing less than a half, completed 5 of 8 passes for 62 yards, including a six-yard touchdown pass to Dwight Clark, another returning regular.

Craig and Cribbs, who also played less than a half, rushed for 92 and 68 yards, respectively, with Craig scoring on a one-yard run.

The 49ers (3-1) built a 20-0 halftime while outgaining the Falcons 261 yards to 56. Atlanta (1-3) was a 22 1/2-point underdog to San Francisco, which had 12 players cross the picket line this week to rejoin the team.

Indianapolis 6, N.Y. Jets 0--The Colts won at Indianapolis on two field goals from former USC kicker Steve Jordan, who was doing construction work in San Francisco before the strike.

The attendance of 34,927, and the crowd included hundreds who stood outside the stadium in cold and windy conditions to buy tickets.

Jordan kicked field goals of 25 and 35 yards in the Hoosier Dome and the Colts shut out an opponent for the first time since beating the Jets, 20-0, in 1976.

Colt quarterback Gary Hogeboom, one of six Indianapolis veterans to cross picket lines, suffered a cracked rib midway through the fourth quarter and is questionable for next week’s game. He completed 15 of 28 attempts for 115 yards.

Former UCLA quarterback David Norrie, who started for the Jets, completed 17 of 35 passes for 163 yards and was sacked 4 times. The Jets amassed just 66 yards rushing.

The second straight victory by the Colts’ replacements lifted the team to 2-2, its best start since moving to Indianapolis in 1984. The Jets fell to 2-2.

San Diego 17, Tampa Bay 13--Rick Neuheisel, another former UCLA quarterback, came off the bench to lead three second-half scoring drives as the Chargers won at Tampa, Fla.

A crowd of 23,873 sloshed through the rain to watch the first game in Tampa Stadium since the strike. Part of the lure was a “Bonus Giveaway” held by management.

Neuheisel replaced Mike Kelley at quarterback for San Diego midway through the second quarter. The Chargers trailed, 10-0, at halftime, but scored on their first three possessions of the second half to take a 17-10 lead.

Neuheisel completed 18 of 22 passes for 217 yards, threw the game-winning touchdown pass, a 19-yarder to ex-Raider Tim Moffett, with 13 minutes remaining in the game.

San Diego improved its record to 3-1 with its second replacement victory. Tampa Bay is 2-2, 1-1 in strike games.

Houston 15, Cleveland 10--The Oilers, demonstrating a ball-control offense and a steady defense that stymied Cleveland’s running game, used a fourth-quarter safety and interception to win at Cleveland.

A crowd of 38,927 attended the game, representing more than half of the 73,000 who originally bought tickets. A handful of fans carried pickets outside Cleveland Stadium, bearing such slogans as “Fans On Strike Against Owners and Players.”

While Cleveland dropped to 2-2, Houston is 3-1 after two straight road wins and is off to its best start since 1979.

Oiler Coach Jerry Glanville said: “I was told these guys were going to buy three dozen eggs, go down and sit by the railroad tracks and tell our regular team that they better not screw up this good record.”

Detroit 19, Green Bay 16--Mike Prindle kicked a 31-yard field goal with 2:34 left in overtime to give the Lions an overtime victory before a crowd of 35,779 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Prindle, who missed a 42-yarder with 10 minutes to go in overtime, kicked his fourth field goal of the game to give Detroit’s replacement team its first victory.

Detroit is 1-3, Green Bay 1-2-1.

New England 14, Buffalo 7--Mike LeBlanc, who failed in two tryouts with the Patriots, ran for 146 in 35 carries to lead New England in the rain at Foxboro, Mass.

The smallest Patriots’ home crowd in 26 years, 11,878, attended the game and was the club’s smallest since Oct. 22, 1961, when 9,398 people saw New England beat Buffalo, 52-21.

New England (2-2) cut LeBlanc, who set a Stephen F. Austin career school record for rushing average, in the 1985 and 1986 training camps. He was with Winnipeg of the Canadian Football League in 1986 and 1987 but didn’t play.

Buffalo is 1-3.

Miami 42, Kansas City 0--Liffort Hobley, the one union member on the Dolphins to cross the picket line, returned a fumble 55 yards for a touchdown during Miami’s lopsided victory over Kansas City at Miami.

The first regular-season game in Joe Robbie Stadium ended with 25,867 fans chanting “Stay on strike, stay on strike.”

All grand-opening festivities at the new 74,993-seat facility were canceled because of the strike. But Dolphin owner Joe Robbie was all smiles as the rain-drenched fans turned to his private box and cheered when the score reached 35-0.

“It’s ironic that after spending more than $100 million to build a new stadium, I would have to cross a picket line manned by my own players to see the game,” Robbie said. “But these players that are out there are playing such enthusiastic football . . . it is proving that we can go on with Dolphin football without the regular players.”

The fans gave their loudest cheers for the Miami defense. The regular Dolphins ranked 26th in the league last year. The replacement defense registered the first Miami shutout since late 1985.

Miami is 2-2, Kansas City 1-3.
