Todd said.
In the past, linebacker D.D..

Roger Staubach starts. Third-

preseason.
White had been scheduled to
start at quarterback in Sun-
day night’s exhibition game

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.
(AP) — Dallas Cowboy quar-
terback-punter Danny White
is expected to be out of action
for three weeks with a broken
thumb — joining running
backs Tony Dorsett and Scott
Laidlaw on this week’s list of
pre-season casualties.’
White complained of
soreness and swelling
Thursday after injuring his
right thumb in a passing drill
Wednesday. An Xray ex-
amination revealed the frac-
ture.
Dr. Marvin Knight, the Cow-
boys’ team physician, said
White would have his hand in a
cast for about three weeks,
and a further diagnosis would
be made at that time. Knight
said White may be able to
resume punting when the cast
is removed, but a return to
quarterbacking would have to
be considered later.
“He was following through
i on a pass and hit (defensive
lineman) Larry Bethea jin the
" chest,” team spokesman Doug
Todd said. "It was swollen and
sore this (Thursday) morning.
He went to the trainer and
they did some X-rays and it’s
fractured.”
Former Cowboys punter
Duane Carrell agreed to terms
late Thursday and was to re-
port to training camp for pos-
sible duty. Carrell punted for
the Cowboys in 1974, and also
has seen duty with the New
York Jets, Los Angeles Rams
and St. Louis Cardinals. He
did not play in 1978.
The Dallas Cowboys travel to the Kingdome to play the Seattle
Seahawks in a Sunday night game that will be broadcast on
national television and broadcast locally on Channel 8.
The Cowboys are one and one on the year having defeated the
Denver Broncos 7 to 6 Saturday night at Texas Stadium. The
Seahawks opened their pre-season schedule at home last Thur-
sday night by edging the Minnesota Vikings 12 to 9.
Dallas and Seattle have'played twice previously, once in
regular season and once in pre-season. The Pokes beat the
Seahawks the first year they were formed 28 to 13 and the
Seahawks came back to surprise everyone with a 23 to 17 victory
over Dallas in an overtime game in Seattle in 1977.
Jack Patera is the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. He
guided the team to a 2 and 12 record their first year in the league
and improved that to five and nine the second year. Last fall the
franchise finished with a nine and seven winning season. Patera
earned Coach of the Year honors last season for keeping his team
in playoff contention until the last week. Patera played seven
years in the NFL as a linebacker, the last two years with the
Cowboys.
Dallas’ Coach Tom Landry plans to start using his regulars
more beginning this week in Seattle after playing rookies and
veteran backups extensively in the first two outings of the year.
Against Denver, the Cowboys used the passing of backup
quarterback Glenn Carano and a stingy defense that yielded only
203 yards to squeeze out a victory over the Broncos. Carano came
in after Roger Staubach suffered a mild concussion on the
Cowboys’ eighth offensive play. The third year pro from Nevada-
Las Vegas engineered a 12 play, 76 yard touchdown drive in the
second quarter that overcame the two Jim Turner field goals for
Denver. . \
In that only scoring drive for the Cowboys, Carano converted "
three third-down passes, one 17 yards to Jay Saldi, one 24 yards to "
Robert Steele and another 14 yards to Saldi, to set up Larry
Brinson’s one-yard scoring plunge.
Carano finished with four completions in nine attempts for 66
yards in less than one half of action. Danny White played the
second half and veteran running back Doug Dennison led the
Dallas rushers with 37 yards on eight carries.
“The intensity was better this time,” Landry said, “When you
play this many people you are going to have errors and errors
have plagued us in both our games. Glenn Carano handled the
team well and some of our backs ran tough against a pretty good
defense. Some of our receivers caught well.”
Landry pointed out the good catch by Robert Steele on a tight
situation as an example. He also added that the biggest disap-
pointment of the game was the kicking game. Rafael Septien's
kick missed from 29 yards out. According to Landry, Waters
“messed up” the kicker’s timing when he said “set" instead of
the usual down call.
The Dallas head mentor said he was encouraged by the per-
formance of rookie defensive linemen Ralph DeLoach, Curtis
Anderson, Bruce Thornton, and Mike Calhoun, who teamed late in
the game on two sacks and a fumble recovery to stop the Broncos.
“Some of our rookie defensive linemen hustled, ”< I Andry
commented. “That’s what you look for even though you know they -
are going against the other team's rookies. But maybe that will
give them the spark and you will find a player.”
Summing up, Landry said, “The win was the most encouraging
' aspect. You can’t expect a team to look crisp when you mix up the
players. When you look at the same 11 guys in there doing the job
this fall you won’t see as many mistakes."
Landry said Staubach was okay and would be back in the
Seattle game. He added that the senior quarterback wanted back
in the game at Dallas after halftime. »
Full back Todd Christensen remains the Cowboys leading pre-
season rusher with 62 yards on 15 carries for a 4.1 average. Jay
Saldi and Preston Pearson both have five catches on the year with

LOS ANGELES (AP)
Those who felt the impact of
powerful, professorial Walter
Francis O’Malley, who pio-
neered the westward expan-
sion of American sports and
made Los Angeles a big
league town, are mourning his
loss today.
"The passing of Walter
O’Malley in many ways leaves
the ship without a rudder,”
said Detroit Tigers, owner
John E. Fetzer. “He was a
tower of strength and his
leadership constantly led to
important decision-making
that gave baseball a true
sense of dirction.”
It was O’Malley, a lawyer-
engineer, who masterminded
the 1988 move that brought the
Dodger franchise here from a
crumbling Brooklyn neighbor-
hood. It gave the West Coast
its first taste of major league
baseball. Other sports — bas-
ketball and hockey — soon fol-
lowed. ----------
O’Malley died of heart
failure Thursday at Methodist
Hospital in Rochester, Minn.,
four weeks after the death of
his wife, Kay. He had been
hospitalized since June 28.

a moment's silence at the
