Hogeboom to start for Cowboys
By DENNE H. FREEMAN
AP Sports Writer
DALLAS Gary Hogeboom, who has never started a
regular-season NFL game, .was chosen yesterday by a
jittery Coach Tom Landry to replace Danny White as the
Dallas Cowboys’ No. 1 quarterback.
Landry said he felt the team needed a spark before its
regular-season opener against Los Angeles on Monday
night and that “I’ve got a feeling Gary is the right one to
start this game
“My feeling about White is the same. He is an excellent
quarterback.”
Landry also said he could change his mind about the
starting job.
“I’m not sure which quarterback will take us to the
Super Bowl, Hogeboom or White, time will tell,” Landry
said. “I hope Gary will live up to it. It may go on forever.
Who knows?”
Landry was so jittery in making the announcement that
at first he said the quarterback replacing White was
(Phil) “Pozderac,” who is an offensive lineman.
Landry corrected that to “Hogenbloom” as he mispro
nounced his new starting quarterback’s name.
Later, the frazzled coach admitted the task was so
unpleasant he wished he was on a lake “fishing with
(former Minnesota Vikings coach) Bud Grant instead of
making decisions like this.”
Hogeboom said he was “excited and looking forward to
the challenge. I know I have to produce. I’ve worked a
long time to get where I’m at.”
He said he realized “if I play bad, they’ll sit me down
just like they do in baseball.”
Asked if it bothered him Landry doesn’t know how to
pronounce his name, Hogeboom laughed and said, “The
coach told me that when I became the starter he would

learn how to pronounce it.”
White, who had started for four seasons but never got
the Cowboys to the Super Bowl, had tears in his eyes
talking about the change.
“In preseason I knew every mistake I made was being
monitored,” he said. “I was surprised in a way and in a
way I wasn’t. I’m upset and still a lot confused about what
the reasons were.”
White said he would still do anything he could to get the
Cowboys to the Super Bowl, including punt. However, he
said his long-range plans were indefinite.
“It would be impossible to accept (second string) on a
permanent basis,” White said. “I will remain dedicated
to this team while I consider my alternatives.”
White, who is making $550,000 this year, said his
alternatives included “staying, being traded, or re
tiring.”
“I’ll decide at a later date what is best for my family
and my career,” he said.
The selection, Landry said, was not made on preseason
performances although Hogeboom had the better record.
White threw four interceptions to none for Hogeboom,
who rallied the team to a 31-24 victory over Houston
Saturday night in the final exhibition game of the season.
“Both were at a high level,” Landry said. “I just wish it
was more clear cut. But the change is best for us right
Cowboy players applauded the move.
“The coach finally listened to us,” said fullback Ron
Springs. “Hogeboom was the most respected on the team.
Danny had great stats but his confidence was lacking.
Players don’t like to hear things like that but it’s the truth.
We expected great things from Hogeboom.”
Safety Dextor Clinkscale said Hogeboom is “cocky and
confident. Maybe that’s what we need.”

Federals seek move to Baltimore
BALTIMbRE (AP) A deal is
almost wrapped up to bring the
Washington Federals here, but the
lack of support from Mayor Wil;
liam Donald Schaefer poses a ma
jor problem, according to a
member of an investment group
trying to buy the team.
Richard Sammis, owner of a
Perry Hall car dealership and part
of a 10-member investment group,
said “we’d have a team here to
morrow” if Schaefer would en

the top teams and if there’s a
merger (between the USFL and the
National Football League), then
he’d be back in the NFL.”
Schaefer has acknowledged his
office is having discussions with
Myles, Tanenbaum, owner of the
USFL champion Philadelphia
Stars, but Schaefer says he also is
talking with some NFL teams.
The problem with the USFL,
Schaefer repeatedly notes, is its
spring schedule would conflict with
the baseball season of the Balti
more Orioles at Memorial Stadi
um, the. city’s only major outdoor
sports arena.
The USFL'voted last week to
shift to a fall schedule in 1986, but
Schaefer wants football, to resume
in Memorial Stadium by 1985. The
stadium was vacated by the NFL
Colts last March.
Schaefer, traveling in Great Brit
ain, was unavailable to comment
on Sammis’ lament. Press secre
tary Pat Bernstein said she knew
nothing about the football negotia
tions.
The head of Schaefer’s task force
searching for a new football team,
J. Henry Butta, was out of his
office all day yesterday and unrea
chable.
The current owners of the Feder
als are under pressure to sell soon.
The Federals have been a failing
team at the box office and on the
field during the USFL’s two-year
history. The team has been up for
sale for months.

Mets acquire Knight from Astros
NEW YORK (AP) The New York Mets acquired
third baseman Ray Knight from the Houston Astros
yesterday for three minor league players to be named
later. “I’ve been trying to make this trade for Some
time,” said Mets General Manager Frank Cashen in
announcing the deal at a press conference at Shea
Stadium.
Knight, 31, a lifetime .285 hitter before this season, has
had a sub-par season so far with a .223 average in 88
games with 10 doubles and 29 RBI.
Cashen said Knight would be used as a utility infielder,
filling in at first and third base, where Hubie Brooks has
had shoulder problems. He will also give the Mets a right
handed pinch-hitter off the bench, “which we sorely
need,” said Cashen.,
“I’ve liked him ever since he was with Cincinnati,” said
